AMERICAKS IHPKISONED.
United States --Minister McKlnney'i
Request fur TUelr Release Denied.
New Yobk. June 25. A special from
Colon says: Governor Velez, of Carta
gens, and United States Minister Mc
Kinney have had a tilt. Mr. McEinney
while on the way here from Bogota
found two Americans, an engineer and
a conducter on the Cartagena railway,
incarcerated at Cartagena for running
"over and causing the death of a native
woman. McKinney asked for their re
lease. Upon bis request being refused
he threatened to invoke the aid of his
government, and pressed his demand as
the American minister to Colombia.
Governor Velez said Mr. McKinney
was at the moment only a private gen
tleman, without locus standi, because on
quitting Bogota his duties as minister
K fell upon the locum tenens.
The governor thereupon ordered the
prisoners into closer confinement,

FOUfrrg op JuiiY
ing occupied by the house of congress.
The edifice was regarded as the finest in
Chili, and but little of the furniture or
archives were saved. . The loss is esti
mated at about $1,000,000 in United
States gold, without considering the ar
chives, which can never be replaced.
The building was begun in 1857, but was
not dedicated until 1876, during the
presidency of Frederick Errazuris.
"While there are rumors that the fire
was the work of incendiaries, it seems to
he more naturally the result of accident.
There were several lighted stoves in the
building, which probably caused an ex
plosion by escaping gas.
"The government has called for plans
for a new building, notifying congress
that on their completion it will ask for
funds for its reconstruction. An extra
session of congress, called to consider
the financial question, is now being held
in the state university,'"

Their Relations Said to be Strained.
Trouble Probable Between Russia
and Japan Over Core.
London, June 26. Conservative lead
rs seem to have opened Pandora's box
of troubles in forcing the Rosebery gov
ernment to resign. The latter have
clearly the best of the situation. Lord
Salisbury is compelled to makeacabinet
with a hostile majority, and . as events
are now tending, will be obliged to go
before the country with at least some in
dication of policy about the present
burning social question.
The news of most interest in America
is that Joseph Chamberlain 'having pre
cipitated the present situation, has been
disappointed iji his ambitions. He de
manded the chancellorship of the ex
chequer, but Lord Salisbury refused it,
and gave him the secretaryship of state
for the colonies, which be has accepted.
This post is lower in point of official
status than the home office, the war de
partment or the admiralitr.
The fact that Lord Dufferin has come
from Paris has excited some uneasiness
quite apart from home politics. It
transpires that the present state of rela
tions between this country and France
is serious, if , not threatening. It has
been suggested that Lord Dufferin has
been asked to undertake the lord lieut
tenancy of Ireland, but the fact to that
he cannot be permitted to leave Paris
until the Anglo-French -. relations are
much improved.
Late last night a report waB circulated
that Mr. Chamberlain had withdrawn
nis consent to accept the colonial secre
taryship and bad 'applied, for the war
office. But his appointment to that of
fice would be immediately , challenged,
as he and his brother are largely inter
ested in cartridge manufactories, which
have contracts with the government.'
According to the latest information
dissolution will take place next week.
The members of the McCarthy party
have nearly all returned to Ireland to
make preperations for the struggle.
Redmond has stated that he will contest
every seat in Ireland, which declaration
might'be interpeted that he is receiving
other than Irish financial support. Mc
Carthyite calculation is that his party
will win three seats from Redmond and
five from Ulster tories, . while they may
themselves loose two; so that they ex
pect a net gain of six. This is provided
Healy does not 'raise a flag of revolt,

' Still Insists.'
Los Anoeles, . June 57. Democratic
State Central Committeemaa Mitchell
who sent a letter to Chairman Gould
some days ago asking to have a meeting
of the committee called, for the purpose
of calling a silver meeting of the state,
and received an unfavorable reply, has
now addressed a second letter to Chair
man Gould This letter is sharp, and
takes exception to' the fact that Mr.
Gould took Mr. Mitchell's other letter
personally. It asks that the centra)
committee be polled on the question- of
calling a silver convention. "That a
preponderance of democratic opinion ex
ists in favor of the coinage of silver at a
ratio of 16 to 1 is a fact that you seem
not to be impressed with,' and I will set
this down to your ignorance of current
events.. I well understood that the -species
of egotism that prompts you to
make the remarkable statements of vour
letter. If you really bold the views you
express, I think the head of the state
democratic committee would be most ac- '
ceptahle to that . element in society
known as 'anarchist.
A Horrible' Death.

ankle, screw worms commenced to drop
from his nose. Several physician s at

his head, dropping from his nose and
mouth, and on opening his mouth, a
mass of insects could be seen. Finally
tbey reached his brain, resulting in his
death.

the republicans of the West and the
populists would vote.
