Niw Yukk, Nov. 3, Captain Erben, of tl if navy yard in Brooklyn, lias made lliia aluloiuent: It is the opinion of tlie yard that the trouble lietwcen our government and Chili will not go so far aa to wtcessilate tlie send ing 10 Valparaiso of our cruiser. In case it should become necessary to send a part of the navy to South America not more than four ships would be needed to carry on ulce rations against Chill. There are not more than three or four war slil in lis navy which could ofTer resistance to our cm I sera. It I hardly prohahte that England, Ger many, or any of the great poweri of Eu rope would Interfere between the United States and Chili should a war result, and if it should be considered necessary to tend our navy to tbe South Pacific, there would be no need of holding hack war ships to pro tect the coast In anticipation of trouble with European governments. Ho far as Oertnany la concerned, the admiral of her navy lias staled he Believed the treatment of the American sailor was an outrage, and the United States government bad the right to reparation. England, however great may be her commercial and financial interaaU In Chili, will never take sidt-j against tlie United 8laU-s in trouble arising from the recent outrages. To get the cruisers and other vessels now here in condition would take but a few days. The ship now at the Brooklyn navy yard are: Philadelphia, Atlanta, Vern ont, Con cord, Bennington, Miantonomah. Terror, Petrel, Chicago The Boston baa left for the South Pacific elation, and the Yorklown if on her way there. The Newark la at Boston and ready fur sailing orders. Tbe Charleston, the flag ship of the Asiatic station, is in China. Tbe Vesuvius iaexcted here from Washington to-morrow, and th torpedo boat Cushing is at Washington. The San Francisco ia on tbe Pacific coast, and the Baltimore ia at Valparaiso. The heavily-armored, double turyetol monitor Miantonomah was put in ova, mission Monday noon and Is a fearful antagonist for any war ship. She carries four sixtecn-inch guns, six two-poundera, two three-pounders, two machine guns and two (iatliiig guns, and is ready to leave on notice. The cruisera of the first class have twin screws and can make the fastest time. They are: the Chicago, Baltimore, Phila delphia, Newark and San Francisco. This tremendous naval force is in fine condition, and could lie assembled against the Chilian fleet in little over a month, but would find no vessels approaching them in power along the whole Pacific coast within that time. At no time recently has our" navy been in a po sition lo place so many of its best war ships at the front in so short a time. Said a naval officer today : We should not need troops In Chili, for our war vessels with their complement of marines and sailors would he ample for the purpose of subjugating Chili, should it ever come to that point, which I very much doubt. VtMVtHAIM), llll.r.. It la a Wtrongly l'ortilied Harbor and City. San Francisco, Nov. 5. Whether the sending of additional United States war-vessels to Chilean waters is intended its a mere naval demonstration or as pre lude to mora serious business the fact has not been lo8t sight of by the author ities that Valparaiso is a strongly forti fied city, and that the Chileans are trained by tlie experience of two recent wars in tbe maneuvering of ironclads and the use of heavy ordnance. Prior to the recent revolution in Chile, and while the signs of the coming strug gle were manifesting themselves to the advisers of Ralmacedft, it was resolved to put the defenses of Valparaiso in thor ough modern trim, and to guard against thd dangers of attack by sea. As the insurrection was developed by a chain of natural causes in the nitrate districts of the north, and the Andean chains pre vented a direct march south, it followed that the first efforts of the insurgents would be made on the seas, and the en ergy with which Balmaceda applied himself to the work of fortifying Valpa raiso is thus aa clearly comprehensible as his incomprehensible carelessness in leaving tlie city entirely exposed on the side. When all the forts had been provided with modern armor-piercing Krnpp guns of all calibers from 6 inch up to 10 and 12 inches with a range up to seven miles, the experts unanimously pro nounced Valparaiso impregnable from the sea. It is a significant circumstance that the capture of the city in this man ner was not even attempted by General Canto and his colleagues. The new Chilean government is now in exclusive possession and control of these formidable fortifications, and inspection of the plan reveals the fact that even as formidable a squad- ron aa that which lioiuliarded Alex andria in 1HH12 woul l have a heavy contract on liund in tlie cae of Val paraiso. i:ii(liiul -will .ot liitrrlere. Lomiox Nov, 1 The merchant in the Cliilian trade are moving every influence at their command to bring about f'ritisli interference in behalf of Chili in tbe present ni'munderHtamling Mween Cbili and the United States. There ia no likelihood, however, that Lord Salisbury will consent to have anything to do wi'.b the affair aa long an British rights are respected. tkOI TIIKK.'V H.4 IFIC I'l.XKU. Found (jlallly of IHxrrliulimUon In I'rt-lght Charge. Albany, Or. Oct. 30 In the first of tlie two cases of tbe Hlnte sgainat E. F. Rogers, of the Southern Pacific Co., for diacriminalioQ in Ireight rate, the jurv returned a verdict of guilty. Counsel for the defendant filed a motion for a new trial and arrest of judgement, whicb Judge Boise overruled. Time for sen tence was waived, and the court imposed a fine of $1000. The case will be appeal ed to the supreme court. Tbe second case was continued. The outcome of these suits was watch ed with deep interest. In violation of tbe Iloult law, the Southern Pacific com pany had been charging less for hauling grain from certain points a longer di lance than other points nearer, and thus killing local matlteU. This is in keeping with a general practice to build up trade at corajierative points at the ex pense of tbe shippers at non-competitive points. Tbe case ia an important one, because it shows how the company has been disregarding state laws. The first jury disagreed, as several of the jurors were men holding discriminative con tracts or who had received favors from the railroad. IORi l.VM-M Illll.Il"U Proteus of the Kat Nldern Ha Reached Wawhlagton. Washington, Nov. SO The protest of the merchants and business men of Portland, against the selection of a site for the proposed public building on the East Side, , has arrived at the treasury department. From the assistant sec retary it is learned that both Senator Mitchell and Polph called at the treasury department last May and requested that no agent of tbe government should be sent to Portland to select a site until the vote of consolidation had taken place in order that the new wards, formerly Albina and East Portland, could be con sidered. The East Siders say they are still in it. The llMwaiin Minister Dead. New York, Nov. 1 P. A. Carter, min ister to the United States from Hawaii, died here this morning at 1 :30 at the Everett house.

Aided a CuiiirK Kevolt. Shanuuai, Nov. 2 Mason, the British subject arraigned before the assizes here, pleaded guilty of the charge of having been in league with Kolao Hai, secretary of a secret society, and to having trans ported contraband, arms and dynamite consigned to and intended for the insur gents. He was sentenced to nine months imprisonmeut at hard labor. A Hold Itobbery. Omaha, Nov. 1 A special from Homer Neb . says the state bank was robbed this morning by two masked men, of $1000. The robbers went to thecashier's residence and compelled him at the point of a revolver to accompany them to the bank and open the safe, after which they gagged and bound him. The robbers escaped. , , , . The Memory oi Jeff Davis. Charlsston, S. C. Oct. 29.

Im mediately beneath this the following: " Notes due at this ba.ik will be found at the Second National bank." Two policemen, who stood at tbe entrance had little to do, as there was no excite ment, and but few people seeking en trance to tbe banking rooms. Lewis Lombard, second vice-president and eastern manager of the Lombard In vestment Company, says the deposit of his company in tlie Maverick bank, will not cause any trouble except a temporary inconvenience in' the matter of keeping accounts. AU cus tomers who bold checks on tbe Maverick bank, on return of the same, would be given checks on other banks in which the Lombard company had deposited. Several such were presented this morn ing and redeemed. The banks have voted to assess them selves 3 per cent of tbe amount of their loans to apply to relieving the depositors in tbe Maverick bank who may choose to assign claims against that institution .

Dispatches just re ceived Iron) Hiogo, Japan, say that the earthquake of Wednesday last destroyed the towns of Nagoya, Uifu and Osaka . All of the public building and moat of tbe smaller structures were thrown down. A fire in Xagoya completed the work of destruction. It is estimated that tbe to tal number of persons who lost their lives by the disaster exceeds 3000 . Many ves sels are reported as having been wrecked in the vicinity of Hiogo, and during tlie seismic disturbances the waters of the lakes in the surrounding country were violently agitated. Only a few of the Niphon Islands escaped the earthquake and Kobe suffered but little damage. The number of Europeans killed is small. The various roads were blockaded by immense heaps of debris ; traffic on the different railroads has betn suspended and all the telegraph lines are entirely prostrated. Full details of the disasters cannot be learned for several days to come. ' U IE H I XI I ( Ol.l MHI A. A ItiftSuit Watch Presentation -Sew Meanier, Etc. Victoria, B. C. Oct. 30.

An appeal will be filed by Timothy and Mary K. Hopkins, of Menlo Park, Cal., from the decree allowing the will of Mrs. F. Searles to stand. The reasons given are: First, the document was not duly at tested : second, at the date of the execu tion of said document, Mary F. Searles had not sufficient testamentary capacity ; third, the signature of the said Mary F. Searles to the document was procured by the undue influence and fraud of Ed ward F. Searles and others.
