The Chilean Gov ernment announces the mobilization of the Army at the end of November, ostensibly for maneuvers, says a dispatch to the Daily Mail from Buenos Ayres. The Ar gentine fleet has been ordered to be pro-' visioned and coaled and the sailors are working day and night. Three thousand manifestants arrived here today seeking the Intervention of the national govern, ment in. the Province of Santa Fe.

ONE CAUSE QF SAMAR TROUBLE Lprcga Surrendered "With His Entire Force and Negotiations Axe Pro- gresslng "With Mnxilot Fight A'enr Ilo Ho. , MANILA, Oct. 27. The constabulary re port a light with insurgents near Passi, Province of Ho Ilo, Island of Panay, In which 25 insurgents were killed, together with a quantity of arms and ammunition captured News from General Hughes regarding conditions in Cebu are encouraging; Lo rega has surrendered with his entire force and one cannon and seven rifles, while General Hughes is negotiating for the surrender of Maxilot, who styles himself "Governor Politico-MIlltar." His surren der will mean the pacification of the prov ince. Lack of food and the harrasslng effects of the aggressive tactics now pursued by the American forces are having their in fluence upon the natives. In many places, -where rice is doled out by the Govern ment, only enough is given for one meal, so that it is hardly possible for any large quantity to ilnd its way to the insurgents. It is believed that the recent manifesta tions in the Island of Samar were chiefly due to the lack of food, the insurgents Hnding it necessary to make outlets w the coast In order to obtain this. The first labor problem growing out oi the new tariff has arisen. A hat and um brella factory, employing 600 hands, has found it necessary to close. The Lawyers are making a protest to the commission, urging protection, as the same goods from Germany can be sold at half the price it takes to manufacture them here. Lieutenant Louis Van Schaick reports that in an attack by insurgents on the municipal police and scouts at Sabang, one scout was, killed and two of the police were captured. The insurgents secured two Krag-Jorgenson rifles, two shotguns and 200 rounds of ammunition. Lieutenant Van Schaick has been ordered to occupy the barrio or suburb of Sabang. Dispatches from Catbalogan, Samar, say that stringent and energetic measures are being taken to suppress the insurrection in that Island. General Smith has noti fied all the presidentes and head men of the pueblos that they must surrender all arms and turn over the persons impli cated in the Balangiga massacre before November 6, threatening that otherwise the presidentes will be sent to the Island of Guam, ' the village destroyed and the property confiscated. Marines under Ma jor Littleton W. T. Waller have been stationed at Balangiga and Basey, and 10 gunboats are vigilantly patrolling the Samar coast. Most of the towns in the .southern.part of the, island have been, de- ,jNayii vaaec Xjoveman JNoa, command ing the gunboat Marlveles, who had gone ashore at Nlpa-Nipa, South Samar, to prevent smuggling, was attacked by the Insurgents. He lost his revolver and was shot and boloed. ENTOMBED BY CAVE-IN. Unsuccessful Efforts to Rescue Tvro Utah Miners. SALT LAKE, Utah, Oct. 27. A telephone message from Bingham, Utah, tonight states that up to 10 P. M., rescuing par ties had failed to reach Charles Nutting and William Anderson, the two miners who were entombed by a cave-in In the Highland Boy mine Friday night. At that hour it was not known whether the imprisoned men were dead or alive, their signals having ceased after midnight last night. Great dllflculty is being en countered in reaching the place where the men are located. .The walls of the tunnel are constantly crumbling, not only impeding the work of rescue, but also endangering the lives of the miners who were endeavoring to save their entombed comrades. Pulled a Lamp Froin a Tahle. ALLEGHENY, Pa., Oct. 27. Thirteert-months-old Robbie Busier tonight pulled a lighted lamp from a table and was fatally burned. His mother, Mary Bus ier, in her efforts to save the baby, was seriously burned about the head and breast and her recovery- is doubtful. Three neighbors, Peter Grimes, Patrick McDer. mott and James McGovern, were all pain fully burned while extinguishing the flames. Mrs. Busier ran into the yard with her clothing ablaze and It became necessary literally" to tear the clothing from her. Killed at a Crossing. MILWAUKEE, Wis., -Oct. 27.

CHICAGO, Oct. 27 Father Jeremiah Crowley, late pastor of St. Mary's Church, at Orange, 111., has been excommunicated by Archbishop Feehan, of the Chicago diocese. The edict of excommunication for bids his being present or assisting at any of the public exercises or offices of relig ion in the Roman Catholic church. The order was the result of attacks by Father Crowley upon fellow pastors and charges of favoritism, fraud and cruelty which he made at the time Father Muldoon was consecrated as auxiliary bishop of the Chicago diocese. Father Crowley was warned repeatedly to desist, but finally Archbishop Feehan compelled him to re sign. Later Father Crowley withdrew his resignation, but it had already been accepted by Chancellor Barry and it was made absolute. Then Father Crowley started legal proceedings to keep his suc cessor out of the pastorate and renewed his attacks on Bishop Muldoon. A week ago Cardinal Martlnelll, the- papal dele gate, came to Chicago and took final ac tion. He gave Father Crowley a choice of two things to make humble penance and accept without protest a life within the confines of a monastery, or to be dis missed forever from the rights and priv ileges of the Catholic church. Father Crowley was given until Saturday night to decide and as nothing was heard from him, an order of excommunication was sent today by Archbishop Feehan to every pastor in the diocese. Father Crowley received a copy of the order, but he bade defiance to It today and attended two masses. It is said he will appeal to the pope. WOULD NOT BE A DICTATOR. Weyler's Speech in -the Chamher o Deputies. MADRID, Oct 27. During yesterday's sitting of the Spanish Chamber of Depu ties, which proved sensational, Senor Ro mero y Robledo cleverly led the Minister of War, General Weyler. to define his attitude and intentions. General "Weyler declared tnat while the war in. Cuba lasted, his views were totally distinct from those of the Liberal party, but that when the war was at an end, the motive foij separation disappeared, and he saw nothing to prevent him from attaching himself to a Liberal government. "I have always strictly observed disci pline," he "continued, "and he who talks of dictatorship is the enemy of discipline. Our recent maneuvers have proved that good feeling exists between the people and the Army. As for a dictatorship, no one thinks of such a thing. Dictators are the offspring of circumstances. For myselr, I may say this. I have never thought of being one, nor do I now. Nevertheless, if my aid were asked at a moment of grav ity, I do not know how X should decide between my political and military duties; but I shoild always incline toward the latter." Loud and prolonged uproar interrupted the Minister of War, and several of his Ministerial colleagues were unable to re strain expressions of surprise at his words. "I am a politician and a Liberal," he re sumed, "but before all I am a soldier: and if it should become necessar5 I will defend our institutions and Parliament." Senor Romero rejoined: "I take note of the declarations of the Minister of War on the subject of dictatorship." After attacking Senor Silvela, the Con servative leader, for advocating an alli ance between Spain and France, ' Senor Romero attacked General Weyler for In specting the forts in the neighborhood of Gibraltar without due cause. He de clared that these actions were "imprud ent and dangerous as tending to create an apprehension in a powerful country which has always advocated Spanish pre dominance in Morocco." El Pals asserts that Senor Sagasta will shortly resign the Premiership, owing to ill-health. General Weylerrs speech largely occu pies public attention in view of the pos sibility that he may become Premier, if Senor Sagasta, -whose health is 'indiffer ent, should find it necessary to retire. El Imparcial remarks that "a dark cloud en shrouds General Weyler since the de bate." Japanese Bond Issue. YOKOHAMA, Oct. 27. The Japanese Treasury announces the issue, of bonds to the amount of 16,500,000 yen. Of this sum 8,000,000 yen will be devoted to the re demption of other bonds, while the re mainder will be utilized in defraying the expense of the Chinese expedition. Opening o Manchurlan Road ST.

THE LEPROSY BACILLUS' Discovered hy a Physician of Ber gen, Norway. WASHINGTON. Oct. 27. United States Consul Nelson, at Bergen, Norway, has sent a report to the Marine Hospital Ser vice, in which he says that the prevalence of leprosy in Denmark mu9t be imputed to the uncleanliness and the grotesque carelessness of the people. He says there are six leprosy patients there, of whom four are in Copenhagen. In Denmark, leprosy does not belong to those few dis eases which are subjected to public treat ment. Iceland has its own leprosy law. At the Laugarnoes Hospital in Iceland, established by the Odd Fellows' order, 31 patients were received during 1S90, and of these 18 are now dead and only two have been discharged as fully recovered. Relapses were usual in leprosy cases. The death rate has been fearfully high, which is somewhat offset by the fact that that was the first year of the hospital work and the worst of Iceland's population first were admitted. The report says that Dr. Armareurer Hansen, of Bergen, has found the leprosy bacillus, but its antagonist is not yet discovered. The Icelanders are declared to be Imprudent, the sick people using the same beds, eating and drinking utensils as the healthy. Kansas Equal Suffragists. TOPEKA, Kan., Oct. 27.

Auxiliary clubs have been established at all the larger towns of the state. Four states, Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho and Utah, have given women the right of suf frage, and the call for the Kansas meet ing says that Kansas will be the next to fall In line, and at the convention plans will be matured for a campaign.

St. 'Petershurg and Introduce Electrical Traction Favorahlly Received. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 15. The offer of Murray A. Verner, of Pittsburg, Pa., to buy all the municipal and private street railways of St. Petersburg, introduce elec trical traction and organize a complete jfMMCtMMtMM frQ MAY BE CHAIRMAN OF FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE. SENATOR SHELBTT 31. CUIiLOM, OF ILLINOIS. i WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. It is abbut definitely determined that Sen ator Cullom will be chairman of the committee on foreign relations, al though frpm time to time it is asserted In some papers that President Roosevelt .will use his influence. to secure' the place for his friend, Henry Cabot Lodge. Cullom's promotion Is dependent wholly upon the attitude of Senator Frye, and the Maine Senator has said that he would remain at the head of the commerce committee. This means that Senator Cul lom can go to the head of foreign relations if he so desires, and he cer tainly desires the place. The determination of Senator Frye to remain at the head of the commerce committee is not only because members of the committee desire It, but because r e is familiar with nearly every sub ject that comes before that committee, and, more than this, he will be presiding officer of the Senate for the next three sessions of Congress. He could not very well perform all the duties devolving upon the chair man of the committee on foreign relations, and still be the active presid ing officer of the Senate. . - e-i--oo----o o ------- system of electrical tramways, has been received very favorably by the local press. The Municipal Council has been discussing the matter for several years, but Mr. Ver ner's offer is the first genuine step towards the introduction of electricity. The city owns three lines and a number of other lines are owned and operated by two pri vate companies. The city has begun legal proceedings against these companies with a view to unifying all the surface traction companies, and Mr. Verner's offer stipu lates that the city shall turn the private lines over to him when the matter has been litigated. Mr. Verner's offer is re garded by the press as straightforward, businesslike and fair. It is too early to predict success, since many cooks help make a broth in this city, but the Munici pal Council was not approached until Mr. Verner, who had been to St. Petersburg three times within four years, had care fully studied the whole problem from a financial and technical point of view, and, through his local representative. W. A. Heydecker, the American Vice-Consul, had sounded various authorities about the matter. Mr. Verner's proposal Is, briefly stated, to organize a company under the laws of Russia, with a capital stock of 52,000,000 rubles and the right to issue bonds to the same amount. He states that he and his friends can supply the money. He would agree to complete the transforma tion of all existing lines into electrical lines within four years from the date of the franchise, and would so arrange the traffic that no needless change of cars would take place in going to and from the center of the city. He would employ girder rails weighing 3G pounds (English) to the linear yard, except in the suburbs, where SO-pound rails would be used. Over head trolley wires would be used, but the insulated copper-feed wire would be car ried in conduits. Double-deck cars would be abolished and replaced by trains with three separate classes. The platform of the Win ter cars will be enclosed. Bridges will be widened and strengthened where necessary at the company's expense, and the com pany offers to assume the burden of building a stone or steel bridge across the Neva near the palace, to replace the pres ent wooden structure, the cost of the bridge to be deducted from the annual compensation payments. This is a point of great importance to the city, which is considering the issue of bonds for this purpose. It is stipulated that Russian ma terials and Russian engineers and work men shall be employed as far as avail able. The compensation stipulates the immedi ate payment by the company of the actual cash value of the inventory of the ex isting lines, the payment to the city dur ing four years of the previous revenue of the various lines and the payment annu ally thereafter of a percentage of the gross debts to be agreed upon by mutual consent. The municipality shall enjoy the right of purchase at the end of 25 years "again, after a lapse of an equal period and thereafter every 10 years. Bonds shall be paid format par and the net earning ca- pacity of the shares shall be capitalized for purposes of purchase. A Russian Sensation. An Immense sensation has been created here by the address with which M. A. Stahkovlch. Marshal of the Province of Orel, greeted the missionary congress at Orel M. Stahkovlch boldly preached free dom of conscience, toleration of the dissi dents and other arch-heresies with which nobles and officials are popularly sup posed not to be tainted. The speech has been printed by the paper of Prince Ouh tomsky, which appears to have more than common courage, and has called forth a storm of protest from the orthodox priests to whom he spoke and from the whole re actionary press. M. Stahkovlch declared the orthodox faith strong enough to be able to dispense with the police, and that it was time to permit everybody to seek and preach salvation after his own fash ion. The present system of conversion was characterized as barbarous and worse than useless. FOREST FIRES. Western Slopes of the Alleghnnies Are Ahlaze. UNIONTOWN, Pa.. Oct. 27.
