A Ship Nearly Eight Months Out From

Valparaiso, Dec. 1. The United
States ship Yorktown arrrived here yes
terday. Her crew received a royal wel
come from the men of the Baltimore,
which will in all liklihood sail for the
north. The . intendente of Valparaiso
has requested Captain Schley to furnish
the evidence of the BaUimore's surgeons
in regard to the nature of boatswain's
mate Biggin's wounds, to aid in deter
mining whether the latter's wounds
were caused by Jk pistoPor a rifle bullet.
Rifles are carried by Chilian police. The
Chilian doctor who attended Jtiggin
swears his death was caused by a re
volver bullet. Notwithstanding this
there is a silent witness to the contrary
in the hole made in the shirt and neck
tie of the Baltimore's sailor, who was
holding Riggin in his arms after Riggin
was stabbed. This hole was made by a
rifle bullet of 42-caliber, and proves con
clusively the shot was fired" by the po
lice This is sustained by the evidence
of the Baltimore's surgeon, who meas
ured the bullet wound,. "
In the course ' of conversation with
British Minister Kennedy today, he said
he regretted the attacks made in some
Chilian papers, and by Thompson in the
London Ttmeu, on American Minister
Egan. Kennedy added that when Min
ister Egan's conduct became thoroughly
understood the opinion- of the world
would be considerably altered in regard
to it. Thompson, since his arrival here,
has attacked Egan on the strength of in
formation from irresponsible, sources.
He might have secured reliable informa
tion by calling upon Minister Kennedy,
but never took that trouble.
A Chilian official said today his gov
ernment has no intention of making an
apology orpajing indemnity as suggested
by the United States; The attitude of
the; whole- government is still, defiant.
No steps have yet been taken to cut
down the army or navy, and even the
volunteers sent home wee instructed to
retain their arms.
Parnell's Brother,has a Mission.
New York, Dec. 1. John Howard
Parnell, eldest brother of. the bite Irish
leader, arrived from the South yesterday
on his way to Ireland. He. will be ac
companied by his mother. Parnell's
mission to Ireland is one which is des
tined to bring him into much promi
nence. As head of the Parnell family
he is desirous of bringing to an end the
factional spirit which relies upon hie
brother's name for its existence. It is
his purpose to open a negotiation for the -
reunion of all the Irish members under
the leadership of William O'Brien or
some other equally acceptable man. .
A Vessel Thought to he Lost.
San Francisco, Dec. 1. It ig feareoV
here that the new iron ship Josephine
Troop, which left Glasgow 232 days' age
for San Francisco with a cargo of Scotch'
splint coal, has been Tost at sea. The
length of time that has elapsed since she
left Glasgow, taken, into consideration
with the inflammatory cartro she carried.
and the fact that four vessels with simi
lar cargoes and bound from the same
port to San Francisco have been burned
at sea within the year, leads to the be
lief that sho lias succumbed to the rava-'
ges of fire.
.Died From Smoking a Pipe.
Pittsburg, Pa., Dec. 1. Mrs. Mary .
McVay, of Bradddck, , died yesterday
after having voluntarily fasted 150 days.
She was nearly 70 years old, and had for
six months been . suffering from cancer
of the lower jaw, and had refused all
food and drink except buttermilk. " She
incurred the cancer as the result of
smoking a pipe, which she did inveter
ately for forty-five years.;. Through the
habit of holding the pipe' for hours in
the same position between her teeth,
she 'allowed the nicotine to drip upon
the same spot in her cheek.
A Slight Not Intended. .
Rome, Dec. 1. It is reported that.
Count Kalnoky has explained to Count
Nigra, the Italian ambassador, that in a
recent speech in the Austrian delegation
he did not intend to allude to the in-,
tegrity of Rome, but simply expressed a
wish for cordial relations between the
Vatican and quirinal, so as to dispel the
international anxietv.
