New Yobk, Dec. 19. A special from Washington to the World says that its correspondent was enabled to secure to night a translation of a cypher dispatch from Minister Egan to the state depart ment, in which he stated that a critical state of affairs existed in Santiago. The dispatch states that the American lega tion is surrounded by the police and a mob, and threats are freely made to blow it up or burn it on account of the refugees there. Copies of the cablegram, the correspondent says, had been sent to the president and navy department, and much consternation had been created in the latter by its receipt. The correspondent further states that a cablegram had been prepared to be sent to Minister Egan, asking him to report on the situation. It is believed at the navy department, the correspondent says, that the state of affairs around the legation would'not exist if proper police protection was given. . If the situation is real'y as grave as reported, the naval officials think that nothing but force can get the refugees out of the legation . The effect of Mr. Egan's dispatch, it is thought, will result in a demand by Blaine for a prompt decision in the Bal timore case. If this is unfavorable, con gress will be called upon to act, and if in the meantime any further hostile dem onstrations are made, an ultimatum will . be sent to the Chilian government and . the navy-will back it up. : Guilty of Smuggling. San Francisco, Dec. 19. The sum of $70,000 has been paid into the treasury department of the firm of Neuberger, Reiss & Co., the members of which were indicted for : smuggling.

The case dates from last Sep tember, when a case of goods consigned to the firm fell from a dray and burst open, revealing the smuggled goods. The entire consignment was seized, aa were several subsequent consignments, and nearly all proved to be falsely in- . voiced. Nearly all the invoices received by the firm during the year were in spected by L. M. Cashin, deputy col lector, who has been dismissed lor al leged complicity in the smuggling.
