crowded.

ator was borne out to be taken to the

WASHED UP FROM THE
SEA.
A Man and Boat Supposed to Belong; to
the General 15 u tier Found -The
Southern Pacific Strike.
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. This is sup
posed to be in satisfaction of the claims -of
the government against them, and it
is believed the civil , suit will be dis
missed. 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.
Evidence of Other Forgeries.
New York, Dec. 19. District Attor
ney Nicoll says :; "I have learned by
looking over the books of the bankrupt
firm of Fields, Lindley, Weichers & Co.,'
that-Field was very hard pressed for
money for sixty days before the failure,
and hypothecated all the securities he
could lay his bands on, and paying out -the
money right and left in stock specu
lations. The books show that on Nov
ember 24th Field drew checks for over
$400,000, which he paid to various firms
of stockbrokers. .There are evidences of
other forgeries besides those two bills of
lading." . .
