Several People Lost in It The Mexican
' Revolt ITield Is not Improving
The Cherokee Election.
Chicago, Dec. 24. A Washington
special says : "There are some facts
that point strongly to the probability of
war." The war department is forward
ing recruits in squads of forty or fifty as
rapidly as possible to fill complete regi
ments. "In the far west and on the
Pacific," General Schofield said : "There
are 10,000 men available to send out of
the country, but no more could be spared
from the general army." Gun carriages
are being shipped to San Francisco, in
sections and guns will follow at an early
date. General Schofield has been twice
summoned before the cabinet and ' has
given it as his opinion that if ten thous
and men are sent out of the" country, it
will be quite possible to fill their places
in the regular army at home by thertem
porary enlistments from the militia. A
certain quota of the regulars equipped
for actual service at army posts are to be
called for from each state. . In case the
10,000 men transported to Chili should
not be enough, it is reported that the
president may call for 20,000 volunteers
for one year. '

Tha Administration la Weary.
Washington, Dec, 24. It is stated
semi -officially that the patience of the
administration- is nearly exhausted re
garding the Chilian situation. Secre
tary Blaine is now at work on an Amer
ican view of the case, and, when' fin
ished, the president will incorporate it
in a special message to congress. The
case will be such that congress can
take but one view. There is no doubt
among the foreign legation here whose
opinions are of any consequence, that
the . United States must hold Chili re
sponsible for the violence of its mob, or
fail to perform its duty under the inter
national stipulations. . ,
Lost In the Fog.
, London, jDec. 24. The fog that set
tled down over the city Tuesday last still
hangs over it and everywhere it is as
black as night. Business is interruped
and- the' money loss is serious as people
will not venture out' even to make
Christmas purchases. The saddest feat
ure of the sidnation is the great lose of
life caused- by persons losing their way
and wandering into rivers,, canals and
ponds. Already seven bodies of unfortu
nates who have fallen into the river and
drowned have been recovered. Four
other men and girls are reported missing
and there, is scarcely any doubt they
perished as the others did.
. A dispatch from Leeds this morning
states that three men, 'while walking
beside, the canal, lost their way in the
fog ' and fell into the water and were
drowned. There has tbe'en several per
sons killed on the railways. . -
-'y'-A- .'The Mexican Revolt.
. Laredo, Tex., Dec. 24.-i-Reports have
been received from Carrisio, in Seapota
county, by Captain Hardie's troops at
the United States cavalry station were
to the effect that there is no doubt "that
Garcia crossed the line with one hundred
men into Mexico at a point between that
city and Brownsville. Also that Garcia' s
men met the Mexican troops at Lasta
villas, 70 miles from the border and de
feated the latter. .There were about
forty men killed on both sides. This is
doubtless, authentic,' as it comes from
an officer on the ground.
Field No Better.
New York, Dec. 24. Edward Field
manifested no interest in the decision
rendered by the lunacy commissioners
in. bis case. ' He is seemingly as
oblivious to his surrounding and fate as
heretofore. He still refuses food, and
refuses himself to all callers. . - He todav
denied himself the one thing that seams
to have been his only comfort,, news
papers. Cyrus W. Field condition is
still hopeful, but Lindley is slcjwly

There.are but few signs of life at the

Senator Plnmb's Enneral.
Emporia, Kansas, Dec. 24. All that
is mortal of the late Preston B. Plumb
was placed beneath his native soil to
day. Tha Whole city is in mourning.
Service commenced with a private fu
neral service at the family residence,
which was of the simplest nature, and
was attended, only by members of the
family, the congressional delegates and
a few intimate friends. The funeral car
was then escorted to the church where
the casket was placed upon the cata
falque and the lid was removed. At 2
o'clock the funeral services were held.
A Novel Salt.
New York, Dec. 24. The Evening
World says ; "Unless a compromise is
effected, Russell Sage will probably be
made the defendant in a most novel
euit. . Preliminary steps have been'
taken to bring action against. Sage for
heavy damages for having used Brokers
Clark and W. R. Laidlow to shield him
self when Narcross, the dynamiter, ex
ploded bis bomb in Sage's office. It is
understood that the amount of damages
to be claimed has been placed at
$100,000.

- The Farnellites Ahead.
Dublin, Dec. 24 The election in
Waterford yesterday to fill the vacancy
in the commons caused by the death of
Powers, passed off without any serious
disturbance of the peace. The Parnell-
ites carried the day. - This is the first
election won by that section of the Irish
party since the split occurred. The re
turns show that John Redmond (Par
nellite) received 1,725 votes and Mictuel
Davitt (McCarthyite,) 1 ,238.
Will Probably Go to Chill.
San Francisco, Dec. 24. The. flag
ship San Francisco will sail at noon on
Saturday next, unless contradictory or
ders are received. As her orders are
sealed, ' her destination is a matter of
conjecture, but there is little doubt but
that she is bound for Chili. It is ex
pected that supplies and mail for the
steamship Charleston will be transferred
to .that vessel, probably at Acapulco.
The Cherokee Election.
Tablequak, Ind. Ter., Dec. 24. C,
J. Harris has been elected the principal
chief of the Cherokee nation, to succeed
J.B.Mays, who died last week. Ste
phen Tehee was elected second chief.

One Hnsband Too Many.
London, Dec. . 23. The Bonapart di
vorce case came up for further hearing
yesterday. Justice Jeune decided when
the case first came up that the petition
should be so amended as to include the
charge of adultery, and ordered if the
petition was not so amended it should
betaken off file.. .When the case was
called the petitioner failed to amend her
petition as directed by the court. Prince
Clovis Bonapartes then presented a
counter petition asking for a disolution
of his marriage to petitioner on the
ground that the ceremony was void be
cause the woman s nrst husband was
living.
, Mors Trouble' in Brazil.
. . - - . - - .,
London, Dec. 23. A dispatch was re
ceived in this city today from Buenos
Ayres saying reports are current there
that political troubles in the Brazilian
state of Rio Grande have broken out

parts of the state,' and. where the civil
and military authorities attempt to

ments are succeeaing rapidly. ,

IN
THE
RIVEE.
A Land Slide Throws a- Train Prom the
Track The Chilian Cabinet
Will Resign.
Washington, Dec. 23. A correspond
ent of the New York Times ' telegraphs :
"Our controversy with Chili is approach
ing a conclusion. It is learned that the
latest communications from Minister
Egan are of a character to discourage
any diplomatic attempt to iuduce the
Chilian authorities to express any regret
at the assault upon our sailors at Valpa
raiso or to make any reparation for the
killing of the men of the Baltimore.
Mr. Biaine was absent from the cabinet
meeting, and an evening paper says his
failure to attend was in consequence of
'business at the state department.'
That business was imperative. The sec
retary of state was engaged upon the
preparation 01 the American case against
Chili. When made up, the president -will
incorporate it in a message to con
gress. .
TROUBLES IN CHINA.
A Pierce Battle With the Rebels In
: Which They Come Oat Victorious.
London, Dec. 23. Particulars of the
recent battle reported near Foochow, in
which it was stated that the rebels had
been routed, have just been received
here, .and showed that the imperial
army suffered a crushing defeat. The
people had risen en masse in the dis
trict of Tuk Fa, three days' journey from
Foochow, in a northeast direction, and
had slaughtered several officials. Five
thousand imperial troops were sent
against the rioters by Viceroy Pin and a
bloody engagement ensued in which
2000 of the soldiers were killed, thp re
mainder fleeing panic-stricken. A new ..
subject for discussion and excitement in '
Foochow is just now detracting some at
tention from the .rebellion, and the
authorities hope it will help them in the
suppression of the rioters. It is talk
about a possible war - between Russia
and China. Doubtless this has been
caused by dispatches from London re
porting the advance of the Russian ex
pedition over the Chinese frontier. The
authorities are fanning the flame and.
making the most of it.
A TRAIN WRECK
The Engine and Nine Cars Thrown off '
the Track.

neer ond one brakeman were completely
buried nnder the wreck, but the entire
crew escaped serious injury. The cars
that are off the track are badly broken.

morning, and by hard work will have
the track rebuilt so that trains can pass
by at 4 p. m. today. There were four
slides between Castle Rock am: Kelso,
that delayed the passenger train from
Portland about five hours in arriving
here last nights The rain yesterday was
a constant pour down along the section..
Chilian Cabinet Will Resign.

the Timet at Santiago de Chili says" that
