The Escapa of the Seized War Ship Etata- Shipping Arms From the United States to Chili. Washington, May 7. Treasury il iuartment ollicials are kept fully informed of the movements of the Chilian vessel Etata, which escaped from San Diego, Cal., yesterday, after being seized by the marshal, and of the fruitless c.t ane for the schooner Kobert and Minnie. They refuse, however, to say any thing in regard to the matter or make public dispatches about the allair. San ik;, Cal., May 7. Depu ty Marshal Spencer, who was on board the Data when fdio sailed, was put oil' at IJallast Point and returned to this city last night, concealing his identity until to day. Nkw Yokk, May 7. Charles R. Flint & Co. and" W. K. (ir ce & Co., of this city, do not deny that they have been engaged in ship ping arms to Chili. San Fkancisc-o, May 7. The Chronicle states that it has infor mation that gives ground for the statement that the steamer seen hoverinir around the entrance to San Dirgo harbor is the armed transport Imperal, now in posses sion of lialmacedu's party, and which left Valparaiso fo intercept the Ktata on her return voyage to Iquicpie. Senor Cassanova, former Chilian consul, says : ''It will be found British money is the main stay of the insurgents- against our government. The British want to obtain control of the nitrate de posits, and President I'.almaceda wishes them worked for the bene fit of the Chilian government." San Diego, May 7. The sudden departure of the Chilian steamer Ktata last evening and subsequent developments caused considerable excitement in this city to-day. Deputy Marshal Spencer, whose real name is Spaulding, returned to this city last evening and made a statement to-day. lie says the first intimation he had of the ves sel's preparations to leave was a hasty movement on the part of the crew, and when the captain in vited him to his cabin from the dinint; room he was surprised to find the steamer under full liead way. Then he made the following statement: "(Joint; into the cap tain's cabin I was joined by three passengers. They exhibited re volvers and asked me if I was armed, Captain Manzeum actine as spokesman, who then said : '1 have contraband goods on board and it is life or death with inc.' He then pointed his finger to his throat and said : 'See, this is what it means.' 1 was so dumbfounded that I could not answer. He then called two of the Chilian crew and they Ptood guard near the door, each armed with a revolver and a ritle. He then told me not to be alarmed but that if I went out of the cabin during his absence lie would not be respensible for what, would happen, telling me also that if I attempted to give a sign or to jump overl)oard he would not be responsible for the result. "About this time 1 noticed tlieni lifting out of the hold four smali steel cannons, which they immedi ately thereafter placed in position on the upper deck, all of which guns they loaded in my presence. The captain then stated that he intended putting me oil' at Ballast point. He then led me out of the cal in, followed by companions, each taking their revolvers, O.i reaching the bridge I found on the deck below one hundred Chilians; all armed to the teeth, each hav ing a repeating ri lie and a revolver. The captain laughed and said: 'See, we have changed to a man of war.' 1 looked at the pilot anil said: 'Arc you going to pilot the ship out'." The captain spoke up and said, 'no,' exhibiting a re volver. 'This is going to guide it.' The Etata then passed out of the bay, heading north, until they arrived to the spot where they put me oil'." THE t 'NITER STATES TAKES A HAND. San Francisco, May 7. The Alta California has positive infor mation that the United States steamship Charleston will sail for an 1 Metro (o-morrow in pursuit of the Chilian ship Etata. Secretary Tracy telegraphed special orders to-day, and the Charleston left Mare Island to-day. San Dieoo, May 7, It is claimed that when the Etata left the har bor, and when about ten miles out, she was overtaken by ancther steamer from otr the Coronado islands, who fired two guns and passed out of sight, in company with the Etata. From what was seen it does not look as if they were friendly disposed. Another statement is made that the Cor vete passed San Diego goine north at ! o'clock yesterday. Hying the Chilian tiag. Two deserters from the Chilian steamer Ktata were seen to-day, and in an interview stated that being tired of staying aboard they got away, intending to try their luck on the Xorth American conti nent. They state positively that the big warship Esmeralda accom FRIDAY, MAY ISiU panied the Etata as far north as Cape St. Lucas, and is now await ing the return of the latter vessel between here and that noint in order 1o get provisions and coal. The United States man-of-war Omaha arrived in port at noon from Maatlan. It is supposed she has been ordered here on ac count of the recent trouble. She will take coal and leave for the Ncrth in a few days. THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON. Washington, May 7. Attorney General Miller this afternoon made public the substance of the forrespondence in relation to the nsurgent vessel Etata and the Bchooner Robert and Minnie. The representations upon which the orders were originally given to de tain the Robert and Minnie were made by the Chilian minister and were to the effect that he had in formation that the neutrality laws were being violated. The attorney-genera! had several confer ences with the secretary of the navy during the diy, and th!s gave color to the story that ell'orts would he nude to recapture the Etata. "Can you take a vessel ou the huh seas without violation of law V" a reporter asked the secre tary. "Yes, sir,'' responded the secretary, emphatically. "Will you do it?" "I have no answer to make to that,' said the secre tary. This seems to summarize the present situation : The Etata will lie captured if pisaible, but she has a large start of pny pur suer. Her escape has ra'scd an important question of interna tional law. The Alabama claims, which cost Ureat Britain t0,0(lo, 001), arose in a similar manner, through the equipment of a con fedi rate vessel in an English port and the Mipplying of men, guns and ammunition to her by British vessels. As the Etata has been s-'ized at San I iego she was tech nically I'll ited States property until discharged, and is therefore liable to recapture on the high seas by a Tinted States man-of-war, or to conliscation if she ever enters a I 'n ited States port. TIIF. KEGELS I Kill TING. Vai.pauaiso, May 7. President Iialmaceda has rejected the de mands of the delegates from the congressional or insurgent paity, who have been trying to come to an understanding with the presi dent by which the civil war miu'lit be brought to a termination. Therefore a complete rii;tine ex ists in the peace in-g diat.ons, .in-l it appear.-) the struggle must be ie newed and fought out until one side or the other is utterly crushed. Balmaeeda has given notice of the withdrawal of bank notes, the withdrawal to take place at the rate of 10 per cent, monthly. He also demands that all import duties shall be paid in silver. Much excitement was caused here to-day by an attempt to assassinate leading members of the cabinet by means of a bomb thrown at tin; intended victims in the street. La Lihektai). Salvador, May 7. Advices received from Honduras state at 3 o'clock yesterday morn ing a force under Col. Molina and General P.ardales, both of whom are leading the rebels, made an at tack upon Cuartel at Ampala. The guard was taken by surprise and the rebels were soon in pos session of Caurtel. The govern ment troops were immediately summoned and a force comprising (nil) men, under command of Col.

Tiie "new minister, Mr. Solar, is now in New York but will come to Washington to present his creden tials soon after the president re turns. Though I. a comes as the regular accredited minister, it is understood Solar is really on a special mission to negotiate a reci procity airangement with the United States. Closer trade rela tions with the United States are imprtant to Peru. It is the only Soutn American country besides Brazil which produces sugar in large quantities, so it is important to Peru that it insures a lasting free market fjr this in the United States.

I1I.A1NE IS K KIT It I SY. Questions of International ImpirUnce Which Are Jott N-w Attracting Attention at ths Capitol. Washington, Mav 7. Another note from Secretary Blaine to Sir Julian Pauncefote, under date of April 14, is made public. It says in part: "Ihe modifications which Lord Salisbury suggests in the questions for arbitration in the Behriug sea controversy do not wholly meet tha views of the president, but the president changes the text of the third and fifth in such a manner, it is hope.J, as will result in an agreement between the two governments." There is a growing impression here that the result of the negotia tions now being conducted by Blaine and Sir Julian Paunrefote will be a closed scaling season this ear in Behring sea. No detinite agreement is likely to 1; reached or announced until after the return of the president on May li or 15. But the drift of opinion has set strongly in the direction of a con vention between this government and Great Britain, which v.ili sus pend the taking cf seals for the current year. An agreement made however, will undoubtedly s'.ipu late for the killing of enough seals during the summer to maintain the natives oi the two islands who depend absolutely upouti eat. una' sealing for their jiippoit. Tie-re is a vaH a.-euiimri'a! ion of matters requiring attention from the state department just now, and Secretary Blaine will proba bly be a very busy man during the summer. Recent events in the Chilian situation have added to the complexity of affairs, and there is now a long docket of unsolved diplomatic problems, as follows: Italian and Behring sea complica tions; Canadian reciprocity ; New foiindland fisheries negotiations; Chilian troubles ; i-panish agree ment; Venezuela treaty ; Havtian coaling station; refusal of China to receive our mi'iister; trouble over th I.iibue of the on-ud at Victoria to t-i-i't thr- piei-ii ; ami I'.nti-a niiinbt r ol minor iiii'.ters, incluilin.; the cami id the B.ii riiii i.ia family. linUE t.M KIll l.IKNT, 11 i an Kveiiiiiir of I'uu .May lie A r ran ged. For a novel pirty the plan is to take characters trom prominent novels for representation. This will give wide scope fororiginahtv, as most of the costumes would have to be designed by the wearers as seemed to them most appioptt ate. In this representation the prominent characteristics and oddities of manner of the subject should be imitated. Only charac ters oi maiKeo prominence or peculiarities should betaken. Be fore the readings from thetvaiious novels are given it would be inter esting to have each person present make out a guess list in which lie will enter the name of the char acter which he decides each one present has chosen. In order to make out the list it will be per missible for hiui to talk to any one whom ho chooses in regard to whose personati n he is in doubt. For instance, if he thinks a cer tain gentleman has chosen I he character of the merchant from Australia in "Cn-sai's Column" he can approach him and ask him how he likes the arrangement of the table service of his hotel, if he does not think the method of ordering his dinner by the use of the numbered electric buttons a great improvement over the old way, and so on. If he has guessed the right chaiacter of course the person addressed will answer his questions and carry on a short I conversation on the subject intro duced. If he has guessed wrong his questions will be unintelligi ble, and he will b.i informed that he has mistaken the person. The time given to tusking out the guess list, which should con tain not only the name of the character personated, but the name of the book from which it is taken and the author, should be limited from h ilf an hour, accord ing to the niimberof guests. After the owner's name is signed ihe lists should be collected and some one appointed to compare the-tn with a correct list. If desired a prize may bo given to the owner of the one which is most complete, given to guessing through tho conversations held with those w hose personations are in doubt. When the guessing is completed a limited number of selections from the various novels should be given, or when of suffi cient interest a sketch of the author's life would be appropriate. This programme could be made to cover two evenings by divid;ng the novels into "standard" and "modern" ami taking one class for each evening. Exchange. What It Meant.

( )ue would think that all the uses or abuses to which greenbacks could be put had been discovered long ago, but a gentleman sitting in the 1 1 oil man house cafe recently created some interest among the crowd present by using a bank note in a rather navel way. He took a $10 bill from his pocket and used it to clean his eye glasses. When asked if there were any particular cleansing pro "Ci ties in paper money, he re plied that he had found great diffi culty in keeping his glasses free from dust, and had used almost everything to clean them. He had finally discovered that a $5 or $10 bill answered the purpose better than anything else. What the cqiccial virtues of the note were he did net know, but prac tical experience had demonstrated that it did the work well and without scratching the glass. Whether a $1 note has similar nudities is not demonstrated, and till that is found out people who are scarce of the larger denomina tions will have to confine them selves to the use of handkerchiefs. New York Recorder. An Indian llrave's Joke. Kruin a Yankton letter to the Springfield Kepiblican. Two young woirien were alone one day, when a young Indian brave whom they knew came to see the man of the house. The man w as away and the Indian sat down to wait tor him. During this interval the girls, lieing of a lively tutn, began asking him questions alwit his former mode of life; among other things they asked hi in to give a war-w hoop and show them how he scalped people, but he made no answer. Some time after when they were talking of other subjects, and had forgotten all about him, he sprang up sud denly, gave a war-whoop that made the housetop ring, then snatching a big knife that lay on the table with one hand, he took the top-knot of one of the girls in the other, and ran the back of the knife around her scalp. They were each scalped in this manner and were nearly out of their wits ; but he sat down and began to laugh and told them he had only done what they had asked him to to do.

The regular monthly report of tne secretary oi the Oregon Immigration Board shows that the prospects for a very large increase of immigration this year, over that of 1890, are exceed ingly good, and the secretary of the board sees no reason to change his estimate, made at the begin ning of the year, of a probable in crease of the population of the state in 18 Jl of 10,000 souls, or e.'en more. Every train into the city is crowded with home-seekers from the East, and of these by far tie largest part are settling in the fei tile valleys of Western Oregon. A few of these come with .ample means, look the country over very thoroughly and engage in busi ness in some one of the thriving towns in the vallevs. Another class comes with barely sufficient means to keep them until they una work, which tney generally succeed doing in remarkably short time. But by far the greatest pro portion of newcomers have suffici ent means to buy a small place or farm, and they lose no time what ever in establishing themselves and families thereon. - TUE WORLD'S FAIR.
