The Chilian Revolt Assuming

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.

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.

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

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.

NKW I SK FOR I'AI'EK MONEY
II .Makes a Splendid Cleaner for
Eyeglasses.
( )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. They soon recovered from
the shock and laughed heartily at
i he Indian's joke.

Extra Session of th Wuhlig
ton Legislature.
Portland, May 7. 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.
It Wilt Surpass In Beauty and Mag
nitude the Paris Exposition.
San Francisco, May 7. M. H.
De Young, member of the board
of control of the Columbian expo
sition, returned to San Francisco
yesterday. Iu an extended inter
view respecting the progress made
and the outlook for the world's
fair, he speaks in a most enthusi
astic way, an 1 comparing it with
the Paris exposition, which he at
tended as one of the official repre
sentatives from the United States,
expresses the view that it will sur
pass in magnitude and beauty that
of the French exposition. "The
Paris exposition," he said, "was
the grandest thing ever seen up to
that time, but it will be so far sur
passed that no comparison can be
attempted." After describing the
plans for buildings and for the
beautifying of the exposition
grounds, he declared that when
the people of the United States
once were able to study and com
prehend the scope of the American
exposition, they would join in the
enthusiasm felt by the commis
sioners, and every American at
tending the exposition could not
but have an increased pride in his
nationality and citizenship.
