PANAMA, May 1.-THE Star and Herald says:
It appears from Information, which we have
from private sources, that the lombard .nent
lof Pisagua and Mollindo were not acts Of
vandalism, as the Peruvian press and Govern
.ment charges. Agents sent from the Gillian
ships were ordered to advise the authorities TO
consider their part under blockade, and to re-
move the launches in port. When the boats
were within a hundred yards or SO from the
hand hot IRE was poured into
them, killing and wounding several,
which compelled the Chilian force to retire.
Dne body OF soldiers fired from an eminence

late, and over that building upon which the
consular flag was flying and In opposition to
the remonstrances of the English consul,
who represented that the building was oc
cupied by many women and children who had
>aken refuge there. The result OF attack
from behind the consulate ON the boats was,
that when the Chilian fired upon the town,
the first shell went into the building and
killed several women and children. The
affair at Mollendo was also caused
by an attack upon the Gillian
boats. Ths diplomatic corps IN Lima

SHELBYvILLE, Ind. May 26.-About $50
o'clock this morning the community was star
tied at hearing that one Robert Beniowski had
made an effort TO shoot Rev. George L. Curtiss,
minister of the NJ. E. church. The former had
called at Mr.. Curtiss' house at the time men
toned, with a lot of books under his arm, 1t is
supposed to return one he had borrowed. He
acted quite strangely after coming into
the room, by piling the books in the
shape of cross upon the floor.
Suddenly, and without any previous warning,
he drew a revolver and advanced toward
Mr.. Curtiss in threatening manner. The slat-
ter caught the pistol and prevented its dis
charge until assistance arrived, when Ben
jowski was placed under arrest. Being after
ward examined by committee, he was pro-
nounced insane, and confined in Jail to be
taken to the Asylum, at Indianapolis, to-
morrow.
The prisoner is a Pole by birth, and has
resided here some 20 odd years, pursuing the
avocations of druggist and baker most
of the time. He has always
been regarded as an Insane, and at times very
dangerous, man. About eight years ago he
shot and killed man here, but was afterWard
acquitted of the charge of murder, under q
plea of insanity. Many instances are related
his strange conduct while laboring under
temporary alterations of mind, and the safety
of the community long since demanded that
he should be placed In custody. In personal
appearance he is a remarkably fne-looking
man. being over six feet tall, of magnifi-
cent physique, and possessed of great strength.
He is a dangerous man to cross when
n one of his insane moods, and has long been
the terror of his acquaintances, who knew not
what moment he might assault them.

WAsHINGroN, May 26.-The report of an in.
terview with the president regarding the
negro exodus is now said by the presidents
friends to have been erroneous in several par
ticulars. For instance, the interviewer. de-
sired to know definitely whether the president
approved of the proposition to go with char
tered boats and deliver the thousands on the
banks of the river, and it was said last even
ing that he replied he thought the step ought
to be taken as one of justice and humanity.
The presidents Information, 1t now appears,
has not led him to suppose that there are
thousands Of colored people on the banks of
the river waiting for transportation, and he
did not advise chartering or sending steam
boats to carry them away. Mr.. Conway was
the authority for the statement telegraphed
last night.

Another Dishonest Cashier.


81. LOUIS, May 26.-Mr. Dierberger, assignee
of the Broadway Savings bank, has discovered
in the private drawer of j. P. Kfeger, Jr.,
cashier of that institution, papers in the form
of checks, drafts, etc which conclusively show
that Kieger and Meyer A. Goldsoll have been
privately connected in the use OF funds of the
bank, and that Goldsou Is indebted to the
bank about $500, 900, the recovery of which is
very doubtful. Similar papers were found in
Kelger's room, at his fathers residence. where
he lived. To what particular use Keiger and
Goldsou put the money obtained from the
bank, or whether Keiger derived any benefit
from it, does not appear, but that Keiger was
in collusion with Goldsoll, and furnished him
with money without proper security there
can be no question. These transactions have
extended over period of nearly three years
and most of them studiously kept from the
knowledge of the directors.
]. P. Krieger, Jr., forI whom q warrant was
issued Saturday, gave himself up this morn
ing and was put in jail pending procure
nent of bond. He spent Saturday night with
his mistress in town. and Sunday went to the
country and spent the day and last night with
a friend, one of his bondsmen, who persuaded
him to surrender to the authorities. The
meeting of depositors this morning resulted in
nothing definite except the appointment of q
committee to look after their interests and
employ a lawyer.
