RIoTING IN CHILs.

/ PANAMA., August 26.-The Star ,c Herald
says: The excitement in Chill on the re-
ceipt OF the news Of the capture OF the
NmaC was iutOnse. The opposition party
made it the occasion for fierce onslaught
on the Government,in which the populace,
impatient under the inactivity Of the Gov.
ernment, joined with great zeal, and the
most riotogs demonstrations resulted.
Great crowds gathered in the principal
places and shouted "Down with the Minis
ters!" Death to the Araucanian!n A
strong body OF military was called out, and
after time the mob dispersed, only 10 re-
assemble the following night in the Ala.
mada increased in numbers and organized,
Iron seats were used for barricades, and
the soldiers sent TO disperse the crowd
were received with volleys Of stones, bot
ties and some pistol shots. The troops
Cavalry fired three volleys and then
changed, cutting and slashing right and
left, rather with the view Of clearing the
streets than Staying the people. Only
three deaths are reported, but peahaps
one hundred people were more or less Sc.
riously wounded.

will also send all funds necessary to meet

There were Is deaths from yellow fever
here last week, decrease OF II compared
with the previous week. In consequence
Of the unusual violence OF yellow fever
the present summer, AMI the fatality OF
the disease on board vessels which left
thtsl port, the Royal order OF November
18th, 1913, has been revived and will be
enforced. It provides that no vessel car.
rying above 10 persons, including pas
sengers and crew shall leave port without
having physicians. and a clergyman on
board.
Havana was startled by the news that
two insurgent bands had appeared in the
districts Of Halguin and Santiago De
Cuba. Excitement ran high, and the
premium on gold at once rose, but as
general thing the confidence in the main
tenance Of peace remains unbroken. Gen.
Blanco at once dispatched 2,0G0 men from
this city and ordered the most energetic
pursuiCof the disturbers. The insurgent
bands arc remnants Of the old guerrilla
forces, employed by the Spaniards dur
ing the war. These men were paid ono
dollar per day while in the service, and
are disseminated at their discharge.

CAL1FoRNIA ELECTIONS.
A Quiet Election In San Francisco, But
Much Scratching Being Done.

Much Scratching Being Done.
SAN FRAXoEsco. September 3.-The cleo
ton is progressing very quietly. In the
uptown precincts the voting began slowly
south Of Market street. Inthe Working
mems strong districts the voting was live
ly from the opening, the Workingmen gen.
orally voting straight, the Republicans
scratching Murphy, City District Attorney,
and giving Kallock some votes for Mayor,
the Honorable Bilks and Democrats to a
great extent scratching Griswold for Mayor
and substituting Flint, Republican. Glenn
is also scratched in favor Of Perkins. In
that portion OF the city along the water
front, north OF Market street, the voting
has been comparatively brisk during the
morning, and pretty large proportion OF
the registered votes has been cast there,
the Democrats voting the Republican city
tickeSto great extent and frequently
scratching Glenn, while the Workingmen
were voting their straight ticket. The lat
ter was largely represented around the
polls and looking closely after their men.
Everything is quiet thus far.
The polls closed at $50 o'clock. A
Quieter election was never held in this
city. The total vote was a, l,459. Not
more than $500 ballots can be counted be.
fore midnight, and the result In the city
can only be Coniectured.
From all information obtainable the best
opinion seems to be that the Republicans
have carried the bulk OF the city ticket
with the exception OF Mayor. Kallock is
thoughtto be. running ahead Of his ticket,
with the prospect Of plurality. .sTyi i
The Democratic H. B. ticket cuts no
figure. tits thought that the Republicans
have reelected Davis, Congressman in
this district, and that the Republican State
ticket generally Is ahead.
