Lack of Arms is the Weak Point of
the RevOlutionists.
Balmaceda'a Army Kept Up by Forced
Conscriptions-Terr Cruelties
Practiced by the Tyrant.
Associated Press Dispatches.

IouIoUE, June 22.-The United States
flagship San Francisco returned to
port today and will leave for the south
tomorrow. Men are steadily joining the
congressional army. Many volunteer to
serve without pay, 1t is expected that
the congressional army will soon assume
the offensive.
NEW YORK, June 22.-Three gentle
men, recently arrived from Chile, told a
story today about the conduct of affairs
in that country, which would seem to
indicate that the term tyrant is well ap-
piled to Balmaceda. They tell of all
sorts of indignities heaped by his order
upon people whom he suspects are not
wholly in sympathy with him. Having
their houses marked with paint, and
subjecting such houses to search and
pillage by his soldiers at any time, is
one of his methods OF persecution.
Men who are pressed into military
service are horribly punished ii insub-
ordinate. One unfortunate who had
been heard to say he would work his
hands off for the revolutionists was ar
rested, his fingers pounded into jelly
with mallet, and he was then told to
go and work with his hands for the rev.
olutionists.
The weak point with the revolutionists
is lack of arms and ammunition. They
have about 5000 men fully armed and
equipped. Could the necessary muni-
tions OF war be obtained, the number
would be at once increased to over 10,-
000 Several thousand men are only
waiting for equipment to take up the
march against the government party.
Balmaceda's army consists of $4,000
men we'll equipped. OF these only 5000
are of the old army, the remainder be-
ing recruits forced into service. These
men are brought in from the provinces
in patches of twenty-five TO fifty hand
cuffed together and guarded like Si-
berian exiles. They are put into the
ranks and compelled to serve.
The gentlemen said Don Pedro Montt
is on his way to this country to try to
induce the United States to recognize
the revolutionists as belligerents.
A rumor is current in this city that
the European agents OF the revolution
lists have paid the remainder Of the con-
tract money due ON two cruisers just
finished for the Chilean government,
and have loaded and dispatched these
vessels to Chile. where they will fight
against Balmaceda. Ii this is true, it
will be the hardest blow against him yet
struck

AN 1MpoRrANr DECISION.

The New County Government Law De-
clared Constitutional.
SAN Francisco, June 22.-The SUI
preme court has decided that the county
government act passed by the last legis-
lature is constitutional. The decision
was rendered today in the case of the
sheriff of Mono county against the au-
ditor. The new bill materially reduces
the sheriff's compensation and he
brought suit on the grounds that the act
classifying every county in the state
was piece of special legislation and un-
constitutional, and that he was entitled
to the compensation provided for in the
old law. The decision is important as
many other county officers besides the
sheriff Of Mono have been affected by it.

JAY GOULD ON SILVER.
He Has All the White Metal Coin He
Wants.

New York June 22.-The Tribune has
been interviewing New York fnanciers
upon the effect of the coming of silver
under section 5 of the silver bill, which
becomes operative July 1st. Jay Gould
said: 81 think it would be very unfor-
tunate to enlarge the volume of
silver money just at this time:
We have superabundance of
silver as we stand, and | think
if nothing more is done that we can
about maintain the parity between sill
yer and gold. / should be afraid, if we
went any further, that it might be the
last straw that would break the camel's
back. OF course am very anxious, as
we produce SO much silver, to see it
maintained at high standard, but we
have got to take into account the other
great financial nations OF the world and
no one can afford to bear the whole
bonus"

A FIGHT FOR LIFE.
SHALL WE DRIVE SLOW POISON FROM
oUA BREAKFAST TABLE?

Alum and Ammonia in our Bread.
A nuisance that troubled England
fifty years ago is now rapidly spread
ing in this country, that is putting
Alum in the bread we eat. This ques-
ton is causing great deal of discus.
sion at the present moment, as it is
revealed that alum is being used as
substitute for cream of tartar in
baking powders. A story is told that
very large percentage of the baking
powders sold on the market contain
either alum or ammonia, and many of
them contain both these pernicious
drugs. Much timely alarm is felt at
the wholesale use of alum in bread,
biscuit and pastry. To young chill
dren, growing girls, persons of weakly
frame, alum bread eaten morning,
noon and evening is the most harm
full. It is the small quantities taken
at every meal that do the mischief.
Alum Is cheap, costing but two or
three cents pound, while cream Of
tartar costs 80 cents, ard the high
price of cream Of tartar has led cheap
baking powder to be made of alum.
II the reader wants to know some
thing of the corrosive qualities of
alum let him touch a piece to his
tongue then reflect how it acts on
the tender delicate coats of the stom
ach.
Following is list compiled by the
Scientific american, of the alum and
