ARRIVAL OF THE YORKTO WIN.

Joyful]y Greeted by the BaitimDra's Crew
In Chilian Waters.
VALPARAISO, Dec. 1.-The United States
steamer Yorktown arrived here yesterday.
Her officer and crew received royal vel
come from the 8Baltimore's sailors. which
will i'll all probability leave for the north
for repairs. Tie intendente Of Valparaiso
has requested Capt. Schley, Of the Balti-
more. to furnish the evidence Of the Batti-
more's surgeons in regard to the nature y s Sof y
Boatswains Mate Higgins wounds, TO aid
determining whether they were oAnsed by a
pistolNo or rifle bullet. Rifles are carried BY
the Chilian police and the Chilian$ doctor
who attended higgins swears his death was
caused by a revolver bullet. Notwith ithstaDd-
ing this there is silent witness to the con-
trary in the hole made in the shirt and
necktie of the Baltinore's sailor who WAS
holding higgins in his arms after he had
been stabbed. This hole was made BY a
rifle bullet of a forty-two caliber rifle and
proves conclusively that the shot Was fired
BY the police. This is sustained by the evil
dence of the 15nltimoTe's surgeon, who
measured the bullet wound.
The orrespond ent furth her says: In the
course of i cor iIlVersation with Bfitish Ef lin
| lister Kennedy to-day hessaid to me that he
regretted the attacks made in some Of the
Chilian papers, and by Thompson in the

Egan. Kennedy added that when Minister
Egan's conduct became thoroughly under
stood the opinion OF the world would be
considerably altered in regard to it. Z
Thompson since his arrival has at
tackled Egan on the strength Of information
received from irresponsible sources. He
might have received reliable information
bv calling on Minister Kennedy, but he
never took that trouble.''
A Chilian official said to-day that his
government has no intention of making an
apology or paying an indemnity, as suggested
by the United States. The attitude OF the
whole government is still defiant. No
steps have yet been taken to cut down the

Shameful Disregard OF Duty by California
Peace Officers.
BR1paEpoRT, Cal. Dec. j. ~ The grand
jury has rendered a lengthy report Of the
investigation of the death Of All Quong
Tia, the Chinaman who was tortured and
cut to pieces by Indians. All Quong Tia
was charged by the coroner's jury with the
murder of Poker Tom, an Indian found
cut to pieces. The report says the jastice
of the peace discharged All Quong from
custody, the evidence not being sufficient
to hold him, and the prosecuting attorney
did not object when counsel for defense
moved for dismissal against defendants
wish, we'll knowing that his client would be
murdered if left unprotected The report
finds that when the defendant was dis
charged the court refused to give him pro-
lection, but left the courr room and an
nounced the result of the examination on
the street. Three OF four Indians seized
Ali Quong and cut him to pieces. Tho
sheriff had positive knowledge Of what was
about to occur, but refused to protect the
victim unless paid. The In dians were ell
couragad and abetted by some citizens of
the town. The report concludes that the
peace officers utterly fniled in their duty,
ana have thereby caused a cloud OF shame
and disgrace to hang over our people. The
action of the deputy district attorney is
also severely condemned. All Quonp was
horn in California and consequently a
citizen Of the United States.

the entire democratic delegation from New

assurances of four votes from New England.
Mills is sanQuine that the forces are work

himself rs entirely confident. The Mills

a unit and they say they expect All votes
from that section except two. This claim,
however, is not conceded by other candi-
dates, nor is Crisp's claim TO New Jersey
conceded. McMillin said to-day that he
saw no reason to change his opinion that
the fight would be long one, IN which case
his strength would increase, and that he
