OUR NAVAL STRENGTH.
More Than Enough Ships Available to
Subdue Chile.

More Than Enough Ships Available to
Subdue Chile.
New YORK, Oct. 29.-Captain Erben,
of the navy yard, has made this state :
ment;
''Itis the opinion at the yard tn at the
trouble between our government and
Chile will not go so far as to necessitate
the sending to Valparaiso of cruisers.
Nothing official has been received here
relative to the course of the govern
ment. In case it should become neces
sary to send part of the navy to South
America, not more than four ships
would be necessary to carry on opera
tions against Chile. There are not more
than three or four war ships in its navy
which could offer resistance to our cruis-
ers. 1t is hardly probable that England,
Germany or any OF the great powers OF
Europe would interfere between the Uni
ted States and Chile. Should war result,
and ii it should be considered necessary
to send our navy to the South Pacific,
there would be need OF holding back war
ships to protect the coast in anticipation
of trouble with European governments.
So far as Germany is concerned, the
admiral of her navy has stated that he
believed the treatment OF the American
sailors was an outrage and the United
States government had right to repara-
ton. England, however great may be
it's commercial and financial interests in
Chile, will never take sides against the
United States in trouble arising from the
recent outrage.
'To get the cruisers and other vessels
| now here in condition for a voyage
would take but few days. The ships
now at the Brooklyn navy yard are the
Philadelphia, Atlanta, Vermont, Con
cord, Bennington, Miantonomah, Ter
ror, Petrol and Chicago. The Bos-
ton has left for the South Pacific
station, and the Yorktown is on the way
there. The Newark is at Boston and
ready for sailing orders. The Charles
ton, the flagship of the Asiatic station.
is in China. The Vesuvius is expected
here from Washington in a day or two.

STEAMBOAT DISASTER.
FINE MISSISSIPPI RIVER BOAT
BURNED.
Thirteen Lives Known to Have Been Lost
and the Number May Reach Twenty.
Negro Roustdabouts Thought to Have
Fired the Vessel.

VIcKsBURG, Miss, Oct. 29.-By the
burning of the fine steamer Oliver
Bierne, at Milliken's Bend landing at
an early hour this morning, thirteen
lives are known to have been lost, and
it is feared more. The boat was laid up
at the landing. A number of cabin
passengers and over 200 "deckiess"
white men en- route to various leyee
works were aboard. There was lot of
cotton to be loaded at the landing, and
the mate had trouble with the rousta-
bouts and number of them quit work,
after which the mate hired white men.
This enraged the negroes, who made
open threats against the mate and the
boat.
At 80 this morning the cotton in
the deck room was discovered on fire,
and in short time the entire boat
was in mass of flames. The
passengers were aroused and everything
possible was done to avert loss
of life, but thirteen persons are known
to have perished, and it is feared several
Of the unknown deck passengers lost
their lives. Most of those rescued
had to jump into the river
where they were picked up
by yawl. The fire spread with such
rapidity that they could get off the boat
in no other way. The passengers lost
everything. The survivors of the disas-
ter were shown every kindness by the
citizens OF Milken's bend.
The list OF lost reported by Captain
ThorWegen, is: Two children of DR..
Worrell of Baton Rouge; Sam V. En-
triken; two chamber maids; daughter
OF Mr.. Adams, of Omaha; five cabin
! BOYS; a nurse of Mrs. Frazier. OF Nat
chez; Mrs. Woolidge, of New Orleans.
1t is extremely probable that num-
Der of the "deckies" were lost.
A skif reached here from Duckport
this evening, bearing the body OF an
old white lady which was found
clinging to bale OF cotton
floating down the river this morning.
Nothing was found on the person to
identity her. 1t is thought when mat
ters are fully settled, it will be found
that no less than twenty lives were lost.
Several employees of the boat who ex-
erted themselves to save passengers
were painfully burned. Some OF the
lady passengers are in a critical condl-
tion from fright and injuries received.
The boat had over 700 bales OF cotton on

Associated Press Dispatches.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 29.-The canned
goods and dried fruit shippers have re-
ceived another set back in their hopes
for reduction of freight rates. A tele-
gram was received here today, stating
that the action of the Transcontinental
association, reducing the rates to 81 for
canned goods, and $1.40 for dried fruits,
had been negatived. This means that
two members of the association who
were not present at the meeting which
reduced the rates, will not agree to their
being put into effect.
The executive committee of the Cali
fornia traffic association met today and
elected F. L. Castle first vice-president,
Barry Baldwin second vice-president,
and Isaac Upham treasurer. ]. B. Stet-
son, president of the association, is also
president of the executive committee.
The constitution and bylaws were dis
cussed, and an address, outlining the
policy OF the organization, was prepared.
The association will be organized on the
lines of the Chicago freight bureau,
modified to suit the conditions in Cali

BRITISH COMMENT.

terest in England.

Developments watched With Great In
terest in England.
LONDON, Oct 29.--The Times. speak
ing Of Chile, regards the American de-
liverances as talk, intended to influence
the coming elections, and says after
Tuesday a settlement will probably be
found satisfactory to both parties. 1t
says Mr.. Blaine's aims to form zollver-
Elm with South America are not likely
to be promoted by threats, still less by
an actual declaration of war.
The Post, after remarking that the
naval inferiority of the United States
will make it difficult for her to coerce
Chile, expresses the hope that both
parties will modify their attitude before
proceeding to hostilities.
The Post enters into an elaborate
argument, quoting from authorities on
international law, and giving practical
instances to prove the invalidity of
Minister EganlssNiewsg the extra ter
ritoriality of the United States legation,
and concludes: 'tThe whole question is
so important that the action of the
United States will be awaited with
interest everywhere, and not with
anxiety at the prospect of a confusing
revolution of international questions.
The Telegraph, referring to the
Chilean imbroglio, says: President
Harrison was perfectly justified in what
he did. Doubtless Minister Egan's ap-
pointment has turned out to be the
worst that could have been
made. His action was a notori-
GUS violation of the obligations
of neutrality, but there is no reason in
the world why the Chileans should
adopt defiant attitude. If they refuse
to make an investigation and punish
the guilty persons, they are acting under
the impulse of insensate pride. 1t will
be necessary for the United States
doubtless sorely against her will-to
give them salutary lesson"
The Chronicle thinks the affair hardly
matter for war, or even the mobilizing
of the United States navy. 1t says
Chile will doubtless find it more
prudent to apologize, punish the assail-
ants of the American sailors. and pay
compensation, rather than risk her iron
clads in an encounter with the United
States.

the Pacific coast, and the Baltimore is
at Valparaiso.
"The heavily armored double turreted
monitor Miantonomah was put into
commission Monday noon, and is fear
ful antagonist for any warship. She
carries four sixteen-inch guns, SIX two
Founders, two three-pounders, two ma
chine guns and two gatling guns, and is
ready to leave on notice.
"The cruisers of the first-class have
twin screws, and can make the fastest
time. They are the Chicago, Balti-
more, Philadelphia, Newark and San
Francisco.
"This tremendous navy force in full
condition could be assembled against
Chile in a little over a month, but would
find no vessel approaching them in
power along the whole Pacific coast
within that time. At no time recently
has our navy been in position to place
so many of its best warships at the front
in so short time. Said a naval officer
the other day: We should not need
troops in Chile, for our war vessels, with
their complement of marines and sailors,
would be ample for the purpose of sub
jugating Chile, should it ever come to
that point, which / very much doubt. Z"

The ChiIenos NOurish Grudge With
Undying Hatred.
TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. 29.-Ex-Governor
Osborne, minister to Chile under Presi-
dent Hayes, is very guarded in his
remarks concerning the present strained
diplomatic relations between this gov
ernment and Chile. "You may say"
said he to reporter, "that regard the
strained relations as very unfortunate at
this time. The Chileans are very
sensitive people and treasure malice. If
it should become necessary for the
United States government TO humili-
ate them, it would require CEN
tury to restore the amicable
relations which existed prior to the Bal
maceda revolution. About the close of
the war Chile and Peru were in a diff
Guilty, and Spain sent fleet which bonn
barded Valparaiso. Spanish cannon
balls are yet imbedded in the custom
house, and the Chilean government will
not allow them removed. The youth of
the county all know the story, and the
cannon balls serve as constant re-
minder that their hatred toward the
Spanish government must not be suf-
fered to decrease.

shipping men and by those interested in
the Chilean situation this morning. The
whole topic of conversation and specu-
lation is what this country would do in
the event of war with Chile. Most of
them are inclined to scof at the idea Of
her going in the face of the United
States, but the feeling prevails widely
that the Chileans are preparing to
fight.
ness firms, who have business relations
with Chile, were called upon this morn
ing with the view of ascertaining the
feeling in respect to a possible outbreak
of hostilities between the United States
and Chile.
"We have received no advices what
ever from our correspondent in Val
paraiso in regard to this affair."" said
Charles R. Flint, "and so long as the
matter is under diplomatic negotiation,
l do not think any serious consequences
need be apprehended."
At the Office OF Grace & Co. it was
said the trouble will no doubt be settled
in few days.

He was released on $1,000 BAIL.
