THE GILLIAN REBELLIoN.

Another Defeat of the Government

PARIS, Feb. 1.-THE Gaulois to-day
publishes a despatch from Buenos Ayres
announcing that the Cbillian government
troops have been defeated at Coquimbo
and Quillota, and the insurgent foeces are
rapidly increasing in numbers and are ad-
vancing on the capital, Santiago de Chilli
Only few towns remain loyal to the gov
| eminent. The destruction to the railroads
by the insurgent forces hampers the move
ments of the government troops. Presi-
dent Balmaceda is well supported in the
| capital and is said to be hopeful of being
| able to repel the rebels. 1t is feared that
the effect of the rebellion will be disastrous
to the finances and commerce of the coun-
| try.
During the battle fought at Tarapaca the
| mines were set on fire and were afterwards
| flooded in an attempt to extinguish the
| flames. The German miners who were
employed in the mines there fed into the
| interior. Tarapaca is only ten miles from
| the mouth of river opening into the Pa
| cific ocean, 80 it is inferred that the de-
struction of property at Tarapaca was the

A Chicago Italian Seeking Police
Protection.
CHICAGO, Feb. IA crowd of Italians
came to the Office of the chief of police
last night to ask for protection for one of
their number, Joseph Gazzolo, who had,
they said, been condemned to death by

stand on Madison street. Several months
ago he was notified by the proprietor of
the property that he must leave within a
certain time. He then sold the stand to
Gillio Perditta, representing to the latter
that he had years lease. Perditta soon
found out the fraudulent nature of the
transaction.
Gazzolo has been absent from the city
for some time. Since his return a week
ago, he has received three mysterious no.
tices, written in red, notifying him that he
had been tried by the Tribunal, land I'M
less he made amends, for the swindle within
given time his life would be taken. "
These missives were signed stMafia." Gaz-
zolo is afraid to stir out of the house un.

working girl, who attempted to dodge
under the nose of an ugly horse, fell
fiat in the mud. She picked herself up
and reached the sidewalk, and stood
there for a moment utterly dismayed
and on the point of breaking down.
There, don't you feel bad about it?"
said a driver, who got down off his
seat and used his coat-tail to wipe off
some of the mud. "There are 10, 600
girls in this town who'd be glad to
tumble in the mud every day for a week
to be as purity as you are"

tears, with a laugh, said she wasn't

up the street in such a jaunty way that
a dozen men clapped their hands in
applause. en-, Quad.
