North Atlantic squadron. now almost ready
to sail. Admiral GherardI has unotficially
suggested to the Navy Department that he
be ordered to sail for Valparaiso at once
with the Philadelphia and the Concord. 1t
seems probable that his suggestion Will be
acted upon. though no orders have yet
been issued.
The presence of the United States fleet
would probably bring to Valparaiso
large fleet OF vessels of the British navy.
British interests IN Chin are large. and 1t
is assumed that any demonstration by the
United States would be watched with con-
Germ by the British feet. and that if q de-
termination TO shell the city was reached
by this government the lives and property
of the subjects of Great Britain would
have to be considered. The suggestion of
British Intervention 10 not likely, however.
to deter the United States from following
O course that will compel respect for our
flag and an expression of regret for taking
the lives of men wearing the uniform OF
the United States. If Great Britain IS in
fuential in Chilli it is believed that it's
power could be exercised benehcially to
bring the ChiliaD authorities TO their
senses. The government cannot take any
immediate action ut Valparaiso to enforce
it's demand. The Baltimore alone would
not be equal to the task of compelling
Chill to make O speedy and satisfactory
answer. Several weeks must pass before
the fleet can be greatly increased. Inc
interim may be- used to reach an amicable
settlement, and it Is posi- bic that 1t Will
be employed by Chilli in reparation for sus-
tanning it's attitude of defiance and up
parent hostility.

from all responsibility as to their arrest.
As these papers had TO be signed as being
one of the stipulatIons for the release of
the blue Jackets. the men naturally did as
they were requested. Another point which
is not serving to allay the i'll feeling exist
ing is the fact that no courtesy of any kind
was shown to the United States naval off,

al of Turnbull, the second man of the Bal

mated.

HE CHALLENGED GARCIA.
And Then Straightway Had to Take Flight to
Avoid that Tyrant's Fiery Hate.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Oct. 30.-A letter
from one OF the federal officials at Rio
Grande City. Tex. says that First Lieuten-
ant Bazan. fiery young officer of the Mex
lean army. has deserted to this side. Some
weeks ago his brother was caught by Gar
cia's soldiers and shot as a suspected revo-
lutionist. Lieutenant Bazan, on hearing of
the assassination. sent challenge to Gen.
Garcia. Learning that his life was in dan
ger. and that his execution only awaited
the order of arrest issued by Garcia, Lieut..
Bazan deserted 20 Texas, after bidding
farewell to the company that had served
under him. Evidence continues to accumu-
late that the men executed by Garcia were
not guilty of the offense for which they
died. and that some of them were entitled
to the protection of the stars and stripes by
reason of having formally declared inten-
tions of becoming American citizens. Re-
ports are received of other like executions
which are studIously concealed by the
Mexican military. Men without passes in
to the country issued by Mexican consuls
are vigorously dealt with, and travelling
overland hey ond the ranches near the Rio
Grande banks is stopped, and no crossin is
allowed except at licensed ferries, these be-
ing few and far between.

edge that they are in the wrong. Any

TRADE:
A WONDERFUL FIND.
Money Discovered by Well-BOrers Over Hun
dred Feet Below the Surface.

HELENA, Ark, Oct. 30-A most remarka-
BILE find is reported from the little town OF
Laconia. about twenty-five miles south of
this city. A we'll was being drilled on o
farm at the edge of the town. and when
they had gone to the depth of 125 feet the
drillers reported that they were In some
peculiar substance which was hard. yet
it was not rocks. They examined the
drillings, and said they were passing
through layer of bricks, % nothing else
would give the peculiar appearance to
the drillings AS the drill was ct such
a depth that it was considered impossi-
ble for tricks to be buried they were
laughed at. but the men insisted that bricks
were at the bottom of the well.
AS there were no brick houses IN the
town, and there had never been. it could
of the drillers induced many people to
visit the place, and while quite q crowd
was around the we'll hole the men brought
up to the surface q lot of mud from the bot
from the time they found the brick residue.
In the mass of mud was q small piece OF
metal, which was cleaned OFT, and was
found to be piece of money.
The coin was CctagOnal in shape, and had
hieroglyphics oil it which could not be de-
ciphered. but which evidently were meant
to represent the value OF the piece. 1t was
totally different from anything ever seen
In this neighborhOod, and the piece was
brought to this city, where 1T was shown to
numismatists but all agreed in pronounclpg
it beyond their knowledge.
1t is claimed by sntiquaries here that the
bricks and coins are the relicso of prehistoric
race which lived here many years before
the Indians, and who built the pavements
and roads which were discovered at Mem
phls, on the other side of the river. above
here. The coin will be sent TO the Smith
sonian Institution for examination, but the
owner says it will take large amount of
money TO buy it. as he thinks it is worth q
fortune to some one.

in which a justice of the peace not a

very exact a member of the Philadel-
phia bar could be. Tho lawyer had a
claim put in hi, hends for collection

wrote that unless the check was re-

The justice waited and found the
lawyer had really written the district

the city attorney the justice returned
