BECOMING SERIOUS IN CHILL.
Persecution and Arrest Of American
Citizens by the Junta.

Washington, Sept. %. For two hours
this morning the President was in con-
sultation with the representatives of the
state and navy departments. Secretary
Tracy, who arrived in Washington las,
night, nearly week before the date
fixed for his return from the North,
came to the White House early in the
day. He was joined there by Acting
Secretary Wharton, Of the department
of state, and Gen. John w. Foster, and
later by Commodore Ramsey, chief OF
the navigation bureau, who had been
summoned for the, purpose.
While no official information upon
the subject can be obtained, there is
reason to believe that the administration
is confronted with serious and perhaps
threatening aspect of affairs in Chill.
Since last Friday .cablegrams couched
in cipher have: been passing between
Washington and Valparaiso. The Of
ticials of the state and navy departments
through whose hands these cablegrams
have passed, refuse to makei their COD
tents public. 1t is gathered, however,
that they relate to affairs in Chilli, and
that serious complications. have arisen
between the Junta and the United
States representatives in that country.
At present, the United States naval
force in Chill consists of one vessel-the
cruiser Baltimore-commanded by
Capt. Schley. The San Francisco
touched Callao, Peru, last week on her
way northward, with Admiral Brown in
command. An effort was made by the
navy department to communicate with
her, but she sailed for Acapulco, Mex,
Friday before the cablegram reached
her. Her bottom is very foul and the
vessel would be almost unserviceabl BILE
unless locked and cleaned. There are
no other modern vessels on the Pacific
side that could be dispatched to Chill
and it is assumed that Commodore
Ramsey was called into the consultation
by the President for the purpose Of ex-
planning the exact extent of the re-
sources Of the navy department.
E. G.. PAIL of New Ulm, ex.candi-

Democratic ticket, was in the city last
evening, attending the Koerner celebra-

Congressman Lind's retirement, Mr..
PAIL said that Daniel Buck of Manka-
to would be the next congressman from
that district.-Pioneer Press of Thurs

= A destructive blaze visited the village
of Kasota Thursday. The FIRE started
under the platform of the eating house
and crept along unseen until it reached
the depot. There it burst out in mass
of flames and in almost no time the old
frame eating house, depot, express Of
fee and baggage house were in ashes.
The hotel of Mrs. Laumann, just across
the Omaha tracks, was also burned. An
eye witness to the fire says that thous-
ands of rats left the old shells upon the
advance of the flames and headed for
the village. Not one, he says, went in
the direction of Mankato or the river.
Deeming marriage failure evidently
does not belong to the Linden people,
as one couple after another still contin-
ne to enter the conjugal yoke. Even
