New York, April 3.-In letter to the
Tribune, r. l.. Trumbull, member of the
Chilean House of Deputies, states that tho
dispatches from Chile this morning are
misleading. He adds: II have no doubt
that President Balmaceda is very anxious
TO withdraw and join his family i'll Eu-
rope, for after the ruin which he has
brought upon his country it is rot likely
that he cares TO remain i'll it. His offer
to withdraw ON condition that he is
allowed TO designate his successor in it
self condemns the man, and should DO
sufficient proof to all the world of the
justice of tho Chilean revolution, for it
is against this abomination of one-man
power that the people are fighting The
citizens of Chile are not as subseryient as
Ralmaceda thinks, and they will not sub
nit to his dictatorship"
The dispatch received by Messrs. Flint
& Co. TO the effect that the Liberal party,
which supports the Government, has
elected more than two-thirds of Congress,
would have been more exact if il had
stated the Congress elected was unani-
mously i'll favor of the dictation, and that
not single candidate of the opposition
had been elected, for this is a fact-there
was no opposition. The country is under
martial law, and no election could under
such circumstances be free. The people
have taken no part in the election, and the
dictator has simply designated the repre-
sentatlveS of the people in the same way
that he intimates his willingness to desig-
nate his own successor.

NEW ORLEANS TRAGEDY.
The Grand Jury Finds Three Indict-
InentS for Bribery

y
ments for Bribery
NEW ORLEANS, April 3.-The Grand
Jury has found three indictments in
blank, two against Seligman and Borsen.
for bribery, and three against O'Malley
for conspiring to bribe. Seligman is in
Cincinnati, Borsen is here and O'Malley's
whereabouts is mystery, though it is
understood he is at Pass Christian. Miss.
on the lake shore, within 100 miles OF
New Orleans.
LATER Dominick c. O'Malley, the
notorious detective, charged with having
attempted to pack the jury in the Hen
messy case, and who mysteriously disap-
peared, created a sensation this morning
by surrendering himself He was adj.
mltted to bail. O'Malley looks well,
though rather pale. He says he will
make statement. He would not tell
whether he left the city or not A friend
OF his says he has been here all the time.
@aO'Alalley said that when he got ready
to give his statement it would contain
many surprising disclosures, and cause
number of people now joining in the
cry against him to hide. The Italians
killed in the parish prison were innocent,
and the people made mistake for which
he hoped they would properly apologize
to the widows and orphans hereafter.
OMalley said the talk about suborning
witnesses and bribing jurors is untrue.
He never approached any witnesses or
jurors, and the truth of his statement
would be made apparent in good time.
1t is said the Citizens Committee of
fifty held conference tonight with ref
erence to OMalley's return, and decided
not to modest him, allowing the law to
take It's course, and the courts to try him
upon the charges preferred.

Strike Reported Among the Newcastle
Miners.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 3.-Telegrams
have been received at the office of the
Oregon Improvement Company in this
city stating that strike has occurred
among the men employed in the New
castle mine, which is situated about
twenty miles east of Seattle. This will
throw between 400 and 500 men out OF
work

The mine is owned by the Seattle Coal
and Iron Company.
II Is now an open question what effect
shese occurrences will have on the local
market. One prominent dealer on East
street said that he did not think the local
market would be at all affected, as the re-
ceipts from that locality would not aver
age more than 10000 or 1900 tons per
month, and there was any amount of coal
here now and on the way to supply the

ENGLAND AND VENEZUELA.

Ill-Feeling Resulting From Murder
on the Latter's Border.
PANAMA (via New York;, April S..-The
old boundary question between Vene-
zuela and England and the ill-feeling re-
sulting therefrom, resulted in murder
last month. William Campbell a British
grant-holder on the Barima, went TO visit
a friend on the Venezuelan side OF the
Anacooroo River. Three Venezuelan
policeman went to arrest him, and not
withstanding he offered no resistance
one of them shot him in the right hand,
shattering it badly. He was soon re-
leased, no charge of any kind being pre-
ferred against him. He died in a couple
of weeks from blood-poisoning, induced
by neglect of the wound while he was in
charge of the Venezuelan police.
This affair has aroused bitter feeling
against the Venezuelans among the Brit
lsh, and the Dem0TdT0 -1rgoSy prints Il
long article demanding that the Governor
insist on a trial OF the murderers, and in
Inmates to the Admiral of the station that
the services OF gunboat may be neces-
sary.
The article says: 1--WE are not con-
founding the Venezuelan Government
with the rough men who represent them
at Anacooroo, but if that Government
should be unwise enough to stand be-
tween the murderers and the fate they
have courted, our country should not
hesitate in resorting to action worthy of

a report prevailed in political clubs to-
night that Lord Salisbury, on the instiga-
ton of Rudini, would offer to mediate for
the adjustment of the difference between
Italy and the United States. A high

that communication had been sent Sir

NEW YORK NOT IN DANGER
PHILADELPHIA, April 3.-Charles H.
Cramp, head of the great ship building
firm, says New York is in no danger
from Italian ironclads. ''They will never
come over here" he said confidently.
In the first place they can't carry coal
enough to make such voyage safe, and
they could find no place here to re-coal.
Then their great draught would make it
impossible for them to do much damage
on this side. They are not familiar with
our coast and would be in constant
danger of grounding the moment
they came at all near the coast
They carry very heavy guns, but, except
for firing on the city, these guns are not
effectlve much over one mile, and the
new cruisers recently constructed could
be very effective by circling about the
monsters, peppering them with long
range rif1ed cannon, and drawing them
into shallow water. If shot from one
of the ironclads struck one of our cruisers
1T would, of course, do considerable dam
age; but, except by chance, it is doubtful
if, at such a distance, any gunner in the
Italian navy could hit such a small object
as vessel going at the rate of fifteen to
twenty knots an hour. Shallow water
and the great draught of the ironclads
make it practically impossible to success
fully lombard New York. The Vesuyius
is the only dynamite cruiser in the world.
and if she should drop one of her dyna-
mite shells aboard the Italian ironclad all
danger from the latter would be over"
