status of Reciprocity Negotiations.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. I6.--It is understood that the reciprocity negoti- tiations with the sugar-producing colo nies of Great Britain in the West Indies, authorized by section 3 of the McKin- ley bill, have reached a satisfactory conclusion in every case except that of Jamaica. The conventions agreed upon involve the interests of Trinidad and Barbadoes, together with those of Dem- erara, in British Guiana.
 In the case of Jamaica, it is believed that the only difficulty in the way of reaching an agreement is presented by the amount of revenue which that col ony is asked to relinquish and which its representatives here are understood to declare it is impossible to sacrifice with out impairing the credit of the colony, which is pledged to secure the railway bonds guaranteed by the government and held to large extent in this coun- fry

STORM IN THE WEST.
LIVES LOST AND PROPERTY
 DESTROYED.
Southern California Visited by a Most Disastrous Wind storm---Many Build
 ings Wrecked.

Los ANGELES, Cal, Dec. 15.-One of the most destructive windstorm expcri- enced in this section in years visited Los Angeles and vicinity Thursday night and early Friday morning, reach- iny its climax at o'clock Friday, when the wind blew twenty-eight miles an hour. It's severity seems to have been greatest at Pasadena and in the San Gabriel valley. So far as reported but two persons were killed, Mrs. Brown, who lived near Glendale and who was burned to death, and A. c. Taber, at Norwalk.
 In Los Angeles the damage was nom- inal. Pasadena, however, was less fortunate. Reports from that place an- nounce the wreck of several churches and the destruction of many barns.
 Destruction to orange orchards is re- ported as heavy. In exposed places all the fruit was blown off. First reports of loss are probably congregations, but it is evident from the damage done to buildings that the loss of fruit will be large.
 All wires on the line of the Santa Fe are down except single wire east via Barstow. Reports made by passengers coming in are that number of buildings along the line are blown down and much fruit blown from the trees.
 In Verdugo canyon and the Glendale section the storm was the widest ever known. Mrs. Brown, living in small house on Verdugo road, met with hor- the wind some time during the night and collapsed. Mrs. Brown was caught in the timbers. As soon as the building fell it caught fire and the poor woman was burned to death. The body was burned to crisp.
 The storm was terrible up in the San Francisco valley. The old mission at San Fernando was shaken up as it never was before. Great chunks of adobe walls weighing tons were hurled about. Big timbers, placed in posi- ton in the misty past, were sud denly dragged from their resting places and tossed about.
 At Burbank the Presbyterian church was wrecked. Here and there along the Los Angeles river section barns and fences were wrecked At Los Feliz Chinaman was caught under a flying roof and badly injured. Another China man was struck on the head by falling timbers.
 It is .,eported that the old mission church at San Gabriel was badly dam aged by the gale and that part of the adobe wall where the bells hang was demolished. The storm in that section of the valley was very severe. A num- Der of houses in town were damaged. Old orange orchards suffered severely, big trees being broken by the force of the gale. Considerable damage was done at Garvanza and other places in that vicinity. Reports from all points as far as San Bernardino indicate that the storm was general.

IT WILL BE A FARCE.
RuMoRS ANENT THE INVEST
 IGATION IN CHILE.
America Expected to Re Satisfied with c Report Exonerating the vaipar-
 also Authorities

yArpARArso, Dec. 16.-Judge of Crimes Foster is said to be preparing his finding in the case of the Baltimore sailors. No public statement has been made about it, but it is reported that 1t will exculpate the Chilean police, charge the Americans with having provoked the encounter through drunkenness, and impose nominal penalties on few insignificant Chileans arrested in con nection with the affray. Chileans here assume in advance that the result will be satisfactory to the United States.
 The hostile feeling toward America is hard to overcome. The English have been instrumental in causing this animosity to increase. They do it to obtain commercial advantages. Every time an opportunity arrives to increase the ill-feeling they make the most of it. They think Americans are afraid of them and will not fight Public sentiment is in favor of annoying and harassing the American people, and the Chileans think the United States is afraid to fight them. Undoubtedly one thing which encourages this idea is that they count upon sentiments ex- pressed by European residents of Chile as the sentiments of their governments to the effect that protec- ton will be given them against any attack on the part of the United States. They laugh at the American navy, as well they may, as far as the Baltimore, San Francisco, and Charleston are con- cerned. Supposing the Chilean vessels, Almirante Coehrane and Esmeraida, to be manned by men equally competent with those of the American vessels, no intelligent man who knows the vessels can doubt but that in less than half an hours action the Americans would be sent beneath the waves. The opinion of foreign naval men in Chilean waters is that although the finish of these American vessels displays great skill and good taste they are not remarkable as warships and are looked upon as '.large iron pots.
 Jorge Montt is a supercilious, con- ceited naval Captain, who has never been recognized as possessing either bravery or any other meritorious quail fication. He was placed in position purely by precedent. In the first place he is a descendant of the famous Presi dent Montt of Montt-Varista fame. For this reason the leaders of the insurgents have full confidence in his rem inning true to their cause. After sounding other more notable and competent naval commanders they selected him to betray the navy under promise of making him their leader, although he, in fact, has always been since the out break what he is today simply the mouth-piece through whom the real leaders of the party speak.

Chancellor von Copriyi Talks of the Re
 monetization of Silver.
 BERLIN, Dee. 15.-In the debate on the new commercial treaties in the reichstag, Freihecr Marschall von Bieb- erstein, Imperial Minister for foreign affairs, defended the government against the attacks of the agrarian party. The protective tariff, he de- clared, must be moderate or they could not continue.
 Herr Kardorff said that the reich sparti would give approval to the trea- ties only on condition that steps be taken to remonetize silver.
 Chancellor von Caprivi responded to this demand from the reichsparti. He stated that war was inevitable. With reference to the remonetization of silver the chancellor declared that this would be impossible without the adhesion of England. He concluded his reply by emphatieally declaring that he would not accept any proposal fixing the du- ration of the treaties at less than twelve years.
