Places.

1.-The treatment which American citi-
zens receive at the hands of the Chill

ranted. England would not stand it a
week. I know what / am talking

thentic l have been going to and
from Chilli for years, and for the last
year and a half / have resided in Val
paraiso. You will be astounded when

spit in the face of Americans on the
street. 1t is an actual fact Resent it
ard you will be beaten to death by a
mob. You surely can have no concep-

heaped upon your citizens there. Ger

AN LUMINOUS SILENCE
the News From Chili-Important Dis
patches Said to Have Been Received al
the State Department.

Maintained in Official Circles Respecting
the News From Chili-Important Dis
patches Said to Have Been Received at
the State Department.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-An ominous
silence is maintained in official circles
respecting the news from Chilli 1t is
everywhere conceded that important
dispatches have been received from
Minister Egan, but it is impossible to
learn their contents, so close-mouthed
are the officials who are in a position to
know what they are. Chili's provis-
ional government which still has
control of affairs and is respon-
sible for the events lead
ing up to the political condi-
ton of things, has an existence limited
to only about ten days longer, and it is
not believed that this government, I'M
less forced by extraordinary events not
now foreseen or anticipated, will pre-
cipitate crisis with it.
Nothing has recently been received
from Valparaiso, it may confidently be
asserted, indicating any worse treat
ment or more insulting demeanor than
the United States representative and
those under his protection have al
ready previously received and which
has been made public.
The administration. while not dis
posed to rush matters, in view of the
speedy change, is closely watching the
progress of events and making prepare
tions to promptly meet any emergency
which may arise. When the new cab
met is announced there may be for
eign minister who will pursue differ
ent policy from that of the present
minister and with whom satisfactory
settlement may be made without resort
to unpleasant measures. But it is only
fair to say that not much hope exist
that the new government will be any
more practically inclined that the pres
emit one. On the other hand, the feel
ing prevails that Chilli is inclined to be
fractions, and that it will be necessary
for the United States to administer for
chile rebuke

A PHENOMENAL FOG.

| Ore OF the Densest Fogs OF that Foggy
Island-Business Almost Suspended anu
Many Accidents Reported.
LONDON, Dec. 2a-This city is stii.
hidden beneath a fog of phenomena
blackness and thickness For seventy
hours has London, to all intents anu
purposes, been plunged in darkness
| Throughout the day the street lamps
to say nothing of the lights WITHIN
doors, have been alight, and link-ooys
are making small fortunes by plotting

streets by the aid of torches or IAN

Many proprietors of jewely stores
and other such places have shut up their
shutters until the fog clears away
They are doing absolutely no business

entire police force may be said to nave

the seventy hours of black fog. AS TINS"
dispatch is sent, there is no sign OF the
fog lifting, and the city remains COW
cred by the most dense pail OF 1oe
within the recollection of the present
generation of Londoners.
Some faint idea of the density OF the
fog may be gathered from the fact that
several people have been drowned ana
a number of others nearly drowned oy
wandering into rivers and canals after
having lost their way. Eight bodies OF
persons supposed to have been drowned
in this manner have already been re-
covered, and many people are inquirlng
for missing relatives or friends who are
supposed to have met death through
the fog.
At Leeds alone, according to dis
patch from that place, three men walked.
into the canal and were drowned.
AS may be readily imagined the fog
is having a most serious effect on rail-
road traffic, and the result is that all
the mails are behind time by many
hours.
Travelling by train, while the fog
lasts, is both a slow and a dangerous
business, though up to the present no.
serious accident has been reported.
This delay in railroad traffic is caus--
ing great annoyance to that portion OF
the commercial community depending
upon Christmas shopping for profit.
Country visitors fnd the greatest diff
Guilty in coming to London to make
their purchases, and the theaters-
which count upon the country contin-
gent to help fill their seats at this time
of the year are suffering considerable
loss.
