Associated Press Dispatches.
BUENos AYREs, Jan. 25.--A dispatch
from Chile says the rebels bombarded
Coronel, and that several persons were
killed and wounded. The government
troops are trying to surround the insur-
gents in the Coquimba district.
PARIS, Jan. 25.--Admiral Latorre OF
the Chilean navy, noted as the capturer
OF the Peruvian iron-clad Husscar in the
war between Chile and Peru, has been
sent by President Balmaceda Of Chile to
Europe to supervise the building of war
ships for that country. In an interview
today Admiral Latorre denied that the
Chilean navy had been unfairly treated
as compared with the army in the dis
tribution OF war honors. There was no
animosity, he said, between the army
and navy. The two bodies hardly ever
met, and there was small chance of a
feeling of jealousy to exist between the
officers of the two branches of
the service. The admiral did not
know why the navy should head the
revolution in Chile except that the
chivalrous notions Of the officers might
make them readiest to respond to an ap.
peal for revolution. The naval officers,
he said. must have acted on generous
impulse. Being far from the immediate
center of affairs, they must have been
carried away more by sentiment than
by any real knowledge of the situation.
Admiral Latorre further said if the
q ho r
the revolution would only be matter
of few days. He thought q conflict
between the army and the navy entirely
improbable. The navy, he said. could
not easily blockade the whole coast,
owing to it's great extent, while
the admiral of the British feet would
eventually object to the blockade by
calling the attention of the commander
Of the blockading feet to the fact that
he must not interfere with the commerce
OF neutral powers.
The conflict between President Ralma-
ceda and the Chilean congress, said
Admiral Latorre, might have ariaen
from the suspicion that the president
was trying to influence the public mind
and intrigue in favor of the man whom
he wished to succeed him in the presi-
dency. Balmaceda is also accused Of
having broken his promise to effect mu-
nicipal reforms; and an additional cause
OF irritation was his action in dissolving
the special session OF congress-.
Admiral Latorre believes the revolu-
tion will be speedily settled. He is OF
the opinion that Balmaceda, as soon as
he sees that the current of feeling is
really against him, will withdraw from
the presidency. The admiral does not
think any naval officer will suffer for
having taken part in the revolution, as
all have acted in body in response to
The summons of congress-.

The Coldest Winter Ever Known There
Tho Sugar Crop Benefited.

The Sugar Crop Benefited.
HAVANA, Jan. 25.-The continued
northerly gales which have prevailed
since New Years have reduced the
temperature all over the island of Cuba,
and this will be noted as the coldest
winter ever known in this latitude.
The mercury has fallen as low as 5S and
SO. The cold weather is favorable to
the development OF cane, which is in q
splendid condition, and sugar making is
now general throughout the island. The
estimates for 4 very large crop will be
greatly reduced on account offrequent
fires among the standing cane, many of
which were no doubt incendiary. Large
quantities of growing cane have been
consumed. The loss to the planters
will be immense.

The New Webster.
from the Boston Herald, |

Webster's international dictionary is
book which is destined to 60 into every
library, every public school, every house
hold where American literature is re-
ceived and where the English language
is studied. The publishers have spent
more than quarter of million dollars
in bringing this work out in its una
bridged, revised, enlarged and authentic
form. 1t now takes the name ssInter-
national" and this is intended to empha-
size the fact that the language of the
mother country now encircles the globe.
Every page has been treated as if the
book were now published for the first
time. The claim of the publishers is
that it retains that excellence in defini-
ton which has made Webster the safe
and familiar authority to which judges,
journalist. scholar, artisan and man of
business refer, and that in etymology,
pronunciation, citations and pictorial IL
Illustrations it carries to greater perfec-
ton the merits of its predecessors. We
believe that it abundantly iustifies these
modest claims, and that. as a comprehen-
sive dictionary, it is likely to retain the
eminence which has long been held
by "Webster's unabridged.'' No diction-
airy can be final, but for the next 25 years
the international dictionary must be
accepted as the best work of its kind in
the English language.

The drama is a realistic representation OF
fanciful romance, bringing together il
contrast the characteristic influences OF
the high and low life at the French me,
tropolis. The parts ofthe "Orphans'
were taken most acceptably by Miss
Elite Gibson and Mrs. E. F. Arnold. L
may be unnecessary but we think WE
can safely say that Mrs. Arnold is ont
of the best actresses in southern Yer
