CHILEANS RAISE A HOWL.
REvoLUTIoNIsTS KICK OVER THE
lTATA AFFAIR.

The American Admiral's Refusal to
Surrender the Insurgent Steamers
Arms More Than Was Counted:On-
Government Advices Claim a Force
of 10000 Men as Against 5000 in
the Insurgent Army.
PARIS, June 7.-The Chilean legation has
received an official note, issued at Santiago
by the so-called delegation congress, rep
resenting that the revolution is without
moral authority; that the insurgents of
Jarapoca lack authority, and have no means
with which to make an expedition into the
populous part Of Chile, and that
the army of the government
numbers $4,000 soldiers and 10000
gendarmes, we'll equipped and disciplined,
while the revolutionary army consists OF
only 5000 demoralized men. The constitu-
tional congress, the note adds, has ap-
proved economic laws furnishing the gov
ernment with ample resources.
DISAPPOINTMENT EXPRESSED.
IQUIoUE, June There is great excite
ment here over the decision of the Ameri-
can admiral to take the Itata without al
milton. The press is very bitter, and oon-
siders that the United States, the recog-
nized cradle of republican ideas, commits
grave error in thus Indirectly assisting
the dictator. The Ndciondl, in an edi-
orial, says: 1--WE know we have the sym
pathies of the people Of America, and also
Of the people of all other civilized nations,
but the act Of the United States govern
ment against the weaker power in arms for
liberties and rights is not in harmony with
the traditions Of that government" The
article concludes. Let Americans take our
ships and our guns, hut let them reflect
that they leave nailed in the hearts of s, 700, :
900 men sentiments of having been deceived
in their hopes, and of having lost faith in
the nobleness Of mind and liberality OF SEN
timent Of the government at Washington. !"

OF the general company, or of the Road

cles, for which high rates are charged, are
kept busy.
John Burns was arrested on a "busn to-
day while trying to persuade the driver 10
leave. Burns was released, but will proba-
bly, be summoned for trial.
The thoroughfares OF London were tran
quilly silent to-day, owing to the absence
Of the buses. There was a plentiful sup
ply or cabs, however, and Londoners ao-
cepted the discomforts of the situation with
good humor, the weather being fine, but on
the resumption of business Tomorrow
morning there will probably be some hearty
grumbling.
BURNS ACTIVITY.
John Burns and his colleagues were active
the whole OF last night organizing pickets.

strongly guarded by the police. aud groups
OF strikers were standing around after
humanely consenting TO feed the horses
About twenty vehicles .of the Road Car
Company and few Of the General Omni>
bus Company ventured out with "bleck-
leg" drivers, but many of these drivers,
after experiencing the taunts and jeers Of
the strikers, abandoned the attempt after
the first journey, and at Q o'clock in the af-
ternoon the Road Car Company called In
all its cars, leaving traffic to occasional
pirates" who, cheered by the strikers, did
good business at enhanced fares The
railways. river boats and cabs reaped the
benefit of the strike.
AN EXCITING INCIDENT.
The speakers generally werelorderiy, only
two untoward incidents being reported. At
tCharinR Cross, in the presence OF 2,O00 cheer
ing onlookers, John Burns stoutly resisted the
violent attempt OF q posse Of police to arrest
him on top Of a road car, where he had
been trying to persuade the police TO inter-
fere with a driver working without
license. On the police desIstinR
from their violent effort Mr.. Burns went
quietly to the station, where be was
charged with intimidation. Some of the
strikers cut the traces Of two buses at the
Marble Arch and overturned them after
inviting the passengers to descend. Those
OF the strikers concerned were arrested.
The men have abandoned their demand for
an increase of wages for the present. The
Road Car Company is willing to ooncede
twelve hours day, and it is probable that
q settlement will be effected tomorrow.
