INSULT TO CUR FLAG
Fhe Governmen ut Will Call Chile
to Account
FOR THE ASSAULT UPON OUR TARs.

Minister Egan Directed to Mako n
Firm Demand for Redress = Ho
May Be Recalled-Diplomacy to
Be Tried-The President Indig-
nant.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-Persistent in
huiry of officers Of the government in re-
gard to the Valparaiso incident of the
l6th inst. shows conclusively that the
administration does not regard it as
simple street row for which the Chilean
government cannp pt be held accountable,
but as an insult to the honor and flag of
the United States, calling for the most
vigorous diplomatic treatment.
The authorities at Washington are
very indignant at the apparent indiffer-
ence displayed by the Chilean govern
ment, and Minister Eagan has been in
structed to take prompt and vigorous
measures to secure proper reparation.
He has been fully advised of the position
of'this government in the matter, and
has been instructed to trquaint the
Chilean government Herewith, in the
hope that the matter may be amieably
adjusted without detriment to the honor
of either country
Minister Egar May BE Recalled.
1t is understood that the president in
sists upon proper redress for the insult
to our national hbnor, and unless it is
given within reasonable time Minister
Egan will be recalled and all diplomatic
relations with Chill suspended.
Secretary Tracy said that no more
vessals had hepn brdered to Chile and
that he did not know that any would be
sent. The Yorktown is now on her way
there and the Boston is about to start.
Neither of them can possibly reach there
within month. The San Francisco is
at Callao, only four days sail from Val
paraiso, but has not been ordered there.
Neither has annother available steamer,
the Thetis, now at San Francisco.
Captain Schiey's Dispatch.
The secretary says that a further
study of the cipher dipatch received
from Captain Schley showed that, in ad-
dition to the killing of one man and the
wounding of six others, thirty-fve other
American seamen were arrested and de-
tanned by the Chilean authorities at the
same time and that they were after
wards examined and dismissed, as there
was no proof that they had been guilty
OF any mlSbehhvlor. IhlS conhrms
Captain Schley's statement that the
Americans were unarmed, sober and
well behaved at the time of the trouble,
and also indicates that at least forty men
out of the Baltimore's contingent of 275
were objects of the rage of the Chilean
mob.
1t also appears now that up to the date
of Captain Schley's report the Chilean
authorities had taken no steps to arrest
and punish any Of the Chileans RESPONSE
BILE for the affair. The president is in
clined to regard the attack upon the
American sailors as deliberate insult to
the American flag.

Strength and Maturity of a Man.


Strength and Maturity of Man.
TRENTON, Oct. 26.-There is remark
able boy in the New Jersey Reform
school at Jamesburg, who has been
made a ward of the state, because he is
not safe to be at large. He is only 9
years old, but has the mannerism and
maturity of young man Of 20 and the
mustache of a man much older. He is
called by the medical men who have ex-
amined him a precocious baby and a
wonder in more ways than one.
His name is Herman Hoffer, he stands
over four feet in J stockings, and can
hit from the shoulder with the force of
sledge. A test of his lifting powers
shows that he can move barrel of flour
and lift 200 pound weight.
The parents were forced to appeal to
Judge Robert s. Woodruff, of the Mer-
Ger circuit court, to put him in subjec-
tion. He was examined by DIR. Horace
g. Wetherill, who pronounced him a
phenomenon and remarkable case. The
boy is now at Jamesburg and has not
yet broken out because he is interested
