AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE.
HORRORS OF THE TRAFFIC IN
. HUMAN CHATTELS.
Terrible Tales of Cruelties Related by
Missionaries in the Dark Continent
s-svr
The Bodies of Murdered Captives Fed
to Hyenas.

COLOGNE, Dec. 16.-At a meeting of
the African society here, today, Canon
Kespes read extracts from the diaries Of
African missionaries, which told OF re-
voting cruelty in connection with
slave-hunting in the neighborhood of
Lake Tanganyika. One of the state
ments read was as follows:
"The notorious slave-hunter, Maka-
tubo, brought back 1000 natives as the
result of his last expedition to Karema.
The wretched people were chained in
patches of score. They were like
living skeletons. While the caravan was
traversing the Kirando country, where
there was famine, the marching slaves
were obliged, through hunger, to dig up
and eat roots which animals refused to
eat. Hundreds died of hunger, fever or
dysentery. A large number OF women
and children, whose weakness impeded
the march, we've drowned. Laggards
through illness were killed with cudgels
at the rrate OF ten to fifty daily. AT
night they were sheltered in roofess
huts, while goats taken along were kept
in covered stables. Every morning the
bodies OF those who died during the
night were dragged out and thrown to
the hyenas which followed the camp.
Many poor creatures were covered with
burns and sores as the result Of punish
ment inflicted"
Similar accounts are given of cruelty
practiced by other slave-hunters.
The missionaries ransom salves, plac-
ing the sick in the hospital whenever
possible.

PREPARING FOR WAR.
why Chile Delays Her Response to the
United States.

United States.
New York, Dec. 16.-The Herald's
Washington special says: From talk in
the department yesterday, it appears
that information has been received from
good authorities ia and about Chile,
that the Chleans are delaying their
response to our demand for information
concerning the Valparaiso incident, for
the purpose of gaining time in which
to prepare for war with this
country. The opinion was freely ad-
vanced that President Harrison would
in ell likelihood take measures to
checkmate Chile in this matter by send
ing a special message to congress within
the next two weeks, reciting the fact
that an explanation and reparation
had been demanded of Chile and
proclaiming the necessity OF informing
Chile that this country would resort to
extreme measuree if the desired re-
sponse is further delayed beyond rea-
sonable and specified time. The
wisdom of this course, it is
argued, would be apparent, because
it would take the Chileans short-handed
and would prevent them from taking
possession of their best battleship, the
Captain Pratt. This vessel is now build
ing in France, and cannot be finished in
less than two months or more. Ifin the
meanwhile President Harrison and con-
gress should cause declaration of war
by the United States against Chile, it
would prevent France from delivering
the Captain Pratt to Chile, and would
leave New York and our other Atlantic
cities free from the danger of lombard
ment by that vessel.

Nearly Completed.

Nearly Completed.
New YORK, Dec. 15.-The Herald's
Valparaiso cable says: l have semi
official information thatJudge OF Crimes
Foster will conclude his inquiry into the
Baltimore affair this week, and his re-
port will form the subject OF considera-
tion by the government Immediately
after President Montt assumes Office,
December Goth. Judge Foster today
handed in report in the case OF Pat
rick Shields, an Irish fireman of the
American vessel Keweenaw, who, it is
alleged, was brutallv treated by the
Valparaiso police. The report goes to
the procurator fiscal for an opinion be-
fore the judge pronounces judgment in
the case.
Balmaceda's minister OF war, Vel
asquet, was released ON bail today for
appearance before the court when re-
quired. This disposition of his case
would seem to remove the existence of
any good reason why the refugees at the
American legation should not be sur
rendered on the same terms.
The procurator, it is alleged, has
found document empowering Frank
Egan, son OF Minister Egan, to act with
full authority as attorney for the North
and South American Construction CON-
pany. The document is Witnessed by
Notary Woll, and was filed in the Kings
countyS New York, clerks Office, ON
June 8, 1891. This is the same COM
pany whose transactions have antago-
nized Chileans generally against all
American interests.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC STRIKERS.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 16-There were

pose of taking some action regarding the

Associated Press Dispatches.
MERGED, CAL, Dec. 16.-It has just
leaked out that the grand jury which
adjourned last week until January 18th,
has been investigating the Ivett murder
case. While it is not positively known
what evidence has been introduced be-
fore the jury, it is rumored that it is OF
a sensational character. A detective at
tached to Lawson's agency, and Lawson
himself, have for months been working
on the case, and it is alleged that the
evidence they have unearthed is con-
elusive and corroborative Of the circum-
stantiarevidence introduced at the ia
nous Olsen trial, which took place here
last April. 1t is alleged that on
the night OF the murder, Olsen went
to the room OF an intimate
of house of ill fame at La Grange at 2
a. M, and after washing the blood off
his hands and face, changed his shirt I;
then remained in the house until about
daybreak; then crossed the river to his
mothers home. Through strategy the
woman was induced to tell what she
knew about the matter to two conf
Dental friends. With slight clue of
what became OF Olsen's shirt, Lawson's
agents removed an clubhouse in the rear
of the house in La Grange last week, and
on clearing out the excavation, the shirt
was found at the bottom of the hole.
The shirt had blood on it. Further dis
closures are expected, as it is rumored
that Lawson has further evidence, and
that warrants are out for the cocoon
spirators who, it is alleged, with Olsen
conspired to kill Ivett.

AN EDITOR THUMPED.s
DIR. Bowers Assaulted at Ventura by q
Deputy Sheriff.

DR.. Bowers Assaulted at ventura by
Deputy Sheriff.
VENTURA, Dec. 16.-This morning
while the editor of the Daily Observer
was in his office, writing at his table,
Charles L. Wason, deputy sheriff of
this county, came in, closing the door
and using insulting language. DR.. Bow
ers ordered him out, still remaining
seated at the table, with his back anu
side turned to Wason. While in this
position, the latter struck him with all
his force, knocking him forward
on the table, and follow
ing it with half dozen
severe blows. As soon as Bowers could
recover himself Wason retreated
through the front door and made tracks
FOR the court house. The people are in
dignant over the assault, and DR..
Bowers has been visited by scores in
his office today. Wason's ire had been
aroused by criticisms of Observer on
the waste of the peoples money about
the court house, but the paper had
made no personal attack on him. Wa
son is a stout man and weighs 200
pounds. DR.. Bowers is also muscular
man and fearless, and though twice
Wasson's age, could easily cope with
him. Sympathy is decidedly with the
editor.

CHILE's REPLY.

Surprising Character of America's Ac-
tion on the Valparaiso Affair.
LONDON, Dec. 16.-The Times cores
pondent in Paris sends to mis- paper a
column dispatch giving the text Of
Chile's reply to President Harrison's
message. In commenting upon the
Surprising character of Americas ac-
tion," the correspondent says: "The
violence OF President Harrison's mes
sage would be repugnant to Euro.
pean ideas, even if they only affected
Chile. If, however, the Americans
went to war for sailors quarrel, Eu-
rope might witness spectacle 80 singu-
lar that it would relieve the monotony
OF the present times. America having
refused to sign the treaty against pri-
watering, Chile will be entitled to
equip her entire mercantile marine,
even American built vessels, as privat-
GERS. Happily this is mere hypothe-
sis. President. Harrisons message is
merely rhetorical display"

SAN Francisco, Dec. 16.-The Chron-
icle will say tomorrow: The cruiser
San Francisco is lying at Mare island,
ready to sail at a moments notice, as
soon as orders are received from Wash
ington, and these are expected to arrive
at any moment. The vessel has been
provisioned and equipped with arms
and nmunition to the fullest Ca
pacity. These extreme preparations
about settle where the cruiser
is going. Her provisions are suf-
ficient to last for many months,
even if unable to obtain supplies from
shore. There is no country in the world
at present from which any difficulties in
obtaining fresh provisions might be ex-
pected, except in Chile. The additional
fact that the cruiser is carrying all the
powder and ball possible. shows conclu-
sively that it is to leave for its destina-
tion with every preparation for war.

SNOW BOUND TOURISTS.
Santa Fe Trains Tied UP In New Mexico.
Terrible Snowstorm.

SANTA FE. Dec. 16.-All the through
trains on the Santa F6 route have been
tied up at various points between Las
Vegas and Ration tunnel for the past
four days, owing to the worst snow
blockade known in years. The snow is
two to four feet deep on the level, and
drifted badly. Hundreds of Pacific
coast and east-bound passengers are in
the blockade. Trains began moving to-
night. 1t is believed they will now get
through without further delay.
RATION, Dec. 16.-The heaviest snow
storm ever known in this section, ac-
companied by a fierce gale, has ragged
since Monday morning. 1t is drifted as
high as thirty-fve feet. Railroad traffic
has been suspended for twenty-four
hours past, and all the roads are block
AIDED. Bissburg Is completely isolated.
The wires are down and the tracks are
covered with three feet OF snow. Cattle

THE POPE's AIM.

State In France.
ROME, Dec. 16.-Temps prints an ac-
count of an interview with the pope on
the French ecclesiastical question. Ac-
cording to this account, the pope said
his aim was to encourage Cancellation
and he would have been better pleased
if the letter OF archbishop of AK had
been an isolated manifestation of opin-
ion. He was much affected by the at
tacks made upon the French pill
grims in Rome, and panied to
learn that the pilgrimages OF French
Catholics were stopped by ministerial
order. The French government, he
thought, erred in prosecuting the arch
bishop OF AK. Minister Fallieres ought
simply to have written trenchant re-
ply. The prosecution of the archbishop,
instead of promoting peace between
state and church, tended to cause en-
mity,

Driver Creighton Suspected of Standing
In With His Robbers.

CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-Today brought
only faint clues to the perpetrators of
last nights sensational mail robbery.
The booty is now estimated at $2500.
An interesting statement is made by
woman who was attending wake in a
house on corner of the alley where the
robbery was committed. She says she
saw the mail wagon turn into the alley,
but saw no robbers. The inference is
that Driver Creighton went into the
alley of his own accord. The police ac-
cept this as evidence that Creighton
was not altogether ignorant OF the am
bush.

Wanton Destruction of Seal Life at the
PribylOv Islands.

SAN Francisco, Dec. 16 -Ounalaska
advices to December 9th were received
here by the revenue cutter Rush, which
returned yesterday from Bering sea.
The advces state that with the depart
uIe of the seals southwark, an opportu-
nifty was given OF inspecting the rocker
les at the seal islands, and that more
than ten thousand were found dead, ap-
parently from starvation. The indis-
criminate slaughter of seals, without re-
gard to sex, it is contended, deprived
the young seals of their dams and their
natural sustenance. Inquiry at the
Pribylov islands disclosed the fact that
no vessel other than passing whalers,
had been sighted since the departure OF
the Rush in September, and it is
thought the report of intended raids by
seal poachers was unfounded, or else
that the latter thought better OF the
project and gave it up.
