Los Angeles herald., 1891-06-29

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-Pedro Montt,
who is on a mission to this country from
the constitutional party in Chile, has
been informed by Sefior Errazuriz, min
lister OF foreign affairs of that party at
Iquique, that a committee of the govern
ment has appointed Louis Peirro its
confidential agent at Buenos Ayres.
This is relative position to that filed
by Montt to the United States.
Montt declines to say anything with
respect to his mission, but to an Asso-
ciated Press reporter tonight he said an
official dispatch to him from Iquique
contained denial of the truth of the
reports from Santiago, coming by way
OF London, to the effect that the revolt
is making no progress; that provisions
are scarce, and the army discouraged.
Montt said the fact of the occupation of
the Lobos islands by the Esmeralda is
in itself proof that the revolt is making
progress. Provisions are not scarce, he
says, and the army, being composed OF
volunteers, is not discontented, nor is
the pay of the soldiers in arrears.
The Chilean legation today received
the following telegram:
SANTIAGO, June 28.-The chief of the
Chilean insurgents, an ex-captain OF the
Chilean navy, George Montt, has noti-
fed the American admiral at Iquique
that the crews of American vessels
ought not to go on shore as they would
run the risk of being assaulted by revo-
lutionary mobs.

ITALY AND DREIBUND.
PREMIER RUDINI WAS INCLINED TO
RECEDE FROM 1T.
But England's Sympathy Caused Him to
Stay by It-A Wild Scene in the Italian
Deputies Over the Governments For
eign POLICY. 49,

LONDON, June 2S.-The Rome cores
pondent of the News learns from the
best authority that Premier Rudini de-
sired to recede from the dreibund, but
on finding England in great sympathy
with the alliance, he declined to isolate
Italy by refusing to renew the treaty
ROME, June 2S.-There was another
scene OF wild disorder in the chamber of
deputies when the foreign policy of the
government came up FOR consideration
After few preliminary skirmishes, Ad-
miral Brin, ex-minister of marine, who
was speaking yesterday when the sit
ting had to be suspended on account of
the tumult in the chamber, rose to pro-
cead with the foreign Interpolation, but
he was met with such storm OF radi-
cal protests that he was only able to re-
peat the text OF the Interpolation.
Premier Rudini then arose and de-
cared in emphatic terms that the gov
ernment would adhere firmly and
3stolidly to the dreibund, adding that
Italy and Europe might rest assured
that these alliances would be maintained
and European peace would long be pre-
served. With this the whole house, with
the exception of the extreme left, rose
and cheered long and heartily.
After further chickering's some de-
predatory illusions made by Martino
excited the anger of the radicals who
sprang from their seats, calculating
violently and drowning the voice of the
speaker with their cries.
Cavalletti made rush at Martino
and would have struck him but for the
interference of friends who parted the
two men. Every member stood shout
ing, disputing and menacing in the wild
est manner.
Finally the president, finding himself
unable to pacify the members, abruptly
suspended the sitting. When the sit
ting was resumed, Cavalletti, Signor
Bovio and the president of the chamber
appealed for concord, and all three were
enthusiastically applauded by the house.
Finally parliament was prorogued for the
summer.
Opinione says Rudini's statement in
the deputies, today, is interpreted to
mean that the dreibund is an accom-
plished fact.
In the midst of the confusion, Sig
nor Sonnino threw bundle of pa
pers in Signor Covalletti's face, and the
latter rushed to attack Sonnino, when
friends interfered. A general scuffie
then took place. Only the ministers
remained in their seats, the whole
house seeming to be transformed into
an arena crowded with combatants. IN
the scuifle several deputies were more
or less badly hurt. Todav's scenes were
in the history OF the
chamber of deputies.

Negro Miners Put in white Strikers
PIaces-A Riot Ensues.
SEATTLE, June 28.-The threat of the
Oregon improvement company to put
negroes in its mines at Newcastle, in
place of the striking white men, was
carried out today. At o'clock
this morning the company sent
special train into Newcastle with
eigh6 black men, from its Franklin
mine, and had them guarded by fifteen
Sullivan men. When they arrived the
strikers were all asleep and
off their guard. The situation re-
mains unchaged at Gilman.
The strikers are maintaining
their armed organizations known as
the home guard and drill daily. Sulli-
van men patrol the company's domains
day and night, to protect property, while
deputy sheriffs watch both factions and
try to avert trouble. The Seattle Coal and
Supply company will undoubtedly take
in force of men in few days and start
up the mines. They will probably be
protected by the civil authorities but
serious trouble is almost inevitable.
A special to the Post-Intelligencer,
from franklin, says that the white
strikers, angered at the action OF the
Oregon Improvement company in taking
negroes to the Newcastle mine, started
to clean out the negro camp tonight
In the scrimmage four men were killed,
but it is not known of which faction.
Deputy Sheriff Stretch, who has been at
the scene for the past four weeks, has
called for the militia, and two COM
panies will leave on special train in
few hours,

BALTIMORE, June 2S.-Cardinal Glib
bons returned this afternoon from Wash
ington, where he officiated at the dedi-
cation of st. Mary's Catholic church.
The cardinal took occasion to refute the
statements made to the Holy
See that the spiritual condition and
needs of foreign-speaking Catholics in
the United States were not properly
provided for. He said, in part: 81
venture to say that the hierarchy of no
country in the world are paying more
attention to the spiritual wants OF for
eign-born Catholic people than are the
prelates of the United States. They are
earnestly endeavoring to have the gos-
pei preached to them in their ma
tive tongue during the transition period
which occurs before they are absorbed
into the great English-speaking world
around them. Paris has a large popu-
lation of English-speaking Catholics.
Vienna and Berlin also. have large
populations of French and English
and other nationalities. The city
of Rio in Brazil contains also large
population of Catholics which do not
speak Portuguese, the language of the
country, and yet in these great centers,
if 1 am correctly informed, little
or no provision is made for the
foreign Catholic population. With
these facts before US we cannot
view without astonishment and indig-
nation number of self-constituted and
officious gentlemen in Europe complain
ing about alleged inattention which is
paid to the spiritual wants of the for
eign population.
