BALMACEDA'S ESCAPE.
Admiral Brown Aids the Chilian President
to Leave His Country.

New YonK, Sept. IA Herald special
cablegram from Valparaiso, Sept. IA, says
that Balmnceda has escaped from tho
clutches of his enemies, ana is now safe on
the high seas under the protection of the
United States flag. All the time the soldiers
of ths junta were guarding the passes of the
Republic, and the police Of the new pro-
visional government were searching the
monasteries in and around Santiago for the
fugitive ex-president he was in hiding
in this city. Here he was apt to escape.
Balmaceda chose his refuge wisely, for he
was enabled to throw himself upon the
mercy Of Admiral Brown, Of the United
States flagship San Francisco, and beg to
be saved from the revenge he feared from
his foes. Admiral Brown did what other
foreign admirals would have done under
similar circumstances. He stepped in pos
sibly to save human life. In the name Of
humanityhe consented to afford Balmaceda
the shelter Of his ship and the protection Of
the stars and stripes. To effect the ex-
presidents escape it was decided TO have
Bslmnceda disguise himself as drunken
United States sailor, clothing being sent
ashore in market boat last night by order
Of Admiral Brown. II was smnggled by
one of Balmaceda's faithful adherents into
the house where the ex-president was In
hiding. He carefully donned 1t, and after
close inspection of his new and strange
attire, TO see there was nothing
about the eet-up which would arouse suspi-
cion, he stole out by rear entrance into
the street. The nightfall favored his dis
guise, and he had studied his part 80 we'll
he feigned the drunken tar to perfection.
On his way toward the water front he rolled
by many men who would have been delight
ed to have had a chance to seize and turn
him over to the police authorities.
In time he reached SPOT in the harbor
arranged upon. There he found boat
awaiting him. II wag manned by sturdy
United States man-of-wars men. RalIna-
ceda, still maintaining his disguise, made
final drunken stumble and fell into tho
boat. 1t pushed off at once and in short
time the ex-presidsIt, all signs Of
inebriety at an end, climbed
He went at once to one Of the cabins OF the
San Francisco and did not again show him
self above. This part of the vessel was re.
served solely for it's prominent guest. No
body was allowed to visit the cabin. The
officers of the San Francisco were questioned
about the matter, but resolutely refused to
discuss it. The San Francisco left Valparalao
i'll the evening for Callao. Thence it will
sail for California. Balmaceda may elect
| to land at Calao, where many of his lead
ing partisans have already been taken by
tho foreign ships on board which they
sought refuge after the fall of Valparaiso.
Admiral Browns action will undoubtedly,
| for time at least, increase the bitter feel
ing here toward the United States govern
ment. although the admirals OF other for
! e,gn vessels have taken prominent Ba!lna-
cedists aboard.

DEATH FROM OPIUM.

A Lynching Of Chinamen May Follow n
Spaniard's Spree.
FOREST HILL, CAL, Sept. IA Spaniard
named Nunas wound up protracted spree
yesterday by smoking opium in Chinese

BUTTE, Sept. A.-[Special. THE exami-
nation of the men accused of the Penrose
murder was resumed to-day before Judges
McMurphy and Herbert. The same course
as pursued last week was taken up by the
defense, the attempt to prove an alibi.
Owen Dolan, Thomas Duheme, Games Kim
ney and w. H. Eddy, the latter president OF
the Miners union, we're examined. All
testified about the same as the other wit
nesses who preceded them last week, and
no new testimony was brought out. Tho
four swore that they had seen them until
midnight, and some declared that they had
seen them until almost one O'Clock. In
fact their testimony was only repetition
of that Of Breen and others who testified
last week al to the whereabouts of the
accused on the night of the murder.

Lewis vt Great Falls Pays Heavy
Fine-A H0ld-Up.

M1ssoULA, Sept. n.-LSpecial. About 6
o'clock this morning three prisoners con-
fined in the county Jail for short term es-
capped. The jail has been overcrowded for
some time, so much so that four prisoners
have to occupy cell. Those who escaped,
James Thurston, Jas. McQuillan and Mike
Brown, occupied cell with George Leslie,
a sick prisoner. On account of Leslio'g
sickness the cell door was left open, and
when the turnkey locked the cage the pris-
oners managed by means of a wire to throw
the lock, and when everything was quiet
pushed back the bar and walked out. They
dug small hole in the twelve-inch brick
wall in the rear Of the Jail and at O'Clock
gained the open air. Their escape was
discovered Immediately and they we're at
once followed. This afternoon Mike Brown
was captured about three miles east of the
city.
The trial of McKerrick, Lyons and
Scwartz, accused of destroying the plumb
ing in the Rankin block, the property of
Sturrock u Brown, was begun before Judge
Evans this afternoon. After discussion it
was decided to try each man separately.
The trial of scwartz occnpied all the after
noon. The prosecution brought out the
fact that the defendants had made threats
to get even with Sturrock g. Brown, and
their men, with whom they had had quar-
rel on account of labor troubles; that they
were seen lettering about the building on
the night before the damage was done.
There was no defense except the bare state
ment of the defendant of alibi. The case
will be argued and decision rendered at
10 O'Clock tomorrow.
