SENATOR PLUMB DEAD.

Hours Ill.

Apoplexy Was the Cause-OnIy Few
Hours Ill.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. Ex-senator
Plumb, of Kansas, died suddenly about
noon to-day.
Death came from apoplexy, the result
OF exhaustion of the brain. 1t was n
clear case or overwork and inattention
20 the laws of nature. The Senator has
been known for years as the most push
ing, energetic, hard working member of
the Senate. A year ago he began to
fail. His brain became affected, and
throbbing headaches become more and
more frequent. His physicians warned
him that continuance at his labors
meant death, but he refused to heed
their warming. He continued to work
with the energy of steam engine and
to-day, when still apparently in full vi
gor and with many years of life before
him, he died.

Number of Fast Vessels.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. 2l.-From
information gained here last evening it
looks as though the reports sent out
from Washington of preparations for
war with Chill were true. Admiral
Brown yesterday secured an option on
the new and powerful tug Fearless, just
finished at the Union Iron Works. She
has speed of sixteen knots and can
carry coal enough to maintain ten knots
per hour for fifty days. If purchased
by the government she will be sup
piled with two tive-inch guns and u
secondary battery of four siX-pounders
and four torpedo tubes. She is sWitter
than any Gillian torpedo cruiser and far
more powerful. Admiral Brow n also
secured options on four of Spreckels'
bic steamers, the Iealandia, Australia,
Ma4iposa and Alameda, to be used for
transport service. The Zealandia can
be ready at ten hours notice and all the
others inside Of three weeks. The coast
defense vessel Monterey can be made
ready III three days alter her armor
plate is received.

NEWS FROM CHILL.
Trouble Over the Refugees in tho Ameri-
can Legation.

can Legation.
A special from Washington says that
II translation has been secured of a
cipher dispatch from Minister Egan to
the State Department, in which
Minister Egan stated that q
critical state of affairs existed
in Santiago. The dispatch states that
the American legation is surrounded by
police and Il mob, and threats are free
ly made to blow it up or burn it on ac-
count of the refugees there. Copies of
the cablegrams, the correspondent
says, have been sent to the
President and to the Navy De-
partment, and much CONSERVATION
Rad been created by it's receipt.
The correspondent further says that Il
Cablegram had been prepared to be
sent to Mr.. Eagan, asking him to make
q report on the situation. 1t is be-
lieved at the Navy Department, the
correspondent says, that the state of
affairs around the legation would
not exist if proper police protection was
given. If the situation is as grave as re-
ported the naval officials think that
nothing but force can get the refugees
out of the legation. The effect Of Mr..
Egan's dispatch, it rs though, will
result in demand by Secretary Blaine
for prompt decision in the Baltimore
case. Ifthis is unfavorable Congress will
be called upon to act. Inthe meantime
if further hostile demonstrations are
made an ultimatum will be sent the
CHILEAN government, and the navy will
