Exciting news is brought from Chill by

disbanded Nearly four thousand coal
miners toined them, AMI together they have
practically taken possession Of the town Of
Coronel, on the coast, about twenty-five
miles south of Conception. All sorts of eI-
cesses have been committed by them. Houses
and stores have been sacked and burned.
The slightest protest against their actions
is met by rifle shots.
In fact mob rule in its worst form pre-

the question Of new election and the reor-
ganization of the Government will be con-
sidered.

is very bitter feeling against the Ameri-

Rare Old Manuscripts.

Christopher Columbus wrote letter
to Luis de SAINT Angel, Escribaao de
Racion, of the Kingdom of Aragon, and
it was dated February Is, 1893. 1t told
all about the discovery of America and
was penned by the discoverer or board
his ship when it was off the Canary
Islands. At that time Columbus had no
idea copy of it would be worth $3.50,
but that is the price Bernard A. Qua
rich holds it at to-day, and he has the
original copy that was found in Spain
eighteen months ago by Spaniard. It
was sold to French bookseller for
small sum and then passed into the hands
of the bibliophile, Bernard Quaritch, of
London. Its great value lies in the fact
that it is the first document in existence
that tells. of the discovery of America.
There have been Latin translations found
twenty-five years ago.. but it was not
known until two years ago that Span
ish translation was ever printed.
In 5000 words he tells of the strange
country he thought was Asia, the natives
and their habits, both in trade and man
ner of living, of the great riches, and he
signs himself 1.-THE Admiral" The copy
has been preserved in an old manuscript
bearing the date of 1895. The trausla-
tion is by Michael Krarney. Among the

coarse paper, made: from the maguey
fibre at Tezcuco in 1929. It is thought
to have been prepared as an assertion Of
the claims of Emperor I1tilxoch H., the
last King of Texcuco,. who lost his king
dom just before the arrival of Cortez,
and by whom he was re.established..
This copy was, preserved in a Mexican
convent and passed into the hands of
Brasseur de Bourbourg, and later to Al
phonso Pinot. Its commercial value is
$1,000. Another rare book is the. ''Deed
of Nobility" printed in Granada in 1898.
