DOCTORED WAR NEWS.
Reports From Chill Said to be
COlored By Insurgents.

BUENos AYREs, Jan. 31.-War news
continues to filter from Chill into this
republic, but it must be admitted the
information received seems to come,
in the main. from sources favorable to
the insurgents and unfavorable the
Chilian government. Valdyvia Port or
Corral and the seaport town OF Valdl-
via, sixteen miles from the mouth OF the
Callacalla river are now blockaded by
the war vessels of the insurgents. The
insurgents war ships are also DlOckad-
ing the island of Chloe and the Chloe
archipelago, their ships patrolling the
gulf of Ancud, and thus cutting off
all communication between the islands
and the mainland. One rebel vessel Is
lying Oft Ancud, the capital OF the
island:of Chloe. lnsurgent marines from
that vessel have occupied Ancud. The
Chloe archipelago consists of about
sixty small islands, with a population Of
$4,000 souls.
The insurgent war ship which was
anchored off Aneud recently left that
port in charge of the marines she had
landed, and steamed away to capture
another port. While this vessel was
absent ship having government troops

fire upon the government vessel.
The latter replied with rapid
fire guns and small arm fire,
but after a sharp engagement the gov
ernment vessel was disabled and had to

the victorious insurgents. President
Balmaceda is now SAID to have an

terms of peace with the reuels, who
seem to be victorious Oh all sides. One
of the stipulations insisted upon by the
president, if the negotiations are to pro-
ceed, is that the port Valparaiso Is not
to be blockaded W hile the parleying con-
tinues. The rebels, 1t is added, insist
that President Balmaceda must resign.
Some compromise favorable to the in
terests of European merchants and
financiers is looked forward 10 accord

Further advces received here from
Chill are to the effect that after several

Disaster.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 31.-A run
away cable train ran down the union
depot incline at s o'clock tonight, and
it was only by the merest chance that a
number of lives were not lost. The inv
cline is 1000 feet long, and descends at
an angle of so deg. from Summit street
to an elevated station east of the union
depot. AT Summit street the grip broke,
the brakes failed to work and the train,
unrestrained, shot down the incline at
lightning speed. The passenger car cOnS
tanned nine persons, among them l.. j.
Bricker, employed in the Burlington
ticket office, and G.. +. Davidson, OF
Neosho. Kan. The ladies in the car
rushed for the door to escape, but Mr..
Bricker and Mr.. Davidson restrained
them and saved their lives. The train
kept to the rails until it reached the
curve at the foot of the incline, when1
the grip car jumped the track and
turned over on its side. The passenger
coach crashed into it and reduced 1t to-
splinters. Gripman Bostry was serious4I
ly injured, but he will recover. None
OF the passengers were hurt, exceptingl
G. E. Davidson. He was cut with glass
and badly injured.

them made was also incorrect. and that
the statement that he had ever
agreed to support the bill, directly
or indirectly, was incorrect. He
would say now. lest he might have. no
other opportunity, that his opposition to
the elections bill had never grown out of
his attitude on tine silver question. IT
the silver question had been disposed OF
early last year, i'll accordance with his
wishes, his course on the elections bill
would not have been changed. He had
been opposed to that bill on principle,
and he had never for moment enter
tanned the idea that it would be so
amended that he would be able to vote
for it, because that would involve such
radical change in the bill that its
friends would not then care about its
passage. He said now-and it was all
that he proposed to say, no matter what
might be said about his attitude or his
relations to the bill-that he had never
promised to support it, that he had
never intended to support it, and that
he had not supported it.

DUNCAN RUINED.
A Venerable Editors Unhappy
Love Affair.

LONDON, Jan. 31.-Leslie Fraser Dun
can, the venerable ex-editor of the Mat
rimonial News, who WIS ordered by the
verdict of jury to pay Gl0,000 to Miss
Gladys Knowles for promising to make
her his wife and not keeping his word,
has ever since the verdict been playing
hide-and-seek game with the bank
ruptcy court in an effort to escape the
payment of the money. at present he
is under criminal prosecution for
falling to answer questions as to the
whereabouts OF his property and for
endeavorng to conceal the same. lie
has been compelled to part with his
property at a sacrifice, and the official
receiver has succeeded, after all Dun
cans lodging, in getting hold OF the
&c. 200 or 81 ,000 he had left, SO that the
suit has ruined Duncan. Miss Knowles
will get the 96500, less expenses,
awarded her by the appellate court,
which seems to have fixed the amount
at just about the money of the bankrupt
known to be in hand, thus virtually re-
leasing him on that being paid over.
Duncan, who had lived on comfortably
and quietly enough until he met Miss
Knowles, has had rather an exciting eX-
perience since that event, having within
the past few months been a fugitive on
the continent, prisoner in LOndOn,an
indicted criminal, and, IL he tells the
truth now, begger.

GAYETTEs SUPPRESSED.
Invitations for the Army and Navy
ReCeptiOn Recalled.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 91.-The preSl-
dent has recalled the Invitations to the
army and navy reception next Tues
day, Mrs. Harrison's reception Oh the 7th
proximo, and the public reception on
the 10th proximo. 1t is understood thar
other dates for these events will be an.
nounced hereafter. The death of Sec.
retary Window was the subject of spe-
cial message to congress to-day. AS.
sistant Secretary Nettleton returned to
Washington last evening, and is now
acting as secretary OF the treasury
under designation issued by
he president several months ago,
authorizing him to act in that capacity
in the absence of Secretary Window.
The president conferred with Attorney
General Miller and Assistant Secretary
Nettleton this morning, with regard to
his powers, under the statute, in max
ing temporary provision for the vacancy.
The conclusion was reached. that in case
of the death of the head of a depart
ment, the next in rank or Official stand
ing should act for period OF ten days
from the time of his death, and no
longer. The case of Secretary Folger
was cited as precedent. but on the ad-
vice OF the attorney general, it was.
thought best not to follow it, but to
apply to congress for authority to re-
move the present limitation, which
such vacancies shall be filled.
When Mr.. Folger died, Assistant
Secretary Coon acted as secre-
tary for period of ten days under his
regular designation, and was then es-
pecially designated by the president to
act for further period of ten days,
thus giving the president twenty days
for the consideration of a permanent
appointment. Under Attorney General
Miller's construction of law, the presi-
dent will really have but about five days
within which to select his minister of
finance. as it is not reasonable to sup
pose that he will give the subject seri-
Gus thought until after the funeral Of
the late Secretary Window. The house
of the late Secretary Window was closed
to visitors to-day. A few intimate
friends were admitted, however. and
were permitted to gaze on the we'll.
known face of tie dead financier. 1t is
still somewhat diScolored, ana it was
thought best not TO have the body lie in
state for public inspection. Acting Sec
retary Nettleton issued the following
order this afternoon:
Treasury Department., Office of the Secre-
tary, Washington, Jan. 81, 1S9l.-To the Oiii-
eers of the CCstoms Assistant Treasurers of
the United States and All Other officers of
the Treasury Department: Notice is hereby
given that the funeral of Hon. William VIM
dom, late secretary of the treasury, will take
place at 2 p m Monday. Feb. 9 1891, in
the city of Washington. All buildings and
Offices under your control will be closed
throughout the day, so lar as consistent with
the transaction of necessary public business,
and absolutely on and after the hour men
toned On all public buildings throughout
the United States, and on all vessels and
steamers under the control of this depart
ment, the national flag will be displayed at
half-mast. (Signed) A. B. NETTLEToN,
