Acting upon instructions sent TO him
from Washington MIR. Egan presented
the juntn with IA detailed statement of
the results OF the investigation made
by Capt, Schley of the baltimore and
by Mr. Egan himself. These investi-
cations had shown that Charles Rig
gan, one OF the Baltimore's petty Off
GERS. was brutality assaulted by several
! Chileans while he was riding on n
street car Kiggan resisted, but was
dragged from the car and murdered by
pistol shot in the hands of the
Chileans.
William Turnbull another OF the
Baltimore's men who died to-day from
his Injuries, received no less than eighs
teen stab wounds in the back, two of
them penetrating his lungs.
After giving a full list OF the Balti-
more crew who were injured by the
mob Mr.. gan statement called at
tention 90 the fact that thirty-five OF
the cruisers crew were on the day of
the riots arrested unnecessary violence
being used by the police and that they
were detained IN custody without due
cause.
In conclusion Mr.. Egan said that the
surgeons OF the United States warship
expressed the opinion that some OF the
wounds inflicted upon the American
sailors were bayonet wounds and that
this clearly showed that the police
officers of Valparaiso, who are armed
with bayonets, took part in the at
tack. The Americans were without
arms and practica ly defenseless
MIR. Egan, in presenting the Chilean
junta with the statement OF the rs
sault on the American sailors ex-
pressed IN distinct terms the feeling OF
great Indignation which the State de
partmcnt at Wash ngton feels ut the
whole affair and especially at the
brutal conduct OF the police OF Valpa-
raise In joining with the mob in the
iatter's attack upon the baltimore 3
seamen and in drawing their bayonets
and using them against the unarmed
Americans. Mr.. Egan also practical
ly called attention TO the additional
brutality OF the police OF Valparaiso
in using horses TO drag the Americans
TO prison.
After making brief but pointed sum
mary of the facts TO which he had been
instructed to call attention Mr.. Egan
informed the representatives of the
junta that in the name Of the United
States he demanded reparation for the
insults and injuries complained OF.
Now the question which arises is,
what will be the action of the Chilean
government? AS appears now there
seems TO be no ooubt that the junta
will soon make the repara ton de-
manded.

ECONOMIES ACCEPT THE CHI
cAoo HuMBuo.
The seIr-ssyled Messiah Succeeds ~
Last in Capturing the uig
Prize OF sI5O.OOO.OOO.

PrrrsBuRa, Pa. Oct 2s.--The cell
bate society OF Economics. whose
wealth has been estimated atSl5O, O0o.-
600, has Endorsed the doctrine OF Dr.
Cyrus H. iced of Chicago. who came
here from the West To interest the
members in the new sect of koreshans.
of which Teed Is the head On Satnr-
day night 1t was decided by the board
To support Mr.. iced In whatever way
they could Yesterday the announce
ment OF the proposed change was made
TO the Economics In church.
iced claims To be a second Messiah
and that he IN immortal In IN inter
view concerning his plans he said: Il
will in the near future establish
store In Pittsburg on my system OF
equitable commerce. / will establish
| a big central house in Chicago, and
expect my cooperative system TO come
into general vogue in ten years did
not come here for their money; want
their moral support and credit
Through their influence | expect 10
bring closer to me the other five cell
bate societies in this country"
DIR. Tecd claims that he will execute
many marvellous engineering feats
after he once gets into power, such as
building six-track railroad across
the continent and cutting u pathway
fifty mRcs wide through the Rocky
mountains.
About six or seven years ago "Dr.
iced first conceived the idea OF palm
ing himself of on the Economics as
the Messiah. lie was at that time a
self-styled doctor In country town
in New York. though there IL no
record OF his ever having studied medi-
cine. Business happening TO call him
TO Pittsburg he became acquainted
with some OF the Economics and at
once fell In love with the $3.50. 900, 900
belonging TO the society
IL was then that the idea occurred
TO him OF palming himself off as Christ
A few months later he returned and
secured an introduction into the So
clety, whore he labored some time to
secure an Endorsement, but the Econ
omites could not be induced TO be-
lieve in his divinity.
iced. however, did not propose to
let that $3.50, 600. 900 get away from him.
He went 10 Chicago and opened what
he called the college OF Life" on
State street. near Monroe. iced gave
IL out that he was divine that he had
existed from all eternity and had come
10 regenerate the world. He soon Sc
cured number Of followers. when he
removed 70 large double building on
Cottage Grove avenue. AS fast as he
secured converts on whom ne could
rely he sent them here to work in his
interests in the Economic society.
Year bv year his influence here has
grown until he has at last succeeded
In roping in the golden prize. Most of
the inmates of Dr. Teed's Chicago es-
adjustment are women, and charges
OF the most serious nature are made
against the character OF the place.
