GILLIAN ADVICES.
Government Vessels Bombard the
Rebel Headquarters at Iquique.
The Insurgents Vessels Save Themselves
pehind Foreign Merchant ships
Unexpected Coming of the Cow
crnment Vessels Creates
Panic.

The last private advices from Chill,
about week ago. In regard to the re-
bellion, were to the effect that the gov
ernment's war ships had started to en-.
gage the fleet of the insurgents, the
vessels of which were in bad condition
for lack of supplies and repairs Sun
day it was learned by telegraph from
Santiago that the torpedo cruiser Ad-
miral Condell and the Imperial bonn
barded the rebel headquarters at Ca
vancha, aportion of the port of Iquique
The rebel vessels took shelter amongst
the foreign merchant ships at anchor
in the bay. A few companies of gov
eminent troops landed at the port of
Taltal and captured some rebel officers
after the flight of a number of COM
panies belonging to a battalion in
course of organization and awaiting
arms and ammunition, expected by the
1tata from the United States. The rebels
left behind them the musical instru-
ments of the military band. A panic
exists among the portion of the north
ern coast held by the rebels, on account
of the unexpected visit of the govern
ment men-of-war there 1t is also
learned by the same route that d. Au-
gustine Ross, the chief agent of the
Chilian insurgents at Paris, has be-
come insane, and the authorities are
trying to have aim confined in an asy-
lum. The statement of Mr. Whitelaw
Reid, the minister of the United States,
contradicting the story from rebel
sources that they had entered into official
negotiations with him on account of
the Itata, has disconnected the insur-
gents. The French minister of foreign
affairs has refused to receive officially
the representative of the rebels, Don
Augusta Mate. The same policy has
been followed by all the other European
governments. The order of Judge
Ross, of Los Angeles, Cal, to produce
before the grand jury the kilograms
sent by Mr.. Ricardo Trumbull, the sal
aried agent of the Chilian insurgents,
in reference to the escape of the
1tata from the custody Of the author
tiles of the United States, will soon be
carried out The friends of the Chilian
rebels are afraid of the discovery in
these kilograms of certain suggestions
to induce the commander of the rebel
Chilian cruiser Esmeralda to compel by
force the coaling of his steamer at Aca-
pulco, if he could not get it by other
means There are rumors that large
New York firm is implicated in the ne
gotiations with the Chilian insurgents,
just as the so-callcd Nitrate King"

ators, Dreyffuss & Ca, of Paris, are

People sometimes ask at what age
can we seat child in q chair, when put
him on his legs how old must he be be-
fore we teach him to walk? The an
swers are easy. He must not be made
to sit till he has spontaneously sat up
in his bed and has been able 70 hold his
seat. This sometimes happens in the
sixth or seventh month, sometimes
later The sitting posture is not with
out danger, even when he takes it him
self, Imposed prematurely upon him
it tires the backbone and may interfere
with the growth, so the child shoul6
never be taught to stand or to walk.
That is his affair, not ours Place him
on a carpet in a healthy room or in the
open air and let him play in freedom,
roll, try to go ahead on his hands or
feet, or go backward, which he will do
more successfully at first. 1t all grad
ually strengthens and hardens him.
Some day he will manage to get upon
his knees, another day to go forward
upon them and then to raise himself up
against the chairs. He thus learns to
do all he can as fast as he can and no
more.-Popular Science Monthly.

1t is most significant fact that En-
glish is largely replacing French as the
first foreign language to be learned in
the schools and colleges Travelling as
have recently done in South America
and Cuba as well as in Mexico, / have
been impressed with the contrast in
this respect Many times when 1 have
put questions in the streets to shop
keepers and police officers, the answers
to my Spanish have come in clear,
straightforward English such as is
never heard in the countries of the
South from natives. Mexican children
are learning English in the schools, and
their fathers are picking it up whenever
they have a chance to learn a new
word. There is a very strong prejudice
in the country against the incoming
horde OF Americans, but the natives are
learning to speak English as they have
never mastered French. This is one of
many signs showing that the United
States and Mexico are destined to have
closer and more harmonious relations
with each other in the future than in
the past. Letter.

A Horrible Hanging.

Albert Havenstine, the murderer of
VIM. Ashley and Hiram Rotten, was
hanged at Broken Bow, Neb., Friday
afternoon. When the trap was, sprung
Havenstine's body shot down six feet.
There was q snap and a groan, and the
body fell to the ground. The rope had
broken. Havenstine, half-unconscious,
was at once picked up by the sheriff
and his deputies and brought bacl, on
the gallows. The rope was doubled,
and the trap was again sprung. This
time his neck was broken, and death
was apparently painless.

Bad for Texas Farmers.

Additional particulars just received
of the terrific hail-storm near Gaines
vile, Tex, are to the effect that the
section damaged is about fifty miles in
length and from two to five miles in
width. The farmers have all lost their
entire possessions. The crops were de-
stroyed, and houses, fences and or
chards were laid waste by the wind in
every locality visited by the terrible
storm. Rabbits, birds and other small
animals were killed by the thousands
by the hail-stones, but no person is re-
ported as having been hurt. The total
loss will reach $500, 900.

SILVER IN ALABAMA.
Important Discovery In Pickens Count
In an Attempt to Dig n Well.

Important Discovery In Plckens County,
In an Attempt to Dig a Well.
The people of Pickcns county, Ala,
are greatly excited over the recent dis
covery of vein of galena containing
silver in very large quantities Experts
who have been in the vicinity this week
say the discovery will make a marvel
GUS revolution in a region that has
heretofore been simply an agricultural
country. The find was discovered in
an attempt to dig well in the north
ern portion of the county in what are
known as the Liberty Hills. Pickens
county is described in the geological
survey of the state as being the SOUTH
ern boundary of the coal measures Of
the state, and as marking the begin
ming of the formation of stratifed drift
The state geologist, DR.. Eugene A.
Smith, has declared it probable
that strata of mineral deposits
would be found underlying the
drift beds. Drinking water in
the region is mainly obtained
from bored artesian wells, as the
surface-drainage water is scanty in
quantity and poor in quality, and be-
cause the drift formation must be pierre
ed, and is from 200 to 800 feet in depth,
the attempt to procure water by dig
ging is seldom. made. The find of
galena and silver ore is near the recent
survey from Columb bus, Miss, to Tuska-
loosa, Ala, made by the Mobile and
Ohio Railroad Co.
