HOSTILITY Is BITTER.
American Action During the War
Is RrOOded Over.

VALPARAISO, Chill, Sept. 90.-Dur-
ng the month which has elapsed since
the overthrow of Preside Mt Balmaceda
and the establishment of provisional
government by the revolutionists, or the
congressional party, affairs in Chilli
have been remarkably quiet. The
principal excitement which has Oe-
Cured was caused by the suicide of the
late President Balmaceda. The feeling
against the late president was bitter in
the extreme, and there can be no doubt
as to what his fate would have been if
he had been captured by the opposition
party.
There is something else which is the
chief subject of interest III Valparaiso
at the present time. and this is the
hostile attitude displayed toward the
United States government, and particu-
larly against the official representative
of the country here, by the revolutionary
party. which is now in power, and also
by the foreign residents Of Chill, who
were strong supporters of the reyolu-
tiOniSts during the recent struggle. This
feeling is perhaps strongest in Nalpa-
raise, though there are also numerous
Indications of it in Iquique ana other
northern ports which were occupied by
the revolutionary army few months
ago.
The seizure of the steamer Itata was
the first incident which caused the i'll
feeling of the revolutioniSts, and they
never would have surrendered the
steamer had it not been for the pres
ence of strong American naval force.
The next thing which occurred TO in
crease the ill-feeling against America
was the cutting of the cable line of the
Central and South American company
near lqmque. The work was done
under the supervision of Capt Schley,
OF the Baltimore. who directed that the
cable should be cut beyond the distance
of marine league from the shore. The
Cocllrane and the HauScar, two ships of
the revOlutionlsts' navy. were also pres
ent at the time, but the Baltimore was
fully prepared for any resistance they
might offer.
The Chilians have forgotten that rev.
OlutiOniStS were sheltered at the Amer
lean legation at the time when they
were refused asylum by the ministers
OF other foreign countries particularly
by the minister from Great Britain, and
yet during the entire struggle it was
England and English representatives
and English residents in Chill who were
regarded with sufficient reason as the
strongest supporters of the revolution
lists. The methods of reconstruction
which are being pursued by the present
government in Chilli are hardly in ac-
cordance with the Strictest ideas of
peace. Between 1000 and 5000 persons
who were supporters of Balmaceda are
now in prison awaiting trial, and there
are more than 10000 others, including
Dearlyseverv one who was known to
have been connected with the late gov
ernment in ali official capacity, whom
the present government leaders have
announced an intention TO arrest

the arrest of Thomas E. Chace, charged
with opium smuggling:
"A scheme of smuggling opium into

THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
Story of Express Messenger Muir.
phys afes Unonened.

MILWAUKEE, Nov. 12.-EXpress Mes
senger j. c. Murphy reported at the
managers headquarters this morning
and gave his experience. The train
was running at full speed, when sud
denly the messenger heard shot fired,
and he locked and bolted the doors of
the express ear. He had hardly done
this before the train began to slacken
speed. and soon it came TO a full stop.
Some one came to the door of the eX-
press car and tried to open it. Finding
it locked, he called out to the messenger
to open the door. Murphy refused. and
his helper, Charles Ii. Cook, re-
fused to do so. Then the firing be-
gan again outside and another demand
to open the car was made. Murphy
again refused to do so. There was an
other interval of silence, then quick
retreat from the car. followed by a
deafening explosion, which partly de-
mOlished one of the car doors. a man
appeared at the breach and demanded
admission, but Murphy stood firm. In
an instant another explosion occurred
and the other door of the car WAS blown
in. This explosion was of sufficient
force to eXtinguish the lights in the
car and to throw down the lighter
freight.
could recover from the effects of the
shock, three men with Winchesters en-
tered the car, forcing the engineer TO go
before them. They ordered the mes
senger to give up the keys TO the safe
and al the muZZle of q revolver he did
so. In a like manner the engineer was
forced to open the local safe containing
the money and valuables consigned from
Chicago and points between Chicago
and La Crosse. Murphy told the rob
berS he did not have the keys to the
through safes, but when threatened
with instant death if he refused to com
ply with the robbers request, handed
them over. The robbers then compelled
the trainnen to assist in throwing these
treasure boxes from the car.
Followed by the three robbers with
their reyOlvers cooked, the four train
men were compelled TO walk up the
track about a mile, and then, when they
returned, were told to get back OH the
train and pull out, which they did at
once. As the train moved Off six men
were seen standing over the two safes
by the side of the train. When Frank
Vile was reached a telegram was sent
to Western Union junction fer posse,
and at the same time telegram to Mil
waukee was responded to by the chief
of police, who sent posse south on
special train.
The treasure boxes were found where
they fell, unopened, though there were
indications that efforts had been made
to burst the doors. These were placed
under guard, and sent to Milwaukee by
the morning express. Skillful detect
ives are on the track of the robbers.

SECESSION IN BRAZIL.
London News Unreliable Rio
Grande do Sui.


WAcHINGToN, Nov. Authorization
has been received at the department of
state to the effect that in three towns of
the Brazilian province of Ria Grande
do Sui the military have joined the
citizens in opposing the domination
of the Fonseca government.
The bureau of American republics
has from semi-Of1icial sources The fol-
! lowing information in regard to the
present condition of affairs in Brazil:
| The Geographic and other news which
comes from or via London is often en-
tirely false. and generally distorted
and magniiied. British jealousy of
the increasing influence of the
| United States in Brazil and
the fear of losing commercial supremacy
in that country, SO long and so prOhta-
! bly, maintained under the empire, ale
! the motives which inspire the false and
| alarming dispatches concerning polit-
| zeal disturbances in Brazil. In Rio
! Grande do Sui, the most southern dis
trict in Brazil. and bordering on Uru-
! quay and the Argentine republic, the
! situation is peculiar, and its position as
| an Independent state in consequence
J of successful movement for secession
! would be extremely difficult and full of
| peril between the mother country and
| Uruguay. with which country she
has been in continual disputes
! and whose people are of a differ
ent and almost hostile race.
! Between them ancient jealousies and
/ chickering's have never become extinct
! The position of the state would be pre-
J cisely that of Texas should she attempt
/ 10 maintain an Independent. existence
/ between the United States and Mexico
About One-third of the population of
| Rio Grand do Sui is of German descent.
| Of whom, perhaps, $4,000 have not vet
been naturaliZed as Brazilian citizens.
| A gentleman thoroughly acquainted
with this German population says that
among them the national feeling is
much stronger than state attachment
and that they are entirely Brazilian IN
! their sentiments and aspirations. The
! foregoing reasons would lead to the
/ conclusion that no secession movement
can be permanently successful in Rio
Grande do Sui. There Is a tendency
among the smaller states to merge them
selves in their larger nelghbOrs. ana a
clause of the new constitution. pre-
| pared with knowledge of that ten
dencY, provides for such action oil the
part of the states.
The Brazilian minister has a number
of messages in which no mention is
made of political disturbances or seces-
sion movements, and the United States
minister at Rio has not considered the
situation and events there to be suffi-
GENTLY serious to justify him i'll sending
a cablegram to the department of state.

nature as on account of the charm of
manner and the wonderful tact which
distinguished her. Mrs. Polk was q
bold innovator. When her husband
became president social circles through
