following Germs:
The statu quo will be restored and
the guards and convicts will not be
molested on their return to the mines,
and the miners will use all ordinary
caution and honorable means to pre-

but none fatally: At first. nobody
appeared to be certain of just what was
the matter. On Sycamore street, near
the chamber of commerce, some one of
the excited throng there cried: 1.-THE
courthouse" Immediately there was
headlong rush in the direction of that
structure. Its foundation had been
said to be weak and every body seemed
to conclude that the massive pile had
collapsed.
The shock was felt more severely in
the southwest end of the city. Part of
the side wall of the Stock Yard hotel
was shaken off and the window lights
in several houses in the western Sec
ton of the town were broken. This is
the first shock felt in this vicinity for
several years It was much more pro-
nounced than the last.
The distinct report accompanying the
shock led many to suppose that pow

city had let go. The vibration at Hen

violent. Chairs were overturned and
several buildings are said to have
been wrecked. Reports from other

KILLED. So = o..
CALIAo, July 25.-The famous old
man of war Pensacola. of the United
States navy, has just arrived here
after an exciting run along the Chilian
coast. It brought the first news ore
thrilling accident at africa, Chilli, by
which five sailors of the Pensacola lost
their lives The steam launch belong
ing to the man of war; was blown up
In the harbor Of africa by the Gillian
torpedo boat Condell and every man
on board, five in number, were killed.
The attack took place the evening of
June !. The Condell is one of Balma-
'ceda's torpedo cruisers from the port of
Santiago and was on the lookout for
the ships of the insurgents. It stole
into the harbor of africa about o'clock
There was q heavy fog and objects at
q distance of 100 yards could not be
discerncd with any distinctness. The
steam launch had left the Pensacola on
the regular evening trip to the shore
and was making its way slowly when
suddenly those on the man of war saw
the little boat lifted completely out of
the water, as if subterranean
monster had risen up under
the launch and tossed it in the
mir. There was the dull echo of a
half-smothered explosion, and then
wreckage was scattered in every direc-
ton. Not q sound of a human voice
was heard, The quiet that followed
told plainly that the five men aboard
the launch had either been killed out
right or SO MANNED as to be unable to
make the condition known.
The search-light of the Pensacola
was brought into play, and at the same
instautant orders were given to lower
the boats. When the broad rays of
fash-light made specters against the
great curtain of fog the Condell was
discovered only q short distance
away. The Gillian cruiser had mis-
taken the launch for an insurgent boat
and had used a torpedo with deadly
effect. There was intense excitement
aboard both vessels for the next twen-
ty minutes. Signaling continued be-
tween the man of war and the
torpedo boat for some time, and
when the situation of affairs be-
came known on the Condell it's
commander dipped his colors and
sent his chief officers aboard the
Pensacola 1t then became known
that the explosion of the torpedo was
q stupid blunder on the part of the
cruiser. Such apologies as could be
offered were made, but the feeling

also brought the gratifying intelli-t
gence that he had done this in compli-
ment to the United States and at tho
instance of this country. While the
relaxation was described rs tempo
rary and intended by the car rs .
respite until he could consult with his
political advisers, there is no doubt that
it will lead to a permanent modifica-
ton of the oppressive orders of expul-
sion. The matter has been very deli
cately managed in its diplomatic bear
ings. Strictly speaking the action of tho
car in expelling the Jews was matter
of purely domestic concern, with which
neither the United States nor any
country had anything to do. A diplo-

light before the car. President
Harrison interested himself per-
sonally. Some time ago a dclcga-
ton of leading Jewish citizens headed
by Jesse Seligman, the New York
banker, and Oscar Straus, ex-minister to
Turkey, waited on him and he assured
them that the best efforts of the I'D
ministration would he used TO soften
the rigors which the Russian Jews
were enduring. Minister Smith sue
ceeded in bringing the subject to the
cars attention in a favorab light in
a personal message from President
Harrison. After the minister's de-
Parture renewed representations
were made by Consul Cen
eral Crawford. He has rep
resented the United States for
many years at st. Peters burg and is
great favorite with the Russians. To
his tact in great measure is due the
willingness of the car to suspend the
anti-Jewish policy of the empire.
Worldwide interest has been taken in
the sufferings of the Russian Jews and
it is tribute to the United States that
this influence has been able to &C
complish what all the rest of the world
could not do.
