CAUSE AND PROGRESS OF THE
GILLIAN WAR.

CHILIAN WAN.
The struggle to which the battle of Val
paraiso is likely to put an end broke out
early in 1891, in consequence of feeling
in the Chilian congress that President
Balmaceda was guilty of demonstrations
al acts. A junta was therefore organ
lied with headquarters at Iquique; and
to this provisional government several
of the northern provinces, embracing
about one-third of the area of Chill gave
their adhesion. Most of the Chilian
navy also supported the Congressional
party. There were few armed conflicts.
These were mostly naval, and occurred
in or near Valparaiso harbor. Balmace-
da's torpedo boats attacked and sunk the
insurgent cruiser Blanco Encalada; and
later made an unsuccessful attempt to
sink the cruiser Magdelanes in Chan
aral bay. This latter vessel then visited
Valparaiso and after an inconclusive en-
gagement with the torpedo boats with
drew.
These events occurred mostly in April.
The incident which more than anything
else drew the attention of the people in
the United States to this war was the
Itata affair. An insurgent steam trans
port, the Itata, was seized in San Diego
harbor, on May 5th, by United States
government marshal. for violating the
neutrality laws of this country in OBJ
tanning warlike supplies. The United
States government was still further de-
fed by the escape of the Itata next day.
Pursuit by United States naval vessels
was Immediately ordered and begun.
When she reached Iquique, however, on
June 4, the vessel was quietly surren-
dered to the naval representatives of
this country in that port, and sent back
to California for the law to take it's
course.
The efforts of the American minister
to Chill to mediate in this unhappy
trouble were partially successful, but
finally failed of result. Certain other
overtures to the Washington government
were made by agents of the Junta to the
American minister in Paris, who inform
ally listened thereto and reported the
case to Washington.
Resort was then had to force once
more, and the insurgents took the ag-
gressive. Their forces made a descent
on the coast of Quintero Bay, few
miles north of Valparaiso, last week,
Thursday, and they advanced southwark
Immediately, encounteling vigorous OPP
position. Fighting lasted from Friday
untir Tuesday.
Valparaiso itself is situated on deep,
fine bay, and constitutes the most i'm
portant seaport on the Pacific coast of
South America. 1t is the capital city of
Chill and has a population exceeding
100000. The commercial part of the
city, of course, is near the waters edge,
but fine villas adorn the steep slopes and
overlook the harbor. Vina del Mar, a
particularly beautiful suburb of Valpa-
Taiso, was the scene of the final battle.
Valparaiso was bombarded by Spanish
fleet in 1866.

Gen. Alexander Hamilton, u. S. ",
was present at our late Centennial as the
special representative of Gen. John Pal
mer, Commander-in-C Chief, G. A. r. He
writes an interesting letter to the Sunny
side Press, paper printed at Tarrytown,
N. Y. He conveys an admirable thought
in connection with his story of the days
doings, which we copy, as follows

1t was learned Monday, says a New
York despatch, that determined effort
is to be made to break the will by which
Mrs. Edward f. Searles bequeathed
solely to her second husband the thirty
or more millions left her by her first hus-
band, Mark Hopkins. Twenty-one rela-
tives by blood of the dead woman have
combined with her adopted son, Timo-
thy Hopkins, of San Francisco, to con-
test her will, on the ground that undue
influences were exerted upon her to
make her husband her sole legatee. 1t
will be claimed besides that she was not
in sound mental condition when she ex-
ecuted the will. Timothy Hopkins, it is
said, has refused an offer of S., 600, 900 to
withdraw his opposition to the probate
of his adopted mothers will, and will,
Sept 18th, file his claims.

A dispatch from Sioux Falls, S. D., re-
ports that 1000 square miles of rich
farming lands in Faulk county are black
with smouldering ashes, and hundreds
of thousands of bushels of grain and
tons of hay have gone up in smoke. The
fire occurred Friday evening and was the
worst ever known in Dakota. No loss of
life is reported, but 1000 people are said
to be homeless. A spark from thresh-
ing machine at Faulkton ignited the dry
stubble,

1t appears that hereafter weddings will
be as distinctive color functions as any
entertainment on the list, says the HluS
trGted american. This popular decision
has been made evident at number of
handsome nuptial ceremonies of late,
and not inconspicuous in the list is the
oft-described marriage of Miss Forbes
Leith in London. Hers was unmistak-
ably yellow wedding, with some points
of decorating worth noting. All the
doorways were draped with amber tinted
India tissues, the mantels and mirrors
were imbedded in golden daisies and
feathery grasses, while the windows
everywhere were latticed across with gar
lands of yellow roses and buds woven
with ropes of smilax. Hangings and Or
lamentations of every sort carried out
this leading color, the only thing white
being the bride, under huge snowy and
fragrant wedding bell. Strangely
enough, this, with us,very ordinary floral
piece, is a complete novelty on the other
side, and excited much comment and ap-
proval upon its introduction.

Mondays dispatches from Washington
state that S4S1, $50 of Al per cent bonds
were continued at per cent, making a
total to date of S23, ,221, $50. This leaves
about S27, 900, 900 Al per cents outstand-
ing. Secretary Foster believes that be-
tween twenty million and twenty-five
million A per cents will be presented for
redemption. This will be entirely salts
factory to the department, the Secretary
says, as it would force that much money
into circulation at time when there is
great need of it in moving the crops,
The disbursement of this sum of money
will not embarrass the Treasury Depart
ment, as there is S1O6,OOO,OOO available,
including disbursing officers balances
and exclusive of the one hundred million
gold reserve "a circular will be issued
September I'd, extending the time for
continuing the bonds" This gives the
lie direct to the Democratic and Mug
wump papers that have been shrieking
themselves hoarse over an alleged def
cheney in the Treasury.
