EGAN AND THE JUNTA.

The American Minister Gives q Warning to
Gillian Authorities That Ii Promptly
Needed.
SANTIAGO. Chill, Nov. THE news
papers here have for several days been
publishing wild stories about con-
spiracy formed among the refugees at
the American legation to kill Gen.
Canto. A notice was circulated yester-
day calling for meeting of people in
the plaza to denounce the conspiracy.
Mr.. Egan, the United States minister.
informed the juuta that threats had
been made to attack the United States
legation and to capture the refugees
and he warned the junta that it would
be held responsible for such action.
Later in the day several thousand
men assem- led in the plaza and ap-
plauded several incendiary speeches in
which the supposed conspiracy and the
United States legation were denounced.
The junta upon receiving Mr.. Egan's
letter sent a troop of cavalry to guard
the United States legation and as the
meeting in the plaza closed the intend
snte published notice saying that the
stories of a conspiracy were devoid of
fondation. Serious trouble was doubt
less averted by this notice, although
the government did nothing to prevent
trouble until receiving Mr.. Egan's pro.

Not Guilty.
Los ANGELES, Cal, Nov. 5.-Judge
Ross. of the United States circuit court,
granted the motion of the defendants
to instruct the jury to return a verdict
Of not guilty in the case of the United
States against George A Bart and Ri
cardo Trumbull, who have been on
trial here for a week. charged with
fitting out the Gillian steamer Itata
with arms to cruise against the gov
eminent of Chill
The court grants the motion on two
points; first. that the indictment is de-
fective, being formed under the neu-
trality laws in not stating that state
of war existed in Chilli and that the de-
PENDANTS were belligerents and had
been recognized as such, and second,
the charges would not hold because
the statute contemplated a state of
war, also that a vessel coming to the
United States to get arms and carrying
them peacefully away was not fitting
out any expedition that had already
been set on foot in Chilli and was being
conducted from there and not from the
United States. This decision will also
result in the dismissing of the cases
against the vessel and her arms

eussEy.s PENSION REPORT.

The Assistant Secretary OF the IneerioR
Fnee His Annual Report.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-Assistant Sec
rotary Bussey, of the interior depart
ment, has filed with Secretary Noble
his annual report for the last fiscal
year. The assistant secretary has APP
pellate jurisdiction of all cases arising
under the pension laws, and his report
is confined to q review of the work of
the board of pension appeals under his
supervision. The report shows that on
January 1. 1891, there were 5,02S ap-
peals pending before the board. As
against 5,030 on July 1, 1891 In the
interim, however. there were j. 500 new
appeals fled, and. therefore, ]. S94 were
disposed of. OF the cases disposed of in
only 30 were the decisions of the PEN
sion Office reversed Mr.. Bussey points
out several defects, as he regards
them. in pension legislation. and makes
q number of recommendations looking
to their correction. He asks that con-
gress be requested to enact a law that
shall expressly authorize the depart
ment to treat all improper. illegal and
excessive payments OF pensions,
whether caused by fraud or by mistake.
as prepayment to be charged against

ments within the discretion of the sec
retary Heretofore, he explains. in the
absence of a clear legal provision on
the subject, the government having no
authority to plead a past overpayment
as an Offset to current payments OF
pensions, has been compelled to submit
to serious losses of money, which hav-
-, NJ
to claimants or to pensioners. were ir-
recoverable under any established rule
of departmental practice.
Mr.. Bussey calls attention to the first
clause of section 8, of the act of June
81, 1890. and says that his attention has
been drawn to a number of cases
wherein, according to the law. the
claimant has been necessarily denied q
pension because the soldier on whose
death the claim was based, although
serving ninety days or more in the
army or navy" as shown by the evil
dence, had not been '.honorably dis
charged" prior to death, but had died,
while for instance on individual fur
Tough and absent from the technical
line of duty in the service. 1t seems,
he says, that both the spirit and the
object of the act of June 81, 1890, would
be emphasized and subserved by an
amendment of this section that would
be applicable to such cases of depend
ence and distress
He also suggests that in cases of 'in-
sane, idiotic or otherwise helpless chill
dren" of deceased pensioners, the pen
sionable age limit to be abolished, SO
as to admit such children at any date
on the pension roll The assistant
secretary also recommends that per-
sons who served in the confederate
army, and afterwards enlisted in the
navy of the United States. be given the
same pensiona BILE rights as are accorded
those who served the confederate cause
and then enlisted in the army of the
United States.
