THE DICTATOR'S BLUFF.
BALMACEDA FURNISHES A STATE
MENT FOR THE PRESS.
Reports Circulated by the Rebels.
The Latest Happenings in Chile.

LONDON, June 2l.-President Balma-
ceda has sent the following dispatch to
Reuters Telegraph company, from San
tiago:
Surprise and disdain have been pro-
duced here by the false and calumnious
statements which the rebels publish in
the European press. The congress
lately elected here works regularly. 1t
has approved the acts of the government,
and invested it with extraordinary pow
ers, and has authorized it to contract
loans. Perfect order prevails. The
army is well disciplined and is actuated
by great esprit du corps. The govern
ment cannot be vanquished by the reb
els, who are only able to prolong the
struggle to enrich themselves out of the
nitrate deposits. They have under
taken no expedition against the govern
ment forces, and are completely dis
credited. The warships Lynch and Con-
dell have gone northwest. General
Stephan's division is here, after twice
crossing the snow-covered Andes. The
discipline of the troops is irreproach
able. British, French and German
commerce will be prejudiced by the reb-
els remaining at Tarapaca.
IQUIQUE, June 1.-THE amnesty pro-
posed by the American minister at San
tiago to Balmaceda was not accepted,
but the latter offered to entertain a
proposition for an arrangement, he indi-
eating it's basis. To this the Congress
sional party refuses to assent.
The armed transport Imperiale,. with
the torpedo cruisers Lynch and Condell,
landed party at Tocopilla yesterday,
which cut the state telegraph lines and
then re-embarked. Today the ships
made demonstration at Antofagasta,
similar to the demonstrations at Pisagua
and Iquique. No damage is reported.
The superior speed OF those ships ena-
bles them to keep clear of the Congress
sional ships.

Wales and Woman Scorned Responsible
for Giving 1t Publicity.
LONDON, June 1.-THE fact that in his
examination in the Cumming case, the
prince OF Wales was not asked whether
he divulged the secret of the precis,
while all other parties to the affair were
questioned on that point, is taken as
confirmation of the rumor that the
secret did actually owe its publicity to
the careless tongue of his royal highness.
The story is that the prince confided it
to Lady Brooks, who in turn revealed it
to friend OF hers, who happened to
have been scorned by Cumming, and
who at once saw in the episode an op-
portunity for revenge.
Several radical members of the COM
mons have decided to put a series of
questions to the government bearing
upon the responsibility which the Tran
by-Croft party incurred in concealing
Sir William Gordon Cummings offense,
and the question of military discipline
involved. II the replies are unsatisfac-
tory they will move an adjournment.
The municipal authorities of Forres,
In the vicinity of Sir William Gordon
Cummings seat, have decided to extend
festive welcome to Sir William on Sat-
urday, on the occasion of his return
home with his bride.

SOWING DRAGONS TEETH
RUSSIA BRINGING ABOUT HER OWN
FINANCIAL RUIN.
The Bankruptcy of the Empire Sure to
Follow the Expulsion of the Jews-Herr
Goldberger's Rude Experience.

BERLIN, June 1.-THE Berlin Associ-
ated Press correspondent today had
conversation with Herr Goldberger, the
well-known Jewish financier, who was
recently expelled from Russia. He went
from this city in the interest of bank
ing house with which he is connected,
having been furnished with special
consular pass Ny the Russian consul
general here. At st. Petersburg, M
Vishchnigradsky, the Russian minister
of finance, and other persons of high
standing showed the Berlin banker
special attention. But this did not
prevent the police of st. Petersburg
from inscribing upon his pass the words
"The Jew, Goldberger, is here on toler-
alton and under police supervision"
Herr Goldberger does not under
stand Russian and thought it
was some regular police annexation.
He learned differently when he reached
MOSCOW The. "prestaw" called upon
him and told him he must leave at
once. A hotel manager told him a few
roubles would fix it all right, but Gold
berger declined to pay blackmail and
left at once. He did not care to estab-
lish bank in a country where each po-
liceman had the power of levying black
mail.
Herr Goldberger described awful
scenes of expulsion which he had wit
messed at Moscow during his two days.
stay. Social standing and high position
he said, were OF no avail. None of the
accounts so far published tell the whole
story of misery and persecution, which
is simply indescribable. Contrary to
the accepted version, Goldberger says the
czar is we'll aware of the cruelties prac-
ticed; that he has always been radical
anti-Semite, and that his hatred of the
Jews has increased since the memorable
railway accident which happened upon
a line built by the Jew Won Polieskoff
Goldberger thinks Russia will not
only suffer from commercial disasters
sure to follow the expulsion of the Jews,
disasters which Russia with her great
resources might meet with impunity
but that these measures have brought
about feeling of insecurity among
Russian protestants and among numer-
ous foreigners residing in Russia, to
whose enterprise most OF the commercial
undertakings owe their existence. No
body knows whose turn is to come next,
and no one cares to risk his money or
work under the present state of barbaric
rage against everything foreign or nom
orthodox, and the consequence will be
that Russia, with all her agricultural
and mineral resources will sooner or
later be forced into the condition of alb
solute bankruptcy.

munds Act in Arizona.
PHOENIX, Ariz., June 11.-Chief JUS
tice Gooding, OF Arizona, has just de-
cided by overruling the demuriers in a
large, number of cases, that the Ed
munds act and the other acts of congress
leyeled at polygamy, adultery and un-
lawful cohabitation, apply to Ari-
zona and all the territories and
places under the exclusive jurisdiction
OF the United States, except the District
of Columbia; that the decision of the
supreme court of the District of Col
umbia is not in point in the territories,
as these acts, besides making unlawful
cohabitation a crime, also confer the
right of widows dover. The decision
is considered important and far-reach-
ing, especially as many of the territories
have acts abolishing dowers.

Mrs. NJ. A. NICK nley, mother of NJ.
K Mckinley, for. man of the Moline

able experience Sunday. which is told by
the Republican Journal as follows:
She hae been afflicted for about a year
and half with the entire loss of sight in
her righteye, brought on, as she believes,
be me glar. of the sun on the nay at San
Diego, Cal where she lived number
OF years. She noticed her sight failing
gradually, black streaks appearing before

sted in entirely shutting out the light.
This effected the other eye. and finally

worry over the prospect of being totally
blind made her sick. Finally, as she is a
firm believer in God ard His power O an.

that her sight might he restored.
Saturday night she was unable to sleep,
and CONTINUED in prayer over the matter
all night. Sunday morning she was
most aereeably astonished TO find that
she could discern objects in the room,
but did not dare to speak of it for fear it
might be imagination. However, at noon
she could see quite clearly. snd on put

Shattered Hopes.

All last week the sherifPs Office was
shrouded in veil of mystery. Everyone
connected with the Office was sworn to
absolute secrecy and an air of great
solemniiy prevailed all the place. The
cause for all this gradually leaked out
when it was whispered about tina. the
sheriff was laying for an attempt at jail
delivery which was the outcome of let
ter received BY that executive from a
prisoner within the walls to the effect
that plans tor jail delivery were being
speedily perfected. and that it might be
expected to occur any evening between
supper time and locking up time, and
further designated two windows. the bars
of which had been sawed almost through.
SO that things were almost ready to make
the attempt.
The sheriff in some way forgot the
cid adage that "a bird in the
hand is worth two in the bush, "
30 instead Of at once taking measures
to have the bars repaired, and thus frus-
trats the plans of bis birds. he played
ignorant Of the fact in order TO give them
a chance TO escape. that he might have
the satisfaction of catching at least some
of them. He accordingly notified the po
lice to be in readiness for call for assist
ance, art the outcome was awaited in
bresthless suspense. The fine working
of the case may be appreciated when it is
mentioned that even the prisoners inside
the Jail 'tumbled" that they were being
watched from outside and let the plans
drop, and the radiant hope that had beat
high in the bosoms of the sheriff and Po-
lice dropped with dull. sickening thud.
and their visions of glory have passed
away.
1t is supposed the bars 'tampered
with" have been repaired now, which
uron sober thought would seem to be q
wise precautionary measure.
