BURNED UP HALF A MILLION.
Louisville Has a Bis Blaze. Caused
 by Boiler ExpIosion.

LOUISVILLE. Kv., Oct 2s. By boil or explosion here one man was fatally hurt, several persons injured and near lv half a million dollars worth of property destroyed.
 Ats o'clock William F. Adams, a fireman at the electric-light plant of the Louisville Gas company, was throwing coal in the furnace when one of the nest of seven boilers let go: the shock in the vicinity was like an earth quake. Adams was thrown to tho ground with terrific force and received such internal injuries that he will die. The shed in which the Loilers were To- cated was completely demolished and pieces of iron and timber and showers of red hot coals were thrown in every direction.
 At one time 1t seemed that the Courier-J Journal building would cer- tainly be burned. The flow printers who were in the composing room left and reporters and editors who were on duty gathered their valua bles and pre- pared to escape, most of them actually leaving. But the wind was from the north and carried the host in the op- posite direction.

Like tho New Orleans Case.

LONDON, Oct. 2s.-The Post this morning says: The diplomatic tension between Chile and the United States has reached point where it may easily end in rupture. While the Chilean insurgents, having under taken the government of the country, are bound to accept responsibility for the recent events. which, if they had happened between two European States, would have resulted in war within twenty-four hours unless ample reparation was made, 1t may be hoped that President Harrison is inclined to admit in behalf of Chile those extenuating circumstances which she cannot well plead on her own account What the Washington government failed to effect in the New Orleans lynchers, the Chilean government may be powerless to per form in the case of the Valparaiso mob. It is always well for the strong to be merclful.

EGAN ORDERED TO ACT.
INSTRUCTIONS SENT TO HIM BY PRESIDENT HARRISON
Omesal order Co the American Minis- ger in Chile From the pepart-
 mont or State

SANTIAGO. Chile, Oct 29.-The fol- lowing is a copy of the telegram oy which the Presidents order was sent to Chile on Oct. 9:
 DEPARTMENT OF STATE, WAsHISGroN, D. C.. Oct. 93, 1s9l:-To Egsn, Aneri- can Minister, Santiago, Chile: lm- mediately upon receipt the informa- ton of the assaults made on the 1Gth inst. in the streets of valparaiso upon a number of American sailors belong ing to the United States man -of-war Baltimore, now in that harbor, the commander of that vessel, Capt. W. :. Schley, was directed to cause an i'm mediate and thorough inquiry to be made into the origin and incidents or that tragic affair and communicate the results simultaneously to this govern ment and to you. His report, under date of yesterday, has just been trans- mitted to this department by the Sec retary of the Navy, who advises me that copy of the report was forwarded by Capt. schley to you.
 You will observe that the board Of officers selected by Capt. schley to in vestigate this affair report that our sailors were unarmed and gave no provocation; that the assaults upon them were by armed men greatly SUI perior in numbers, and. as we must conclude, animated ip their bloody work by hostility to these men as sailors of the United States. You will also notice that the character of some of the wounds indicates that the pub lie police, or some of them, took part in the attack, and will also observe Al. 4l...-a xxvaf h. out any apparent fault arrested and for some time held by the authorities. The friendly efforts of a few of the public officers to give succor to our men furnishes the only redeeming in- cident of this affair.
 This cr,el work, so injurious to the United States, took place on the i6th inst, and yet no expression of regret or of purpose to make searching inquiry with view to the institution of proper proceedings for the punish ment of the guilty parties has been, so far as l am advised, offered to this government.
 You will at once bring to the atten- ton of the government of Chile the facts as reported to you by Capt. Schley and will inquire whether there are any qua flying facts in the posses son or that government or any ex- planation to be offered of an event that has very deeply pained the peo- pie of the United States, not only by reason of the resulting death of one of our sailors and the pitiless wounding of others, but even more as an appar- ent expression of an unfriendliness to- ward this government which might put in peril the maintenance of amica- ble relations between the two coun- tries. If the facts are as reported by Capt. Schley this government cannot doubt that the government of Chile will offer prompt and full reparation. You will furnish the foreign office a full paraphrase of this dispatch and re- port promptly to this government.
