to pull through. 1 think that the treat
ment that l received at their hands was an
outrage on an American citizen"
Apropos of the advance upon Santiago
from Coquimbo, the rumor of which has
been telegraphed over the country, L have
1t from good authority that the advance will
not be made from Couuimbo, but probably
from a southern point. In this campaign
the insurgents will rely upon large num-
Der of volunteers joining their army as it
moves toward the capital, for reports to the
contrary Notwithstanding, they cannot pos
sibly muster more than Il, 900 men for the
preliminary attack, against which army
will be pitted the entire force Of Govern
ment troops in Southern Chile, including
the armies at Valparaiso and at Santiago.
CONCERNING THE TERRITORY.
Huasco is partially surrounded by a
Gordon of troops divided into three
divisions. The table-like plateaus of the
valley of the Coquimbo each hold an army
of men, stretched out in long lines so as to
cover as much territory as possible. In the
valley and commanding the water stations
and scattered along the inland roads are de-
tachments of troops and the sandy hills
blossom with the tents of the army. The
country back of Coquimbo is something
similar in its topography TO the valley of
Huasco. The country is peculiar for its
step-like plains which lie one above the
other, forming a natural position for the
army which may be considered impregnable.
The Government troops held a strong
position on the lower plains, and an attempt
to dislodge them was made without success.
Much to the astonishment of the opposition
forces this position was abandoned
and the Government army withdrawn to the

MRS. POLK is NO MORE.
THE RELICT OF THE TENTH PRESI-
DENT OF THE REPUBLIC

Dies in the Possession of Her Faculties
Exhaustion Incident to Old Age Causes
Her Death-Her Husbands Strange Will
May Complicate Property Matters.
NASHVILLE, Aug. 14.-Mrs. James K.
Polk, widow of the tenth President of the
United States, breathed her last at 7:3O
o'clock this morning, her intellect being
unclouded to the end. Mrs. Polk had been
in perfect health until last Wednesday
evening, when, on returning from short
drive, she was taken suddenly i'll, from
which attack she never:rallied. The cause
of her death was simply exhaustion, result
ing from old age.
Mrs. Polk was born September 4, 1903, at
Murfreesboro. She was married to Mr..
Polk when still in her teens, and had lived
continuously in Nashville, except when in
Washington during the Congressional ca
reer of her distinguished husband and while
mistress of the White House. For the past
30 years she has lived in seclusion, and for
years nothing was heard of her except now
and then stray newspaper paragraph.
President Polk left very large estate at
the time of his death. The Nashville home
farm at Athens, Tenn, his former home,
and several plantations in Louisiana. The
estate was kept together tolerably we'll until
the Civil War, when nearly everything was
destroyed or lost. Mrs. Polk's income kept
dwindling down until half dozen years
ago, when she found herself well nigh pen.
niless. She still owned the Polk mansion,
but it brought no revenue and required
money to maintain it. When bill was in
troduced in Congress to grant the widow of
President Lincoln pension of So, 900 year
it lacked one vote in the Senate to secure
its passage. That was the vote of Senator
Howell E. jackson, of Tennessee. He
offered to vote for the bill provided it was
so amended as to give annual pensions of
$4,000 to Mrs. Polk and to the widow of
President Tyler, as well as Mrs. Lincoln,
and after good deal of oratory the bill be-
came law. Since that time Mrs. Polk had
lived comfortably on this pension.
President Polk was a statesman, and
lawyer of great ability, but he probably
left the queerest will that was ever pro-
bated, or rather was ever left to be pro-
bated, by an intelligent man. Everything
was given to his wife, and at her death to
be turned over ''To the most deserving
member of the family bearing the name of
Polk, ," the decision to be made bv the State
Legislature. The nearest relative until re-
Gently was State Treasurer Polk, of Tennes-
see, to whom it was supposed the estate
would go. It will be remembered that
few years ago he became defaulter to
large amount and fled the country, finally
dying in Mexico. His dishonesty cut him
and his family off, and just how the matter
will be settled is now mystery. There are
no other deserving members of the family
bearing the Polk name, and now that Mrs.
Polk is dead, the court will have to decide
the matter. 1t is not believed that the
document will stand legal test.

AFTER ALIMONY.

Mrs. McNeIl Trying to Find Out How Much
Her Husband Is worth-His Brother
Averse to Saying Much About the Firms
Business.
The testimony taken before Marshall
Reno, commissioner in the proceedings of
Mrs Margaret Mcneil against James Nc
Neil for alimony, pending their divorce suit,
relative to the financial standing of Mr.. Nc
Neil, in order to enable the court to Judge

ings by Attorneys W. W. Thompson and
T. NJ. Marshall, and Mr.. Mcneil by J. s.
Ferguson. Mr.. Mcneil was not present,
and the plaintiff did not know of his where
abouts. Constable Morris, who was given
the subpoena to serve, could not find him,
and Thomas Mcneil, his brother and part
ner in business, refused to tell where he is.
Mr.. Mcneil, the defendant, is member OF
the firm of James Mcneil & Brother,
foundrymen.
At the hearing Thomas Mcneil testified
that his brother had one-half interest in
the business. He would not, however, give
any information about the business until an
order of court was obtained directing him
to do So He then testified that last year
the firm did business of from $780, to
100000. Their net profits were S10, 0,175, of
which one half went to James Mcneil.

buildings about $4,000. The leaseholds are
also valuable.

CRUELTY TO A CHILD
Gets a Frenchman With a German Name
Into Trouble.

Gets a Frenchman With a German Name
Into Trouble.
Agent O'Brien, of the Humane Society,
yesterday made an information before AL
derman Donovan, charging Felix Vonheit-
ger, Frenchman, with cruelty to,children.
The wife of the defendant also made an in
formation against him. charging him with
assault and battery.
Vonheitzer lives at Four Mile Run, and
is an employe at the pipe mill, Second ave-
nue.. Six months since he married pretty
young woman. The latter had a child three
months old at the time of the marriage.
According to the informations and the per-
sonal investigations of Agent O'Brien,
there was considerable unhappiness after
the marriage. It is stated that q short time
ago Vonheitzer threw the child from a win
dow down to the ground. The child rolled
little to one side and fell into cellar pit,
suffering considerable. injury. Last Satur-
day the defendant threw the child out of
door, and then severely choked his wife and
beat her.
From the statements made by the neigh
bors to Agent O'Brien, Vonheitzer fire.
quently beat his wife and was constantly
abusing the child, from the effect of which
it is thought, the child is in serious con-
dition. The wife of Vonheitzer stated that
one time her husband agreed to bury the
child if the mother would allow him to kill
it. A number of other instances of cruelty
have been cited.
The defendant was committed to Jail for
hearing on both charges on Monday.

movement of the European settlers in the
South American Republic, for upon the ac-
tion of selfish spectators more results de-
pend than are visible on the surface of af-
fairs.
There is feeling of indignation rife
among the aristocracy of Eastern Chile. 1t
is due TO bitterness of sentiment regarding
the Vaccinations of the aforesaid specu-
lators and has been dormant during the
noise of battle only, paradoxically, to
awaken when the storm lulls. The ami
mostly may be said to have originated
among the supporters of Balmaceda, and
is one of the most formidable levers in the
hands Of the Government party by which
they expect to overturn the revolutionary
movement.
PLENTY OF ENGLISH.
Some years ago, SAYS the rumor, sundry
wealthy and ambitious Englishmen with
titles fore and aft, came to Valparaiso and
sought the acquaintance of the nobility of
Chile. The English noblemen and capital
/, ist seemed TO find the society of the Chilean
blUe-blOods exceedingly congenial and as
months and years rolled by the consign-
ments of lords and squires increased to such
to specElats on inducing Congress to adopt
a measure not altogether different from our
California anti Chinese bill.
AT first the English mobiles and capitalists
were apparently not at all interested in the
business opportunities which presented
themselves daily, but were content TO tempt
Dame Fortune in no other way than at the
card tables of the clubs at Santiago and
Valparaiso.
The European contingency, however,
warmed its way into the confidence of
Chile's moneyed and influential men, and
finally became hand and glove with the Gov
ernment's trusted officials. During the
progress of events the contingency casually
mentioned the fact that the British settlers
would like to venture few pounds toward
developing some of Chile's numerous re-
sources and limited the nitrate fields might
prove a profitable investment. They
spoke in glowing terms of England's
commercial wealth and prated of
