THE ETATA'S ESCAPE
The Thrilling Experience of a
Deputy Marshal.
THE CHARLESTON TO PURSUE HER
Attorney General Miller on the Legal Aspect
of the Case-The Robert and Minnie Is
Ont Of Sight.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-THE Chronicles
special from San Diego gives Deputy Mar
shall Spaulding's story of his adventures
on the Etata. He said Wednesday after
noon at 5 80 boat came from shore bring
ing the first mate, surgeon and two passen-
gers. The latter had a conversation with
the captain for five minutes. 81 was sur
prised to find the Etata making for the
ocean under full head of steam. l was
invited into the captains cabin and he and
the passengers exhibiting revolvers told
Spauiding they had contraband goods on
board. This is life or death with me-
said the captain. He then called two of
the crew and they stood guard near the
door, armed with revolvers and rifles. He
and the passengers went out telling me if
left the cabin or attempted to give q sign
or Jump overheard they would not be re-
sponslble for what happdned. About this
time four steel cannons were lifted out of
the hold and fastened in position on the
upper deck and loaded. A few minutes
later the captain came back and informed
me L was to be put off in a
boat from the pilot boat at Ballast
point. was then led on deck, followed by
armed men. On reaching the bridge, saw
on deck below one hundred Chilians all
armed to the teeth and in uniform. asked
the priest If he was going to guide the ship
out. The captain spoke up quickly,
No. and exhibiting revolver, added.
This is going to guide it After 1 was
lowered into small boat, the italia passed
out of the bay headed north.
"While was prisoner my captors were
very careful to say nothing that would re-
veal their plans, except that the captain
gave me his name and address and said he
would go directly to Valparaiso.
Two deserters from the Etata were
found in San Diego to-day. They state posi-
lively that the war ship Esmeralda accom-
panied the Etata as far north as Cape st.
Lucas and is awaiting her return in order
to get provisions and coal. 1t is also said
that Captain Manzeam is only employed to
navigate the ship and the real commander
is native Gillian. A resident of this city
claims to have seen corvette flying the
Gillian flag pass north yesterday. The
United States steamer Omaha saw nothing
of the vessel.

must apply to and absolutely decide all con-
tentlon between the two countries as far
the waters of Behring are concerned. In
the opinion of the President Lord Sails
bury is wholly and strangely in error in
making the following statement: Nor do
they (the advisers of the Presidency rely
on justification Of the seizure of British
ships in the open sea. Upon
the contention that the interests of
the seal fisheries give the United States
government any right for that purpose,
which, according to international law, it
would not otherwise possess.
1.-THE government of the UnitedStates has
steadily held just the reverse of the posi-
ton Lord Salisbury imputes to it. It holds
that the ownership of the islands upon
which the seals breed; that the habit of the
seals in regularly resortiDg thither and
rearing their young thereon; that their
going out from the islands in search of
food and regularly returning thereto,
and al the facts and incidents of
their relation to the islands. give to
the United States property interest
therein; that the property interest was
claimed and exercised by Russis; that
England recognized this property interest,
so far as recognition is implied by abstain
ing from all interference with it during the
whole period of Russia's ownership and
during the first nineteen hears of the
sovereignty of the United Strtes. 1t is yet
to be determined whether the lawless in
trusion of Canadian vessels in 1886 and
subsequent years has changed the law and
equity of the case heretofore prevailing"

The Coke Region Strike.

ScoTTDALE, Pa, May THE monotony
was broken to-day by the burning of coal
tapple at the Mutual plant of the Frick
company, which crippled its operations.
The officials charge the strikers with setting
it on fire. Tonight a report reached here
that deadly explosion occurred in Adel-
aide shaft, but this the company denied.
Evictions to-day were uneventful. Sensa-
tional stories of the new men at More
wood who refused to work being imprisoned
and guarded, are denied by the officials of
the company, and no verihoation can be
had.
a great number of foreigners, principally
Italians, continue to arrive every day. 1t
is estimated there are nearly four thousand
men working in different plants. The
strikers, however, still contend they will
win. The operators say they were un-
willing to use the last and most deadly
weapon against strikers labor importa-
ton, but that once begun, they will carry it
through, and unless they return to work it
looks as if $4,000 men still idle in the region
will be forced from their work, homes. and
even the region. The aggregate loss of the
strike is estimated at between 81, SOC, 900
and s., 600 600 so far.

A HORRIBLE MURDER
A Man Found i'm the River Near
Denver.
GoULD's woULD-BE SLAYER
Many Mexican Families at Ell Paso Rendered
Homeless by the Floods-Eloped
for Salt Lake.

DENVER, May 7.-TSpecial telegram to
THE HERALD. THE body of man was
found in the Platte this morning in an ad-
vanced stage of decomposition. The
clothes on the body had become caught in
some piling along the river above the
Nineteenth street bridge, and had evidently
been held there for several days. Traces
of bloody struggle were found on the
bridge, and more blood was found on a path
from the bridge up the stream, where the
body had been thrown into the water. The
body has evidence of having been terribly
beaten and possibly choked. From
papers found in the pockets it
is supposed the mans name
was Ferdinand Kreis Tonight further
sensation was caused by the discovery of
poison in the remains. This leads to the
theory that Kreis is not the mans name,
but that the papers were put in his pocket
after his death and the body beaten up to
hide another case of poisoning.

Escape of the Steamer italia.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, May About 5 30
o'clock last evening, the Gillian steamer
italia lifted her anchor and quietly steamed
out into the ocean, carrying with her Dep
uty United States Marshal Spencer, who,
so far as now known, is still on board The
departure of the italia was not unexpected,
though it was not supposed she would
leave as soon as she did. Marshal Gard
was not aware the captain of the italia had
any intention of disregarding his authority,
for he left for Port Iona in launch lust
an hour ahead of the steamer and had
passed the point and proceeded some dis
lance out to sea before he could have been
aware thu italia was following him. The
marshaPS errand on his second trip
was to seize the schooner Robert
and Minnie, anywhere she might
be found in the open sea outside
Of Mexican Jurisdiction, as a piratical
craft. Just after midnight this Thursday
day morning Marshal Gard and party re-
turned from outside and reported that the
schooner Robert and Minnie had completely
disappeared. a deputy marshal who was
placed on small boat at the entrance of
the harbor to watch for DEVELOPMENTS,
reported when the italia started out Pilot
Dill was sandwiched between two rows of
Gillian armed forces, while four cannon
guarded the bow and stern of the steamer
He reports at least eighty Chilians were
drawn up in line on the decks, showing the
vessel while in port was plentifully sup
piled with men, arms and ammunition.
The deputy reports that when the steamer
left the harbor she steamed north toward
San Clementa.

Charles &. Flint on CHILEAN Affairs.

NEW YORK, May Charles R. Flint,
head of the South American shipping house
of Flint & Co., smiled when asked is it was
true his firm and that of W. r. Grace &
Co. were interested in prolonging the
Gillian revolution. NO. said Flint,
''that story as far as our house is con-
cerned, we are not in it. don't believe there
is any foundation for the belief that any
commercial house is interested in prolong
ing the revolution in Chilli. 1t is of course
to the interest of every house, having bust
ness with Gillian ports that the disturbance
should be over as soon as possible"
"How about the shipments of arms which
your house is said to have made?''
II do not care to discuss private affairs
in the newspapers. If l have made any
such shipments it is matter of private
business. The constitutional government
of Chill is on friendly terms with the
United States and it is perfectly in order
for any commercial house to make ship
ments to any recognized constitutional gov
ernment OF course, if any vessel is to be
sent out with arms for the insurgents, they
not having been recognized as beligerents,
it would be in violation of the neutrality
laws. But the shipment of arms to con-
stitutional government is just as lawful as
the shipment Of provisions"

The President at PendIeIon.

PENDLEToN, May 7.-On the way from
Portland today the weather was beautiful
while the presidential train was passing
through the picturesque valley of the Col
umbla river. visit was paid to Multno
man falls. a brief stop was also made at
the Dalles, where the party received an
enthusiastic welcome. At Colilo, the Presi
dent visited the salmon canning establish
ment and was presented with large box
OF salmon caught this morning. The party
arrived at Pendleton at $40 O'Clock this
afternoon with cordial reception.
Before reaching Pendleton a short stop
was made at Umatilla junction, which
place has the distinction of being the only
point visited that allowed the occasion to
pass without recognition. Few people
were at the station, and the President
stepped out on the rear platform to greet
them, but they made no demonstration
whatever. AT Pendleton the presence of a
large band Of Indians, gaudily attired and
headed by chief carrying the American
flag, gave picturesque coloring te the re-
ceptlon. After a brief address by the
President and postmaster general. the
chiefs of the Cayuses and of the Umatillas
made speeches. The former took occasion
to complain of the allotmtment. and the
Umatillas would continue friendly TO the
government.

THE BELLICOSE BOERS
They Are Preparing to Raise a
Force of Men
South Africa-The British are Preparing
to Oppose Them.

LONDON, May 7.-Speaker Peel an
nounced in the commons to-day the con-
viction and sentence of Captain Varney.
Goschen said the house would consider the
matter Tuesday next.
Replying TO question in regard to the
reported Boer 'trek' preparing for the in
vasiou of Mashonaland, Manicaland and
other South African territory for the pur-
pose of establishing the so-called Republic
Of the North, the war secretary intimated
troops were being sent to British Bechuna-
land to oppose the proposed ''trek''. This
announced movement of Beers and init
mated counter movement of British troops
In Bechunaland seem to be the prelude to
another little war; in South Africa.
1t is understood the force which the
Beers intend to assemble is 900 men. It
will require many more British troops
than are now available in South Africa to
make any practical stand against this force
as the Beers are dead shots and capable of
suffering the most severe hardshlps with
out complaint,

Over Rumors that the Coke Companies Are

P1TTsBURG, May IA Scottdale. Pa,
special says The labor leaders are greatly
agitated to-day over the information they
say they have that the coke companies are
holding new men brought here who refused
to work under surveillance and will not
permit them to leave the works. They say
about fifty men quartered IN houses at
Central and nearly that many at one of
the Leisenring. The men will not work,
they say, neither can they leave on &C
count of the armed guards who turned
their rifles at them when they try to get
away. The coke company when asked if
such measures were being resorted to,
made positive denial

Peru Wants Reciprocity.

CHICAGO, May "A Washington special
says: Peru wants reciprocity with the
United States. The new minister, Mr.
Solar, is now in New York, but will come
to Washington to present his credentials,
soon after President Harrison returns
Though he comes as the regular accredited
minister, it is understood Solar is really on
a special mission to negotiate a reciprocity
arrangement with the United States.
Closer trade relations with the United
States are important to Peru. 1t is the
only South American country besides Bra
Iii which produces sugar in large auanti-
ties, so it is important to Peru that it in
sures a lasting free market for this in the
United States 1t has also growing ex-
port trade in hides. These products will
form the basis of concessions to be made to
the United States. A reciprocity arrange
ment between Peru and the United States
will be likely to give the same privileges to
all citizens of the United States who are
developing the mining and other industries
OF that country.

Escape of the Etata,

WASHINGTON, May 7.--Attorney General
Miller this afternoon made public the sub
stance of the correspondence relating to
the insurgent vessel Etata and the schooner
Robert and Minnie. He refused to give
out the full text of the correspondence.
The information given by the attorney
general agrees substantially with that re-
ceiyed in the press dispatches. The repre-
sensations upon which the orders were
originally given to detain the Robert and
Minnie were made by the CHILEAN minister
and were to the effect that he had informa-
ton that the neutrality laws were being vio-
lated. The attorney general refused to say
what further steps will be taken in the
matter since the escape of the two vessels
or to discuss the PROBABILITY of any inter
national complications. He had several
conferences with the secretary of the navy
during the day and this gave color to the
story that efforts will be made to recapture
the Etata.
"Can you take the vessel on the high seas
without violation of laW?n reporter
asked the secretary.
"Yes, sir" responded the secretary en-
phatically.
"Will you do it?"
81 have no answer to make to that" said
the secretary. "You can't skin a hare be-
fore you catch him."
This seems to summarize the present
situation. The Etata will be captured if
possible, but she has large start of any
pursuer.
Her escape raises an important question
of international law. The Alabama claims.
which cost Great Britain S20,00O,OO arose
in similar manner through the equipment
of confederate vessels in English ports and
the supplying of men, guns and ammuni-
ton to her by British vessels. AS the
Etata had been seized by the United States
at San Diego she was technically United
States property until discharged, and is
therefore liable to recapture on the high
seas by United States man Of war, or to
confscation if she ever enters a United
States port,
