paraiso, under date of November 10, tells
OF continued ill-treatment of Americans,
and of the refusal of the intendente of the
city TO promise police protection TO the
market boats of the Baltimore, necessitat-
ing provisions being sent out by private
boats TO the cruiser. At the date OF the
letter there was living on the Baltimore a
doctor named Stanley. 3 British subject,
who had been q resident Of Chile for
number of years. He was a wit
ness TO the attack upon Turnbull,
the Baltimore sailor. who received
twenty knife wounds in the affray
last month and afterward died. Dr. STAN
ley defended the man as well as he could,
and afterward took him TO a hospital and
cared for him. 1t was known that his
testimony would be damaging, and few
days later he was assaulted aud arrested
Efforts were made to prevent his testi-
mony being taken, but when he was re-
leased from prison he went aboard the
baltimore for protection. The members
of the crew of the Baltimore subscribed
nearly $500 in gold and purchased mon
ument suitably inscribed to place over the
graves of Riggin and Turnbull.
Another case of cruelty to American
seamen has attracted attention. The
American steamer Keewenaw, from New
York for San Francisco, stopped at VAL
paralso in October. One of her crew. Pat
rick Shields, was arrested for drunken
ness. The man admits he was drunk, but
says he was given no hearing at all, aud
was refused permission to communicate
with his captain on the vessel or with the
consulate. He was kept at work cleaning
the streets more than a week, and
brutally beaten by the police. When re-
leased he as scarcely able to walk his
back and arms being mass of bruises,
and according to the statement of a sur
geon who attended HIM he received in
ternal injuries which viii prevent him
working for several months. Consul Nc
Creery took the man TO the intendente to
show the latter his injuries, hut the in
tendente declined to look at him. though
he promised to investigate the matter. No
conclusion had been reached in the case
up to the date of the letter.

THE PRESID ;Nr KILLED.
Ore OF the AivO's Crew SAYS the
Haytians Have Shot Their Leader.
by The United Press,

New YORK, June 17.-First
Mate Bishop of the steamship Alvo,
which arrived from Haytian ports
to-day, states that on June 6 ves-
sci which had been at Port Au
Prince during the insurrection,
reached Navassa and reported that
President Hippolyte had been shot
and killed by one of the insurgents.
The report had not yet been further
substantiated when the Alvo sailed
away. The story of the revolt and
subsequent murder of Rignaud
which this vessel brought agreed
with the reports which have already
been published.
Mate Bishop says that while the
Alvo was at Jacma on June 5, six
political prisoners were taken out
OF prison to the open square in the
centre Of the city and shot in the
presence of their friends and rela-
tives. The greatest excitement
prevails in town, and all sorts Of
stories Of outrage and murder are
current.

THE LAST BLOW
TO RUSSIAN JEWS,
The Synagogue at St.
Petersburg, Their
Only Refuge,
Closed
HORRIBLE TRAIN DIS
ASTER.
While the Czor Vas ON his cau
to Liradia his Train IS met
By Another and a 7fag-
edy IS Enacted.
BY The Uuited Press J

LONDON, June IA St. Pc
tersburg dispatch says that the clos
ing Of the synagogue in that city is
regarded by the Jews as a final blow
at their race. The synagogue is a
handsome and comparatively ancient
specimen of architecture and its ex-
istence was often pointed to by the
friends of Russia as an evidence
that the charges about prosecuting
the Jews were greatly exaggerated.
The closing Of the synagogue goes
to show that the rich as we'll as the
poor Hebrews are included in the
imperial ban. The Cars journey
to Livadia to meet the Grand Duke
George was attended by the most
extraordinary precautions entirely
respective Of the comfort and
convenience of the general
public. While the imperial train
was on its way a passenger train
came on, travelling in the opposite
direction. The passenger train was
side-tracked. All the windows
were closed and the doors locked,
and the passengers were warned
not to show themselves outside
the carriages until after the Cars
rain had passed. Each door on
that train was guarded by a soldier.
The passenger train remained
stationary for two hours before
being permitted to 90 ahead. The
sufferings Of some of the inmates Of
the train are said to have been ter.
rible. In one instance mother
and babe, the latter a weekling
were unable to obtain the neces.
sary attendance of a physician
and the child perished, obviously
on that account. The poor mother
with her dead child in her arms
/. went insane over her loss. Th
latest Russian regulation is al
,rder by the holy synod that mem
bers Of the Greek church must at
tend church on Sunday. Police
men are to be detailed near all larg
manufacturing establishments to Sc
that the order is obeyed.
