To the IriIh Pcoyle Of America:
FELLOw CoUNTRYMRN:-In 1880 and
subsequent years you assisted me power.
fully by your influence upon American
public opinion aud with your generous
financial support, to create the Cret {
movement Of the Land League. With
out your aid, go freely given aud SO con-
stantly maintained, Ireland could not for
a moment have made head against
her oppressors; still less could che have
attained the singular position Of power
and the promise Of success which che
has occupied during the last five years.
At the instant when victory seemed
near and certain the hRsty and meddle-
some interierenCes Of English politicians
in the complex organization Of our par

panic among some young law recruits,
eagerly seconded by few malContent
office seekers aud envious persons who
Crept into our ranks, temporarily d.
stroyed the unity OF our forces and
sapped the independence Of many Irish
representatives.
1t now becomes my task to restore
this unity and reconstruct our move
ment, looping of all unsound materials,
taking eHectual precautions against the
admission in future into our army Of any
weak, treacherous, Belf-seeking ele-
ments. Fortune has unveiled the dan.

disclosure has brought about a realizs.
ton Of the insutliCiency OF Mr.. Glad
stones proposed solution OF the situation
to secure the legitimate liberty rhappi-
ness and prosperity Of your brothers and
sisters In Ireland. This disclosure was
timely and all.important.
The delegates who at my request are
now crossing the ocean to your shores
are wellqualifed with experience, ability
and patriotism to fully explain and de.
fend my position, which all that is
eouud, courageous and reliable at home
have assumed to meet with in this crisiP.
l commend them to your hospitality,
and l am confident that you will extend
to them tho most favorable reception
and hearing.
They are each and all well tried SOL
diers, who have constantly distinguished
themselves in our war against coercion
and British misruIe. who, in spite of
Intimidation and influence OF the most
unscrupulous and fsr.reaching character,
have bravely defended me during these
dark and trying moments. With con-
fdence even greater than in 1880, l
appeal to you once more to assist me in
quelling this mutiny and disloyalty to
Ireland, to help me secure really In
dependent parliamentary party, 30 that
we may make one more, even though it
may be our last, effort to win freedom
and prosperity for our nation by consti.
tutional means.
Your faithful servant,

Business circles in this city were very
much shocked this evening at the rumor,
which, upon investigation by an INTEL

fact; that one Of the oldest established
and what was thought to be one Of the
solidest mercantile firms in the State,
had gone under and made an Assign.

wholesale and retail fancy grocer, closed
lis doors this evening and recorded an
assignment in the county clerks Office
in favor OF It's creditors to @. D. Merrick,
trustee, the well known attorney.
The firm Of John r. Murdock was
known from one end Of the Ohio Valley

New YORK, March 1S.-More letters
have been received giving additional
details Of the rebellion in Chile. The
latest letter follows:
SANTIAGO. Feb. II, 1901.
A bloody battle has been fought at
Pisagrea. The rebels were defeated,
having forty killed and thirty.iour
wounded. Their commander, Col. Sal
yador Veraga, was seriously wounded,
but carried away by his.soldiers.
The Government continues TO exile
all persons who are in any way inclined
towards the rebels. Both natives and
foreigners are. suffering. Several Ger.
man and English merchants have been
given thirty.six hours in'which to leave
the country forever. A perfect sur.
prise, to say the least, has, been the do.
cree Of the Government sxpelling from
the country the representative OF for.
eign nation, the consul lot Austria at
Valparaiso. The consul, 1t seems, was
very much inclined toward the rebels,
and in an unguarded moment stated his
feelings and opinion Of BAlmaceda to a
friend.
The government prisons are filed to
oyelfowing with prisoners. Confsca.
ton on grand scale is being resorted 10
by the government.
THE MOST TERRIBLE DISASTER
took place at Port COronel, at about
three o'clock in the afternoon, when the
Esmerelda appeared in the harbor and
deamnded the surrender OF the town.
This was refused. A perfect shower ot
grape and canister was followed by solid
shot. The people fled to the heights for
safety, while some took refuge in the
railroad station. The bombardment
continued amid the screaming OF women
and children and the impFecations Of
men, when suddenly a shot struck the
railroad station. This was followed by
several others, and before anybody
could escape the roof and tho west wall
fellin, burying over two hundred men,
women and children in the ruins.
The firing continued, and this added
to the cries OF the dying caused the com.
mander to surrender to the cruiser. As
soon as word was sent to tue cruiser, the
Of the ship with detachment
OF marines was sent to help clear up the
wreck and lend assistance to the
wounded.
