eeedings, and fireman named Murray was not

Old marine men on the water front were very
much disappointed because they could not

attack on them as individuals, but as represent
atives OF the United States The report so in
dIcateS that the local police, instead OF protect
ing the Americans from the violence OF the mob.
n several instances took pprr in the onslaught.
This, the report says, is demonstrated by
the fact that several sailors were
wounded by bayonets, such as are usually
carried by the Chilean police. The fact that the
only persons arrested were thirty-five American
sailors who escaped injuries at the hands OF the
mob, strengthens the view that the assault was
intended a. an Insult 10 the United States.
The information a. hand shows that so far none
OF the Cl.leans concerned in the attack have
been arrested, and So far as known no steps
have been taken 20 punish them in any way for
their action. The authorities at Washington
are very indignant at the apparent indifference
displayed by the Chilean government. and min
lister Egan has been instructed 10 take prompt
and vigorous measures TO secure proper rep4ra-
ton. de had been fully advised OF the position
OF this government and instructed to acquaint
the Chilean government herewith, in the hope
that the matter may be amicably adjusted with
out detrlment 10 the honor of either country.
II is understood the president insists upon
proper redress for the supposed insult to our
national honor, and unless given within reas-
enable time Minister Egan will be recalled
and all diplomatic relations with Chile sus-
pended. secretary Tracy said this afternoon
that no more vessels had been ordered to Chile.
and he did not know II any would be sent. The
Yorktown is on the way there and the Boston
is starting. Neither can reach there within
month. The san Francisco is in Callao, only
four days sail from Valparaiso, but has not
been ordered there, neither mas another ayaila-
bic vessel, the Thetis, now at san Francisco.
The sailing orders OF the Boston and Yorktown
were issued before the attack on the
sailors and the main purpose OF their detail
was TO relieve the Baltimore and san Francisco,
which vessels are TO go 10 San Francisco when
relieved 10 be docked and overhaulad. Itwould
seem, therefore, that the government does not
care to make any beIligerent demonstra, to-
ward Chile, but prefers 10 show It's dis pleasure
through diplomatic channels.

HIS VOICE HAS RETURNED.
Judge III. G.. Strives Curious Experience
With Ills Thrnat-A Trin Eat


Judge II. g. Strive, who has been confined to
his house for several days by attack of
rheumatism, was out on the street again yester-
day. He has wholly recovered the use of his
voice. Yesterday he said: "For ten months
suffered constantly from hoarsenesg, and 1 spent
$50 or 5000 in travelling all over the country
visiting specialists and paying their fees l
took all sorts OF medicine but nothing did me
any permanent gooi so / finally gave I'D in
despair, and thought 1 had forever lost
the full use of my voice. I stopped taking med
icine, but for six weeks there was no apparent
change. But. strange 20 say, woke up one
morning aud found my voice as good as ever;
and from that day-over a month ago-I have
not suffered from hoarseness nor sore throat"
Judge strive has recently returned from trip
TO the East. ''Times are lively in New York"
said he. land money is plenty, but investors
have not yet fully rcgained their consciousness
The Middle West is very rich this fall. for
money is pouring into it in payment for the I'M
usually heavy crops"
The Judge will soon leave Seattle to spend the
winter in southern California or some other
semi-tropical region
