INSURGENTS INDIGNANT
Because We Retain the Itata's Cargo OF
Arms and mmunition.


Arms and Ammunition.
IQUIQUE, June 0.-There is great ex-
citement here over the decision of the
American admiral to take the Itata
without allowing the discharge of her
arms and ammunition. The press is
very bitter, and considers that the
United States-the recognized cradle of
republican ideas-commits grave error
in thus indirectly assisting the dictator.
Ell Nacional, in an editorial says: I'VE
know we have the sympathies of the
people of America, also of the people of
all other civilized nations, but the act of
the United States government against a
weaker power in arms for liberties and
rights is not in harmony with the tradi-
tions of that government" The article
concludes: "Let the Americans take our
ship and our arms, but let them reflect
that they leave nailed in the hearts of
5000, 900 men sentiments of having been
deceived in their hopes, and of having
lost faith in the nobleness of mind and
liberality Of sentiments of the govern
ment at Washington"

been for some time in this great country
of America and so know something Of its
condition. | came over partly as student
of social science and am deeply interested
in the advocation Of this great question OF
suffrage.
1.-Two things which / have noticed iE
this country, and in which am interested,
are the offices of police matron and
women factory inspectors. No place
boasting Of civilization should be without
a police matron, and am very glad that
Providence has such an officer. From
what have seen In this country | should
also say that there was abundant need OF
women factory inspectors"
"In Canada the women enjoy municipal
and school suffrage, and l am surprised
that In the United States the same rights
are not given TO women as TO men. There
is only one province of the British Domin-
ions where the women enjoy the right OF
suffrage with men and that Is New Zea-
land. In the United States there Is only
one State where women are enfranchised
and that is Wyoming"
