BALMACEDA'S BRUTALITIES
As Narrated by the Sympatbizers Wit
the Reyolutionists.

4
WASHINGTON, June 2S.-Senor jose
| Gonzales, Just arrived from Chilli, d
/ sympathizer with the CHILEAN insurrec
tionists, speaks as follows concerning
| the conduct of hoStilitieS by the Govern
| ment troops:
| "Bamaceda is practicing crueltieS
unheard Of in the history of Chi. a
| friend who was o prominent citizen OF
| epcion-Senor Zerrano-and hi,
son were put in prison because they re-
fused to obey the dictates of the
tyrant Being imprisoned failed
| TO break their spirit, SO
Balmaceda had the father taken out in
| TO the yard Of the Jail and mercilesSly
| tortured. After being brutally fiogg ed
| the tendons Of his arms and legs were
| severed TO render him helpless for life.
| This horrible cruelty was purpoSely
| prac ticed within earshot OF his son,
| who was afterwards subjected TO the
same treatment before the gaze of his
| father, now fast dying from loss of
| blood, and the result of the terrible
! ordeal. Neither of them survived the
| horrors of the torture, which was inlet
| ed upon them.
| Another of Balmaceda's atrocities
| came TO light by the merest accident.
| Since the beginning of the hostilitles q
number of wel-known citizens OF San
tiago have mysteriouSiy disappeared.
| In many cases they have left their resi-
/ denceS to be gone an hour or Two and
/ have never returned or been heard
| from. The ultimate fate of two OF them
was, however, discovered by the acci-
dent referred to before / left Santiago.
Three bodies were taken on Sunday to
the principal cemetery for burial. The
burial permits being irregular, the
cemetery authorities would not
admit them. The bearers went
back to the town to get the
proper changes made in the permits.
While they were on this errand the men
in charge of the cemetery, suspecting
that something was wrong, opened the
collins and discovered that all the bodies
were headleSs. OF course, this created
excitement, and the news spread rapid
Nv through the town. Examination or
the headless corpses showed, from
marks Oh the bodies, that two OF them
were prominent residents OF Santiago,
while the third one was never identified.
Ii was afterward learned that these men
had been arrested and executed by order
Of Balmaceda."
In Pisgua, a lot Of laborers who had
been on a spree, and who went through
the streets hurrahing for the Revou-
tiOniSts, were at once arrested by Bal
macedas soldiers, and thrown into
prison. Every night for a week two Of
these labOrerS were taken out and shot,
and their bodies thrown back into the
room occupied by their comrades, who
we're told that such was to be the fate
of two of their number each night.
Balmaceda's Indifference TO the uSages
Of civilized warfare is shown by his vio
lation of the armistice which existed in
regard to the fleet forces at Caldera.
The ships OF the RevolutiOnists were ly
ing at this port in apparent safety,
which was guaranteed by the armistice,
when suddenly Balmaceda's cruisers
Lynch and Condell appeared, and, with
out warning, opened fire upon them,
with the disastrous result already
known.

MAKING READY FOR RUSSIA.
Austria VIII Strengthen All Her Garri
sons i'm Galicia.

LONDON, June 90. - Vienna de
spatch says that this year will witness
great addition to the military expense
of Austria. This increase is made nee
essary by the formidable attitude o
Russia near the Austrian frontier
and the probability that Russian
forces in that direction will
be increased, instead of diminished
Austria proposes PRACTICAL to put GA
licia in state of military occupation
with force sufficient to confron an I'm
expected attack. Permanent barrack!
are TO be erected in Cracow, RzesZow
Tarnopos and Przemysl, and Other
places, 20 take the place Of temporary
barracks put up during the war scare
of about three years ago. The TEN.
porary barracks were of timber. The
new barracks will be of stone and will
cost many millions of forms.
New Notifications are also to be con-
structed for the defence of places now
open TO sudden attack. The artillery
in Galicia is to be raised to war foot
ing, new light repeating rifles are to be
served out TO the troops and SmOkelesS
powder provided for the navy ordinance.
Altogether, wnen these costly prepare
lions are completed Russia will find her
self face to face with we'll organized
force, in strength and equipment at
least equal to her own. The Russian
troops on the Austrian frontier are con-
stantly being augmented in numbers,
both Of cavalry and infantry, drafted
mostly from the Caucasus.
Berlin advices state that public SYM
pathy is very generally with the brick
layers in their demand for sixty pfen-
nigs an hour (about fourteen cents) in
the care of all employers not now pay
ing that amount. The briclIlayers are
collecting for fund they call their
war fund.-" which is intended to sup
port them should prolonged contro-
versy with the employers make neces-
Sary an appeal to the public.
The latest news from Constantinople
is to the effect that the rebellious Argbs
of Yemen have defeated the troops of

That country itself is one Of the most
troublesome possessions of the Porte,
and very little net revenue is derived
from 1t. Owing to poverty the Sultan
is unable to send the large force that is
needed to put down the instruction,

Last and Greatest of the Trio OF Bank
Wreckers of ISS9-oO-An Appeal.

Last and Greatest of the Trio or Bank
Wreckers of ISS9-9O-An Appeal.
NEW YoEN. June 2S.-James A. Sim
mons. who was convicted OF aiding Gen.
Peter j. ClaaSScn. President OF the
Sixth National Bank, in the embezzle-
ment Of the funds OF that institution,
was brought up yesterday before Judge
BENEDICT i'm the United States Circuit
Court for sentence. When asked II he
had anything TO say, he merely shook
his head.
Judge Benedict said that the evidence
left no room for doubt of the guilt OF the
accused. The court had taken into con-
Sideration the iury'S recommendation
10 mercy. Nevertheless the sentence
must be severe.
Then he sentenced Simmons to six
years Imprisonment in the Erie county
penitentiary.
Half an hour after Judge Benedict
| had pronounced sentence counsel for the
| prisoner made application for stay OF
proceedings in the case, pending an APP
neal To the United States Supreme
! Court. Bail was fixed by the Court at
! $40. 600. which must be given by Tues
day next, and in the meanwhile Sim
mons will remain in LHdlow street jail.
The sentence Of Simmons, supposing
the conviction 10 stand on appeal,
rounds up the trio of bank wreckerS
whose schemes came to naught in Janu-
ary, 1890, wish the closing OF banks OF
which they had secured control. One
OF these, the Equitable, did not reopen.
The Sixth Avenue National Bank and
the Lenox Hill Bank were put on theiI
feet again. Pell, one of Simmons
agents. was convicted in the General
Sessions of robbing State bank, and
sent to Sing Sing was seven and one
half years. ClaaSen, another, was con
yicted in the United States Circuit
Court, like Simmons, the offence in theil
eases being embezzlement from ma
tional bank.

Oct. Il, 1892, to the middle of April,
1898. when the naval review will be
held in New York harbor. The build
ings of the Chicago enterprise are to be
dedicated on Oct. y, 1892, and the Chi

LIQUOR QUESTION
At Barnesville, Ohio-A Test Case OF the

BARNEsVILLE, June 2S.-The trouble
in the council is deepening. VIM.
Rimer, who was arrested on the 25th
for selling liquor contrary to the city
ordinance, will be tried tomorrow.
This will be made test case to see
whether or not the ordinance is legal.
The point to be argued will be the
question as TO whether or not the coun-
eli was elected legally. If it be proven
that the council is Illegal it will leave
our city in very bad shape, as they
have expended quite large amount
and have passed resolutions for paved
streets nearly all over the town. The
result is awaited anxiously by most OF
our citizens.

The Congressional DiStricting bill
which Gov PArTIsoN, of Pennsylvania,
has righteOusly vetoed, was not based
on the census OF 1890, as the law re-
Quires, but on the census Of 1880.
All the districts were left unchanged
with the exception of two, which were
altered to permit the formation of two
districts to accommodate the two addi-
tional members given Pennsylvania.
The result is that some of the odd dis
tricts have a population largely in eX-
cess of the ratio fixed by Congress anu
others largely below that ratio. In
fact the ratio under the new census
has been wholly disregarded that
the gerrymander of 1854 might
not be- disturbed. Under TINS
eerrymander the Republicans car
ried twenty-one Of the twentY-eight
districts in 1855 and are confident OF
carving the same number next year
by the vetoed bill two more Repuoh-
can districts were formed. The action
of the governor will compel the cleo
zion of the two additional members on
the general ticket and as the Repuou-
cans expect as matter OF course u
curry the state they are counting OF
tweDtv-three out Of the thirty congress
men Hence they did not care whethe
the governor vetoed or signed the bill

ME- wANAMAKER's BAD MEMORY


1t is rather difficult to see where the
wbite-wash is to come from that will
entirely whiten Postmaster General
WANAvAKER's record in relation to
the failed and plundered keystone
National Bank Of Philadelphia.
II will be remembered that he swore
he had never tried 10 influence or delay
the appointment of Receiver for the
bank, and that Comptroller LACEY i'm
mediately published dispatch from
Mr.. .WANNAMAKER in which delay was
earnestly urged. He also Swore that
he was never a stakeholder of the Key
stone National Bank. that he only held
stock of the bank as collateral, and that
his only relation TO the bank was that
Of its profitable customer. In Court
last week the books of the bank were
produced. and showed that 2,695 shares
Of stock had been issued 10 Mr.. WANA-
MAKER. Nr. WANAMAKEE must have
very treacherouS memory. His treat
ment of the fraudulent Over-isSue OF
stock, which he used as collateral on
which TO borrow money, is another
point that needs to be cOnSiderd with
great charity to make it square with
what the business transactions of a
model Sunday School superintendent
should be.

AN EXPLANATION NEEDED.

A Republican writes to one of the
Congressman on MCKISIEY's late COM
mittee, expressing the "disappointment
of wool-grOwcrs in Ohio and Michigan"
and asking an explanation" OF the fact
that the increase OF the tariff tax on
foreign wool has been followed by de-
crease in the price the farmers of Ohio
and Michigan can get for wool of their
own growing. 1T is so contrary TO
general expectation, he says, land so
damaging 10 all argument or effort in
favor of protection that the friends Of
protection and those who have advo-
Gated that side of the question before
the farmers, may be considered we'll
nigh dumbfounded at the situation"
1t is, indeed, queer that the promises
of the high tariff organs should be so
quickly and so emphatically falsitied.
The market price of Ohio and Michigan
wool has fallen four cents per pound
within two years; and, on the other
hand, there was twice as much foreign
wool imported during the first four
months of this year, under the increas-
ed duty, than was imported during the
same months in 1890.
The explanation, however, as the
REGISTER has time and again pointed
ont, is plain enough. This fine foreign
wool, which is not grown here our man
ufacturerS must have. And now that
the price of it has gone 10, they econo-
mize, not by buying less of it, but by
using to mix with it, instead of the finer
home woods, the cheaper and cOarSer
territory woods or else shoddy; the price
of the latter, it will be noted, has taken
a sudden jump since the Mckinley
tariff went into effect. The Ohio wool
growers, who were chiefly instrumental
in having the increase placed in the bill
are the chief sufferers.
