The Junta Maintains It's Threatening
Attitude Toward Refugees at the Amer
lean Legation.
The Chilian Government has so far
evinced no intention of abandoning its
position that il has a perfect right 20
arrest persons as they enter or leave the
American Legation at Santiago. But
while strenuously insisting upon the
possession OF this abstract right, the
Government is at present making no
attempt to put IL in practice. The par
tisans Of Balmaceda who took refuge
under Minister Egan's roof are still
there, and no arrests have been made.
1t cannot be learned that the Govern
ment has In contemplation any plan for
asserting In the near future the right of
arrest that is claimed But IL Is thought
that the present unsatisfactory situa-
tioh cannot be Of long continuance.
In accordance with Instructions Min
lister Egan has given the Jlinta to un-
derstan that II the Chilian authorities
continue to maintain their present atti-
tude, the friendly relations between
Chill and the United States will be in
terrupted. The Junta's reply to this
notice is awaited with great interest.
What Minister Egan's next tep will be
in case the reply is unfavorable is not
known.
The United States flagship San Fran
cisco is expected to reach Valparaiso at
any hour. When she gets In port the
American Minister will ask the Chilian
Government TO allow the refugees now
at the United States Legation to 90 on
board the United States man of-w
Baltimore, and to take their departure
from Chilian territory.

so they remained on board the ferry

would ever set foot on dry land again.
The captain of the boat was almost as
distressed as the Chinese. He feared he

CHARLES STEWART PARNELL.

and Parnell. This Impression was kept
up for some time until details came
showing that the death was from nat
ural causes. the result of severe cold.
Expressions Of surprise wera at first
more numerous than of sorrow, al
though now that the facts are learned
these are succeeded by feeling OF
pity. The death was a great surprise.
Nobody was aware that Mr. Iarnell had
been ailing and it is no wonder that ru-
mors of suicide took possession Of the
public mind, but ii seems that his physi-
clans had frequently warned him that
he was not strong and that he ought to
cease public speaking for a time He
made his last speech in Ireland week
ago. II was noticed at ali recent meet
ings that he worked himself up TO a
high pitch of nervousness, the tension of
which lasted for days after. Despite
the entreaties of his wife he persisted in
talking, although he promised soon to
take rest
Mrs. Parnell is prostrated by grief and
fatigue, and the physicians are appre-
hens.ve as to her condition. She has
been nursing her husband constantly
since the cold settled on his lungs. Both
were hopeful OF recovery until nearly
the last, when death came with terrible
suddenness.

rule, removing all obstacles to its prog
ress in Ireland itself The liberals in
England have reason to hope for the
restoration OF harmony with the entire
body of Irish nationalists and for the
assistance Of its undivided vote in the
next general election.
Mr.. Parnell had only Just reached his
forty-fifth year and there seemed no
reason why he should not have lived TO
full realization Of his political aspira-
tions His death, occurring just at the
present critical period Of Irish affairs, is
calculated to produce complete change
in the disposition not ony of the Irish
political forces, but u bring about at

Is the Tory alition with the followers

Gus as it may appear, there can be little
doubt that his decease will have fur

al end to the chaotic confusion which
has now existed for nearly a year

Caused by a chill.

Charles Stewart Parnell died suddenly
at Brighton. Death was the result OF
chill with which the great Parliament
airy leader was attacked last week. He
gradually became worse and was COM
PEELED TO take to his bed, from which he.
never arose. Shortly after Mr.. Parnell
had been induced to retire to his bed his
condition became so grave that Mrs.
Parnell and the attending physician de-
cided il advisable to at once summon
additional medical advice. Two other
physicians were at once called in, but
notwithstanding their efforts Mr. Par
nell continued to grow steadily worse,
and IL soon became obvious that the
Irish leader was gradually sinking and
that death was but question OF few
days, perhaps hours. Since then IL APP
pears to have been simply matter of
awaiting the arrival Of the inevitable.
The announcement of Mr.. Parnelrs
death caused q tremendous sensation
here, says London cab,egram, the
news coming while the pubic mind is
still agitated by the deaths of William
Henry Smith and other distinguished
men. At first it was feared that 1t was
another suicide, and this was fully be-
lieved in by many in London, by whom
there was frequent grouping together

Special orders from Washington were
received at the Brooklyn Navy Yard or

greatest possible dispatch.
The order created much excitement in
the yard, for, while 1t was well known
that the vessel, together with the Bos-
ton, was destined to sail for the South
Pacific, yet such a hasty departure OF
either ship was entirely unlocked for.
Immediately on the receipt OF the news
the work OF completing the vessels sup
ply of ammunition was hastened for

for the Baltimore and San Francisco be-
ing also taken.
1t is calculated that the run from
Brooklyn to Valparaiso will consume
forty-five days. In all probability she will
not touch port until she reaches Monte

for 1S0 men, but she sailed shorthanded
