The Situation in Chill

SANTIAGO, Chilli, Oct. 5.-The Chilian
government has so far evinced no
intention OF abandoning its position that
it has perfect right to arrest persons as
they enter or leave the precincts of the
American legation. But while strenuous
ly insisting upon the possession of this alb
stract right the government Is at present
making no attempt to put it in practice.
The paftlsans OF Balmaceda, who took re
fuge under Minister Egan's roof, are still
there and no arrests have been made dur
ing the past few days. 1t cannot be
learned that the government has in con
temptation any plan for asserting, IN the
near future, the right of arrest that is
claimed; but it is thought the present un
satisfactory situation cannot be long IN
continuance. In accordance with IN
structIons received from the STATE depart
ment at Washington Minister Egan has
gwen the junta to understand, by formal
and official notice, that if the Gillian au
thOrities continue to maintain their
present attitude, the friendly relations be-
tween Chill and the United States will be
Interrupted. The junta's reply to this
notice is awaited with great interest.
What Minister Egan's next step will be
in case the reply is unfavorable is not
known. The United States f. egship San
Francisco, which Is returning from the
North, is expected to reach Valpriso
some time this week. When she gets
into port the present plan of the American
minister is to ask the Gillian govern
ment to allow the refugees now at the
United States legation to go ON hoard the
United States man-of-war Baltimore. and
take their departure from Chillan ter

minutes the place was all ahlaze, and the
fire spread rapidly. A gentle breeze
from the north carried showers of live
sparks to the buildings. and vessels and
wharves south of the fire. The whole
department was called out, and engines
from Dartmouth came over to render
assistance. Within an hour Mer!ln's

Hatred of Americans

SAN DIEGO, Ca :, Oct. 2.-The British
steamer West Indian from Iquique and
Valparaiso for Saa Francisco, had stopped
in the harbor for coal and provisions.
Her captain confirms the reports of ill
ieeling and abuse of Americans since the
defeat Balmaceda His vessel was at
lou que when the news of the fall of the
dlcta'or was received, and be says ter
rife celebration Immediately began. Ca
rouslng. dancing and all manner of excess
es were indu ged IN, night and day, for
a week. The feeling against Americans
is especially bitter and out spoken at
VALPARAISO I'd Iqulque, where one of the
first moves made was to oust all Amer

In Valparaiso congressional SITS formed a
great procession with the Chilian flag IN

"Hurrah for England" England is on

Trouble IN Mexico.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Oct. 5-John Fl.
Parton, an American, who for tue past two
years has been engaged in mining busl
ness near MetztlllIan, situated in the
state of Hidalgo, Mexico, arrived to day.
He brings information of bloody out
break, which for some time has been IN
progress In the district of Tulamengo in
that state. The trouble is the outgrowrh
of dispute between several colonies of
eSpaniards, Germans and Indians, new
settlers attempting to settle on the lands
of the natives. Parton says that few
days before his departure a settlement of
whites was attacked by Indians and neal
ly 200 persons were massacred, including
men, women and children. The colopists
have appealed to the government for pro
tection and several battalions of troops
are on their way to the scene of trouble.

He VANS an Organ.

LONDON, Oct. 5.-The tories are to have
another newspaper. j. Blundell Maple,
M. P, and Lord Radner are credited
with the ambition to start new tory g.
penny daily, as rival of the Times.
The price would prevent the new news
paper from making any headway with
the masses, who do not care to pay more
than l penny for a daily newspaper,
so that the new tory daily, il started, will
have to look for circulation among the
wealthy and well to do. Blundell Maple
Is about A years of age, and son of a
wealthy dealer in furniture. He has
been making considerable noise In various
directions. Earl Radner is the treasurer
OF her majes:y's household, but 1t is not
likely that any of her majesty's money
will go into the newspaper enterprise.
1t is whispered, however that Radner Is
an intimate friend of the Prince of Wsles,
and that the prince may be anxious for
an organ, especially as he is known not
to have been pleased with the comments
OF the Times on the Wilson Cumming
trial.

Affairs IN Alaska.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-Lyman E..
Knapp, governor of Alaska, in his annual
report to the secretary of the interior,
devotes considerable space to the seal
islands and the seal industry. The most
serious difficulty in the matter, says the
governor, is the lllegitlmate slaughter of
females and young in the open sea.
There Is no doubt that a most valuable
industry and fruitful source of national
income is in danger. More than 100
marauding vessels were novering about
the islands in Behring sea during the sea-
son and large number of skins were
taken. The steamer Danube made a
special trip to the Northern Pacific dur
ing the latter part of June, reaching
Victoria on her return July 6. having on
board nearly $4,000 sealskins received
from some thirty five sealing vessels,
which she met, apparently by appoint
ment. Those delivering their cargoes to
the Danube were British vessels, The
governor estimates the seal lllegitimately
taken during small part of last season
at from $4,000 to 10000.

Russian Intrigue,

VIENNA, Oct. 2.-The impression Is
gaining ground that Russian enmity to
Austria and German had something to do
with the attempt to assassinate the Kai
ser Frances Joseph. While 1t is not be-
lleved that the czsr, or any other Eu
ropean prince, could wink at the attempt
ed assassination OF another ruler, yet the
Russian secret service has, as it is we'll
known. taken leading part in such cen.
splracies, as witness the PanItza plot,
which, when detected in time, was aimed
at the life of Prince Ferdinand of Bull
garla. 1t has been thought that the
lesson given In the execution of Ferdin-
and's wouldbe assassin would prevent
such conspiracies thereafter, but there is
reason to assume that Russian intrigue is
also at the bottom of the plaE to destroy
the ruler of the Austro- Hungarian en-
pire. The authorities are determined to
probe the conspiracy to the bottom, and
will have no scruples iu employing any
method of getting at the truth.

arrested last night for the murder of Mrs.
Henry Cosert and her son Jopllng, the
burning of the bodies and of the victims
home, and the ROBBERY of $1,000 In gold.
The scene of the tragedy was in Raleigh

had a great liking for gold, and turned
all she saved into it. For years she had

and had accumulated about $1,000. The

found by passer-by, who, on Saturday
morning, saw the smoking timbers of
what was once their home. The COM
