Spy for BaImaceda's Government.
WASHINGTON, Nov. BIN view of the
repeated statement that Admiral Brown
or some of his ships company informed
Balmaceda's Government party of the
landing of the Congressional forces at
Quinteros last August, Secretary Tracy
seized the opportunity afforded by the
presence of the Admiral with the San
Francisco at Acapulco, Mexico, a few
days ago, and addressed the following
telegram to him:
WASHINGTON, November 10th.
To admiral Br0tOn Did you invite anv
Chilean officer to accompany you on board
the San Francisco to witness the landing of
Chileans at Quintero? Did you or any officers
of your crew return on that occasion TO Val
paraiso to communicate the information as to
what you saw TO any person not connected
with your vessel? TRACY.
Admiral Browns reply was as follows:
ACAPULCO, November 10th.
To the Secretary Of the -Ndrg W(Ishfn0to1.
Did not invite or take any Chileans. Invited
foreign officers. Only German went. No one
from the ship gave information. Full infor-
nation about landing known at Santiago and
Valparaiso before sailed at noon.
In addition to the foregoing positive
statements by Admiral Brown he dis
tinetly states in his report to the depart
ment, dated August 3lst, that he was in
formed before he sailed for Valparaiso
that the congressional forces had effected
q landing.
An authoritative denial was made at the
Navy Yard of the published statement
that Admiral Gerhardi had been ordered
to Chile; that he would relieve Admiral
Brown in command of the Pacific Station.
1t is said Admiral GerharCi is under
orders to cruise in the West Indies,
where he will be joined by the Concord;
that the Atlanta is to go to Rio, and that

Activity Displayed In Connection With
Internal Disturbances.
LONDON, Nov. 13-Some surprise was
expressed in this city upon the receipt of
q dispatch to-day announcing extraordi-
nary activity being displayed by the
Russian Gov ernment in connection with
internal disturbances in the empire. 1t
was thought at first that the Governments S
action was due to troubles arising from
scarcity of food in many districts of Rus
sia, as for some days past dispatches have
been received depicting terrible suffer-
lngs of starving peasants. Many acts of
lawleSsnesS have been committed by
men rendered desperate from the pangs
OF hunger, and the statement made that
Marshals of nobility would be held to
strict accountability for any political dis
turbances in their districts was taken to
mean that the starving peasants and
small farmers were assuming a threaten
ing attitude.
A dispatch received this evening, how
ever, puts all speculation to flight. A
short time ago it came to the knowledge
OF the police that a conspiracy was under
way. While secretly pursuing the in
vestigations in st. Petersburg the police
have found that the conspirators in that
city were only part Of q numerous band,
the headquarters Of which was located in
Moscow. They learned also that con-
spirators had been very active in secur-
ing adherents to their plan, and the con-
spiracy had ramifications which spread
10 all the principal cities of the empire.
The object of the conspiracy, unlike the
majority of plots discovered in Russia
was not to kill the Gar, but was the or
ganization ola movement having for its
end the creation of representative
assembly, an object which has been the
dream of many years. Sixty members of
the nobility and of the upper and middle
classes, charged with completely, have
been arrested. The students of all the
universities are under strict surveillance.
The discovery of the plot and the arrest
OF so many prominent subjects has
caused a decided sensation in Russia.

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 13.-The suspension
of the California National Bank continues
to be the absorbing theme of conversa-
ton. There were no new sensations de-
veloped to-day. There is no disposition
to lay any particular blame on anybody,
and there is Tonight a very general feel
ing that the situation is improving. The
three other banks met all their demands
with their usual promptness all day, and
there is nothing to indicate that any fail
ureS will follow the California Banks
trouble. Public confidence in J. w. Col
Inns, the President, and S. G. Havermale,
one of the best known directors, is very
great, and the people believe that between
them and the many friends of1he en-
barrassed Institution everything will be
brought around all right.
There was nothing in the nature of a
run on any of the other banks during the
day, and the result is that the public
mind is comparatively easy. During the
night special train arrived from Los
Angeles with large supply of coin with
which to fortify the banks here, The
Presidents of three Los Angeles banks
were in the city all day investigating the
local banks and canvassing the situation
S6IcldAly. IHey pronounce all GDr66 IN

went north this evening confident that
nothing further will happen to seriously
complicate the situation. 1t is certain
| beyond any doubt that the deposftors
will not lose dollar.
The Bank Examiner, W. H. Chamber
lain, arrived this evening, and willIbegin
! Investigations tomorrow. A very good
| feature of the situation is that George V.
Sims, of the Lombard Trust Company,
London, who came to this city to look
about for investments for his company.
and who expected to become interested
in several matters with President Collins,
examined the bank to-day and declared
that if Bank Examiner Chamberlain will
give him authority to do so he will bring
out money enough from New York and
London to re-establish the bank on a
SOunder basis than ever
