MEXICAN MATTERS.
Diaz Calls the Governors ofthe
Various States
To the Capital-It is Probably for the Purpose
OF Arranging to Suppress Any Out
break During His Absence

New ORLEANS, Feb, 5.-The Ptca,ntne's
San Antonio, Texas, special says: Under
orders from the government a detail of
United States officers has MADE an inspec-
ton of Mexican railway lines and coast
defenses. They found them much mere
thorough than they expected and the coast
works in particular progressing with not
able rapidity. One of the officers said
to-day: "F'or some time past as I am
creditably informed, President Deaz has
been calling the governors of diff
ferent states to the capital and
comforting with them. The procedure
has been unusual and much comment is
excited. The fact is that President Diaz
leaves shortly for France, where he will
remain some months. The fact of his in
tended departure is known only to- very
few persons and they of the. highest cir
cles. The country is not so quiet as it
should be. The Sandoval revolution last
summer demonstrated that an insurrec-
tionarv spirit still exists The departure
of the president is almost certain
to be followed by trouble in one
place or another and for this reason
the governors have been in consultation
with him. Diaz holds the republic with an
iron grasp, but when he is in Europe it
will necessarily be relaxed 1t is certain,
however, that any attempt at rebellion will
be speedily crushed. The administration
has too large an army, and with the present
transportation facilities, soldiers could be
modified too rapidly to permit a success
ful revolutions

Sarah BerDhardt.

New YORK, Feb. 5.-The Tribune;s
dramatic article says in part: '.In the
garden theatre last night the heroine of
La Tosca,' eccentric Sarah Bernardo.
made her Remittance upon the stage Of
this capital. She gave a performance re-
markable for the dexterity and finish of its
mechanism, and for the ample revelation
of those personal peculiarities that have in
spired and long retained the devotion of
her admirers. The supple figure, nervous
force, incessant yet reposeful and
beautifully moulded action, unerring
fitness of expressive gesture, wealth
of capricious wiles, melody of
voice, vehement loquacity, and abun-
dant resources of craft, and of
fury in moments of sudden theatrical
transition, all these equipments and felici
ties of her exceptional personality and her
authoritative art remain unlmpa;red and
entirely at her command. Sarah Bern
hardt is an accomplished artist but she has
never reached, and never will reach, the
height occupied on the American stage by
Charlotte Cushman and on the English by
Ellen Terry"

Cause of the CHILEAN Uprising.

PARIS, Feb. 5.-A dispatch to the GauIois
from Buenos Ayres says the CHILEAN rising
is due to violence on the part of the
Gillian regulars. The rising occurred at
Castro. A battle between regulars and in
surgents lasted three hours. Seventeen of
the former and 100 of the latter were killed.
Profiting by the revolt, the hostile sections
of Gillian regulars attacked one another
with knives tc settle an old quarrel
and the insurgents around the city
joined in the fighting, which lasted
two days. The number of persons
killed is not known exactly, but is
large. The harbor is patrolled by volun-
teers, who are partisans of the president,
assisted by 1000 sailors. The revolt ap-
pears to be reduced to the principal
harbors. Beaten on all sides, the insur-
gents intend to retreat to the mountains.
assume the defensive and march toward
Santiago, which Is now denuded of troops.
Friends advise the president to convoke
congress, which would settle the quarrel.

Free Coinage Men Defeated in Committee.

WASHINGTON, Feb. at a meeting of
the coinage committee to day the free coin
age men were defeated in an attempt to
limit hearings on the silver bill by vote of
Z to 5.
A delegation of officers of the State
Farmers alliance now in session in this
city, headed by President Polk. of the Ma
tlonal alliance, awaited the opening of the
nearing OF the House coinage committee
this morning. President Polk stated mis-
purpose to be to urge prompt action on the
silver bill by the committee, so that action
might be had by the House

SOME SILVER PLANS
A Free Coinage Rider Will Be
Put On Some Bill.
SENATOR STEWARDS AMENDMENT
The House Committee ON Coinage votes
Against Shutting Off Hearings-How the
Pension Question Affects Matters.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Especial telegram
to HE HERALD. The fight for free silver
coinage was transferred to the House this
afternoon. The committee on appropria-
TONS had opened point of attack by put
ting provision in the sundry civil appro-
prlatlon bill for the coinage Of certain sub
sldiary silver, which is piled up in the
treasury. Mr.. Bland, of Missouri. moved
an amendment providing for The free coin
age OF silver on the same terms as gold.
Dlngley, OF Maine, raised the point of
order that the proposition was new legisla-
ton, which is prohibited in an appropria-
ton bill by the rules of the House.
Payson, of Illinois, was presiding in the
committee of the whole and listened to
arguments upon the point of order until the
committee rose and the House adjourned.
There is a strong fear tonight among the
gold bugs that Payson will tomorrow rule
that the amendment is in order. Whether
ne does or not, direct vote upon the ques
ton can hardly be avoided. The silver men
believe that they can carry majority of
the House with them butit is not admitted
by their opponents. The committee on APP
preparations seems to have made an error
IN reporting the provision they have for
the coinage of subsidiary silver If point
of order can be sustained against the
free coinage proposition, it would seem that
1t would also be against the committee
amendment
Senator Stewart has decided not to press
his free coinage amendment to the pension
appropriation bill. He would be willing to
take the issue on that bill, but several
other Republican Senators, who are free
coinage men, do not like to be put in the at
ttude Of hazarding the pensions of the
veterans to accomplish an Interior purpose.
Senator Stewart stands ready, if neces-
sary, to offer similar amendment to
every appropriation bill that comes
before the Senate. Some of the more con-
sentative of the silver men, however, are
urging him to seek his object through some
other method than the amendment of an
appropriation bill. Such an amendment is
plainly against the rules of the Senate, and
while majority of the Senate can over
ride the rules, number of Democratic
Senators dislike exceedingly to take this
attitude after the firm stand they have
made for the sacredness of the rules dur
ing the fight over the force bill.
If the plan to secure free coinage by the
amendment of bill in the House succeeds,
Senator Stewart will not need to carry out
his plan. If Mr.. BANDS proposition fails
in the House, Senator Stewart may decide
to move free coinage bill as substitute
for some unimportant bill before the House
which is on the calendar. This would send
the measure back to the House for concur
renee in the amendment and would force
the issue there. Senator Stewart will
wait for the present effect of Mr.. BANDS
motion in the House to-day.

THE STEWART WILL.
An Interesting Examination of
WOuld-be Claimants
Now Going on Before the American Consul
at Belfast-Testimony May Justify
Annulling the Will.

Especial to THE HERALp-Examiner Gable.
BELFAST, Feb. 5.-The deepest interest
is taken by all classes throughout the north
OF Ireland in an inquiry proceeding at the
American consulate here. under authority
OF the southern district court of the state
OF New York, as to the claims of various
parties IN connection with A. T. Stewart s
estate. The inquiry, which has reached
the third day, is conducted by Samuel G..
Ruby, United States consul at Belfast. and
Sir James H. Hazlett, a local magistrate.
The particular case which led to the in
quiry is that Of Branagh VS. Smith,
and persons claiming to be relations
OF the late A. T. Stewart are
being examined. ]. ]. Brown, a solicitor
OF Belfast, represents the claimants. while
j. Holmes, of New York, and Digby Jones.
OF Belfast, act for Judge Hilton. The
court closed its doors against the press
during the sitting, but the substance Of the
sitting leaked out. The whole question of
relationship was gone into infinitely and the
geneologlcal complications are said to be
extraordinary. The testimony all through
is OF character to justify the statements
OF witnesses that they will be able to annul
the will.
a peculiar feature OF these proceedings
is the bearing of the American consul and
Mr.. Holmes, who keep their hats on their
heads and seem to treat the whole matter
with perfect indifference, even getting up
and walking about the room as if nothing
was going on. This rather puzzled the
grave mayor Of Belfast and the stolid
Quakers and Presbyterians. 1t is also
stated by one of those in attendance that
there is great freedom of language and
Americanisms of speech are plentiful.
Should the commission result in establish
ing any claims there will be application for
an open commission to be held in Belfast.
at which every person claiming to be heir
or next of kin will be entitled to attend and
prove kinship.
