IT CANNOT B OVERLOOKED.
This Government to Demand Satisfa elton
for the Attack on American Sailors.

This Government to Demand Satisfa ction
for the Attack on American Sailors.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 24.-Secre-
tary Tracy said this morning that a
further study of the cipher dispatch
received from Capt. Schley, of
the Baltimore, Thursday, in re
gard to their recent assault of
American sailors at Valparaiso, showed
that in addition to the killing of
one man and the serious wounding of
six others, that thirtv-fve other Amer
lean seamen were arrested and de-
tanned by the CHILEAN authorities at the
same time, and that they were after
wards examined and dismissed, as there
was no proof that they had been guilty
of any misbehavior. This confirms Capt.
SChlev's other statement that the
Americans were unarmed, sober and
we'll behaved at the time of the trouble,
and also indicates that at least 40 men
out of the Baltimore's contingent of 275
men were objects of the rage of the
Gillian mob. 1t also appears now that
up to the date of Capt. Schley's report,
the CHILEAN authorities had taken no
steps to arrest and punish any Of the
Chilians responsible for the affair, or
at any rate that no Chilians were ar
rested, or that the movement of the
wheels of justice had operated in any
other direction than against the Amerl-
cans.
An official thoroughly familiar with
all the facts in the possession of the
government in regard to the Valparaiso
affair pointed out this morning that it
was altogether different in it's material
feature from the italian affair at New
Orleans. In the latter case the men
were domiciled here and were prac-
ticallv citizens of the United States.
At any rate, they bore no
official relation to the government of
Italy. In the Valparaiso case, on the
other hand, the men attacked wore the
uniform of the United States govern
ment and were attacked simply because
they were Americans. The official said
that the attack on them was a deliber-
ate insult to the American flag and
could be regarded in no other way.
Secretary Tracy had an interview with
the President this morning in regard to
the matter, out refuses to say what &C
ton has been agreed upon. Its known
that the administration regards the sit
nation as most serious, and that the IN
cident is not one that can be overlooked
as 8 simple street row. While no other
vessels have been ordered to proceed to
Chilli to enforce the demand
for reparation that will probably
be made, it is likely that the naval
force IN Gillian waters Will be speedily
reinforced unless this government re-
ceives some assurance from the CHILEAN
government that proper justice will be
meted out to the offenders. Minister
Egan has been advised of the views OF
the administration, but the exact ma
ture of the messages sent him cannot
be ascertainad.

MAUD S. TIME BEATEN.

Sunol Lowers the Worlds Record by Half
u Second.
Maud S. worlds trotting record,
which has stood for years as the best
for mile, was finally beaten at Stock
ton, CAL, on the Goth, on the klteshaped
track by Senator Stanford's peerless lit
tie mare Sunol, which was sent over the
distance by Driver Marvin in the phe-
nomenally fast time of 2.0S4. Robert
Bonner's famous mare did it in 2:0S4,
and Sunol's time is therefore half sec
ond better than the long-standing rec
ord. There were six timers brought to
bear on the mare. and as all of them
agreed there can be no doubt as to the
accuracy of the record. She went
the first quarter in 3l4, half
in 1:04 fiat, three-quarters IN
1877, and came home strong
and scored in 2:0Si. The crowd went
wild when the time was made known.
Marvin has all along declared that SEN
ator Stanford's fleet mare would lower
the mark made by Maud S., and after
the race asserted that before many
months she would be driven the mile in

WRECKED BY A MIRAGE.
An American Vessel Lost Under Pecu-
liar Circumstances.


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. PA mirage
in the Caribbean Sea was the cause of
the total wreck of the new American
barkentine Steadfast while bound from
Port-of-Spain to Philadelphia with
cargo of asphalt. She was wrecked
several weeks ago, but the crew has
just reached here on their way home
from the Island Of St. Croix, the
scene of the disaster. When the Stead
fast sighted the lofty peaks of st. Croix
the atmosphere assumed a peculiar
light color, and it became impossible to
detect the sky from the island, every
thing assuming similar shade and
color, resembling the cirrostratus
clouds, hiding the entire lower portion
of the island. The peaks and mountain
tops appeared to be twenty miles away.
The tol< of the mountains seemed to be
inverted, the tall occupants appearing
to grow from sky to earth. The sugar
grinding mills we're pouring their smoke
downward and the workmen working
upside down. The Steadtast was kept
under easy sail and perfect control.
Everything went well until a grinding
sound was heard, and sudden tremor
went through the ship. The vessel
crashed over the reefs, and was soon
fast on the rocky shore, where her
wreck still remains.

name of Charles Green, and dressed as
an American seaman, surrendered him
self to the police last evening, stating
that he was wanted by the police of
Philadelphia, Pa, for a murder commit
ted about six months ago. According
to the story told by the prisoner he
murdered young girl named Minnie
Gilmore while in Philadelphia in March
last. Minnie Gilmour, Green says,

so terribly jealous of her that in fit Of
rage he killed her and subsequently es-
capped to England. From this country,
the ssilor added, he shipped on board a
merchant vessel bound for the Black
Sea. During the night watches at sea,
Green continued, the spirit of the dead
girl haunted him continually and made
his life such a misery to him that
unon his return to London he deter
mined to surrender himself to the po-
lice in order that he might be sent back
to Philadelphia and there suffer the
penalty he had incurred by MS crime.
Green, in conclusion, said that he for
merly lived in South Francis Street,

ON HER WAY TO CHILL.
The Big Cruiser Boston Sails from New
York for the Pacific.

York for the Pacific.
New YORK, Oct. 24.-The steel cruiser
Boston will sail at noon to-day to rein
force the United States squadron in
Gillian waters. 1t has been rumored
that the South Pacific was the station to
which the new vessel would be or
dered, but not till the riots in the
streets of Valparaiso did the Navy
Department issue specific instruc-
tons. These were received by Capt.
Gilbert c. Wiltse Wednesday. The
Secretary directed him to proceed to
Valparaiso as soon as his ship was ready
for sea and report to the senior naval
officer there. The Boston will stop for
coal at several ports while on her Jour
ney. Valparaiso, it is thought, will be
reached in about two months. Here
Capt. Wiltse will report to RearA dmiral
Brown, or, in his absence, to Capt.
Schley, of the Baltimore.
Although not an armored vessel, or
even protected cruiser, the Boston
will compare favorably with the CHILEAN
ships, but would be no match for their
big battle-ship, Capt. Pratt. Shis isa big
rugged vessel with 10000 square feet Of
sail area. The latter can only be
used as an auxiliary power, however,
for under sale alone, with the most
favorable conditions, it could not make
more than four knots an hour. 1t has
no armor whatever, but is protected by
steel deck u inches thick. This ex-
tends 100 feet over over the machinery
and magazines, and four feet below the
water.
The ship is built Of steel throughout.
Her armament consists of two S-inch
breech-loading rifles, SIX 6-inch breech-
loading rifles, and eleven rapid-fre and
machine guns. The Boston has 26 Off
ciers and 269 men. She carries with
her stores for years cruise and some
ammunition for the Baltimore and San
Francisco

SUING FOR A FORTUNE.
= Madison Woman's Claim Against u
Michigan Relative.

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. Entrances s.
Clark, of Madison, Wis, represents ina
bill of complaint filed in the United
States circuit court that she is the sole
heir-at- law of Chester r. Clark, f, RI O.
ly a wellknown resident of Battle Creek,
Mich. who died at Blooming Gre We, Wis.
intestate. She claims that previous to
his death Chester r. Clark inherited
fortune of SOL 900 from the estate of his
father, which he assigned to Walter
Clark, of Battle Creek, Mich, to invest
in paying securities. 1t is claimed that
the SCI 900 was invested by Walter
Clark, who had an apparent ownership
of the fund, but who WAS really no more
than a trustee for Chester r. Clark,
having supplied the latter with
the income from the money
during his lifetime. The COM
painant states that Walter Clark now
refuses to account or pay over to her
the balance Of money in his possession,
and the court is asked to com pei such an
accounting, and to require the defend
ant to deliver to the complainant all the
money received from Chester II. Clark.

miles below Rio Grande City, on the
Mexican side. He had been arrested
some days before and left for Victoria

bold enough to cut the body down for
fear of meeting similar fate. Feelipe
Salinas, another member of Garcia's
band, was caught October..S, and was re-
moved in the same way. The SOL
diers excuse the deaths of these
men by saying that they were
called La Ley Fuego. 1t is law per-
uniting the shooting of a prisoner whc
attempts to escape. By its warrants
hundreds Of men have been executed
in Mexico within the last five years. A
political prisoner is given to understand
that he must make q break for liberty,

ten yards between himself and his cap
tors and is then tllmbled on his face
with bullets through his back.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 26.-Secre-
tary Blaine this morning resumed the
charge of his duties as secretary of state.
He rose early and soon after breakfast
went over 20 the White House. Secre-
tarv Tracy soon joined him there, and
together they had a long consultation
with the President. 1t was nearly
noon when Secretary Blaine left
the White House and walked over to
the Department of State. He entered
his private office and plunged in at once
to business. Orders were given to adj
NIT no persons not connected with
the department, and the Secre-
tarv began to hear reports
from the assistant secretaries and
other officials of the department. Near
ly all had matters to bring to his atten-
ton, and the Secretary entered upon
their consideration with zeal, in this
way picking up many Of the details Of
business that is now before the depart
ment. Assistant Secretary Wharton,
who has been acting secretary of state
during Secretary Blaine's absence. re-
turned this morning from a flying
trip to New York to find the Secretary
at the helm of the ship of state. There
appeared to be no official news at the
departments respecting the last phase
of the Gillian trouble. Nothing had
been received from Commodore
Schlev, and Secretary Blaine sent word
that there was nothing to communicate

DR.. KEMPSTER'S SENSATION.
He is Said to be Preparing Work That

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 26.-Dr. Wal

respondents with some highly colored
stories as to what the United States i'm
migration commissioners have discov-
cred abroad. He says that the report
which will be made will be of such
startling character that the United states
Will be compelled to cut OF all dlplO-
matte connections with Russia. Inc
Doctors statements are taken with
good deal of allowance at the Treasury
and State departments here. He fails to
give any details of the extreme abuses
he and his associates have unearthed,
and confines himself to extreme adJect-
Ives which characterize his discovery.
From the letters received at the treas
ury 1T is believed that DR.. kempster has
gone OFT on a tangent and is pursuing an
inquiry which has no relation whatever
to immigration to this country. He says
the Gar is harassing the Germans OF
Russia as we'll as the Jews, and that he
has secured proofs of many instances OF
harsh treatment by Russian officers

here they have nothing to do with
Russia's ill-treatment of German resi-

DR.. kempster's efforts in that line are
therefore thrown away, and his array

National Bank, is declared a default

Of Garcia's shortage began developing

o tltement to the directors to the effect
that he coulu account 4or the shortage

Up to noon no arrests had been made

will be any. In an interview with J. G.
Morris, president of the clearing
house this morning, IN regard to
Garcia's defalcation, he said: "Eu-
gene f. Garcia, paying teller of
the Louisiana National Bank,

was first discovered on the Sth of Octo-
Der. The full extent of the detalcation
was only demonstrated on the 18th.
Some packages were paid out purport-
they only contained $500 and $1,000.
Complaint to this effect was made to
the Louisiana National Bank Of
the shortage of the packages. Mr..
Garcia confessed that the shortage was
from old payments, errors and mis-
takes committed by him within the last
fifteen years. The cash in the bank
was examined and the shortage dis
covered. The loss of the large amount
has been carried to profit and loss, and
still capital of 100000 and surplus

BUENos AYREs, Oct. 22--Advices re-

of the republic of Daraguays'bring news
of an attempt there to overthrow Presi-
dent Juan q. Gonzalez. The attempted
revolution, however, was promptly sup
pressed by the troops loyal to the gov

in and was nurtured by political rival
ries and disappointed ambitions. This
jealous rivalry continued to grow in
strength until the governments oppo-

pie, armed themselves, and sought 10
wrest the reins of power from the prop

which resulted in the defeat of the

to seek refuge within the borders of the
