THE GILLIAN DEsPOT.
A Travesty on Republic Is Chilli
at Present,

New YORK, June 22.-Many startling
facts in connection with the revolution
now raging in Chill, which throw light
upon the despotism of Balmaceda, are
now given to the public for the first
time. In Santiago. where his head
quarters are, he has caused a cross of
red to be painted OH all the houses of
people who he suspected are not
these marked residences his police and
soldiers go at any time of day or night.
The people III these houses are
forbidden to lock their doors. No
one is allowed to ride on horseback
through the streets after ) o'clock in
the afternoon; no three persons are al
lowed to walk the streets in company at
any time of the day; no two persons
can stand and converse on the street.
1t is verltaDle reign of terror for all
who either through fear or interest
have failed to cast their fortunes with
Balmaceda. A New York gentleman
saw a horrible punishment melted out to
Gillian who had been. overheard to
say that he was willing to work his
hands off for the revolutioniSts. The
poor fellows hands were placed on a
block and his fingers pounded to jelly
by big mallet in the hands of a soldier.
He was then told that he could go and
work his hands any way he wanted to
and for any one.
The generals of BaImaceda's army,
as we'll as the principal officers, are said
to be superior in military training to
those of the revOlutioRists' forces. One
of the most prominent leaders of the
revOlutioniSts, Don Pedro Montt, is
said to be on board the Pacific mail
steamship City of Paris, which will ar
rive here June "a. 1t is said he comes
to confer with the authorities at WASH
ington looking toward their recognition
of the reyolutionists. A rumor was
also current in Spanish circles yester-
day that the European agents of the
revolutionists had paid the balance of
the contract money due ON the two
cruisers that have just been finished for
the Gillian government, and have
loaded and dispatched the vessels to
Chilli, where they will fight against

STOOD BY THEIR GUNS.
The Insurgent Cruiser Went Down
With ColOrs FLYING.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 22.-Capt F.
B. Nesmith has arrived in this city after
a stay of eight months in Chilli. He
was an eye witness of the battle be-
tween the insurgent cruiser Blanco En-
calado and the government torpedo
boats. He was on the British schooner
Sophie May, which was anchored 500
yards from the Encalado, and thus OBJ
tanned good view of the fight. The
government vessels entered the harbor
of Coldero, where the Encalado was at
anchor, early. on the morning of April
%. When within 200 yards of
the insurgent ship the Condell
fired two torpedoes, but both missed.
The Lynch then fired two torpedoes at
a distance of 100 yards. which also went
wide of their mark. For nearly an hour
the vessels kept up an incessant can
nonade without using any more torpe-
does, and the government vessels GOT
the worst of it. During this time the
insurgent transport Aconcagua entered
the harbor and joined the fight. It
looked as if the two torpedo boats would
be defeated, when finally the Lynch
made rush Tor the Encalada. When

CHICAGO, June pa royal messen-
ger, bearing important dispatches sent
from Toxic by the cZarewitch to the
car of Russia, has mysteriouSly disap-
peared, it is said. while en- route from
San Francisco to New York. The fact
has been kept secret, and it is not GER
tain that the Russian government is yet
aware of it. G. Waterman, member
of the firm of GrosSer Il Co., of Yoko-
hama and London, was OH the same Pa
citic Mail steamship which brought the
messenger to this country, and told of
the disappearance for the first time to-
day at the Palmer house, where he and
a number of well-known German and
English merchants of Japan and China
registered on their way from Yokohama
to Europe. According to Mr.. Mater.

cisco for the East on the day of his ar
rival there. Near Denver, however,

over night in that city. He never

aud has not been since seen. There are
quaintanceS to believe that the young
Russian has met violent death at the
hands of Japanese enemies of the car
oWitch. The most important of these Is
the hitherto unpublished truth regard
ing the attack upon the life of the car
ewitch. Mr.. Waterman was in Toxic at
the time, and states that the truth was
never made known because it showed
too plainly the vicious character of even
the highest class of the japanese people.
The attack was. not made, he says, be-
cause the Russian had desecrated a
sacred temple. The czarewitch had ac-
cepted an invitation to visit great noble
at Toxic. On the way there he yielded
to the opportunities of another noble
to visit him before reaching
Toxic. His host at the latter city re-
celved this as an insult, and his desire
for revenge stopped at nothing, it is al
leged-nOt even the murder of his royal
guest. An assassin was therefore hired
to kill the cZareWitch, and the resulting
attempt was given to the world as the
work of religious fanatic. From every
stopping place the care witch sends
duplicate dispatches to his father by
three trusted messengers, who take the
most opposite routes. One of these, i'm
mediately after the attempted assassina-
ton, was sent to st. Petersburg by way
of the United States. The theory adj
vanced by Mr.. Waterman ana his friends
is that the authorities, in weak at
tempt at continuing the deception re-
garding the affair, have intercepted and
put out of the way all 1.-The messengers

STURGIs, S. d., June %. = Judge
Thomas convened circuit court this
morning for the puapose of proceeding
with the trial OF the three Culbertson
boys, james, Jules and Alvin Marvin,
who are under indictment for killing
the Indian, Few Tails, in Lead county
last January. Albert Culbertson, who
was not in custody at the time court was
in session a month ago, was arraigned
this morning and plead not guilty.
The judge ordered special ven
ire for twenty-three jurymen to com
plete the panel returnable at a. IN.
tomorrow, when interesting proceed
ings are anticipated. States Attorney
Mccall will be assisted I'm the prosecu-
ton of the case by w. B. Sterling,
United States prosecuting attorney for
South Dakota, and Attorney General
Dollard, of this state, who are here.
Defendants have retained counsel, in
Guiding some of the most noted GRIM
inal lawyers in the Hills. 1t is popu-
lar belief that it will be impossible to
get a jury in this part of Dakota to coll
vict these men. owing to the general
bad feeling that exists over the &C
quital of Plenty Horses. The prosecu-
ton, however, claims TO have a chain
of evidence that will prove conclusiveIy
that the men are guilty as charged in
the Indictment.

O'Brlen, aged thirty years, who gave
his residence as Boston, was arrested
last night for attempting to commit an
assault on little four-year-old child by
the name of julia German. On his way
to the police station the prisoner was
followed by large crowd, which was
very administrative. Such ordinations
as Lynch him." Hang him to a lamp

probably have Jared badly with the
prisoner had not several policemen
came to the assistance Of the officer who
made the arrest.

LADIES TO THE FORE.
Their CaIisthenic Drill Created
Quite Furor.

AS was expected, the calisthenics by
the ladies proved the prettiest and most
attractive feature of the day. Attired
in the regimental costume, they marched
to martial music out upon the square,
each young lady bearing pair of Indian
clubs. They came in ranks of tours,
and in two columns. One column came
upon the ground from the east and the
other from the west, and filing towards
the north, after few military maneu-
vers, were arranged in a solid mass in
open order. Then the band struck up
pretty selection and the calisthenics
were completed. The audience APP
plauded enthusiastically at every pause
in the performance, and when the ladies
marched off the square the applause
amounted to perfect ovation.

SOME GREAT SPORT.
Individual Competitions KeenIy
Contested.

The days events were opened by mis-
celianeOus apparatus turning promptly
at o'clock. The parallel and the hori-
ZOntal bars, the horses with saddles and
the horses without saddles. These ex-
erciSes occupied the time up to 10
o'clock. Then began the contests IN
putting the thirty-five-pound shot, lift
ing weights and the running long
jumps.
The jumping was a disappointment
to the contestants and to their admirers.
1t required a long time for the
individual participants to complete the
affair. William Koeeke, of the South
Side Turngemiende of Chicago, cleared
unchallenged to the end, although there
were many who had anticipated leaping
over 20 feet.
John Nuremberg, the stalwart repre-
sentative of the Lincoln society of Chi
cagO, was tritie too good for the field
In putting the thirty-hYe pound shot.
He cast it twenty feet and six inches.
Henry KuntZ. of the North side, Mil
waukee, is much lighter than many of
his rivals. He is slender, young ath-
lete, but wiry and nervy. He out
claSSed all competitors in handling the

every appearance of fairness to the
spectators, although kick was formu-
lated by the others. He suffered with a
very sore foot, the result of his work in
the jumping events. This fact pre-
vented him from

on the ground, as the rules prescribe,
and the claim of foul went to the judges
to decide. When the reporter asked
one of these gentlemen for an opinion
in the premises he refused to give even
hint. Should the foul be allowed the
prize will go to John Nuremberg, of
Chicago, who put up the weight twenty
one times, or three less manlpulatiOnS
than the Turner from the Cream City.
The friends of each are loud in their
declarations for the rights of their re-
spective favorite, and a wrangle may
enSue at the awarding of prizes to-day.
The spert was resumed after dinner
promptly at 2 O'clock. Then popular
turning was again taken up. The run
ming long jump was finished, but the
records Just given were not disturbed
This was followed by the hop, skip and
jump, as it is known in tie technique of
Turner parlance.
These were hot contests. Several
hundred participated, and the result
