DILL's STORY.
Pilot Dill Of San Diego came up from San
Pedro In the evening with United States
Marshal Gard. Pilot Dill says he had no
alternative but to take the Itata to sea. He
says the captain put three armed Chileaus
on either side of him and remained himself
with a revolver to see that he did not run
the steamer aground. He says he saw
fifty to sixty armed men on board, but
there may have been more, and two cannon
on the forward deck. He was told there were
six more cannon and two Gatling guns on
board. Pilot Dill says he is confident that
the vessel would have resisted any attempt
to detain her as a matter Of life or death,
He says the Itata was a veritable man-of-
war when he took her out of the harbor. but
had the appearance OF a merchant vessel
when he brought her in.
Capt. O'Farrell of the schooner refuses TO
make any admissions, saying he did not
know he was violating any law. but no re-
fuses to say what became of his cargo be-
yond the fact that lie has a clear receipt for
everything. He says that he would not
have been captured had he had his full
crew. The federal officers are very reticent,
and decline to say what orders, if any,
have been received from Washington.

CoaFU's JEWS TzRRoRIzED.

Attempts to Burn Their Quarters Made
Almost Daily.
LONDON, May 10-Since the Greek attack
on the Jewish quarter of Corfu the Jewish
residents of the town have not left their
shops or let themselves be seen in
the streets. They creep out Of
their houses at daylight TO buy victuals,
for which they have to pay three times
their value. All the synagogues are
closed. The recent Jewish funerals required
an escort of troops. In fact, the soldiers are
in sympathy with the Jews. The anti
semitic movement is increasing in danger.
Almost daily attempts are made to set fire
to the Jewish quarter by means OF rags
soaked in petroleum.

BUENos AYREs, May 10.-President Pei

message to the congress, which is a lengthy
document, deals mainly with finRnces The
political situation, he says, is hopeful, and,
in spite of tho decrease Of
the customs revenue, the state Oh
the treasury Is satisfactory. Referring to
the collapse of the state banks, he appeals
for union on the part of all sections TO save
the nation from bankruptcy. The Presis
dent is decidedly opposed to a fresh
issue OF paper, but Is willing 20 ac-
cept any rational solution that the,congress
proposes. He suggests the formation Of a

must be replaced or reformed. In conclu-
sion, the President favors reform of the
currency on a silver basis, and announces
important financial changes.

special from Guthrie, Q. T., SAYS the skill
with which the Wells Fargo express car of

IN his car from the bandits. When the
robbers boarded the train at Wharton the
messenger was looking out Of the door of
his car, and, seeing what was GO
ing on, Immediately apprehended dan
ger. He closed and locked the
door and then commenced to hide the
money and valuables in his keeping in
places Of safety, where they would escape
detection by the robbers. While the
bandits were detaching the engine and ex-
press car from the rest of the train and
we're running it to the place where the rob-
berry occurred, two miles distant, the mes

Then he locked the safe. When the rob-
bers appeared at the door Of the express car
he made show of resistance but finally
admitted them. They Immediately made
for the safe and demanded that it be opened.
With assumed reluctance the messenger
opened it, and at the command of the
leader he handed out the contents, among
which was a package of worthless papers
which he told the robbers was a valuable
package OF money. The most of the money
had been hidden in the stove, which was
not being used. In the search which the
robbers made of the car they overlooked
that hiding place, but stumbled upon
package of $500, which they secured.
