According to Some Remarkable and
Reliable" News.
A Correspondents Discoveries in The
Celestial Kingdom.

SHANGHAI, November 13 "A special
correspondent Of the United Press, sent to
China with instructions to investigate the
matters causing so much uneasiness In di-
plomatic circles throughout Europe and
the United States. is now In this city, and
from high authority has been placed In
possession of important facts. The United
States cruiser Charleston has left these wa
ters for Honolulu, the capital of the King
dom OF Hawaii, and 1t is asserted here, In
quarters likely to know the truth or falsity
OF a report Of this nature, that her COM
mander, George @. Remy, has received In
structions from the United States govern
ment to seize the Hawaiian islands should
certain eventualities occur. The United
Press correspondent has reason to believe
that these facts have been cabled to the
brltlsh foreign office, and that there has
been In consequence an exchange of des-
patches between the British admiralty and
the admiral in command of the British
fleets in Chinese waters. Ostensibly, the
mission OF the Charleston is simply to pre-
tect American Interests there and offer a
refuge for the American citizens on those
Islands should the political upbeayal ex-
pected there take the form that some peo-
PIE anticipate IL may take. 1t is recognized
Dy all, except, perhaps, the representa-
tlyes of two powers, that the Hawaiian ISL
ands are, naturally, under the wing, if not
under the protection of the United States,
and that the United States is the country
to police. If not to annex, that somewhat
disturbed country. under certain circum-
stances. As the United Press correspond
ent understands 1t, the Charleston's mis-
sion Is not bold and uncalled for swoop-
ing down upon and seizure of the Hawaii
an kingdom. 1t is simply the taking of a
firm, dipl0matic step In what is considered
by the United States government to be the
best interest of the United States.
So far as the Chinese disturbance is con-
cerned, matters seem to be calming down
considerably. lowing, in great measure, to
the concentration Ia Chinese waters of SO

TO TEACH cHILIANs.
Naval Demonstration May Be on
the programme,

tns programme
WASHINGTON, November 13.-It Is quite
evident that the President, and Secretary
Blaine do not propose to let Chill long re-
main in ignorance of the fact that the
United States has made substantial prog
ress In the building of navy. sThe news
leaked out today that there is to be
change In the assignments of o number of
vessels. which will result In the concentra-
tlon OF su;h fleet Of war ships in the har-
Dor CT Valparaiso as to amount to naval
demonstration.
Orders have been sent, it is said, to Rear
Admiral Gberardi, now on board his flag
ship. the Philadelphia, at st. Thomas, to
proceed at once to Valparaiso and assume
command of the South Pacific station.
Rear Admiral Brown, now in command of
that station, will be detached and placed
on waiting orders. Acting Rear Admiral
John q. Walker will retain his flagship, the
Chicago, and relieve Admiral Gherardi in
command of the North Atlantic station.
This fleet, however, will be cut down
from the imposing proportions of the
White Squadron to the Chicago and the
old Kaarsarge. Rear Admiral A. E. K.
Benham will be sent on board the Newark
to take command of the South Atlantic
station, with headquarters at Rio de janet
ro. The Atlanta, Concord and Bennington
are all to sail on Sunday or Monday for
Chilian waters. The Charleston has al
ready. been ordered to return from the
Aslatic station to the South Pacific.
These orders will result in placing under
the command of Admiral Gherardi at Val
parais0 fleet composed of the Philadel-
phia (hagship), San Francisco, Charleston,
Boston. Baltimore (n0w already at Valpa-
raiso), Atlanta, Yorktown, Concord and
Bennington, while the Newark will be
within comparatively easy call at Rio.
This concentration of warships will bring
together formidable array Of guns and
men.
The Philadelphia carries IL guns in her
main battery, the Baltimore 10, the San
Francisco II, the Charleston 8, the Boston
8. the Atlanta s, the Yorktown 6, the Con-
cord 6. the Bennington 6. These guns are
all new six and eight-inch rifled steel
breech-loaders, and each ship carries a
powerful secondary battery of rapid firing
and machine gnns. Each ships company
VIII average 300 or more men. Officials of
both State and Navy departments depre
cate placing any warlike meaning upon
this demonstration and insist that there is
no special significance in the concentration
OF powerful feet in South American wa
ters.
The selection of Admiral Gherardi to
command the South Pacific station is sure,
however, to be regarded as significant.
Gnerardl is known as the principal diplO-
mat among the officers of the navy, and it
will be remembered that he, In a sense, su-
perseded Minister Douglass in the futile
negotiations with Hayti for the possession

Terrible Accusations made Against
Alleged Anarchists.

CHICAGO, November 13.-Seventeen OF
the alleged Anarchists arrested when a
force of police, with drawn revolVers,
charged into their meeting last night.
were arraigned in Justice Woodman's
court this morning. Jesse Cox represented
the prosecution. Mr.. Cox moved to dis.
charge the,men as no written complaint
was made. Complaints were made out,
some for resisting an officer In the dis
charge of his duty, others for carrying con-
cealed weapons and disorderly conduct.
Officer Gould, who took part in the raid,
said he arrested the men for dlsorderly
conduct. They were ''cussing and swear
ing and raising hell" He heard several
say: "The devils ought to be blown to
hell. We are stronger than evef before.
and will do 1t yet" The officer could not
state whether any of the men arraigned
made incendiary remarks or not. Th7
officer pointed out several men he saw In
the saloon.
Oficer Wessler tvld about the same
story. He heard one anarchist say: "rhe
mayor is id dude and we will hang
him."
Officer VIM. Howe, the next witness had
an armful of red flags, he had torn from
thO tm VI tuO OuO hdu buO
words American group No. 1" inscribed
In gilt letters. That is terrible thing to
have on flag" said Mr.. Cox. why did
yon bring that flag alone?"
Because it is the emblem OF anarchy
and we wanted it for evidence"
Officer Sullivan told about Officer Gary's
arresting man who pulled pistol and
said: "Shoot me, am ready to die.
Henry Miller admitted that he was in the
ball. He was Unidentified by Sullivan and
Gary as the man who had the pistol. Off
GERS Sullivan and Gary repeated the story
with few variations.
Officer Weaver testified TO having ar
rested Theodore Hoeck What was he
doing?" was asked. "Oh, he was Just up in
the hail."
THAT is all our witnesses" said Attor-
ney Hines. Mr.. Cox said he intended to
examine all the men arrested. A recess
was then taken.
When the court re-assembled, Mr.. Cox
examined four defendants. He tried to
prove that the meeting was peaceable.
Mayor Washburn says all meetings held to
advocate anarchistic principles will be
