NEW York, Oct. 5.-Advices from VAL
paraiso Chile, under date of October Cd.
says: Election day is drawing near, and
the rumors about the candidates for the
office of President increase in number.
Among those prominently mentioned is
Senor IraraZayel. 1t is understood, how
ever, that the majority of the leaders aro
IN favor Of rendering the honor to Ad-
miral Jorge Montt, who, with Waldo
Silva and Ramon Barros Luco, form tho
now widely celebrated Junta de Gobeirno.
In fact, it is reported that he has already
been urged to allow his name to be used
as candidate. No one could be selected
who could satisfy all the factions as Ad-
miral Montt would.
Word has reached here of the ar
rival of the flagship San Fran
cisco at Payta, Peru. and of her
orders from the American C3overnr,ent
to return TO Valparaiso, and of her put
ting into Callao harbor on her return to
TINS city. The news has not been re-
ceived pleasantly here. The ChiIeans re-
gard ner return with undisguised dis
favor
The Chilean Government has so far
eVlnced no intention of abandoning its
position that 1t has perfect right to ar
rest persons as they enter or leave tho
precincts of the American Legation. But
while strenuously insisting upon this alb
stract right, the Government is at present
making no attempt TO put it in practice
PartlSans of Balmaceda who took ref
uge under Minister Egan's roof are still
| there, and no arrests have been made
during the past few days.
1t cannot bo learned whether tho
Government has in contemplation any
plan for asserting iii the near future tho
right of arrest that is claimed, but il is
thought that the present unsatisfactory
situation cannot be of long continuance.
In accordance with Instructions re-
celved from the State Department at
Washington, Mr.. Egan hs given the
Junta to understand that official notice
that If the Chilean authorities continue
to maintain their present attitude the
friendly relations between Chile and the
United States will be interrupted. The
Iunta's reply to this notice is awaited
with great interest. What Minister
Egan's next step will be in case the re-
ply is unfavorable is not known.

SAN ANTONIO (Texas), Oct 5.-John II.
Parton, an American, who for the past
two years has been engaged in the min
ing business near Metzillian, situated in
the State of Hidalgo, Mexico, has arrived
here. He brings information of bloody
Indian outbreak, which has for some
time been in progress in the district of
Tulamengo, in that State. The trouble
is the .outgrowth of dispute between
several colonies of Spaniards, Germans
and Indians, the new settlers attempting
to settle on the lands of the natives. The
Indians resisted their attempts to evict
them, and much bloodshed has resulted.
Mr.. Parton says that a few days before
his departure settlement of whites was
attacked by Indians and nearly 200 peo-
pie massacred, including men, women
and children. The colonists have APP
pealed to the Government for protection,
and several battalions of troops are on
their way to the scene of trouble.

Lord Beresford's Report Causes a Sem

NNOA
Sation.
LONDON, Oct. 5.-Some excitement and
very marked sensation has been caused
here by the startling report made by
Lord Charles Beresford, who lately spent
considerable time in careful inspection of
the Suez Canal. His report says that in
time of war the canal could easily be rem
dered useless, and goes so far as to sup
plement this by saying that it will not
only be useless, but dangerous ele-
ment, if counted upon as one of England's
resources.
Lord Charles shows that at one point on
the canal where the banks are rocky a
small quantity of dynamite would blow q
mass Of rock into the channel and make
it impossible. He points out that this
might be done at a critical moment, and
in such way that British troop-ships
would find themselves caught and una
BILE to get out at either end. For this
reason Lord Beresford holds that the
Cape route to India must be regarded as
the real line of communication III case of
European war.
