ing to directions received from the state
department at Washington, that the Unit

tion Of the whole affair and reparation for
the injuries inflicted
Acting upon the instructions sent to him
from Washington, Mr.. Egan presented the
Chilian junta with . detailed statement OF
the results Of the investigation made by
Captain Schley, Of the Baltimore, aud by
Mr.. ERan himself. Those Investigations
had shown that Charles Riggan one Of the
Baltimore's petty officers, was brutally
assaulted by several Chillsns while he
was riding on street car. Riggan re-
sisted, but WAS dragged from the car and
murdered by pistol shot In the arms OF
his companions

wounded men, who died from his injuries,
received no less than eighteen stab
wounds In the back, two Of them penetrat

After givingl . full List Of the Baltl-

the fact that thirty-Hve Of the cruiser's

In conclusion Mr.. Egan said that the
surgeons Of the United States war ship ex.
pressed the opinion that some Of the
wounds inflicted upon the American sail
ors were bayonet wounds and that this
clearly showed that the police officers OF
Valparaiso, who are armed with bayonets,
took part in the attack.

The Story Of tho osfauIting New Or.
leans Cashier.
A friend OF Cashier Garcia states
that the cause Of his downfall was without
doubt accreditoble to the Louisiana lot
terry. Fifteen years ago Garcia com-
menced to play In the daily drawings Of
the oompa any. He played with varied sue
cess, but when luck began TO turn against
him he was q constant loscr. Then he be-
came reckless and took money belonging
to the bank, hoping by one lucky stroke 10
recoup his losses, and by so doing to return
the money he had taken out Of the golfers
Of the bank. His peculations amounted 70
$3.50 600.
Garcia held the implicit confidence Of
the oficials Of the bank, and no attempt
was over made to count the cash which
was under his control. That the pecula-
tions have been going on for great num-
ber Of years was shown by the appearance
OF the packages Of money, to open which
It was necessary to steam them. Garcia
has handed over to the bank an insurance
on his life, also the title deeds Of his home.
The bank holds an indemnity bond for
sl0, 900, but 1t Is said not 10 be worth the
paper II is written on, as it was written
last year. Every body who knows Garcia
arc deeply sorry for the disgrace he has
brought on himself and family, still, even
his most intimate friends aro astonished at
his nonchslauce. He said to the president
Of the bank:
~ suppose you will appoint soms one In
my place In order that there may be no
trouble, would not object to instruct my
SUCCESSOR" !.
HIS family, although they moved in the
best society, could never be accused OF
any extravagant mode Of living. His
family consists Of three sons and two
daughters. Garcia's father, who was also
an employe In the bank, was the father Of
twenty -one children, of whom the defaultor
was tho youngest
Many stories arc being told about tho
errors Garcia made. Several gentlemen
say that they have received many hun
drcds Of dollars In excess Of what their
checks called for.
The bank directors blame themselves for
their losses. Garcia was arrested and re-
leased on ~, 900 bond.

OF the cars kept on tho main track. As .

There was no tolescopiug. There were

his baby first, then CROPPED his way from

his wife dead.
The scene after the wreck il said to have
been heartreuding and panicky. The I'M
