mo- nestroy chilean IroncIada.

LONDON, Aug. 10.-Startling informa-
tion is in possession of the Chilean lega-
tion in reference to a conspiracy to de-
stroy the two Chilean ironclads, Presi-
dente Pinto and Errazuriz. 1t appears
that the sum of 100000 was offered to
an English maritime officer, in the SER
vice of the Chilean government, if he
would undertake to blow up the Ezra
zuriz. He refused the offer with indig-
nation. While the vessel was in the
harbor of Lisbon. While the Presidente
Pinto was at Toulon party of men at
tempted to join the crew. They looked
so unlike ordinary sailors, two of them
being unable to conceal their refinement
of manner that suspicion was aroused,
and the commander concluded to reject
them, although in neeI of men. Proof
afterward came to his knowledge that
these men had been engaged to sink the
the ship. The Errazuriz is already safe
at sea, and it is understood that the
Pinto will soon be in a position to fol
low, and that their arrival in Chile will
put an end to the revolt.

A SUNDAY PRIZE FIGHT.

Tommy Ryan, of Chicago, Outflghts
Billy Mcmillan, of Washington.
CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-The prize fight
for 81 800 a side and 10 per cent. and
25 per cent. division of the gate receipts,
which amounted to about 81 500 more,
between Tommy Ryan, of Chi cago, and
Billy Mcmillan, of Washington, came
off in grove about sixty miles from
Chicago yesterday. Quite number of
sports were in attendance.
Both men weighed little less than
IA pounds. Ryan was in first class
condition, but in the opinion of experts
at the ring side Mcmillan was over
trained. The betting was 2 to on
Ryan. Ryan's seconds were announced
as Jim Hall aud Billy Kuntz. and Nc
Millan's as Joe Rollo and George Siler.
Michael Hogan was referee.
In the third Mcmillan went into
the ring with the air of man
who knew he was beaten and
wanted to hasten the killing blow. He
ran against Ryan, who punished him
horribly, breaking one of his ribs with d
right arm swing. The champion knocked
him down and he got up weakly only to
be mashed again and knocked out. Nc
MILAN was badly cut and bruised by the
fight and his nose looked as if it was
broken. Ryan was perfectly fresh.

FROM FOREIGNLANDS
Stories Of Oppression by the Shah
Of Persia,
ENGAGED TO SINK CHILEAN SHIPS

Startling Information I'm Possession
of the Chilean Legation in Refer
ence to the Conspiracy-The Duke
of Cleveland Dying-other Foreign
Items of Interest.
LONDON, Aug. 10.-Later advices con-
firm the stories of oppression by the
shah of Persia, who is becoming more
eccentric in his vices and cruelties. The
governors of provinc es, from whom no
apology Is accepted for failure to return
their apportioned taxes to the treasury,
are themselves compelled to be cruelty
severe In order to raise the amounts
from the suffering peasantry. It Is no
uncommon spectacle in the province of
Hamadan to hear groans issuing from
pillars of brick on the roadside. The
pillars are the graves of the wretched
peasants who have not paid their taxes
and who are walled up alive in this way,
a small aperture being left for breath
ing.
The boiling alive Of Abdallah Khan
was attended by narrowing incidents,
the unfortunate wretch pleading for
mercy to the last and asking to be stran-
gled. The executioners, however, had
to obey orders, or, according to Persian
rule, they would have suffered the same
fate. They, however, had the water
boiling hot, and the cries of the unfor-
tunate victim ceased the moment he
was put in the cauldron.
Abdullah Khan, who was governor of
Macenderaun, was sentenced to this
horrible punishment by the liking Of
Kings because of his failure to return
to the royal treasury the stipulated
sum. The charge against him, how
ever, was embezzlement in office. The
barbarities of the Persian ruler may
give pretense to Russia for taking
charge Of his kingdom,

Beached on Bahama Banks.

KEY WEST, Fla, Aug. 10.-Chief Of
ficer Boyd, of the Morgan line steamer
Eldorado, arrived in this city on the
revenue cutter Mclean. He reports
that his vessel at midnight Tuesday
struck an unknown rock bearing west
southwest of Hens and Chickens shoals,
great Bahama banks. She tore large
hole in heb port side, and her forward
compartment filled rapidly. 1t was
found necessary to beach her, which
was done twelve miles west of the
lsaacs in five fathoms OF water The
vessel is resting easily, but is in dan
gerous locality when the water is rough.
Ii the weather holds good the Eldorado
will be saved. The Mclean will go to
her assistance, and will carry divers,
pumps and material for closing the leak.
She also takes out provisions for the
crew of the wrecked vessel. The Nc
Lean left yesterday afternoon for the
scene of the wreck.

The Men Were Warned.
The mine inspector notified the men
that they were likely to encounter gas
as they approached the vein, but not
withstanding this fact they entered the
dangerous portions of the tunnel with
naked lamps. The blasts are fired by
ronnds, and after the first blast had been
fired, which took the vein, and the
laborers had gone back to set off the
second round, the gas which had accu-
mulated in the meantime exploded. The
vein that was cut is still making gas,
and for some time it was impossible to
reach the scene of the disaster. The air
pressure was Immediately put to work,
but with little success. Men were sent
to the surface for fan, which has been
placed in position, and with which they
expect to clear away the gas, and until
then the extent of the damage done will
not be learned.
Work of the Deadly Gas.
As soon as the gas ignited there was
loud report. and everybody in the
tunnel at the time felt its shock. The
deadly gas swept everything before it,
and the miners were thrown to the
ground with considerable force, at the
same time being, badly burned. Tidi-
back was at the face of the tunnel when
the explosion occurred, and he Jared
better than those who were scattered
about in different parts of the tunnel
and at the bottom of the slope. The
men were all badly burned and their
sutferings were intense. In short time
the news spread and hundreds fiocled to
the scene of the disaster. There they
waited with great anxiety until the
men were hoisted from the slope to
learn if their sons, husbands or brothers
We're among the victims. Not until the
last man was taken from the mine did
the excitement abate. The colliery of
ficials removed the men to their homes.
Physicians We're summoned and every
thing done to alleviate their sufferings.
