BALMACEDA B0ASTFUL.
a CLAIM THAT THE INSURGENTS
ARE VIRTUALLY BEATEN.

Their Fight Prolonged Only to Secure
the Duties From the Nitrate Depos-
its-Ninetesn Provinces Claimed to
Be Under the Presidents Control
Overtures TO Peru.
LONDON, June q. "A dispatch published
here to-day from the Chilean government,
presided over by President Balnaceda and
dated from Santiago de Chile, says that the
rebels have lost all moral fierce, and that
all action upon their part in the south has
ceased. On the other hand, the dispatch
states that President Balmaceda is taking
active steps to increase the strength of bis
army, and that the loyal warships are at
taoking the rebel ports, while the rebel
squadron avoids fighting. The President,
1t appears from this cable message, walks
freely in the streets of Santiago, which
city Is said to be entirely on his side.
WHY THEY HOLD OUT.
In conclusion a statement is made that
the rebels are prolonging the war solely to
enrich themselves with the nitrate deposits
OF Tarapaca. 1t is also asserted that the
constitutional congress sits with reg dlsrity,
passes measures III the interest Of tue people
and furnishes the government with ample
resources. Nineteen provinces, il is further
stated, are under the control of President
Balmaoeda. These provinces are inhabited
by 5000, 900 people, while the rebel prov
inces. according to the cable from Santiago,
are only inhabited by 10000 people, one
half of whom are said to be foreigners.

WASHINGTON, June 23 "A telegram re
ceived here to-day from Paris states that

The Institution IS Years Old and Re
sumption Expected.
NASHVILLE. TENN, June 23.-Up to a
late hour last evening quite crowd Of de-
positors fingered at the doors of the Nash
vile Savings Bank, which failed yesterday.
Hon. John Ruhm, attorney for the bank,
is still engaged in shaping up the assign
ment. The Messrs. Sax say that they have
put every dollar of their assets, both of the
bank and their personal property,
into the assignment. Not only
we're the expressions of regret
general at the unexpected event, but
proffers of substantial aid were made i'm
mediately from all sides. The institution
has been in existence something over a
quarter of century, and has been through-
out this period one of the most highly es-
teemed banking houses in Nashville. 1t is
hoped that within few weeks business will
be resumed. Among the principal creditors
are the First National bank, s65. .8l3; Fourth
National Bank. S22. $50; American National
Bank, S19 900; n. NJ. Martin. $4,000;
A. L. Lands & Co., $4,000; Commercial
National Bank, $1,000; John s. Brands
ford, $4,000. all Of which are secured. The
assets, consisting of loans. overdrsfts.
stocks, bonds, cash aud real estate, are
fully equal TO the liabilities.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sioners Worn Out With Work.
WASHINGTON, June 23.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission faces con-
stantly increasing work with a dimin-
ishing strength. For nearly two years
Chairman Cooley has been almost con-
stantly unable to act with the commission
by reason Of illness, and he now seems to be
so backward that there is little probability
Of his being able to resume his duties for
several months. Mr.. Bragg of Ala
lama, the republican member
Of the commission, has been more or less i'll
with complication of disorders superin-
duced by a severe attack Of the grip. He
recovered sufficiently to make the western
tour just completed by the commission. but
he has returned greatly exhausted by
the exciting work and by the
muggy weather and is now un.
able to sit with the commission.
His friends think he must take long rest
il he is to continue on the commission.
Consequently the three remaining members
of the commission must do double work.
As the commission, unlike the courts,
takes no regular vacation, it would not be
surprising If the commissioners would be
seriously afflicted by 1t, being no longer
young men.

OZBURN'S LAST CHANCE.
OPINION DIVIDED ON THE QUEs-
TON OF HIS SANITY.

Several Physicians Visit Him in His
Cell in Order to Be Able to Give
Opinions as Experts as to His Men
tel condition--Worko on the Gibbet
Progressing.
ATLANTA, GA, June 23.-To-day Charles
Ozburn. the murderer, condemned to be ex-
ecuted here next Saturday, was visited by
number of reputable physicians, who ex-
amined him TO prepare themselves to give
expert opinions concerning his mental con-
dition before the jury summoned to pass
upon his sanity Tomorrow mor1ing. The
doctors seemed to agree that the prisoners
physical state was not so bad as to Justify
the report that he was in danger of imme-
diate death from his disease. They, how
ever, declined TO discuss the condition of his
mind in advance Of to-morrow's inquiry.
Public opinion on the subject is still di-
vided.
DosKD WITH DRUGS.
&. l.. Bradley. brother of the man Ozburn
killed, insists that the murderer Is dosed
within an inch of his life with whiskey and
morphine but otherwise is never crazy,
except when conscious of being watched.
This opinion is shared by many persons
having less cause for personel
bias than Mr.. Bradley, but the
impression that Ozburn wsll be adjudgsd
insane seems to be growing. Meantime pre-
parations for the hanging are going for ,
ward, and il the jury decide that tho
murderer is of sound mind the gallows will
go up like magic.
ALL IN DOUBT.
The result Of careful inquiry is not such as
to justify an opinion concerning the proba-
BILE outcome Of the investigation, but in the
light Of all the circumstances he would bs a
bold man who should venture to predict
that the jury will sec reason to prevent toe
execution. The quantities Of liquor and NOR
phine said to have been swallowed by the
prisoner will doubtless have great weight
IN determining the verdict. The Jury inqln-
rendo de Iunatico has been drawn from the
grand jury list of the county.
