1t is reported that a battle has oc-
Cured at Tongoy between the govern

but nothing is yet known as to the re-
suit of the engagement, if one has actu-

The revolutionists have occupied Lii
mache Alto, province of Valparaiso, and
have seized upon the National factories
there after having expelled the govern
mental director, who remained loyal to
the fortunes of President Balmaseda.
Quilota, town of about 10000 popu-
lation, in the same province, has also
been captured by the rebels. The pro-
Iongation of the struggle is having so
disastrous an effect upon the property
of foreigners resident in Chill
that the various diplomatic repre-
sentatives of foreign nations at
Santiago de Chill have threatened
to Immediately leave the capital
and embark on the war vessels of differ
ent nationalities now lying off the coast
of Chill unless the conflict is brought to
a speedy conclusion. To this threat
President Balmaseda has responded by
requesting the members of the diplo-

Intimation That Autonomy May BE

Granted Nohemia.
According to Berlin dispatch much
surprise has been aroused in headquar-
ters by the intimation in The Vienna
Gazette that autonomy may be granted
to Bohemia. The opinion is expressed
that to create Bohemia an autonomous
state would be to establish pro-Russia
Slav stronghold in the heart of the
triple alliance The young Czechs es-
pecially have shown themselves bitterly
hostile to Germany, and they represent
Bohemian population of 5000, 600, all
of them friendly to Russia, and opposed
to any ties of comfy between the Aus
trian and German empires.
1--WE distrust Germany said Tokla,
one of their leaders, "as we have found
from experience that. since our alliance
with her, our military expenses have
been constantly increasing, and Ger
many, moreover, has always played a
false game with us in Austria. Germany
is also the greatest enemy of the Slavs
and the Prussian government does the
work of hangman in Prussian Poland.

LEPROSY IN RUSSIA
Increasing Among the Poorer Russians
and Russian jews

and Russian jews
A dispatch from Odessa says that con-
siderable alarm exists over the growing
prevalence of leprosy among the poorer
classes of Russians and Russian Jews.
The authorities, instead of moving to
stamp out the disease have done all they
could to stife information on the sub
iect, and prevent the truth from reach
ing the public in Russia and abroad
Now, however, they have themselves
taken alarm and steps are proposed to
desolate the discovered cases. 1t is be-
ieved that some of the emigrants to
America have carried leprosy with
them, as most of the emigrants belong
to the poor and uncleanly class among
whom the disease finds its victims.
The weight of Russian medical opinion
is that the disease is propagated only by

But is in Every Way Making Prepara-
tions for War.
Advices from Berlin state that, while
the KAISER breaches peace he loses no op-
portunity to impress martial lessons on
the people. He has ordered that the
long bridge at Potsdam, leading from
the station to the town, shall be adorned
with sculpture of a military character,
illustrating the military glories of PTus-
sia under his grandfather and Frederick
the Great, and intended, it is believed
as an offset to the famous bridge of
Jena at Paris.
The kaiser is also educating his
brother, Prince Henry to represent him
as regent. in the event of any prolonged
absence such as a war might necessitate,
for it is well understood to be the
kaiser's intention in the event of war,
to lead his armies in person. Prince
Henry is to be trained by Herr Herr
furth, minister of the interior, to the con-
troll of general state work and the admin
istration of hcme affairs, and he will
hereafter assist the emperor in the direc-
ton of those affairs, the kaiser reserving
military matters for his own direct su-
pervision. The evident tendency of the
Berlin press to deny that the kaiser has
any taint of cancer, as an incurable dis
ease, would. under the constitution, dis

LONDON, Jan. 2S.-1exts of an alleged
