The Ancestral Seat.
There are great many interesting
things in the ''Mrs. Jonathan Abroad, :"
but thev are not so entertaining as the
remarks which Mr.. Bonynge made
about that publication some two months
ago when in this city. He denied the
several statements, and said: 81 shall
not stop with mere libel suits: l shall
put them in the penitentiary." as
By '.them' he meant the Mackays, to
whom he attaches the responsibility of
printing MRS. Jonathan Abroad" He
asserted that it is fact that his wife is
the daughter of Southern planter, and
of .sCol. Hungerford," who is described
in the book as Mrs. Mackay's father,
Mr.. Bonynge said: -
"COlonel! Why, the man was BARI
Der, and that ancestral seat she talks
about was barber's chair. The man
had little shop here in New York and
afterward in California. He was my
barber there: shaved me many and
many time. And deyilish good bar
Der ne was. too, can say that much for
him."
Mr.. Bonynge asserted that he never
circulated or caused to be circulated any
stories derogatory to Mrs. Mackay. He
knew such things were said. but as to
their origin he professed absolute ignor-
ance. He added that the Mackays were
responsible for the breaking off of the
engagement between Lord Cantelupe
and his daughter through the means Of
anonymous publications, but said:

the first attack was opened on us, and
fully 500 copies of the paper were

THE REBELS MAY lombard VALPARAISO
CONFLICTING DISPATCHES RECEIVED IN PARIS
AND WASHINGTON.

AND WASHINGTON.
Paris, May 29.-Dispatches received here from Chill
say that the insurgents contrary 10 their promises.
now threaten to lombard the civ of Valparaiso. In
view Of these threats the defences Of Valparaiso are
being huredly strengthened IN the threatened city
and in Paris II is believed that the foreign Powers
will intervene should the insurgents attempt TO carry
out the threat Of bombsrdmont.
Washington, May 20.-Dispatches from Gillian
sources received in this city to-day say that no at
tack upon Valparaiso is expected, and that the de-
fences OF the city have not been strengthened The
defence Of the city is in The hands Of RearAdmira
Oscar Vel, soldier of experience and ability ashore
and ahoat. 1t is stated that tile Gillian Government
feet is to be recruited by swift and we'll equipped
cruisers Just built in Europe.
There is disposition the part Of this Gov
eminent so far can be learned, to intervene" in
the Gillian contest. for the meaning of this term in
the other. Neither the Government of the United
States nor presumably the Government of any other
nation is prepared at present to go this length. As
repeatedly stated. tho United States Minister to Chill
and the Ministers OF France and Brazil stand ready
to mediate between the factions In the interest Of
peace; but this is distinctly different function from
Intervention. II the insurgents should attempt to
lombard Valparaiso, It is than probable that the
foreign Ministers there would enter an energetic pro-
test, based the fact that the foreign interests in
that city larger than the native Gillian interest
In view Of this large interest, it may be that the pro-
test, II disregared, may be enforced by the foreign
fleets CHILEAN waters but their action would go no
further than was necessary to protect the property
and lives OF foreign subjects and the Chilans would
be left to fight their own battles.

The London papers have announced that Miss
Lillian Russell is to sing this at the Lyric
Theatre in La Cigae," in which Miss Geraldine Ulmar
is now singing the leading part Miss Russelrs con-
tract at the Casino expires about the middle of An
gust and on October 26 she is to begin, as has been
announced season at the Garden Theatre In I" La
Cgale.n These facts all taken together, gave rise to
rumor that she would escape In some way from her
contract with T. Henry French, and would stay in
London all next winter, under the management OF
Augustus Harris.
Miss Russell told some friends not long ago that she
had received an offer of goo a week from
Mr. Harris for next season. and that, OF
course gave additional color to the report
On being questioned about the affair last night, she
said that she had been asked by Mrs. sedger
Augustus Harris's daughter. who is virtually man.

she thought that she might do If she should ac-

Miss Russells appearance at the Garden Is such as
to make IL undesirable for her TO accept even such

City Of Mexico, May 2o.--A dispatch to "The Anglo
American" received at O'Clock last night from AGA
pulco says There is we'll founded report here that
the officers Of the Esmerada which coaled here yester
day, have said that the fugitive Gillian vessel, the
ltata, has gone direct to Melbourne Australia, after
having transferred her arms and ammunition bought
In the United States 10 the Esmeralda. The officers
OF the cruiser have made secret of the fact that
they had communication with the Itata on May TO-"
Before leaving Acapulco last night Of the
superior officers Of the Esmeralda stated that
plant had boon made against the Mexican authorities
who he said, had acted In perfectly justfable
manner. He said that the greater part Of the coal
received came for them from the United States
Washington, May 30 (speelaD.-The Navy Depart
ment has received a letter from Captain Remey, OF.
the Charleston, dated at Acapulco. II acknowledges
the receipt Of the Departments instructions and tells
OF the welknown fact Of the escape of the Itata up
TO that writing. Captain Remey reports the rumer
that the tata had gone to the Hawaiian Islands, TO
which rumor he says he paid little attention He
adopted a southern course, the principle that
had the Itata to Honolulu, she would be arrested
by tile Iroquois, at that place. The situation OF
affairs could readily be communicated to the United
States force at Hawaii and the Itaas flight In that
direction would not mean her escape by any means
So far rs the officials at the Navy Department know
to-day, the Charleston had not yet left Callao and
said, her course would be southwark, and not north
ward.
