number of sailors of the United States steamer
Baltimore were walking along the street when
they were confronted by some sailors Of Chill
can man-of-war. Some words pass when fierce
fight followed. Knives and pistols were freely
used during the squabble. When the combat
ants were separated by the police and bystand-
ers 1t was found that one of the Baltimore's
sailors was killed and five seriously wounded.
Several Chilean sailors were badly hurt This
was the first time the Baltimore's sailors had
been ashore for a month. The intendente of
the city had assured Captain sehley that his
sailors would be perfectly safe on Chilean soil
The feeling today between the Americans and
Chileans is very strong. Several additional
fights occurred today among sailors, but not so
serious as yesterdays. The dead sailor OF the
Baltimore will be buried tomorrow. An armed
force will be landed from the Baltimore to fur

WASHINGTON CITY, Oct. 17.-General Miles, in
his annual report, reviews at length the Indian
outbreak of last winter, attributing it largely,
as he did at the time to failure of the crops and
failure of the government to properly perform
its obligations in regard to rations, etc OF the
Messiah craze he says the fanaticism and super
stition of the people were taken advantage of
by the leaders to encourage them to hostilities.
He commends the administration of Captain
Penny as acting agent at Pine Ridge, and says
that through additional appropriations the In
dams now receive nearly half as much
more than they did year ago.
However, the fires OF discord still remain The
commanders have discovered communications
going on between the different camps melting
the Indians to hostilities, and even now (Sep-

Booming the Naval Reserves.

TACOMA, Oct H-Ispecial.l-W. H. Cushman
and others who favor the establishment OF naval
reserves for the Pacific Northwest at Tacoma,
Seattle, Olympia, Bellingham Bay and Port
Townsend, advocate immediate organization
and the election of officers, so that in event of
special session of the legislature bill can be
passed which will bring the matter to the atten-
ton OF congress and secure part OF the $4,000
appropriation made by congress for such service.
Colonel J. N. Steele, one of the original pro-
motors of the naval reserve proposition, has
written Secretary Foster asking III one OF the old
war ships, not suitable for service in cruising
across the ocean, cannot be sent here for use by
the young men who would join the reserve.
Colonel Steele believes 100 young men from this
city would Join the local reserve.
