country" General Butler asserts posi-
lively that Salmon P. Chase sent a
friend to him at Fortress Monroe to So
licit him to accept the vice presidential
nomination of the Republican party, in
case he Chase secured the first place,
and that Simon Cameron made similar

An Appeal for Starving Russia.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1. = Miss Clara
Barton, president of the Red Cross, has
issued an appeal to the American people
to contribute funds to carry donations of
grain to the starving Russian people.
She says that even their planted seed
grain is frozen in the ground; their crop
is lost; the spring brings only bare fields
and the summer no harvest. We know
that our own granaries are filled as
never before; Egypt has corn, and that

seven years of saving and economy,

CATTLE AND HORSES FROZEN.
Hundreds, Probably Thousands, Lost on
the Northwest Ranges.

BOISE, Ida, Feb. 1.--Harrowing re-
ports concerning the starving cattle in
the hills of southern Idaho continue to
come in. j. NJ Taylor, who came down
on snowshoes from the range Thurs
day, reports having seen hundreds of
dead cattle lying in hollows and de-
pressons, where they had taken refuge
from the bitter cold Taylor says that
very few cattle now upon the ranges
will escape, unless chinook springs up
and melts the snow.
On the Russell ranch 800 horses were
unable to find food for nearly two
weeks. They We're upon wide range,
and could not be reached until Tuesday.
When they were found they had de-
voured each others names aud tails.
The poor brutes had also broken into q
shack and chewed up the legs of table
and some stools. Many of the horses
have since died. On another large range
ten large stations We're so badly cut by
the snow crust that they died. They
were found stalled in the snow.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1.-The Interna-
tional Navigation company has ordered
Captain Sargent, commander of lthe
steamship Ohio, recently impressed I by
the United States government, to mold
himself in readiness to resume command
of his ship. The import of this order is
that the government has no immediate
use for the ship since the CHILEAN

ordered back to Philadelphia at any mo-
ment.
An official of the company said; 1.-THE

Cabinet Conclusions Concern

! WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The Chiliar
matter was discussed at the cabinet
meeting Friday. 1t was decided to in.
struct minister Egan to inform the
Chilian minister of foreign affairs
Pereira, that his reply to the note
OF Secretary Blaine of the 21st in.
dictated desire on the part of Che Chill.
ian government to satisfy the United
States of its feeling of regret over the
assault upon the sailors of the Baltimore
in Valparaiso.
The replies as to the Malta note of
dec. III, and the request for the recall
OF Minister Egan, the latter will be di-
rected to say, are entirely satisfactory.
win BE Left TO Chilli.
Such being the case, Che United States
will leave the matter of reEaration to
the sufferers by the assault to Chilli to
initiate according to her sense of justice
and right.
A Salute Necessary.
And with salute of the United
States flag the incident will be CON
sidered closed by this government.
Until Chill makes some offer of repara-
ton, of course there will be nothing to
arbitrate, as no points Of difference
exist. The offer may be so satisfactory
that arbitration on that score will not be
necessary.
Misled by Minister MONT.
A dispatch from Minister Egan was
read, which showed conclusively that
the CHILEAN government had been mis-
led by his dispatches, which had the eff
feet of seriously compromising the gov
eminent in their dealing with the con-
troversy. That official will probably re-
sign or be recalled.
Indemnity Claims.
The next question to come up in the
progress Of affairs with Chill is that of
indemnity to the sufferers by the assault
upon the Baltimore sailorsat Valparaiso.
In this instance, Chill having indicated
her intention of offering reparation,
nothing will be done until that offer is
made.

MINE PRESIDENTS JAILED
RIVAL CLAIMANTS FOR MEXICAN
RICHNESS IN A SCRAPK.

Third Claimant Causes the Trouble
Fraudulent Conduct Charged Ono
Prisoners will Appeal to Secretary
Blaine.
CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 23.-Two rival
claimants to mine which is supposed to be
the fabled Potosi, with its hidden treasure,
are confined in the same room in Belen
prison. Both of the claimants are Presi-
dents of mining companies-one in posses
sion and the other fighting for it. Their
names are Daniel NJ. Burns, of California,
the political boss, and Colonel George
Green, of the Mexican army.
This was all caused by the appearance Of
another claimant, Mark Birmingham, also
of California These three are participants
in the dispute regarding the productive
silver mines of Candelaria, near San Dimos,
State of Sinaloa. These mines have had
and still have the record of being great
bullion producers; and the metal in sight is
said to be fabulous.
Mr.. Burns is in possession of the property
with his associates, and has been working
the mines regularly, with good results.
Colonel George NJ Green, of the Mexican
army, was on Monday afternoon incarcer-
ated in Belen on charge preferred by Mark
Birmingham for defamation of character,
and he still remains there, but said he
expects to be liberated within the next
three days:
Daniel M. Burns and his party of friends,
including some of the stockholders under
his administration, arrived in this city on
Monday last and registered at the Hotel
Iturbide. At about o'clock to-day Burns,
who was in his room at the hotel, was
waited upon by Miguel Cabrera, the chief
of the secret service police Of the city.
who informed him that he was under arrest,
but did not state on what charge. Burns was
taken to Belen and after the formalities of
inscription, confined in the same room oc-
cupied bv Colonel Green.
C. P. Waterhouse, who is interested with
Burns in the Candelaria, says Burns would
soon be released. Burns, after his arrest,
sent many kilograms to his friends in the
United States, including Secretary Blaine,
explaining his awkward predicament.
Mark Birmingham, the accuser of Burns,
said last night that the charge he brought
against him was the fraudulent conduct of
the Candelaria Mines while he was Superin-
teudent
