TIE SHIELDS CASE.
Senator Morgan, who is the leading
Democratic member of the Senate Com
mIftee on Foreign Relations, is particular
lv indignant al the revelations in the case
az Patrick Shields, the fireman of the
American steamer keweenaw. who was
cruelty treated ~ a Chilean prison. lie
declare. that Shields ls undoubtedly entl-
tld On tho protection OF the American
Government. az ne was serving on an
American vessel. lie predicted that the
CAlon Government would never raise the
Question of Shields's citizenship. as had
been suggested. in view of the fact that he
is au lrishmau and has not been natural
l1ed, as a plea for refusing reparation.
UNvIsr TO rRECirITATE DISCUSSION.
in the House the members of the Foreign
Affairs Committee have discouraged all
who spoke 90 them in favor OF calling for
TIE correspondence. but there has been no
consultation among the members OF the
committee as whole on the subject.
Members OF the committee SAID that 1t
would not be wise to preciptate discus
si.u lu tre House while the correspond
tuce Was incomplete, for fear that lli-con-
Nlefcd utterances or action might result
ln embarrassing negotiations. II, indeed. II
do n9t prevent an honorable understand
us rom being reached.
ElTUGrEs on THE YORKTOWN.
MAsnN0rOS, January lS.-Secretary
Tracy to-day received a cable message
ifom Commander Evans, Of the gun-boat
Yorktown at Valparaiso. saying that the
la.i % the Chilean political refugees who
AAfo been under the protection Of the dir
icfrlt legations at santiago were safely
transferred 10 the Yorktown yesterday.
lhIe were seven of these refugees, he
safs-hye az tine United States legation
and two al the Spanish Legation. They
wore accompanied from Santiago TO the
Yorktown hy the American, Italian. and
spanish Ministers, aud will remain on the
vessel until the 10th instant, when they
W.u be transferred TO the Pacific Mail
steamer Tor Panama eIs route for Europe.
ihe dispatch says nothing IN regard 10
its condition Of affairs in Chile. II is
therefore assumed that there IS nothing TO
feron on that subject. There were origi-
lh'N fourteen refugees at the different
legations when the present administration
cas-, lnto power. Five of these were sub
sesueuily allowed 10 leave IN peace. The
remaining nino are now on the York
town.
