dwelling upon the importance of main
tanning their rates, a special meeting of
the Western Traffic Association is re-
quested to be called. Missouri Pacific

Action on these charges was deferred

La Grippe.

The tendency of this disease toward
pneumonia is what makes it dangerous.
La Grippe requires precisely the same
treatment as a severe cold. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is famous for its
cure of severe colds. This remedy
effec.ually counteracts the tendency Of
the disease to result in pneumonia, bro.
exposure when recovering from the
attack. Careful inquiry among the many
thousands who have used this remedy dur
ing the cpidemics of the past two years
has failed to discover a single case that
has not recovered or that has resulted 10

discovered important evidence in the
doctors favor. They say one of the
prosecutions witnesses, whose name is
withheld. told several persons while under
the influence of liquor, that he sent the

reason for not coming forward before and
telling it that they did not care to become
mixed up in the case. 1t is expected an

WASHINGTON, Jan. ia dispatch
printed here states Capt. Evans has re-
ported to the department that four of the
best cruisers in the Chilean navy will leave
Valparaiso on Jan. GOTH, for the straits
of Magellan, with a torpedo boat besides.
From another officer comes the
additional information that the captain
of one of the English ships of war in those
waters. said the Chilean commander in.
formed him the fleet was going on a
special mission. You may be astonished
before long," he said. This news is
interpreted to mean that Admiral
Walkers fleet may be halted there and
directed to turn back or risk a fight.
This Is the most serious indication OF
Chile's hostile intention the Eavy depart
ment has received. Naval officers say it
can only mean one thing. which is that
Chile intends opening the ball herself.
The vessels to go are said to be the Es-
meralda. Almirante, Cochrane, Pinto, a
new unarmoured cruiser whose sailing
rate is nineteen knots, and the Condell,
the torpedo boat that blew up the Blan-
cox Encalada.
Admiral Walker in his flagship
Chicago, arrived at Montevideo Jan. IL.
He was today informed of what might
await him and warned to make ready for
it. For the FIRST time there is real alarm
here at the threatened danger to Admiral
Walker. His squadron is not equipped
with t%orpedoes and the Chicago might be
blown up in spite of the utmost vigilance,
1t would be a daring and plucky at
tempt, but so was the successful attempt
on the Blancox Encalada. Captain
Evans also informed the department he
is taking the most extreme precautions on
account of what he has been told for the
safety of the Yorktown. He does not
irtend to be blown out of the water If he
can help il.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is Secretary
Tracy this afternoon cabled Commander
Evans. of the Yorktown, at Valparaiso,
%instructing him 10 take the Balmacedist
refugees now under his protection to
Cal!ao and land them there. but to use
his dircretion as to the time OF his de-
parture. The departure of the Yorktown
from Valparaiso would leave the United
States without a single naval vessel In
Chilean waters. the Boston being at
Callao. The Yorktown could hardly
make the trip and return in less than a
week.
AS Captain Evans is vested with iull
discretion 1t is not regarded as likely that
he will leave Valparaiso until he is re.
lIeved by another vessel or Is thoroughly
satisfied the condition of affairs in Chile
justified him in leaving the United States
minister without any means of getting
out of that country in the event that cir
cumstances made it desirable or necessary
for him to do so; therefore it is regarded
as probable the Boston will be sent to
Valparaiso, although at the navy depart
ment it is asserted that no orders bearing
on this subject have been sent.

CHICAGO, Jan. lS.-What may be re-
garded as a significant incident was the
receipt at army headquarters here today
a large number of maps. They were
taken from a survey made in 1887 and are
said to show the exact position of every
fortified spot along the Chilean coast.
Gen. Miles declines to discuss the Chilean
affair or the receipt of the maps. One of
of his aides. Capt. Maus. said Valparaiso
Is well fortified, but in his opinion the
guns of our largest wal vessels could
silence the batteries of that city in a short
time. Capt. Maus said the maps were
sent merely that tho officers might become
acquainted with the situation; that the
army officers all over the country are
brushing up their knowledge of the
Chileaus strength.
