Did Fitzslrnnons XIII snellq

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 6.-There is a
possibility that the murderer Of Million
aire Smell, of Chicago, instead of being
the much hunted and frequently found
Tascott, is Fitzsimmons. While at work
on the trail of the fugitive evidence was
discovered that leads to the belief that
Fitzsiminons was undoubtedly in Chi
cago when the Smell murder was COM
mitted and he left there about that time.
Since then he would never go near Chi
cago and has told his friends many times
that that was the only city in the United
States that he would not visit.

OUR MURDERED TARS
The Convicted Chileans Sentenced
at Valparaiso.
LIGHT PENALTIES INFLICTED.

The Chilean Law Allows That Rig
gins Family MAY Obtain Damages
from Rodriguez as May Turn
bulls from Gometz-Is Mr.. Egan's
House Guarded by Police?
WASHINGTON, Feb 6.-Unofficial in
telligence has been received of the SEN
fencing, at Valparaiso, of the men con-
victed of participation in the assault on
the Baltimore sailors. Little surprise is
expressed at the mildness of the punish
ment inflicted.
Carlos Arena, alias Gomez, gets 920
days imprisonment, which includes $40
days for assaulting Turnbull, who died
of his wounds, 800 days for disorderly
conduct, so days for carrying concealed
weapon and 20 days for giving false
name.
Jose Ahumada gets 800 days for his
part in the assault on Turnbull, and
FREDERICK Rodriguez 40 days for wound
ing Boatswain's Maze Riggin, the other
murdered American.
AS stated in the report after the in
quiry, it is claimed that Riggin died
from shot fired by party unknown,
and not from the wound inflicted by
Rodriguez. However, the Chilean law
allows that Higgins family may obtain
damages from Rodriguez as may Turn
bulls from Gomez.
The department expects to hear from
Minister Egan officially as to the result
of the finding in the Baltimore's sailors
assault case. The sentenced as con-
tained in the press dispatches are
thought to be quite light, and the fact
that no one is held responsible for Rig
gins death provokes some criticism in
official circles.
Concerning Mr.. Egan's House.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-In the absence
of definite information respecting the
reason for placing police guard around
the United States legation in Santiago,
as reported by the correspondent of the
London Times, officials Of the state de-
partment are inclined to doubt the cor
rectness of the report Ii it be true,
however, they look upon it as friendly
intervention in behalf of Mr.. Egan
against the probable assaults of some un-
ruly characters in the city. disposed still
to hold unfriendly sentiments toward
the representative of this government.
Reports from Santiago the past few days
MIR. Egan has greatly improved, espec-
tally in official circles, and upon this
foundation officials in Washington take
a favorable view of the probabilities in
that city.
Movements of Our Cruisers,
The navy department has not heard
from the Philadelphia since she left
Port au Prince, some weeks ago, en-
route for Montevideo. She was ex-
pected to have arrived at Montevideo on
Thursday or Friday. Her delay in not
arriving in the South Atlantic, how
ever, causes no uneasiness. The York
town and Boston still remain at Calloa,
Peru, and if our relations continue
amieable with Chile it is probable that
neither vessel will return to Valparaiso,
but one or both be sent to the China
station. 1t is expected that Admiral
Walker will by easy stages proceed to
Valparaiso. reaching there during the
early summer or late spring.
