THICK WAR CLOUDS
A Fight With Chilli Seems
Inevitable.
CONSUL McREARY's REPORT.
He Fears for His Life and Says the
Hostile Feeling is Increasing.

The Presidents Special Message on the
Subject to be Transmitted to Congress
nt Noon Wednesday Orders ISSUED
to the Recruiting Commander at New
York to take All the Men that Offer
Their Service.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-It is now evil
dent to the most skeptical that the
country is upon the verge of a war, and
that in a region that six months ago
showed no sign.
The President has informed his Cabinet
of many things he had not mentioned be-
fore. Two weeks ago he directed that
each United States consul in Chilli be
called upon for a confidential report
touching the sentiments of the people
where he is stationed toward the United
States.
These reports have been arriving for
the last week. They are unanimous in
stating that there is an extremely un-
friendly sentiment against this country.
The report of Consul McCreary at Val
paraiso is particularly interesting. This
official knows the people we'll, speaks the
language and is intimate with some of
the leading native families.
Until the last month, 1" said McOreary,
II had no uneaSlneSS in regard to nv
personal safety, but since then l have
been warned that l must be careful when
out at night-that there are persons
who will take advantage of any oppor-
tunity that offers to do me serious injury
not because of anything 1 have done
but simply on account of their uncon-
: trollable hatred of the United States.
''All sorts of stories are current among
the populace of Santiago and Valparaiso
about Minister Egan. He is charged with
having received immense sums for pro-
tecting the refugees lately under his roof
and of aiding Balmaceda in every way
possible.
The reports created a profound sensa-
ton. The President then outlined his
| present plans. He expects the full report
| Of Judge Advocate Remey's investigation
| by Tuesday next He is fully informed
rs to what it will contain, and is prepar-
ing his message so that it may be ready
| to go to Congress by Wednesday noon.
Confidential orders have been issued to
| the General Superintendent of Recruiting
| ut New York to accept every available
man fit for artillery or infantry. Gen.
| Schoiield intends filling up the infantry
| regiments to their maximum of 1000
rank and file.
| Recruits are coming forward in unusual
| numbers just now, and the reports to-
day are that 300 were accepted from
! from four stations alone this week.
! Everything now looks like trouble.
! Nothing except an apology from Chilli
i will prevent it, and the South American
Minister'S here declare that President
Montt will not dare offer it. They say
his people would despise him If he did.

The French academy's first prize
for virtue, $500 francs, was awarded
this year to Marie Sedier. of Bayonne,
who has devoted herself to placing de-
serted children with peasants and
artisans. In seven years she has res

Queen Victoria was an exhibitor at
a recent horse show, but the animal
she sent was beaten in the competition
and had to be contented with a second
prize. Cattle-show judges have no
more respect for a royal exhibitor than
for farmer who can hardly pay his
rent.
President Eliot of Harvard is rather

There are many prominent men whose

-Apropos of the successful new com

readers to know that he always has his

Claus Sprecl1les, the sugar king, Iis
a man of swarthy face, which contrasts
sharply with his white hair and white
beard. He is of German parentage and
never tried to learn English well, so
that when he speaks rapidly it is diff
cult matter to understand him. He be-
gan to refine sugar in a small way in
California, and his rise in fortune dates
from the time he was brought into as

SUFFERING AT SEA. =
Narrowing Tale of Captain Davis, of the
Bark Arlington.


NEw YORK, Jan. 16.-Capt ain Davis of
the Nova Scotian bark Arlington, which
arrived at Quarantine from Cork early
i'll the evening; relates story of suffer
ing at sea. On Christmas day he ex-
perienced a severe northwest gale and
on the night of the Goth he fell in with a
wreck which showed evidences of per-
sons on board. He stayed alongside the
wreck all night and in the morning tool
off the Captain and ten of the crew.
They proved to be Captain P T. Doble
and crew of the British bark Countess
of Dufferin, which sailed from St. Johns
N. B., on December 8. The wrecked YES
sci had been in the same gale which
Captain Davis had encountered on De-
cember %. She had filled up and be-
come a total wreck.
They had suffered severely fro II the
cold and were without food or water,
having only the clothing they stood in,
until taken off by the Arlington IS
people.
Captain Doble and his crew were badly
frostbitten. On January Z the ship
wrecked men were transferred to the
British steamship Yesso, bound from
Sunderland for Baltimore.

spAIN AND The FAIR.
LITTLE Cooperation Need he Expected
From that Country.

Little Cooperation Need he Expected
From that Country.
MADRID, Jan. 1G.-The energy and
activity of Mr.. Little, agent for the Chi
cage Fair to the government and people
OF Spain, have SO far been powerless to
move the Spanish Government to action
In behalf of proper representation at an
event of such historical interest to the
Spaniards. The nation seems paralyzed
with financial troubles, added to natural
inertia.
With army officers and soldiers, teach
ers and other public employees unpaid,
the government is bewildered by any
proposition for outside expenditure
Every penny that comes into the treasury
is clamored for from u dozen sources
The popular feeling is about the same,
and it is feared that much cooperation
need not be looked for from traders and
manufacturers.
The country seems affected by dry
rot, and pride seems to be all that has
survived decay. AS an excuse for mac
ton it is alleged that there is some pique
in official circles over the non-arrival of
the American Commission which was
promised in November. This, however,
is but pretext. The truth is that OFF,
Gals, most of them with salaries long
overdue, scowl at the idea of single
peseta going out of the treasury for any
purpose abroad.

NEwBURYHORT, Mass, Jan. 16.-A man
who said his name was Charles Bell, but
who is known to be Guy Brown, has been
arrested here suspected of the murder of
David B. Sanborn, i'll Salisbury. Inves-
legations establish that Brown hired a
horse and buggy on Thursday morning
in order, as he stated, to drive to Sea-
brook The tracks of horse and wagon
near the spot of the murder, however,
correspond with those made by Browns
rig, and notwithstanding his assertion
that he can prove an alibi, the police are
confident they have the right man. At
the station II box of cartridges were
found in the prisoners possession.

VICTORY FOR THE REBELS.

FOR hEbEl1os
MARACAIBo, May 17.-Confirma
tion of the capture of the city of Boil
var by the insurgents has been re-
ceived here, besides the killing Of
General Rodil. General Lucio Espi.
nosa, government chief in Altoo, Ori-
nico, was made prisoner at Bolivar.
The rebel chieftain Gonzales rode into
Bolivar at the head of column of
cavalry nearly 1000 strong. Espinosa,
who was in command in Rodels alb
sence, made as good defense as he
could but after light brush with
Gen. Gil, surrendered as did 200 troop
ers under him. The men Immediately
enrolled themselves under insurgent
banner. A few were killed or wound
ed on both sides. On the second day
after Gil's raid, Gen. Rodii re entered
the city with large number of re-
cruits and veterans. Exasperated at
the state of things in Bolivar he con-
demned half a dozen military officers
whom he found in the city to be shot
because they had not defeated the

mounted men, proceeded up the right
bank of the Orinoco, to locate the in
surgent camp on the left bank. Be-
fore reaching point which he thought
nearly opposite to where the rebels
were encamped, his troops revolted
took him prisoner and demanded i'm
mediate countermanding of the order
to shoot certain of their comrades al
sunset. Rodil refused to give the or
der and was shot. The soldiers rode
back into Bolivar and found the towr
in the hands of insurgents who haC
taken it without firing o single shot
One of Rodil's guard rode into towr
with the generals head on his saber
Gen. Gil ordered the head and body
inferred. Gen. Gil now occupies Bol
ivar with 200 we'll armed men. Among
the important government Officers
killed lately in the Andes section was
Gen. Manuel Vincento Romero Gar
cia, a brave officer and man of educa

READ WHAT Is ABOUT TO TRANsPIRE
IN GREER COUNTY.
Disappointed Boomers From the Cheyenne
Reservation Anticipate Decision Of the
United States Supreme Court and
Prepare to Jump Claims.

GUTHRIE, o. T., May 1.-THE re-
port reaches here from Greer county
of an alarming state affairs in por-
tions of that county. People who are
now settled there took lands under
the laws of Texas, and many hold GAO
to 1880 acres, having all fenced and
largely improved. Since the recent
ruling of the supreme court adverse
to Texas, it became almost certainty
that the court will finally decide in
favor of the United States and
the land will become public domain
In this case the people now there will
be able to hold only 100 acres each,
and there will be many thousands of
acres of improved lands for other par
ties. A large number of stragglers
from the recent Cheynne and Ara
pahoe openings have learned this fact
and have gone to Greer county to
await the final decision of the court.
While many are acting fairly and
buying the surplus land from the
original settlers, others are preparing
to jump the improvements made by
these people. Old settlers will not
stand this, and are organized to pre-
vent it and protect their rights. The
boomers have also organized.
