Is Chill to Apologize?

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The president will
not send to Congress tomorrow the cores
spon1ence relating to tho attack upon the
Batimore's sailors at Valparaiso. The I'M
official announcement of the practical com
pletion of the judicial proceedings in Val
paraiso and the intention OF the Gillian
legal authorities to punish three Chilians
convicted Of participation in tho assault has
given satisfaction here and is regarded rs
distinct concession by tho Chilians to tho
United States, as showing that there probe-
bly, will not be any further undue delay in
the disposition OF the case.
1t is thought Minister Mont will await the
sentence of the convicted Chilians before he
officially presents to tho secretary the con-
illusions reached by the Gillian judicial au-
thorities. 1t is unlikely that disturbing
element will be intr oduced in the negotia
tons by the publication OF the incomplete
correspondence.
NEW YoRK, Jan. 1.-The Herald's CORE
spondent at Valparaiso telegraphs: 81 hear
that the Gillian government has cabled or
ders to Minister Montt at Washington to
make u sincere apology to the United States
for the attack upon tho Batimore's sailors,
October 1G. The apology is said to be un-
qualified in character. Other matters
which have been in dispute between Chill
and the United States will be speedily con-
sidered by the new administration.

STABBED IN THE BACK. =
Capt, sohley's story OF tho Attack on TIN
Daltimore's Men.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. g. Shortly after
the Baltimore had anchored in the stream,
a press representative boarded her and in
terviewed Capt. Schley, who stated that
the reports teiegraphed to this country re-
garding the attack on number of his men
in the harbor of Valparaiso were subs an
TALLY correct.
He stated that one very significant fea-
ture of the assault on the Baltimore's men
was that everyone of them was stabbed in
the back and that soldiers, police and sailors
took part in the affair. None of the
Baltimore's men was armed. The
captain said that a half dozen Of his man, if
they had been provided with weapons,
could have stood or the 300 Chilians, as
they were lot OF towards. Further tha
this Capt. Schley refused to talk. The flu
ture movements OF the Baltimore are al
present unknown.
humorous Rumors at Washington.
WASHINGTON, jan. 5.-Secretary Blaine
and Senior Montt the Gillian minister had
a long conference at the formers residence
to- day. 1t is rumored that Mr.. Montt has
received copy of the report Of the Balti
more incident and that no furnished copy
to Mr.. Blaine to-day but this cannot be
verified. Another report is that he has re-
ceived instructions from Santiago to make a
full apology. But this also lacks conilrma-
ton.

When the polls closed the inspectors OF

when the policemen of the city, who are

were repulsed, although several times re-

In the Fourth Ward of Cohoes the Ger

The Obscure" hotel was found to be

Jersey City Democrats Defeated at Every
Point Make a Last Desperate Move
The Republican Plurality at Least
2,OOO-The Ring Overthrow.
ESPECIAL TO THE SEws,I

NEW YORK, April 13.-A tidal wave OF
popular indignation struck Jersey City
yesterday, and seemed to have wiped out
the Democratic ring which has SO long
cursed that municipality. Although the
returns came in slowly, they indicated
that Col. Peter +. Wanser, the Republi-
can candidate, had carried the day by
about 1000 majority. The ring official
gave the contest up then. and conceded
the Republican candidates election.
Although no district was complete at
that hour Wanser was ahead, 1881, and
the precincts yet to be heard from were
strong Republican majority. The Demo-
cratic leaders concede that Wanser will
carry the Third. Fourth. Fifth and Sixth
Districts. leaving only the First and
Second for McDermott.
New YORK, April f3.-The crowd VIII ich
waited around the CITY Hall In Jersey
City to hear the result of the charter
election were thrown into a panic shortly
after ! O'Clock this morning by the cry OF
fire. Almost Immediately flames and
smoke were seen coming from the build
ing. 1t was rumored that the fire had
been started by some OF the gang OF re-
peaters who had been imported from this
city to take a baud in the election, and
that there was a plot to destroy the cleo
ton returns, or In some way interfere
with the result of the peoples vote.
Although the flames had gained consid-
cradle Roadway the firemen quickly
checked them. The fire started In a bun-
die of papers over the safe in the second
story OF the building occupied by the city
comptroller and treasurer George Hough.
A good deal OF woodwork and wainscot-
ing were burned, but the loss will not be
heavy.
A great deal of excitement prevailed
throughout. the crowd being inclined to
believe that the fire had its origin in some
political plot. There was nothing in
iammable or likely to aus flames in the
office where 1t originated. No gas was
lighted there md there was no fire in the
stove.
LATER.-The police now believe that the
fire was caused by a grounded telephone
wire which had been crossed by an electric
light wire. The electric light directly in
front of the building worked poorly all
night, and this fact, taken in connection
with the position in which the telephone
wire was found convinces the police that
the fire was caused by the cross.

More Ships Wanted,

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April l3.-There is
to be a very sharp contest in the House
over the Naval Appropriation bill. A
number of prominent New York and
Eastern Democrats will strongly urge an
increase in the number of ships to be con
structed together with gunboats and tor
pedo boats. They think that now is the
time to provide for the building of this
class Of ships. They do not regard the
argument made by the naval committee
Of n lack Of armor as Conclusive against
