WAR NEWS" SCARE
ChiIian Matter Quieting
Down Rapidly.
ABOUT COMMANDER EVANS.
Sketch of the Man Who Showed Sc
Much Spirit at Valparaiso.

" ARLINGTON, Jan. 81. - Secretaries
Blaine, Elkins and Tracy were at the
White House yesterday afternoon in con-
ference with the president for long time
and General j. w. Foster was called in for
consultation The discussion related gen
orally TO the Chilian affair, but the ques-
tion most directly under consideration
was the character Of the presidents mes
sage to congress.
Senor Montt, the Chilian minister, had
Q short interview with Assistant Secretary
Of State Adee, but IL is understood he had
nothing important TO communicate.
Secretary Tracy received a cable message
from Commander Evans saying that the
Yorktown, with the refugees on board
would sail from Valparaiso at once for
Callao. This Is regarded at the navy de-
partment as an indication that affairs are
quiet in Chill Mt present.
An informal meeting of the senate com
mittee on foreign relations was held. It's
understood that nothing concerning the
Chlian situation was broached at the
meeting, and no mention made Of any
thing relating to II.
Commander Evans Record.
The spirited reply of Commander Evans
of the Yorktown to the notification OF the
Chilian minister for foreign affairs that
he had changed his mind In regard 10 al
lowing refugees to leave Chill unmolested
has made many persons curious to know
something about the matter.
Commander Evans Is called Fighting
Bob" but he Is not Of the Acres type. He
was appointed TO the navy from Utah as
an acting midshipman in ls60 was made
an ensign in 1868, master in '65 and at
tanned his present rank in 1873. He is
probably the only officer Of the navy in
active service who is permanently dis
abled. One of his legs is bent nearly
double, the result OF a wound i'm the knee
received during an engagement in the late
war
The story goes that after Commander
Evans was wounded, he was informod by
Q surgeon that it would be necessary to am
putate his leg. Evans swore he would
never submit to the operation, and &C
ccrdine TO the account popular in the
navy department, he placed revolver 20
the surgeons head and threatened TO
shoot him IL any attempt at amputation
Was made The leg was not amputated.
but IL was so badly injured that it left
Commander Evans cripple for life.
He successfully resisted attempts to
place him on the retired list on account Of
his disability and served for many years
on shore duty. Despite his crippled con
dition Commander Evans is n good sailor,
and seems to care more for an active service
than for duty on shore. lie stands well up
near the the head of the list Of command

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-After much cor
respondence the treasury department has
sssented To the request Of the British min
lister that Charles Gibbons. a detained i'm
migrant from Great Britain. he allowed to
land at New York. Gibbons was formerly
a British soldier and is on the British PEN
sion roll. The acting secretary OF the
treasury. in letter to the secretary Of
state, states that itappears 20 be the es-
tablished practice Of the British war Of
flee, particularly in the case of invalid
and disabled pensioners, to commute their
pensions and pay them a lump sum, on
condition they emigrate to some other
country-usually the United States. This
lump sum is not paid to the commuter
until his arrival OH this side. Such COM
mutation Of pension is seldom sufficient to
preserve the immigrant from becoming a
public charge for any length Of time, while
such immigrants are usually. through age
or other disability, unable TO earn .
livelihood. The letter says that Gibbons
case must not be considered precedent
