pnoPPEDFRoMA BURNING SHIP

Confirmation OF Yesterdays Report
of a Disaster At Sea.
LONDON, Jan. 22.-The British steamer
Egyptian Monarch, Captain Irwin, at this
port from New York, where she sailed
January 8, reports that at o'clock on the
morning of January 16, in latitude As
north, longitude 10 west she sighted YES
sci, apparently of American build, on fire
and burning furiously. Judging from the
dense black smoke and the odor, Captain
Irwin concluded that the vessel was laden
with oil. 50 = --
As the steamer approached the burning
craft it was seen that her mssts were gone.
Her bowsprit was standing, and to Il
could be seen clinging. two men.
A lifebost on the steamer was
hastily cleared away to rescue them, but
before it could be lowered the bowsprit
fell, and they were carried into the sea.
Efforts were made to find them, but they
were not sfterward. seen.
Captain Irwin thought It probable that
the boat from the burning vessel were
somewhere in the vicinity, and he there
fore remained near the spot until day
broke, in the hope of picking thsm up. A
| heavy sea was running at the time, and II
| is more than likely that, IL the crew had
managed to get away from their vessel
they were drowned by the capsising of th'
/ small boats.
The burning vessel was undoubtedly tn,
same one that was reported yesterday ~
having been seen on the same day and In
same position by the British steamer I'm

obsoured the view, and when the weather
cleared the vessel had disappeared.
It was generally admitted that the two
American ships have recently been burned
at sea, and that il is probable in both
cases every soul on board was lost. Three
incoming steamers have reported passing
burning steamers, and the opinion eI-
pressed Ii that they were American tank
steamers carrying petroleum to Europe.
IL 10 thought the crews have perished, as
were seen and no boats were discovered.

Natives Killed.
LONDON, Jan. GA dispatch from Paris
to the Times says that the expedition sent
out by the French government, under the
command of Colonel Humbert, against the
tribe of Samory in the French Soudan, to
punish them for their acts of lawlessness
against French subjects, had an engage
ment with the natives on January IL.
The natives greatly outnumbered the
forces of the expedition, but the latter had
the advantage in their arms. After severe
fighting, the natives withdrew. The French
loss was six killed and thirty wounded.
The natives left several hundred of their
number dead on the field.

FACTS ABOUT CHILE.
The Most Powerful Nation in
South America.
ALSO THE BEST GOVERNED.
Fine schools and Universities, and Farm
ing Methods Equal to Our Own-Beau-
tiful Country, Glorious Climate.

The idea is fixed deeply in the American
mind, says the New York Sun. that Chile
is not only the smallest republic, but one
OF the smallest nations, and that her peo-
pie are slender weaklings, who make loud
boasts. but are incapable OF lighting and
at heart towards. The prevalent idea of
the valo- Of South Americans generally is
far from aattering, and most people in this
country consider the ChiIeans less
valorous than the rest. The fact is
that there is no country or no peo-
pie on the face of the earth about which
Americans know less than about Chile and
Chlleans. This is e1cusable. perhaps, for
the reason that there is less literature
about that country than any other. Stu
uated where it is, in the extreme south
ana west Of South America, out of the
lines OF travel and unapproachable except
by sea, It has been skipped over by travel
ers. There are several voluminous his
tories IN the Spanish language and briet

which have attracted no attention. There
has been more written about the savage
tribes of Central Africa than about the
powerful and enlightened republic of
Chile Moreover. very little of Chile's
tremendous trade has come to Amer
lea. Great Britain takes care of that.
In England they know what resources the
country has and what a power she Is.

army, are of mixed race, largely Indian.
They are people of great strength, endur-
ance and ferocity. These common SOL
diers, fthe blood of the warlike Araucan-
ian aborigines, make Chile terrible in war.
They have no fear of q ath and do not
know when they are defeated. In the war
with Peru the enormous proportion OF
dead TO wounded left on the field of battle
has gone into history as a memorial to the
ferocity of these dark-skinned warriors.

abrupt slopes. Suppose the long narrow

cities and villages and crossed with in
Vulnerable torrents carrying the drippings
of the snow-capped mountains TO the sea.
That is Chile reversed, of course. Tor
ChiIe's coast is bathed by the Pacific, and
the sun rises over the white submits of
her volcanoes.
Following out the comparison a little
further, We find that Chiie's territory
would cover the states Of Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,.
Rhode Island, Connecticut, third of New
York, all of New Jersey. half of Pennsyl-
yania, most of Maryland, all of Delaware,
nearly half of Virginia and North Caro-
lima, three-quarters of South Carolina,
half of Georgia. a corner of Alabama and
all Florida.
Chile runs from the fifteenth parallel Of
south latitude well below the hfty-sixth.
The northern provinces grow hot under
tropical sun and bring forth the fruits of
Southern California in profusion and per-
lection. The wild and rocky territory

inviting such persons on the list as
are still approved OF. But after all, the
state balls are, in British social parlance
very mixed affairs" Every prominent
politician has friends, either residents of
the capitol or visitors. and most of these
are tradespeople. One of the A. d. rs In
Lord Lorne's time had the mortihcatIon

quadrilles the person who had been in the
habit of visiting the Hall once a week to
deliver coal oil. He pleaded vertigo and
left the dance, but the coal oil man hunted

and danced the thing through.
