State. When informed of the nature
OF the ultimatum sent by Secretary
Blaine they expressed considerable
surprise at its terms, and without for
mally committing themselves both
agreed that it would be a supine act to
now Withdraw Matta's letter
They expressed the hope that at the
meeting of the council of State in con-
junction with the Cabinet to-day a
peaceful solution of the difficulty might
be arranged.
Judge Alfonso, who is well known to
Secretary Blaine, said that any war be-
tween the two countries would be ex-
ceedingly foolish, and he was fully con-
vinced that the United States did not
desire to humiliate Chile.
The Chilean public is not aware of
the gravity of the present situation. nor
does it know that the American ulti-
matum has been received.
Mr. Kennedy, the British Minister.
acting under instructions from tho
home government, went to Santiago
yesterday morning to offer his friendly
Offices as a mediator.

AMUSING EXPERIMENTS,
Tricks which Appear Easy, but Are In
Reality Difficult.

Reality Difficult.
1t seems a very easy trick to sweep
a cent out OF the hand. but II done
fairly it is really difficult. says the
Youths Companion. Open the hand
naturally and place the cent on the
palm. then ask someone to brush it
out with whisk- broom.
After repeated efforts 1t will proba-
bly, be suspected that the cent is fas,-
ened in your hand in some way In
ORDER to prove that it is not, let the
sweeper place it on his own palm and
he will find it remains as immovable
there as when he tried to sweep it
from the hand of the other person.
A few persons have fat palms. The
cent may easily be swept off from such
palms. but they are not common.
1t requires not little patience to
pick up an apple with d spoon. Place
largo round apple. stem up on a
smooth floor; then try to take 1t up
with a spoon. The very effort of try
ing to get the spoon under the apple
starts 1t rolling, to the amusement OF
the on-lookers. If done quickly
enough. the apple can be taken up
while in motion; but the proper way
is to wait until it ceases to roll and
then carefully push the spoon far
enough under the apple to get the
center of gravity over the spoon. when
there is no difficulty in picking it up
How to cut an apple and not break

the needle the last time through the
first hole made. The thread is entire

its skin. Take firm hold of each
end of the thread and holding both OF
the ends well together to prevent tear

The thread cuts its way slowly

pieces. when the thread is withdrawn
through the tiny hole made by the
needle.

PRIVATE NEWS FROM CHILL.
The Trouble About Refugees as Told to
New York Firm.


New YORK, Jan. w. r. Grace Il
Co. asked their house in Valparaiso by
cable for the facts regarding the re-
ported change of mind on the part OF
the Gillian government about the dis
position to ODE made of the refugees
transferred from the American legation
to the United States ship Yorktown.
The firm has received reply by cable,
and Mr.. Grace said yesterday:
1.-THE government of Chile never had
any knowledge Of the transfer by Mr..
Egan of the refugees from Santiago to
the American vessel This was made
without any official recognition by
Chile. The transaction was, however,
winked at or permitted by them in
Difference to the desires of
the United States government, and
as profession of ths;r good will
toward the United States. As sooa,
however, as the refugees were placed
on board the Yorktown Capt Evans
officially notified the commander of the
marine district, known as Valparaiso,
that the refugees were about to be
ers which make trip along the west
coast of South America, touching ten
ports in Chile before arriving at a Pc.
ruvian port.
The commander of the marine dis
trlct merely answered officially to the
Captain of the Yorktown that the re-
fugees would have to take whatever
risks in the matter that might apply to
them as refugees from Justice So that
it is explained that the Captain CT the
Yorktown did not understand the
whole position and seemed to forget for
a moment that under the constitution
of Chilli no power vested in the execu-
tive would be sufficient for him to
guarantee the safety of the refugees if
they exposed themselves to the action of
the municipal authorities at the differ
emit ports in Chile where the steamers
might stop and where the public prose-
cutor might apply for or a judge might
ask for their arrest This proves, as
strongly as could be desired, that the
government of Chile is DESTROYS of COM
plying in every way consistent, with
their powers in the premises, with no,
only the rights but with the desires OF
the United States government in any
questions that have arisen between the
two countries. The idea that the salute
tired by the Yorktown in honor of the
Spanish minister when he came on
board with the refugees had any effect
upon the mind of the Chilean people is
treated with ridicule in Valparaiso"

short arc of a circle as the crank turns

course, utilized and tho bottom of the

sizes ranging from two to fifteen horse
power, and Some of the smaller ones can
be run az 1000 revolutions per minute.
The engine can be suspended from beam
