Died of NepIect.

VALEJo, CAL, January 1A-The surgeons
of the Baltimore testify that Turnbull died
from neglect Ia the hospital at Valparaiso.
The surgeons and officers of the Baltimore
asked that Turnbun might be carried aboi RI
ship, where he could be properly cared for,
but were refused.
From the summing up by the surgeons it
appears that as q result of the mob, two sail
ors of the Baltimore were killed, five seriously
wounded, being disabled for from nine to
forty-four days, and twelve received slight
wounds. being disabled from two to eight
days. 1t further appeard that if Riggin had
not been shot he would probably have recov-
cred, as the knife wounds were not very seri-
Gus.
Commenting on the evidence given az the
Baltimore inquiry, the Bulletin says: 1T is
very different from the colorless reports of
Procura.or Fiscal, OF Valparaiso. 1t is a
story OF one of the most wanlon, revengeful
and cowardly OutrRges which can be found
anywhere IN modern history"
The Post says: The evidence shows that
among the esSailants were the VALPARAISO
police and soldiers IN Uniform Such being
the facts, It Il clear that the United States
cannot be satisfied with simply an apology
accompanied by assertions Of reg1et There
must be null and complete reparation with
indemnity for the men who were wounded
and the families of those killed.

the house with intention of adding to the in
surance; but had not had the policies writ

The second fire started in the basement of
the first tall building south of Ninth street.
on the west side of Kansas avenue. The
basement was filed with stored records and
files of the claims department of the Santa
Fe railroad. The rest of the building was
occupied by the Reed-Martin Printing COM
pany and NJ. o. Frost, Job printer.
The hremen were much hampered in their
work by the cold, as their hose rapidly took
the form of icicles, which discharged mush
ice part of the time.
The Reed Printing company had recently
allowed $1,000 of insurance to expire and
were without a dollar of insurance.

The Baltimore investigation Com
r,Iafad

Vallejo, CAL, January 15.-The Baltimore
investigation is completed. Byune testimony
of sailors the facts were clearly brought out
that the attack was premeditated. and that
the police and soldiers aided the mob in the
deadly work.
The medical officers testimony shows Grim
inal neglect of the wounded sailors in the
Valparaiso hospital.
The senior officers testified as to the legal
proceedings in Valparaiso, bringing out clearly
the failure of the Valparaiso court to estab-
lish anything to the detriment of the sailors,
and tine care which the judge of crimes ezer-
cised in avoiding an investigation that might
bring forth reflections on the Valparaiso
police.
CCaptain Schley, on taking the stand, gave
a resume of the whole history since the vessel
reached Valparaiso. He spoke over an hour
and was listened to with great attention. He
showed forth plainly the inception and growth
of the anti-American feeling among the Chill
ians and the many discOurtesies he and his
sailors were subjected to.
Lieutenant McCrea also testified as to the
Ill feeling toward Americans.

McALEsrER, I. T., January 1s.-In an in
terview William Cameron, superintendent of
the mines, said:
''Thirty-nine men were killed IN the mine
and eighteen have died since. The company
can IN no way be held responsible for the ex-
ploslon, as the mine has been carefully exam
med by experts, who claim the ventilation
was good and there was no gas IN any part of
the mine. The fault was IN the entrynnan
firing his shots contrary to orders, which
were not TO be fired until 80 p. n, when all
never stopped running and the 196 live men
were taken out within seven hours after the
explosion, thus showing splendid manage
