STILL ABOARD THE YORKTOWN.
Refugees Escorted Thither BY Egan Do
Not Start Away

Refugees Escorted Thither BY Egan DO
Not Start Away.
New YoRK, Jan. 16.-The Herald's Valpa-
raiso special says definite instructions were
oabled Minister Montt yesterday directing
the withdrawal of Matta's offensive note.
It was presumed this had been done
before but it is now known the with
drawal was not made. A new oompli-
cation arose to-day in regard to the
Balmacedist refugees permitted to
90 aboard the Yorktown. At the last
moment the Chilian government refused to
guarantee the safety of the refugees while
going from the Yorktown to the departing
steamer, or even agree that steamers upon
which they took passage would not be
searched. Egan had been tacitly assured
those to whom he had given asylum would
be permitted leave. Acting on these assur-
,ancea they purchased tickets and prepared
to sail to-day. Therefusal of the authorities
to guarantee the safety Of their late foes
made it untafe for them to sail. In order
to make certain that their flight would not
be prevented they offered to take any
steamer sailing either north or south
from Valparaiso, but the offer was
not accepted. Without a guarantee
OF safety they are liable to arrest or assault
manned aboard the Yorktown. Capt. Evans
has oabled Washington for instructions.
1t is believed that he will receive instruc-
tions that tho refugees be taken to NAL
lendo. Peru, aboard the Yorktown. There
is no doubt that the request to guarantee
the safety of the refugees WAS refused to
avert trouble in the cabinet.

Trouble vt Coal Crock.

Knoxville, Tenn, Jan. 16.-Alarming re-
ports were received from Coal creek late
tonight. A man in on a late train says
miners to the number of 1000 are assem-
bling on the mountain overlooking the
soldiers camp, with the view of
making an attack. At 11:30 the
operator in the camp telegraghed: Many
miners massing on the mountains and
some firing by pickets. The camp is in
much confusion, expecting an attack, but
the men are prepared TO hold the fort.'' At
midnioht nothing further had been heard
from the operator. To-day WAS pay day at
Goal creek and some persons were predict
ing trouble. At midnight tho wires were
still up. and the fact that they had not
been cut is construed to mean that the
movement of the miners is simply demon
stration to worry the troops.

Two Thousand Miners Thrown Out Of
Employment in the Co,ur d'Alencs.
A dispatch received from Wardner. Idaho,
yesterday, announces that the Bunker Hill,
Stemwinder and Last Chance mining COM
panies hnve closed down, throwing 1000
men out Of employment. This Is the frst
reply of the Mine Owners association to
the refusal OF the railroad companies to re-
duce the freight rates on ore. For about
year the rate on ore to Denver has been SIG
a ton and to Omaha S1S. Previous to that,
the rates had been STA and SIG ton re-
spectively, and it is this latter rate TINT tho
mine owners asked for this year and were
refused. The fight will probably be q long
and bitter one, aud during its continuance
the greatest sufferers will be the employees.
these men, and the result will be almost
complete paralysis of business in the Idaho
panhandle.
