PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 20.-Although
there does not seem any unusual noise
and hustle in the offices Of the war and
navy departments in this city, it is not

office was doing to prevent a foreign war
vessel coming up the Delaware river and
.bombarding the city. said: Il am not at
liberty to talk, but so far as plans for the
defense of the harbor is concerned, they
have been prepared for two years and all
the requirements for quick defense have
been considered A number of
torpe1oes have been received here
and distributed to certain points along
the Delaware river, the points being
known only to the war department. be-
sides this the government has W torpedo

lode away from home with no escort save
her groom, a negro boy. There was snow

and cloudy, but the little widow put spurs

scene today In the house OF deputies
caused by an attack by ex-Premier Crispl
on the present cabinet. Premier Rudini

statement and after much discussion the
matter was dropped.

SAN Francisco, Jan. 20.-Capt.
Schley of the cruiser Baltimore, after
reading todav's report of the procurator
fiscal of Valparaiso, said he was not sur
prised by it. The conclusions reached
were necessary to sustain the contention
of the Chileans. As to the rejection by the
procurator OF Langin's and Johnson's
testimony on the ground their stories did
not agree perfectly, the captain said the
fact that they appeared not to have known
each other before the riot was very
natural.
Langin was not a member of the Balti-
more's crew at that time. He was a
sailor on the American vessel wrecked in
Valparaiso harbor some DAYS before and
enlisted in the Baltimore a week alter the
riot. Capt. Schley went on to detail the
circumstances, ~reluting other assertions OF
the procurator, and spoke OF the remarka-
BILE Inconsistencies of its sentences. For
instance, Gomez, the one armed Chilean
sailor. who confessed 10 having stabbed
Turnbull, is recommended for three
years imprisonment. While the Balti-
more sailor Davidson, who knocked Co.
mez down with a stone In his endeavor to
prevent this, Is recommended for ten or
fifteen years. In conclusion. Capt. Schi-
lev said: THE procurators statement
that there is no evidence TO show that
Trumbull and Riegin died of their
wounds, Is remarkable. | ppo be

CIarence's Funeral.

LONDON, Jan. 20.-The queen accom-
panied by Princess Louise. today attended
the special memorial service in the chapel
at the Osborn house conducted by Canon
Duckworth. The queen walked feebly
and was assisted by Princess Louise. The
Prince of Wales aud family and the
Princess Mary of Teck are staying at
Windsor tonight but the funeral guests
have left the castle.
After the funeral the Prince of Wales
admitted he was intensely oppressed and
weary. He had a hard day. The guests
concur in saying he Appeared to be worn
and i'll and the overstrain is telling upon
him. He walked behind the coffin three
miles TO Wolferton in submission to the
prescribed usage. IN addition he had to
stand for a long time at Windsor station
while various distinguished persons con-
veyed to HIM their expressions of CON
dolence.
The prince had a kindly greeting for
each. He was extremely solicitous
throughout the day for the comfort of
every body around him. The spectators
of the funeral agree in saying its most
notable feature was its simplicity. Tho
absence Of spectacular display and the
plainness of the ceremonial features we're
hitherto unknown in connection with the
burials Of princes of so high a rank.
The car and czarina sent a splendid
floral offering of magnificent wreaths IF,
teen feet in diameter. 1t Is composed of
lilies, orchids and other choice flowers.
It is inscribed, TO our beloved Nephew"
Cushion of angar v%iolets. a piece fifty
inches long, set of with long t~assels an d
made OF rare white orchids, is the offering
received from the king and queen of Por-
tugal.
Similar tokens of sympathy came from
most of the European courts and embas-
sizes and the most aristocratic families of
England.
During the evening the coffin was re-
moved from st. Georges chapel to the
Albert Memorial chapel. Here it was
placed between a cenotaph to the late
Prince CoDsort and recumbent figure of
the Duke of Albany. 1t will remain in
its its present position until Saturday in
order that the queen may be enabled to
place a wreath upon it.

Cincinnati and milwaukee, Lead.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The most con-
6dent cities IN the race for the Demo
cratic national convention tonight are I'M
doubtedly Cincinnati and Milwaukee. The
delegation from Cincinnati is already
speaking confidently OF the ultimate sup
port of New York. while the Milwaukee
people are counting firmly on the votes of
Detroit they NAV get on the first ballot.
New York and Detroit, however, are not
at all disposed to concede the somewhat
presumptIve claims of their rivals as yet.
There is talk about the Cleveland and
Hill advocates favoring certain cities, but
those with authority earnestly deny the
statement and appear Indifferent as to the
place of holding the convention. Not
withstanding this, there is evident anxiety
to know where Hill, German and Brice
want the convention to go.
A meeting of the executive committee
of the National Association of Democratic
clubs was held here today. 1t was de-
cided to hold the meeting of the general
committee of the association at the place
where the National Democratic conven-
ton on the same date which will be de-
cided by the national executive committee

tary shows there are between 5000 and
5000 clubs on the rolls, every state and

Of the supreme court of the United States
were mildly astonished today when ex-
Senator Edmunds, acting as counsel, crit
icised the court aud stated it was his
opinion that it was entirely wrong in its
decision in the celebrated original package
case from Iowa. The principle laid down
in that case was one dangerous to the

urged the court to go back to the true

Soldiers and Rout Them.
They Clamor for Fonseca to

The Mob Quelled by Efforts of
all Official Forces.
Brazil Again Warning.

Rio JANEIRo, Jan. 20.-After a sea-
son of comparative tranquility, the city
has again become violently disturbed and
the citizens are thrown into a state of ex-
element. The trouble began yesterday
when l60 prisoners. confined for various
o~ffenses in Fort Santa Cruz mutinied and
succeeded in o~yerpowering the guards aud
soldiers stationed at that place. They
advanced upon Forts Rico and Tage.
overcame the soldiers on duty and took
possession of the two forts and all the
munitions of war they contained.
Flushed by their victories the prison
ers, after perfecting all arrangements for
guarding the forts, boldly demanded the
restoration to power of the deposed die
tator, Fonseca. The government officials
hurried all available forces to the scene of
uprising. Troops were placed to sur
round the forts on the land side, while
war ships were stationed to guard the
pharbor side.
Orders to advance were given this
morning. and the troops at once moved to
the attack while the guns of the war
vessels began 20 hurl shells. The efforts
of the soldiers we're directed against Fort
Rico. They made a combined grand
assault on the works and. after a show OF
resistance by the rebel troops, carried the
fort. In the meantime the gun boats
were bombarding Fort Santa Cruz. and so
effective was their work the rebels were
soon forced to surrender.
The troops eventually obtained posses
sion of all lorts. which we're seized and
the prisoners again placed in their cells.
The firing during the attack on the forts
was plainly heard throughout the city and
caused the greatest CONSERVATION Many
timid persons sought places of safety and
storekeepers closed their places of bust
ness and securely bolted and barred the
doors and windows.
