UNITED STATES AND CHILL:
How United states officials Provoked
the Attack ON the Sailors OF the
Baltimore.

A despatch from Washington says it IS now
probable that the entire history of the late
civil war in Chill, so far as the diplomatic
and naval officials of the United States are
mixed up in it, will be thoroughly lnvestlga-
ted nv n congressional committee. 1t Will be
remembered that while the fighting was still
in progress grave accusations were mace
AGAINST Minister Egan, his son, Frank Egan,
ConsuI- Gen'l. McCreery and Admiral Brown,
who were accused of taking altogether too
much interest in the cause OF Balmaceda. IL
was openly asserted that the minister son
and the consul general were financially lhteI
ested in the success OF the DICTATOR anu A9-
miral Brown was accused of giving his SIDE
inflammation of movements of the congress
sionalist troops. 1t was this feeling against
what was considered the one sided attitude
of the representatives of the United states
that brought about the attack on the men from
the Baltimore aud came near plunslng thls
country into war with Chill.
Those charges are now reiterated III letters
received within the past week by representa-
lives breckenridge, of Kentucky, and Wilson,
of West Virginia, the former from DIR. John
Trumbull and the latter from Mr.. IL. l.. Irum-
bull, both CHILEAN descendants OF Connec,
ticut family Mr.. Trumbull accuses Consul
McCreery of having dealt in exchange and
having prOhted ny MS ouHCidl poottioH "
the knowledge he gained through 1t to the
extent of 100000 pounds sterling in year
A great mass Figures purporting to be taken
from the books of his broker are gwen IN
support of the charge.
In his letter to Mr.. Wilson, Ricardo Trum-
bull charges Admiral Browns secretary,
Lieutenant Dyer, with having given the Bal
maceda party information of the movement
of the congressional troops, and he claims to
have documentary proof of his assertion. He
accuses the Bureau of American Republics in
Washington of being in sympathy with Bal
maceda and giving out information to the
Associated Press calculated to help his cause.
1t is understood petition has been drawn by
American residents in Chill to be presented to
Congress, asking for an inquiry into the con
duct of the official representatives OF the
United States in that country.

Henry James, mulatto, was hanged to
u telegraph pole on the main street of Little
Rock, Arkansas, on Saturday, for having as

doors of the prison with sledge hammers.
He was taken before the child's father and
identified, and, after the rope had been plac-
ed around his neck, confessed his guilt. His
victim died of her injuries few hours after

William Gilmore, notorious outlaw of
Bladen county, North Carolina, was shot and
killed by Miss Brunt, daughter of Baptist
preacher, near Fayetteville. Gilmore entered
the minister's house few days ago, and at
the point of pistol ordered the girl to cook
bin dinner, which he ate. But as the out
Law vas leaving the house Miss Brunt shot
him in the back with a shotgun.

HAVOC OF A HURRICANE.
The Island of Mauritius Strewn
with Wreckage.

LONDON. MAY 19.-Advices received from
Mauritius state that hurricane unprecedented
in its violence passed over that island on
April both, causing enormous damage to
shipping. A majority of the vessels at the
island were blown ashore. The western half
of Port Louis, the capital, was devastated.
The loss of life was appalling. A large num-
Der of persons were caught in the falling
houses and crushed to death, while others
lost their lives by being struck by flying
debris. Never before in the history of the
island has such warning Of the elements
been known. Every effort is being made by
the authorities to alleviate the suffering, and
food is being issued to those who have lost
everything by the storm. Half Of the crops
of sugar. rice, coffee and pepper have been
utterly ruined, and the loss in this direction
is extremely heavy. =,
Mauritius, or Isle of France, is an island
belonging to England, in the Indian Ocean,
about 500 miles east of Madagascar, and 2, 700
miles from the Cape of Good Hope. Its
length from north to south is 80 miles, and
its greatest breadth 81 miles. In 1872 it had
a population of 32G, 454. Port Louis is the
capital and the port through which all the
foreign trade is carried on. The population
is mixture of Africans, various Asiatic peo-
ple and European races ofall sorts. Several
thousand Hindoos are there who work the
sugar plantations. It is picturesque island,
having lofty ranges of hills and thee chains OF
mountains which vary from 800 to $500
feet above the sea. The island is probably OF
volcanic origin. The climate is salubrious,
the mean temperature being about 74'. Be-
tween December and May hurricanes are
common. In March, 1918, and February,
1924, hurricanes did great damage to property
and many lives were lost. A cyclone in
March, 1868, destroyed 5000 fine buildings
and 10000 huts and killed about one hundred
people. The trade is in sugar, indigo, fruits
and woods of different kinds. The Dutch
first settled on it in 1914 and France got it in
I7l5. England secured the island in 1910.
