WANDANKOLK A PRISONER.
The General Captured and Being
Taken to Rio.

VALPARAISO. July 16.-Admiral Wan
dankolk is prisoner and now on the way
to Rio Janeiro under a heavy guard. The
cruiser Republica gave chase to the Jn-
piter outside the bar and came up with
her this morning.
Admiral Wandenkolk tried to disem bark,
but was prevented by heavy fog. Shots
were fred on The Jupiter. from which a
white flag was soon hoisted. The captain
Of the Republica demanded an uncondi-
tioual surrender of the Jupiter. officers
and crew. Admiral Wandenkolk was
forced to surrender. ana the officers and
crew of the ship, the revolutionary troops
on board and twenty-seven sailors OF the
gnnboat Camocln were all made prisoners.
The admiral was only recently formally
declared TO be a traitor, and now that he
has fallen into the clutches of the Govern
ment be will no doubt, be executed with
ont much ceremony. The news of the
capture of Admiral Wandenkolk reached
here this afternoon in a telegram from
Yaguarot.
1t was surprising because the news was
received last night by the Brazilian lega-
ton in MontevideO and from the Herald
correspondent in Artigas that the admi
with the steamer Jupiter. had eluded the
Brazilian warship Kepublica outside the
bar at the mouth of Lake Dos Patos, be-
low Rio Grande do Sui. 1t was believed
that he had cleverly avoided capture.

SAN DIEGO, July 16.-Mrs. Rebecca A.
Foss. the elderly and respectable widow of
ex-Supervisor R. D. Foss, was this morning
assaulted by young Mexican named Jose
Antonio Chavez, who broke into her room
soon after midnight at her home at San

csfy. Mrs Foss was alone In she house
and struggled fercely with her assailant
y o sslabhed her EeReAtedly " She sncr
ceeded IN wrensbipg aknifs from his hand
but he drew another and inflicted further

then assaulted her and M ade his escape.
In the morning Horace Brooks. the nired
man, who slept in the barn. hearing moan
at the house. started to investigate the
trouble. He found the woman lying In her

Chavez is the son of notorious outlaw
OF that name who in company with Vas
quez, the bandit, was an object of great
detestation years ago in California.

HENRY CLEWS' PLAN.
The Great Financier Makes Sug-
gesti0ns.
Issue Notes Against the National
Bank Surplus and Add Millions
to Circulation.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON. July 16.-Com ptroller
Erkeis has received the following letter
from Henry Clews, the well-known n
banker:
"Tne National bank act certainly should
be amended to provide for notes being is-
sued to their par value of United States
bonds: and another amendment would
also be wise, to provide for the issue of
notes against the surplus capital of the
National banks to the extent of IS Per
cent thereof. These two changes would
make an increase in the national currency
amounting to about $50. 900, COO. and would
provide the nation with enough new
money for its needs. and it would be the
best and most legitimate kind of money
besides.
"The New York banks now have a
surplus over their capital of $4,000. 600
the National banks of other cities and
elsewhere probably S1O0.0O0,0OO in addi-
ton. This backing in cash or it's equivalent
in notes issued against the same would
make them the strongest and most legiti-
mate character Of money iu circulation.
No stronger kind Of money could be de-
vised. The surplus against which the issue
of these bonds would be made would be
under National Bank Examiners. The
constant increase in the surplus of the
banks would also giys an ELASTIC character
to sueh money. which Is a very desirable
iealura"

the town of alta in the Crimea refused to
obey the decree TO retire within tn 9 pale.
For several days the clergy exhorted the

THE WAR is OVER.
The French and Siamese al
Peace.
f1utual Assurances Are Given and
Bangkok Is an Open Port
Again.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

NEW YORK. July 16.-A World special
from Bangkok says: This port is open to
trade once more. All is quiet and the war
cloud seems to have blown over. Admiral
Human. the commander Of the French
naval forces in the China Seas. who came
here yesterday to negotiate peaceful
solution of the questions which have been
agitating France and Siam. has given
the Siamese authorities assurance that 20
attack upon this city is contemplated.
Those assurances have been confirmed by
cable dispatches received from Paris. On
the other hand, the Siamese Government
has agreed to make no discrimination
against the ships of the French, promi sing
TO treat them like the ships of other great
powers

N. Fayie. French Minister resident II
Bangkok. mas been requested to protest
against the firing from the forts as an inde-
fensible act, constituting violation of in
ternational law, inasmuch as friendly re-
lations established between France and
Siam by the treaty Of 1856 had remained
unimpaired up to that time.
The secretary of tie Siamese Legation in
Paris denies in an interview that the
Siamese were aggressors in the affair.
The conflict was due. he says. to the fact
that the French commanders misunder-
stood the orders of their Government not
to cross the bar.
LONDON. July 16.-The Times CORE

Panama fleets. 1t is surprising how both
succeeded in avoiding hitting each other.
The half-holr's crosSfire must have been
of the widest character, for the only real
damage done was to one of the Siamese
ships, on which shell exploded. killing
ten and woundng dozen men. The fort
guns are in perfect order, q OF even the gun

Entire ignorance pr evails here as to the

trading community tends toward panic,

An Act to Reorganize the
Currency.
PAPER TO BE RETIRED.
A Plan for New Silver Coinage
Which Meets With Favor
by the Country.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON. July 16.-The Bureau of
Chilean Congress has passed the act for
reorganizing the currency. and that hav-
ing received the sanction Of the Council Of
State. the act has now become a law.
The act provides that the paper money
shall be redeemed from December 81.
1899. in the new money to be coined under
the act of November 26. 1892. at the equiv
alent value of silver dollar Of 25 grams
in weight and nine-tenths fine. The
paper money may. however, be redee med
from the first Of July. 1896, in the money
to be coined under the act of November
26, 1892 or in other words at the rate Of
"a pence per dollar. The holders OF paper
money, therefore. will have the option of
redeeming their notes at "a pence. or in
the silver dollar of % grams and nine
tenths fine The paper money will cease
to be legal tender after the 1st of July,
1896 To prepare for the new coinage
provided for by the act of November 26.
1892. the silver acquired by the State
under the act OF March ID. 1877. the gold
received in payments of duty and storage.
and up to one million and a half pounds
sterling of the proceeds of the trade of
Government nitrate properties are to be
maintained in deposit in the treasury.
From December 81. 1895. until July /. 1896.
the banks must maintain in gold specie or
bullion a reserve fund Of 20 per cent of
their authorized issue. The paper money
redeemed by the State Is to be burned.
Half of the 80 per cent of the duties pay
able In gold under the act of November 26.
1892. In the years 1894 and 1885, shall be
paid in the equivalent value of paper
money and the portion of import duties
and storage required to be paid in gold
may be paid in good bills on London up to
December 81, 1894.
Whatever diversity of opinion may exist
with respect to the new act. says the
Chilean Times, it must be admitted that it
is an improvement on the one that pre-
ceded it. In one respect, however. both
acts are alike. They aim in the first line at
the redemption OF the paper money aud
the resumption of specie payments. They
differ only in the means Of accomplishing
these ends.
The Chilean Times adds that the Gov
ernment and the country are too tar COM
mitted to this policy for il to be possible
fer them to turn back.

PROFUSE CONGRATULATIONS
Overworked Superintendent Happy
Los Angeles Day-Inquiry for
the Midwinter Fair.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

CHICAGO, July 16.-To-day is the last
Sunday that the Worlds Fair will be open.
and the California people are not sorry for
il. On account Of the crowds that lave
filled the building on Sundays. as well as
through the week. their labors have been
increasing and they have eujoyed no holi-
days. Congratulations were exchanged by
the overworked superintendents OF ex-
hibits.
Notwithstanding that it was advertised
far and wide that the proceeds Of to-day's
ticket sales at the Worlds Fair were to be
donated to the families of the firemeu who
lost their lives in the awful fire CT last
Monday. the attendance was unusually
small. The total admissions. according to
the estimate of the Bureau of Admissions.
will scarcely reach $4,000. and what was
announced as the last open Sunday OF the
fair. in the eyes OF some of the officials at
least was pronounced a failure. Less
than 1000 people gathered in Festival Hall
10 participate in memorial services. Rev.
DR.. Mercer preached the sermon.
Arrangements have been perfected for
the big excursion of Los Angeles people
next September. 1t has been gotten up

The vexatlous question of the janitorship
of the San Francisco exhibit and CYCLIC
rama has been settled at last without ap-
peal to the State. The Commissioner $
warrant will be drawn each month and the
money advanced by some of the Jealous
mem bars of the San Francisco Commission
to pay for taking proper care of the ex-
hiDit. The cyclorama'is in sore need Of re-
touching, which must certainly be done be-
fore it can be re-exhibited in San Fran
cisco.
Many hundred visitors each day enter
the Office of the Commission and ask
whether the Midwlnter Fair Is an assured
fact. and upon learning that it is express
their determination to visit it.

REMARKABLE DISPLAY
A Comets Tail Which Overspread
the SkV.


the Sky.
WASHINGTON. July 16.-At 10 80 O. CLOCK
last night the comet. which is now the
subject of so much search and speculate
suddenly developed an enormous tail,
which, to the Impractical eye. was taken
to be display of the aurora borealis.
At that hour Professor Brlsby of the
Naval Observatory was studying the comet
through nine-inch glass. He noticed a
long streak of grsenish-white light shoot
out from the comet and extend itself al.
most to the zenith. The tail of the comet
was 80 deg. In length. distance about
sixty times as long as the moon is wide, and
extended from 10 deg. above the horizon
almost to the zenith. 1t was plainly vlsi-
ble to the naked eye. and was watched for
some time by corps Of observators at the
institution.
GENEVA. N. Y, July 16.-Professor
Brooks to-day reported the observation of
the display Of the aurora there last night.
1t resembled in form and brightness a
great comet, for which it was mistaken by
many persons. The real comet, he said,
is considerably to the north of this and is
becoming fainter. 1t was just visible last
night In the aurOral glow.

NEW YORK. July .o.-The leather trade
seems to have been more seriously affected
by the general financial depression and
uncertainty than many other lines.
World reporters who interviewed rep
resentative men, including those who deal
in hides, sole leather and betting. as we'll
as boot and shoe wholesalers and jobbers,
found somewhat gloomy condition of
affairs. The interviews were obtained
Saturday, which was half holiday. and
most Of the gentlemen seen were prepar-

outing.
Even with this cheerful prospect before
them their talk about business was rather
blue. The russell shoe, which has attained
such wide popularity within the last few
years, has caused good deal OF trouble in
