Special to THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON. April 25.-The following
appointments were announced to-day at the
White House:
j.. F. Mckinney Of New Hampshire to be
Minister to Colombia.
Thomas l.. Thompson of California to be
Minister to Brazil.
George William Caruth Of Arkansas 10 be
Minister to Portugal.
Owen T. Rouse of Arizona, Justice of the
Supreme Court of Arizona.
John U. Judd of Utah. United States At
torney of Utah.
George NJ. Humphrey of Nevada. United
States Marshal of Nevada.
Thomas L. Thompson's appointment as
Minister to Brazil is due to the influence of
the California delegation, and more especially
that of Senator White. Mcguire and Cam
inetti. As stated heretofore in these dis
patches, President Cleveland told them he
would recognize California by giving
Thompson some good foreign mission.
Though Thompson is from Santa Rosa, it is
not believed Geary's influence with the
President went great way, for it was plain
that when that California Representative
left here he was very much dissatisfied
with Cleveland. The only California ap-
pontments so far-Wise and Thompson
were anticipated. and the expectation was
based upon hints dropped by Cleveland HIM
self. To judge from what he said about
McCOppin the latter may also get some
good appointment. though this cannot be
predicted with as much certainty as in the
cases Of Wise and Thompson.
Mr.. Thompson will leave for California
on Thursday. He will find ii necessary to
cross the continent again. and take passage
al New York for Rio de Janero, as there
are no steamers south Of Aspinwall that
would carry him to his destination as easily
as via New York
President Cleveland will be absent from
Washington SIX days in connection with the
ceremonies attending the naval review at
New \ ork and the opening Of the Column
bian Exposition at Chicago. He will leave
for New York tomorrow afternoon, aud
will make the trip to Chicago before return
ing to Washington. He will reach Chicago
Friday noon. and will leave Monday noon,
reaching Washington again ON Tuesday
evening.
The Chilean incident is closed and Min
lister Egan is coming home. The State De-
partment has rebuked him for his action
in sheltering the refugees, Fuentes and
Holly, and the Chileans are incensed at
him because of his alleged cOnnivance at
their escape when instructed to harbor them
in the legation no longer. He gave them
an asylum as political refuge eS, but was in
formed by the State Department that they
were not entitled TO protection on that &C
count. When lie turned them out in ODE
dlence 80 these instructions, Holly escaped,
but Fuentes was captured by the guard
that surrounded the legation.
Judge Porter, who succeeds Mr.. Egan as
Minister 10 Chile, will start for Santiago on
May 20, but Mr.. Egan. IL is said, will not
await his arrival, but Will start for home in
few days, leaving Consul McCreary in
charge of the legation.

Island as 2 corral for San Francisco Chi
nese on the 9th Of next month. Although
the Geary law goes into effect on May 5. aud
although not one-tweutiet!i Of the Chinese

In the navy the appointment of q success
sor to Surgeon General J. Mills Browne is
the subject Of much discussion. and there is
an idea that Rear-Admiral Walkers power
full influence, which Is being used in favor
Of Medical Director TryoB. viii result in
that gentleman's elevation TO the honorable
and distinguished position, There are
other anatomists, however, who believe that
Dr. Dean and DR.. Gorgas have equal
chances with Dr.. Tryon in securing pro-

well known in California. He was at one
time stationed at Mare Island
