CHILI'S CURRENCY.
Gold Standard Law Has Been Put
in Force.

in Force.
Washington. June 3.-Senor Don Cana,
the new Gillian minister, has received the
following cablegram:
Santiago, June 3.
ITO Gillian Minister, Washington:
1t Is very gratifying to me TO inform
you that after seventeen years of the re-
gime of paper money, Chilli has returned
with satisfaction and confidence to the
gold standard. The law is in force.
(Signed) HERNANDEZ.
Minister Finance"
The resumption of specie payments by
Chilli, which occurred on last Saturday,
promises to furnish some interesting les
sons on coinage legislation. Reports from
there state that the government tried to
familiariZe the people with the new forms
of silver and gold coin by getting out
preliminary issue These were quickly
exchanged for the old paper money, but
as soon as the novelty had worn off, the
people We're glad to go back TO the more
convenient form of paper currency. An
other embarrassment occurred when the
government found that the coin was be-
ing exported in great quantities. The spe-
Gle payment law fixed the ratio between
current ratio of the world. that in the
London market at the present time being
81 to /. AS a result of this difference gold
bullion began to flow out of Chilli The
silver coins were also exported because
the law provided that they should con-
tain 444 grains of pure silver. Thus both
gold and silver We're being drained out of
minis TO stop further coinage. Under the
new law the minis stopped last Saturday.
and there is much interest as to what
will be the result of this last stop.

He Was Never Killed on the Field
of Battle.
Jacksonville. Fla, June 3.-Gonzales
de Quesada, secretary Of The Cuban
Revolutionists, arrived here today. He
received a telegram from Benjamin
Guerra, treasurer of the reVolutionists
at New York as follows: 'Panchito
Gomez cables that Marti lives. All
passengers from Santiago, including
Portuondo's wife. believe him alive. L
believe it so and have telegraphed to
all. Cheer up
Panchito Gomez is a son Of General
Gomez, leader of the insurrectiOnists
in Cuba, and is in Santiago.
PortuOndo, who is mentioned is
Marti's private secretary.
Quesada does not believe Marti is
dead.
IF he is dead" he says. then he
has been assassinated. as he would not
have been on the field of battle. He
is the civil leader and there are
enough generals to lead the fighting
without his doing so. However. even
if he were dead, it would make no
difference to the cause. 1t would 60
on just the same because it is a fight
not of men, but of principles.

New York, June ga cool -easterly
breeze sprung up shortly after o'clock
this afternoon and, it is hoped, put an
end to the hot weather record-breaking
days, for a season at least. For five
days the thermometer has remained

have Alng and surgeons have been
kept KS attending persons who have
been oSerh Gated.
Not only have the records been
broken for the Both and 31st of May
and the first three days of June, hut
this is a grand total of five record
breaking days in succession. Never
before in the history of the local
weather department has anything of
this nature occurred before. It is safe
TO say at least twenty-five people have
died during the past five days as a
result Of the heat, and that over a
hundred have been FRUSTRATED and
taken TO the different hospitals of the
city.
The nearest to today's heat was June
., 1884. when the Thermometer regis
tered Sc. The death list for today is
one Of the largest on record. Thus far
ten people have been carried off the
streets, dead, and eleven more in a
precarious condition.
ThR following is a list of the deaths
TINS far reported for the day:

ment, through Senior Mendonca, its min

the diplomats who went to Chicago with
the remains, takes occasion to add per-
sonal tribute to the character Of the man

ing the troublesome days of the Brazilian
rebellion. Senior Mendonca speaks of the
love of justice, the democracy and hon

backed by strong courage and intellect
which has earned for him the respect and
admiration of all the Latin American
nations.

All Efforts UnavaiIing.

Kane, Pa, June 3.-Never before has
this place been threatened with so
much destruction as today. The for
ests have been on fire since Sunday,
and all efforts to check the flames
have proved unavailing. This after
noon at o'clock the fire had spread
at West Kane, the heat being so in
tense that the fighters were driven
back and the people began to leave
their houses for places of safety.
Everett Springs is dried up and the
place is at the mercy of the flames.
The flames are now in the oil field
and have burned the oil we'll rigs own
ed by the Griffith company. The
Union Oil company has lost six rigs
and three tanks of oil. James Camp

Denver, June 3.-Jerome Park, a
suburb of Denver, is in danger of a
flood more disastrous to property and
life than the one that took place a
year ago. The river Platte is steadily
rising and at noon began to overflow
its banks just above Rio Grande
avenue. Railway men are watchful,
fearing a repetition of the destructive
washouts occurring one year ago
about this time. Work trains were all
in readiness to go out at a moments
notice, and in some instances they
were in demand. The. Rio Grande was
the only road having a train in on
time today.
On the bulletin board at the Union
depot, the Rock Island train was
marked annulled and the Burlington
trains indefinitely postponed. The
Julesburg train was recorded six and
one-half hours late, and the Denver
Pacific was only few moments late
though a washout of fifty feet of track
had been repaired during the night
near Pierce. High water had washed
out all the filing from under the track
The rainfall prevailed everywhere, and
one of the Gulf officials remarked that
the rain ceased just at the right time
for the country was being flooded and
had it continued much longer damage
would have followed to the railways.

WHOLE FAMILY CRAZY.
Afflicted With SpfrituaIism in a
Most Violent Form.

Cleveland, June Am entire family of
seven were taken into custody today,
charged with insanity. The family con-
sists of Henry Buehwold. the father:
Charlotte Ruchwcld his wife, and two
grown daughters, Eva and Emma and
three small children. All of the family
are strong believers in the spiritualistic
faith, and have been locked in their home
at No. 3 Beaver street for over q week
holding wildly insane spiritualistic
seances. One of the daughters is labor
ing under the Authorization that she is a
spirit and another member of the family
that the spirit must die. The spirit was
perfectly willing to be sacrificed but the
arrival of the sheriff's officers prevented
them from carrying out their insane idea.

GAMBLED TOO HEAVILY.
That is Why Bank President
Made n Seive of His Throat.

Des Moines, Ia, June Be. II. Cassit,
ex-state senator ard president of the
First National bank at Pella, made a
sensational attempt to commit suicide
The bank was closed today by order of
Comptroller Eckles. 1t is in bad shape
and much Indignation exists over the
matter. Cassit has been largely trusted.
For some time he has been specializing en-
the Chicago board of trade, and had suf-
fered heavily of late one deal last week
costing him about $4,000 For some time
past he has also been drinking heavily
About 1890 Sunday morning the assist
ant cashier found Cassit in a room at the
rear of the bank lying on a cot with the
blood oozing from three ugly gashes in
his throat. He was alive, but weak and
unconscious and probably still under the
influence of liquor. 1t appears Cassit
poured poison into the wounds to aid
death, but the whisky counteracted this.
His family is prominent His friends
claim depositors in the bank will be paid
in full.

THAT DELAYED LETTER.
Investigating the 9Iissive That Went
To Japan.

Washington, June Sat the request of
United States Minister Willis, the
Hawaiian government has been inveSti-
eating the cause of the delay of the letter
asking for the recall of Minister Thurs
ten. Reports made to Minister Damon
show the errors by which the letters went
to Japan, occurred before it passed into
the hands of the Hawaiian postal au-
thorities, so they are not chargable with
the delay. Recent reports from Hawaii
received here show much activity in pre-
pairing for an expected filibustering eXpe-
dition. The government has sent the
revenue cutter Lehue. with a krupp gun
aboard 10 look after filibusterers.
