CHILEAN FINANCES.

New York, Oct. PA special to the
Herald from Valparaiso, Chile. says
a cabinet meeting has just been held.
at which the financial question was
discussed. 1t was proposed by a
member of the finance committee re-
Gently appointed to issue paper cur
rency. Another member proposed
that the conversion fund be thrown
into circulation and that customs tar
ifs be raised The proposals were all
rejected. Only three members of the
finance committee favor a return to
a paper currency.
The finance minister confirms the
statement that the deficit for the cur
rent year in the public revenue would
be 100000 pezetas. In official cir
cles it is limited that the number of
those who favor a repeal of the con-
version law is larger than the gov
ernment cares to admit.

ALASKA NEWS.
HARD TUNES FOR THE ARCTIC
WHALING PARTY.
DesertiOns CommOn-0ficers Quarrel The
Jennie Punched in the Ice-The
Catch Of the Fleet to Date.

San Francisco, Cal, Oct. 12.-The
steamer Jennie has arrived from Alas
ka with a budget of news. The Jen-
ME had a hard time coming down.
She was pinched in the ice and it was
a case of all hands at the pumps all
the way down, to keep her afloat. She
brought $4,000 pounds of whalebone
and 245 barrels of oil. The whaling
fleet that wintered at Hirschers Is
land had a lively time. In the spring,
Second Officer Frank Jones and Third
Officer III. c. Bowen, of the Balanena,
Quarrelled and Jones was killed. The
ships were greatly troubled by deser-
tons. At one time "a men fed. All
except eight were captured. These
men started for the Yukon, $50 miles
overland. They got about $50 miles
into the interior when they robbed
few Indians. A pursuing party from
the fleet caught them finally and
brought them in. Later, others de-
serted. They attempted to beat off
a pursuing party and a deserter man,
ed Thomas was killed. He is sup
posed to be the son a wealthy manu-
facturer of London. Another man
named Fitzpatrick was wounded in
the fight Both of these men were
from the jeanette. All the other de-
serters were caught except five, who
are believd to have persisted in the
snow Sixteen whalers wintered at
Hirschers Island last year, but all eX-
cept six are coming down this win
ter. The Balanena and Grampus
wintered at Franklin bay, the most
eastern point in the Arctic ever reach
ed in winter. The catch of the feet
up to the time the Jennie left was as
follows:
Balanena 10: Grampus 10; Mary
Hume 3: Newport s; Jessie III. Free

CLEMENS FOOL PROTEST.

Topeka, Kas., Oct. 12.-G. C. Glenn
ems has filed with the secretary of
state a protest against the middle-of-
the-road Populist electoral ticket. He
alleged that with the exception of
fewer than 200 of the names signed
to the nominating papers, it is APP
parent upon the very face of the petit
ton. from mere inspection, that all
the names on said petitions were writ
ten by not more than seven different
persons, while on some of the petit
tiOns every name was written by one
person"
The complaint then goes on to allege
that the petitions were not gotten up
in good faith, but were largely sign
ed by persons who intend TO vote
the Republican ticket. 1t is also
charged that the persons who engin-
eered the petitions were in collusion
with the Republican state central
committee. The middle-Of-the-road
committee deny each and every one Of
Clemens allegations, and declare that
it's petitions are genuine and prepared
in good faith

CUBAN ARMY OF AMAZONS.

Town Raided And Spanish Soldiers
Slain-Leaders Romantic Career.
st. Louis, Oct PA Globe-Demo-
crat special from Havana, via Key
West, Fla, says:
"The brave daughters of Cuba are
playing an important part in the fight
for the islands liberation from the
Spanish yoke. Three months ago,
when Antonio Maceo made his first
attack on the trocha, he was aided
by a battalion of Amazons, who, in
fluenced by the memory of wrongs en-
dured, charged the Spaniards with re-
sistless fury, neither asking nor Civ
ing quarter. Two months ago beau
tiful Inez Agramonte was shot dead
as she rode by the side of her hus-
band, who was leading his troopers
in a charge against the Spaniards, and
now advices from Remedies received
tell of the gallant deeds of band Of
Amazons headed by Senorita Martina
Hernandez Perez.
The Amazons, who are mounted.
have been in the vicinity of Veultas
| for some time. Last Saturday Mar
tino was informed that careless
watch was being kept by the Spanish
garrison, and she agreed to NSajd the
place. About o'clock in the affeE;
| noon SenOrita Perez and her band
dashed upon the town. The Amazons
found at the gate twelve Spanish sol
diers acting as pickets, and these were
put to the machete before they knew
the enemy was upon them. The Am
azons then rode through the streets
of the place, cutting down nine other
Spanish soldiers who were lounginS
in front of q cafe. In the plaza the
Amazons discovered nearly 200 Span
iards, who were charged. The Span
iards fired a volley, which killed three
Amazons, then fled to the barracks.
The Amazons pursued the fleeing sol
diers, slaShing them with the machete
and killing eight before they found re-
fge in the barracks. The Aamazons
then looted several stores, and rode
away, singing the Cuban battle hymn.
Senorita MARITIME Hernandez Perez,
leader of Amazons, has a romantic
career. A year ago she was the fan
Gee of a captain in the insurgent ar
my. Her lover was captured by the
Spaniards and cruelty put TO death.
The murder of her lover seemed TO
drive all tenderness from the girls ma
ture, and a few months ago she or
ganized a band of women, each or
whom had suffered some wrong at
the hands of the Spaniards. Senorita
MARITIME swore each member Of the
band never to spare Spaniard. Since
the Amazons were organized they have
been operating in the Remedies dis
trict and have inflicted great loss on
Spanish residents, but the raid on We
ultas was the first attack on the Span
iSh soldiers

AFTERWARD AT GUAYAQUIL

New York, Oct. 12.-According to
the Herald's correspondent in Guaya-
uuil. Ecuador, fresh attempts of an
incendiary nature have been made.
Several alarming fires have occurred
in parts of the city not touched by
the great confiagration, but the vigil
lance of the fire department has pre-
vented them from spreading. Sever
al more arrests have been made in
connection with the fires.
A large meeting has just been held,
at which a commission was appointed
to procure relief funds and provide
tents and other temporary shelter for
homeless citizens. Churches anu
schools which were left standing are
filed and rough wooden sheds are be-
ing occupied as fast as possible in
different quarters of the city.
More than one hundred charred bod
les have already been found in the
ruins. and others are discovered
wherever the debris left by the fire is
disturbed. 1t is now learned also that
many were driven by the flames TO
the water and were drowned.

ELECTION FARCE.
The Populists Claim Gross Frauds In
Georgia.

The Populists Claim Gross Frauds In
Georgia.
st. Louis, Oct. 21.-A special from
Atlanta, Ga. to the GlObe-Democrat
says: Chairman Cunningham, of the
POpulist state committee, has issued
manifesto concerning the state cleo
ton, in which he criticises the acts
of the Democrats. and makes general
charges Of fraud. He claims that
the sO-calIed white mans party, which
has for thirty years been crying negro
domination in order to prevent divis-
ions in its ranks, has secured its pres
ent majority from the negroes. He
refers to circulars sent out from Dem
ocratic headquarters appealing to the
negroes, declares that the anit-bar-
room plank in the POpulist platform
turned the negro vote to the Demo-
cracy, and says that all the liquor ell
ementS were opposed to the Populist
ticket. The new registration law he
calls a partisan law, and its en-
forcement a Trace. He declares that
the PopuliSts were not allowed to in
spect the books, as the law provides,
and says that some of the best men
in Georgia were disfranchised by the
acts of partisan registrars in de-
claring that they had failed during the
past nineteen years to pay tax on
some item of their property. Doe
tOred registration lists, he declares,
were sent to the POpulist precincts.
Specific cases of fraud are coming
in by every mail, he claims. He
charges that the precincts have been
unIawfully thrown out in order to
cook up Democratic majoritics. He
claims that Wright carried a large
majority of the white vote of the
state, and believes but for the regis
tratiOn law, which he declares dis
franchised thousands of POpulists,
Wright would have been elected. He
says that as the negro vote and white
Republican vote of the mountain coun-
ties undoubtedly gave Atkinson his
majority, and as the same vote is
certain to go to Mckinley in NOvem-
Der, the effect, if any, will be against
Bryan. He declares that the county
offices all over the state have been
won by the POpulists, and that the
party is in better shape than it has
ever been before.
In a few sections of the state the
Populist vote was increased. In
nearly every case it was due to the
personal popularity of some Populist
nominee. In Florida, Wrights home
county, the Populist candidate for
governor received a majority Of 26S
votes.

TOUGH MARY MOORE.

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 12.-At Column
bia, Tenn, Mary Moore, white wom-
an worth $4,000 and the owner of
COO acres of fine land, was convicted
for stealing six turkeys from a
neighbor and sentenced to one year
in the penitentiary. An appeal was
taken TO the Supreme court. This
is the finale of a most remarkable
career, unrivalled in the hisOtry of
the criminal courts of the state.
Ten years ago, the woman and her
husband, calling themselves Stone,
came from Kentucky, bought land in
a good neighbOrhOod and lived a Sc
cretive life. Immediately thefts be-
came numerous, incendiary fires fol-
lowed, rumors spread abroad, the hus-
band died, vigilance committees were
formed, criminal suits instituted, but
came to nothing. At last the neigh
bOrs raided the farmhouse and found
a young woman, daughter-in-law of
Mrs. Moore, imprisoned in a room and
subjected to the foulest treatment.
Indignation became intense and as
the stealing of turkeys was a sure
case, it was resolved to get the Moore
woman into the penitentiary and
break up her nefariOus operations.

ENGLAND CHECKED.
Russia Is The Conservator OF Euro
pean Peace.

Russia Is The Conservator OF Euro
pean Peace.
New York, Oct PA special to
the Herald from London says: Pub
lie interest is still intent on the new
situation created by Lord Roseber-
rvs resignation, and by his fOrcible
speech which makes him the hero of
the hour. Seldom in English politics has
a single speech produced such a de-
cided, instantaneous effect. The ma
ton is in a much better frame of
mind for taking an impartial view OF
the eastern situation than it was three
days ago.
A letter published in the European
edition of the Herald, and addressed
to it by an English member of parlia-
ment, describes how the Armenian ag-
itatiOn meetings have been worked up.
First and foremost are their radical
agent and the dissenting minister,
both of whom are under cloud which
they hope will yet have silver lin
ing. The country is prosperous, Ire
land is quiet. The recent visit of the
emperor of Russia to France indicates
that all Europe is in common accord
to preserve peace and to not let it be
disturbed by England or any one
power. The people of England are
at least beginning to appreciate the
fact that the emperor of Russia, who
is now the arbiter of peace, will not
permit it to be disturbed by the isola-
ted aggression of any one power act
ing without the assent of united Eu-
rope and in the way the noisy and up
roarious band of GladstOnian senti-
mentalists strove so perSiStently TO
bring about.

FOOTBALL.

All the football teams of the
city will play the Rugby game,
as the association game is too
tame.
1t is hoped that the Bexar Ath-
letic club and the Turner's will
each put a team in the field. In
that event a football league can
be organized.
Prof. Claire E. Haskell, physi-
cal director of the Y. NJ. c. A.,
severely wrenched his left knee
last Saturday while coaching the
Y. NJ. c. A. football team, and
will probably be disabled for the
winter. He manages to limp a.
round, however, and is under
treatment of a doctor.
A field captain will be appoint
ed for the Y. NJ. c. A. team until
Prof. Haskell is able to resume
his position on the team.
