SERIOUS TROUBLE IN CHILE.
Troops Held in Readiness to Move at a no.
ments Notice.


New York, Sept. SO.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Valparaiso, Chile,
says:
Despite denials the rumor Is persist
entity circulated in Valparaiso on the
authority of those who are presumably
In position to know that Chile is on the
eve Of serious international troubles
with Argentine and Peru.
1t is stated here that Argentina, Peru
and Bolivia have been secretly negoti-
atlng treaty which 1t is believed is
hostile to Chile. 1t is also asserted
that Chilean diplomats, hearing of the
negotiations against Chile, made GER
tain representations TO Bolivia which
resulted in that country withdrawing
from the proposed agreement. The
Chilean navy has been placed under
secret orders and is ready to sail at "a
moments notice. Chile is also holding
her troops in readiness.
The newspapers here on apparently
good authority formally declares the
rumor OF an impending conflict COM
pletely Eroundless. But the news comes
from Santiago stating that La Leis.
the leading organ Of the Chilean radi.
cal press, which has thus far always
been well informed announces that the
rumor has a color Of truth. In its next
edition La Leis will publish details of
the negotiations between Argentina
and Peru looking 10 union against
Chile.

NEWS FROM THE NORTH.
Report of Three Tons of Gold on the
Portland untrue--schooner Adrift.

Port Townsend, Wash. Sept a.
Tug Holyoke arrived tonight from st.
Michaels. having left there on Sept.
II, with the schooner w. j, Bryant in
tow. on the 2lst of the month, while
of Kodiak Island, n heavy storm pre-
vailed and the tug was forced to heave
to for period of twenty-eight hours.
During the storm the hawser which
connected the schooner to the tug
parted and the schooner went drift,
nor could those on the tug afterwards
see her. while II is not yet thought the
Bryant has been lost grave fears for
her safety are entertained. She carried
a crew OF seven men and two passen-
gers. the latter two being Engineer
Turner and wife of the steamer Eliza
Anderson. The reason given for the
probable safety OF the Bryant is that
she was known as one of the best sea
boats OF her tonnage in the North
Pacific waters. She Is of 90 tons meas
urement and for many years was used
as n pilot boat OFF Cape Flattery and
the Columbia river bar.
Capt. Ginger of the Holyoke says
the Bryant may be expected to sail
up the straits mt any time.
Capt, Tom roWerS of the Eliza An
derson, returned from Dutch Harbor on
the Holyoke. He Indignantly denies
the report that the Eliza Anderson
will leave her bones where she now
the Sound and Alaska run next season
and that scarcity of fuel is all that
prevented him from bringing her back
TO the Sound now, He says the Ander-
son never leaked enough water to
drown rat and that all the passen-
gers who went north on her will verify
his story.
The Holyoke people say that the re-
port that there are three tons OF gold
at st. Michaels awaiting shipment TO
the Sound on the steamer Portland
is untrue, that unless the gold arrived
from Dawson after the tug sailed very
little will he brought down before the
river opens and the boats get down
next June. Travel from st. Michaels up
the Yukon was still going on when the
Holyokc left, but the river was not
expected TO remain open longer than
between the first and tenth of October.
People Mt st. Michaels are well pro-
vided with the necessaries Of life for
winter and many of them are engaged

ated on the river next eeason,

Irregular Mail.

one Of the rarest occurrences of which
the state department has opportunity
to take oognizance IN common with the
rest OF the world is the dispatch OF a
mail TO Pitcairn Island. the isolated
community In the South Pacific which
depends upon the casual visit Of some
sailing vessel for its exceedingly infre-
queut communication with the rest of
the globe. says the Chicago Inter-
Ocean. Sometimes this happens once
a year. but there is no regularity about
it
The last news OF the island came six
months ago, when an official Of New
South Wales formally annexed the di-
minutlve territory to the British
crown. Recently the state department
has been informed that amy letters ad-
dressed 10 the Island win be- forwarded
II they reach her British majesty's con-
sui at Honolulu not later than Septem-

natl may not leave for Pitcairn Island
IN o year, and there Is possibility
mat there Will not be a mail for two
