Chilean OfficiaIs Say the Sale of War Ships
to Spain Has Never Been Even limited At.
New York, March 3.-The report
that Spain is negotiating to buy from
Chilli three warships now in course OF
construction in England is character
lied as absurd by the government Off
Gals here, says the Valparaiso COR
respondent of the Herald. They laugh
at the story and declare that the Chill
ian government has never received
sven the most remote hint from Spain
as to the purchase of warships. 1t is
further stated that Chill has no inten-
ton of parting with any vessel of her
navy.
Chilli has only two ships in Europe
the armored cruiser O'Higgins, which
is nearly finished and is expected here
in April, and the schoolship, General
Baguedona, which will be finished
about the end of the year. The Chill
ian transport, Augames, left for Eng
land several days ago with officers and
crew for the O'Higgins.

THREATENS NEW YORK.


Spain Would Make a Try Against the
Metropolis in Case OF War.
Madrid, March 3.--The public is
much exercised over the report of the
presence of a squadron of United
States warships at Hong Kong. as it
is presumed the vessels intend to
threaten Manila, the capital of the
Philippine Islands, in the event of war
between the United States and Spain.
The impartial in an article headed
"To Manila; To New York quoted
an unnamed high parsonage, who
scouts the idea of an imminent rup-
ture, and says:
THE presence of the warships at
Hong Kong is only Washington's pol
icy with the view of contenting the
iingoes."
The high parsonage" is said to have
added:
But America has not so many war
ships as to warrant such bold action.
If the Yankees go to the Philippines,
the Spaniards will go to New York"
The Globo remarks: The govern
ment is alive to the critical situation
and is silently preparing for the worst
But it is too diplomatic to disclose
the procedure by which it is preparing
for emergencies. In conclusion the
Globo says: Fortunately the tranquil
preparations of the government are
the best assurances that it will be
ready when the occasion requires it.
The public, seeing the GOODNESS of Sc
nor Sagasta, should comprehend that
he means acts and not words. How
ever limited the public's confidence in
the premier, they, like ourselves, have
confidence that better days will dawn
promptly"

A CONFERENCE
Between Chairman Boutelle and Secretary
Long Naval Needs Made Known

Between Chairman Boutelle and Secretary
Long Naval Needs Made Known.
Washington, March 3.-Secretary
Long spent a good part Of the morning
in close communication with Chair
man Boutelle, of the House naval com
mittee. He denied himself to all other
callers, and from time to time sent
for the various bureau chiefs of the
department, a pretty clear indication
that Mr.. Boutelle was being supplied
such information as the department
could furnish as to the immediate
needs of the naval service.
The orders under which the court of
inquiry at Key West is operating car
ries sufficient authority for change Of
base at any moment though the de-
partment may be informed as a matter
of courtesy If the progress of the in
quiry at Havana depends upon the
work Of the wreckers as seems to be
the case, for nothing of substantial
Importance can be achieved until the
heavy debris is removed from the
wreck, considerable delay must inev-
itably occur.
Some private letters are coming to
Washington from officers in Havana,
but while they all have something to
say touching the Maine explosion, it
cannot be seen that the statements are
based upon any recent and generally
unknown developments.

GREAT ACTIVITY.
Apparent in the New York Arsenal
and in the Forts About New York
Harb0r.

New York, March 3-There is a.
continuance of the activity at the New
York arsenal. The shipping of shells
and other projectiles to the forritica-
tions about the harbor is undated.
1t is expected that a battery of twenty
12-inch mortars will coon be received
at Sandy Hook for testing before they
are forwarded to the points for which
they are destined. There is number
of unmounted guns at the proving
grounds awaiting the construction Of
carriages.
The supply Of ammunition has been
increased in all the magazines and SO
arranged that it can be Immediately
available. The men seer. much more
pleased at the work they have to do
than when the guns lay idle and in
condition unfit for active use.
At Sandy Hook, however, there is
slight complaint among the men who
say that too much work is expected
of too small force.
A large consignment of ammunition,
including powder and projectiles, is
ready for shipment at the ordnance
department in the Brooklyn yard.
Commander Swift, who has charge of
the department, superintendent the
work of packing Commander Swift
received instructions from Washing
ton to forward the supplies as soon
as possible to Key West, Fla, whence
they will be distributed among the
United States war vessels now in that
neighborhood. Many Of the projectiles
were for guns of large calibre. AS yet
no information has been received as
to what disposition is TO be made Of
the guns which have been recently
shipped to the yard from Washing
ton These guns are of different sizes,
and as neither the Chicago nor the
Atlanta, which are being overhauled
at the yard would be ready to receive
its guns for at least six months. it is
.umored that they are intended for
he auxiliary vessels.

ANOTHER VICTIM.
An Artists Head Turned by the
Dreyfus Affair Jumped from a
High Window.

New York, March 3-The Drcyfus
case had fresh victim, an artist
whose head had been literally turned
by the excitement and who jumped
out of high window under the delu..
sion that he was Major Esterhazy and
that the police were coming to arrest
him, says the Paris correspondent of
the Herald.
Ever since the beginning of the Zola
trial this hapless individual made him
self conspicuous by the extreme vio-
lence with which he discussed the
proceedings at the assizes. He never
tired of defending Major Esterhazy
Upon one occasion he narrowly escap-
ed being arrested for creating a dis
turbance in the street. AS Zola's trial
neared its conclusion the artist grew
worse, and finally SO identified himself
with the troubles of Major Esterhazy
that he came to confuse his own ident-
ity with his heroes. He thought he
was Major Esterhazy, and everybody
around him was conspiring to bring
about his downfall.
"On every side of him." says the
Temps, "he saw ambushes and traps
every hour he took fresh precautions
to escape from his enemies Two days
ago his friends were astonished to see
he had shaved, not only his chin and
upper lip, but his head as we'll
IF Col. Picquart recognizes me- he
cried at the top of his voice, he will
be a clever fellow"
Early this morning the unfortunate
man arose from bed "They are com
ing; they are coming to make domi-
ciliary visit to kill me- he cried in a
piteous voice.
Going to the window he opened it
and threw himself out He was killed
on the spot. His body was found at 5
o'clock this morning in a pool Of
blood on the causeway by his servant,
who at once gave information to the
police
