Fifty Killed in Riot.

A dispatch from Santiago, Chile says
tina. abou. 80 persons were killed and
500 wounded during the recent rioting
there. The troops are restoring order:
During the day more troops reached
Santiago and with their arrival relative
tranquility prevails and the city Is grad
ually assuming its normal condition.
A bitter feeling prevails against the
authorities. The outbreak Is not con,
sidered to be political, but is believed
to be the work of rowdies who were en-
couraged by the absence of the troops at
the maneuvers. The police force was
unable to cope with the rioters.
The officials of the street railroads
estimated the damages done to their
property at about $3.50, 900.

TERRORIST ACTIVITY.
Russian Police Fear Another Tragedy
Any Moment.

e
st. Petersburg, April 1.-THE au-
thorities continue to find evidence OF
terrorist activity in st. Petersburg
and in spite of the precautions of the
police another tragedy may occur at
any moment. The fighting organiza-
tion is known to have on its con
demned list thirty persons, headed by
Grand Duke Alexis and Governor Gen.
eral Trepoff, but the police. although
they arrested several persons with
bombs in their possession and have
taken many suspects into custody,
have been completely bafied in their
efforts to discover the invisible hand
which is directing the campaign OF
the terrorists. q ne police theory con
times to be that the central organl-
cations of those engaged in the con.
spifacies are at Geneva and in Paris
and that the men arrested in Russia
are agents selected to execute the
sentences. When arrested these agents
invariably are true to their oaths and
refuse to divulge anything, no matter
to what ordeal they are subjected.
The police have instructed all lodg.
inghouses to provide themselves with
duplicate KEYS of all rooms, drawers
and closets in order that the effects
Of suspects may be freely searched

WAR WILL Be C0ATlsuED
COMPLETE CHANGE In siTuA.
TIoN AS REaAaDs PEACE
FUL SETTLEMENT.

Paris, April. .sssslY hatever nope.
fulness the peace situation may have
had some days ago the situation has
now completely changed and there is
every prospect that the war will dra55
on again. Consequently dispatches aD-
Iearing in America saying that For
eign Minister Delcasse and DR.. Mo
tono, the japanese minister to France,
have been comforting at the formers 5
house relative to peace are resinaccurate.
The foregoing view OF the situation is
taken by the parties Immediately con-
cerned and it il. asserte.. With TIC
authority ut the foreign Office and the
japanese legation,
The Associate,. Press correspondent
has talked lengthily with d.. -Motono
during the iast few days and the sit-
uation heretofore set forth in these
dispatches reflected the 5ieWs of Dr..
Motono and others diectle concerned,
although with the usual reservation
of not using their names. However,
in view OF the continued reports that
there were indications that Minister
Delcasse and Dr. MOtonD were taking
an active part in the negotiations the
correspondent of the Associated Press
called at the Japanese legation and
requested Dr. Motono to furnish de-
cisive statement which would nut at
rest all misunderstanding.
Japanese Ministers Statement.
Accordingly DR.. Motono gave the
Associated Press the following cate
gorical statement, which was taken
in writing and may be accepted as
authoritatiyely clearing the situation.
Il tell you explicitly that there are
no peace negotiations or pre,lminarles
for initiating peace negotiations in
progress at this time so far as / am
aware and I believe my information
to be complete. / am not desirous of
discussing the general question of
peace for, owing to the complete alb
sence of negotiations or preliminaries
towards negotiations, that question
can only be academic and without
practical bearing
The statements that I have con-
ferred with M. Delcasse at his resi-
dence are false and are calculated to
confuse a situation which is perfectly
plain. There is no representative Of
Japan authorized at this time to dis
cuss peace or foreshadoW in the least
what conditions the japanese govern
ment might not consider if the nego-
tiations assumed a practical stage. On
the contrary Japan is now engaged in
conducting a military campaign and
she will resolutely proceed with that
important work. .
