NINE. GOULD LEAVES FRANCE
subterfuEe Used IN Avoid Possible
Trouble with BOni Found TO
he NeedIeEs.

PARIS. March 12.-et became known here
today that Madame Anna Gould, who sailed
yesterday for New York on the steamer
Adriatic, booked her passage under the
name Of Miller. She had originally taken
passage for herself and her children on
the Kron Prinz Wilhelm, but changed her
plans at the last moment. Although she
had the written consent Of her former hus-
band, Count Boni De CasteIlane, to take the
children out Of France, she adopted the
ruse Of changing steamers and using an
assumed name in case the count should
attempt at the last moment to prevent the
children's departure Count Boni had been
under the impression that Madame Gould
and the children were on board the Kron
Prinz Wilhelm and telegraphed his greet
ings to the children inscare of that steamer
Count Boni de Castenane has issued a
letter characterizing as piece Of buffoon-
cry the suit brought Y Prince de sagan,
his cousin, accusing hll3 Of forging certain
letter signed with De sagsn'E name and re-
flecting upon Nine. Gould. Count Boni de-
clares that this suit was brought upon the
eve of the departure Of his children and
their mother for America and evidently
with the purpose Of furnishing the Ameri-
can newspapers with material for sensa-
tional articles.

MANY MEN ARE MOVED DOWN
Report frorn sIguique that Thousands
of strikers Were Killed with
lfachfne Guns.

SAN FRANCISCO March 12-Mochine
guns operated by the government forces Of
Chile in a lroat conflict with strikers r.
the nitrate beds and In the city OF Iquiuue
laid 250o men low, most Of these being
killed. according TO advices received yes
terday by the Norwegian cruiser Christian
Burs. arriving direct from Chile.
Business at Iuuique which had never be-
fore been seriously disturbed by anything
but earthquakes was paralyzed when the
great army Of workers went on strike.
One fracas after another occurred. until
soldiers and strikers met in the streets OF
Iquique and on the outskirts and openly
defied each other
Being ordered to drive the army Of men
away and disperso them. the soldiers
opened fire. while they massed and literally
moved down the men. They had little op-
portunity to fight back, even though they
had been armed. the assault upon them was
SO Sudden.
This took place on January and was
followed by two or three days Of oppressive
gloom in this community. while the funerals
of the killed were taking place.
A week later. as though by common
agreement, the strikers went back TO work
without the expected advance in wages.
It was reported that the mine owners will
voluntarily increaEe the pay OF many OF
their employees.
The story coming from San Francisco of a
great conflict bdfwecn the government
forces and strikers at IuuiQue, saying that
$500 men were lsid low, evidently is an
exaEgeration and incorrect as to date. A
dispatch received from Valparaiso. dated
December 2S said that according to an
official statement the recent encounter at
Iquique between nitrate strikers and the
police resulted 81 the killing Of 40 men
and the wounding uf about fifty. This un-
doubtedly is the same occurrence men
toned in the advices brought into San
Francisco by the Norwegian steamer Chris

ing to a close has been one OF the most
favorable in the history Of the state for
