ENGLISH CORONER ANGRY.
Chilean Battleship Sails With Wit
nesses in Death Case.

PLYMOUTH, England, November 20.
The departure of the Chilean bat
tleship Almirante Latorre with wit
nesses who had been summoned to
appear at a coroner's inquest over
a Chilean sailor has resulted in Sc
we're criticism of Admiral Luis Gomez
by Coroner Rodd.
This was the fourth time the
Chilean witnesses had failed to ap-
pear at the adjourned inquest, and
when the coroner was informed that
the warship had sailed he said:
'The conduct of the Chilean ad-
miral is undoubtedly gross contempt
OF this court, and were the ship not
outside of this jurisdiction the adj
miral would be dealt with in the
manner he thoroughly deserves. I
do not think that any court Of Justice
in this country has ever been treated
with greater contempt.
81 shall report the facts to the
Chilean government and hope that
the admiral will be punished in a
manner his ungentlemanly conduct
deserves"
