Sis-moo , Chill , ( via Galveston , Tex. )
Nov. 10.-By [ Mexican Cable to the Now
York Herald Special to Tun Bui.J I have
had an Important interview with Senor
Malta , the Chilian mlnistorof foreign affairs ,
whoso reply to the demand of the United
States for satisfaction on account of ho Bal
timore outrage has created so much dis
cussion. Senor Matin prefaced his remarks
by snylng that ho was reluctant to express
any opinion on a subject of such grave importance -
portanco that was still under consideration.
It was , ho said , contrary to diplomatic usage.
In tha course of Iho conversation , however ,
I was given to understand that the Chilian
minister was of the opinion that the United
States representatives hero seemed to think
that they would In every way dlclato to
Chill what she should do and should not do
under various conditions. This stand on the
part of the United States roorosentallvos , ho
added , was unlonnolo.
"As to the vurlous slorioj , so industriously
nnd persistently spread , that the present
government of Chill was unfriendly
to the United States' administration
or Its people , nothing , i assure you , could bo
further from the truth. " Ho said Ihoy
wofo poslllvo nnsstatomonlsof Iho real facls.
When every dolail of Iho cvonls that have
transpired since the junta began Its war
against Batmaccda became known , the pco
plo of both countries would bo called upon to
actos Judges. The demands of Captain Schley ,
Minister Malta continued , that an ofllcor
from the Baltimore bo permitted to bo pres
ent at the Inquiry into the riot in Valparaiso
was entirely against the legal course of pro
cedure in Chill. Neither the president of
the country nor Its congress could order n
judgn of crimes to admit persons to n secret
trial. It was loft to the discretion of the
judge of crimes himself , when a witness was
under examination , lo ask the intervention or
presence of an nmlcus cura. All these data ,
relative to Chilian legal procedure , have been
transmitted to United Stales Minister Egan
within tbo last few davs.
Pushing thn Inquiry.
Senor Malta impressed mo strongly with
the conviction that the Chilian authorities
will reach the completion of the judicial in
quiry Into the attack upon the Baltimore sea
men aud will act spocuily and fairly in ar
riving at a conclusion. It is , however , evi
dent that the forcible protosls of Iho Unilcd
States In rcirard to the whole nro not re
garded in n pleasing light.
Minister Egan yesterday said to mo that
the political refugees in the United States
legation have had all their correspondence
examined by him. All letters sent or re
ceived by the refugees have passed through
his hands for perusal. The same rule , he
said , was observed by him when ho was shel
tering refugees from the wrath of Balmacoua.
"I have Informed all the refugees now In
the legation , " ho continued , "that upon my
receiving word that this rule in regard to examining
amining their correspondence had been In
any way violated I should cause the expul
sion of the guilty ones from their asylum.
So far as I have been able to learn up to aato
there does not appear to' be the slightest
grounds for believing or oven su.spoctinp that
any ono of Iho refugees In the United States
legation was Implicated in a plot to kill
Colonel Canto. "
Judge Foster made n request of Captain
Schloy through Consul McCroory that the
American seamen who were victims of the
nssuult bo permitted to toslify. Captain
Schloy replied that the Injured men must oo
llrst entirely recovered in health and ofllcors
from the Baltimore must bo allowed ar the
hearing while the mon wore giving their ovi-
denco.
PuniHliJiiK nnlinnocdn's Olllccra.
The military has decided after cxamlninga
number of minor ex-army officers , lormorly
in Iho employ of Balmaceua , to .suspend for
six years all their rights to hold either civil
or military ofllces. In audition they must
give security for their good behavior.
I tlnd reliable authority for stating that the
entire question of the relalions between Chill
and the United States , tbo present and past
attitude of Minister Egan and his general
views of subjects referring to the affairs be
tween the respective countries will bo fully
ventilated at the coming congress by several
prominent senators.
Throughout all his conversation with mo
there was a bitter vein In Senor Malta's re
marks , showing that ho felt keenly the utti-
ludo of the big republic of the United Slates
and was annoyed that so great a nation
should press matters &o closely. The fact Is
that nothing hurts so much as startling facts ,
and tbo Chilians , in common with every
ether pcoplo , do not like lo have them pub-
llshed.

United KtntcH Navy U'lll Rendezvous
In ValptrnlHO Harhor.
\VASinxorox , D. C. , Nov. 10. | SpecIal Tel
egram to Tin : BED. ] It lc' generally bellovea
hero that there Is an Important meaning to
the activity In the navy yrtrds throughout the
country by which every nvollablo war vessel
is being put Into readiness for sen. The
naval authorities .havo contended that the
activity meant nothing further than n desire
to got the vessels started n their fall cruises.
But there is no coincidence In the fact that
the navy yards at Boston. Brooklyn , San
Francisco and olsowhcro-aro being worked
night and day , Including Sundays , It Is be
lieved to bo n parC of a pro-ar-
raneod . program which has boon
fully considered In connection with
our complication ' " 1th Chill. For the last
ten days the Chilian ouestion has taken
much of the president's time , but It Is only
within the last two days that a settled pro
gram Is reported to have" been dolormmod
upon.
It Is reported to bo substantially this , In
the language of a naval ofllcor : "A demand
has already been mndo on Chill for an ex
planation of the Baltimoio tragedy and the
reply has boon mndo that an investiga
tion was hi progress. It is not con
tended that this Invostigalion Is not
In progrcs , but It Is not Intended
that this Investigalion shall bo loft
to drug along and take such easy
course as the Chilians sco lit. Within n
short time a second demand will bo made
upon Chill for an explanation. This will
reclto that the llrst demand has not mot with
the prompt action which the United States
expected to have taken. There will then bo
another delay. In the bopo that Chill will
offer nn apology and agree lo Indemnify the
families of the murdered sailors. If Chili
fails to take this action the final stroke of
the program will bo mado. The
Hoots of the United Stales will
rendezvous In Iho harbor of Valparaiso.
The purpose Is lo make thl 'rendezvous ' such
ns Is iinproccdonled In tha naval history of
the United States. For the time being the
squadrons which manoouvpr In foreign ports
will bo broken up and absorbed In the main
rendezvous nt Valparaiso The now ships
and these which are being repaired in the
navy yard will bo centered lu Chilian
waters. "
"Tho purpose of this unsocial demonstra
tion , " continued the navnl-onicor , "will bo to
open the eyes of the Chilians to the fact that
the second demand upon thorn
means business. Thov are accustomed
to look upon the jT United States
navy as a lot of old wooiloa , hulks and they
will be made to comprehend in this forcible
manner wnat an extcnslvo , naval armament
can be assembled in their horDor. It is be
lieved by the officials who .havo outlined this
program that the mere prQ3 < ; nco ot this vast
naval force will ho sufllciopt to impress the
Chilians Into an imrnedihtp response , If it is
not a decisive stop of sortie ghuractor will bo
taken. It would then bo f r congress to de
cide upon the future courrtnand to' Issue a
formal declaration of war.If It was neces
sary. So far as tbo cxccsiivo and the naval
authorlllcs nan act , the rendezvous of tbo
lleot before Valparaiso would express their
disapproval of Chill's courso. "
In discussing tl0 } alleged program , the
authorities nro represented to have oeon
careful to consider ona. Important point.
There nro extensive British and German
mercantile houses In Valparaiso and It is evi
dent that a naval demonstration might haz
ard the property interests of these British
and German merchants and might urge Gor
man and British interference nnd thus ter
minate Chill's hoslllo altiludo. What will
como of the alleged programme as thus laid
out is a nuoition of conjoctui'o , but It is a
source of much interest among the few naval
ofllcors who profess to know something
about the case.

LONDON' , Nov. 10 , 0 p. ra , A dlspalch just
received here from Pcroambuco , brings
further alarming intelligence regarding the
situation of affairs In Brazil. There is no
doubt that the present situation of affairs In
Brazil , arising out of the assumption of
dictatorial prwors by "tho late presi
dent of tha republic , .Marshal Dcodoro
da Fonseca , Is rapidly approaching a point
where a resort to arms will bo necessary to
establish the position of tbo dictator. The
dispatches of yesterday nhowcd lhat there
was u feeling of discontent prevailing every
where throughout Brazil. The republicans
see in this lust move of Ua Fonseca nn at
tempt to override the authority vested In him
by the constitution. So strong has the oppo
sition to Da Fonseca grown that yesterday
it was announced that the Important prov
ince of Hio Graudo do Sul had declared its
independence.
The dispatch just received shows that
slops will have to bo Immediately tation lo
prevent , If possible , the disintegration of the
republic. The province ot Grao Para has
followed the oxnmplu set by the Hlo Gran do
do Sul nnd today it declared Its indepen

Sr.nu.u , Mo. , Nov. 10. The eleventh an
nual session of the National Farmers congress -
gross mot hero today. There could bo no
mistake In Iho diameter of the assembly.
Wood's opera house , the place of the meet
ing , was handsomely decorated with various
agricultural products , sheaves of grain , immense -
monso stalks of corn , pumpkins llko barrels ,
and cars of corn ns big as one's arm. There
were 200 delegates present , representing
thirty different stales. On Iho platform were
seated Governor Francis of Missouri ,
vlco president , A. W. Smith of ICnnsas ; sec
retary , B. I. Clayton of Iowa ; Hon. Frank B.
Myor , president of the Commercial club of
SeJalia ; Colonel Daniel Necdhnm of Boston ,
president of the Now England Agricultural
society ; Senators John Patterson ana W. D.
Kent of Iowa ; Hon. W. Pope Ycamand of
Missouri and others.
Secretary Clayton culled tbo congress to
order , and stated that ho had Just received
word from President ICnlb of Montgomery ,
Ala. , that It would bo impossible for him to
attend.
Vice President A. M. Smith of Kansas pre
sided. Ilo was presented with n phenom
enally largo car of corn to bo used as a gavel.
Address t > y Governor Krauei.4.
After prayer , Governor Francis delivered
the address of welcome on behalf of the
state. After bidding the delegates welcome
ho stid ? It was eminently proper that tlio men
who represented the greatest interest in the
nation should moot nnd confer and discuss
the best methods to promote Iho welfare nnd
protection of their interest. Farmers had
grievances. There was no doubt of that ,
and It was proper that they should moot nnd
devise moans to correct thorn. Class legisla
tion , ho continued , had been one
potent cause of the depression
of agricultural Intorosls. The depres
sion had been of long continuance
nnd it was time now thut the farmer was
given rccognilion in the councils of tno na
tion. There wore two great questions , Iho
proper solution of which would tona lo nmc-
ora.le Iho farmers' condition. Ono was the
improvement of the great water courses
which would furnish cheap transportation
for farmers' products. The Missouri river
could bo Improved at a cost of 5 0,000,000 , a
small amount compared to the expenditure
of the billion dollar congress. The ottier
great question was the improvement of the
country roads , whicn would furnish good
transportation for the small farmers to their
nearest markets.
Vice President A. W. Smith responded to
'
the address of wclcomo , and tlm'nkca the
governor for his cordial words of welcome.
ilo agreed with the governor that the grdat
water courses of the country should bo Im
proved , both in the interest of the farmer ,
the manufacturer and the merchant. Twontj
million dollars was n small enough amount to
lie devoted to Iho Improvement of a big river
llko the Missouri. He was not alarmed , ho
said , at any billion dollar congress. Ho
thanked God that ho lived in a country where
the appropriation of a billion dollars Dy
ono congress would not bankrupt the
treasury. The agricultural interests was the
croutest interest of the nation , and legisla
tion should take It moro Into account than it
docs. Still the farmer did not nslc for class
legislation. The affairs of the nation could ,
and should , bo administrated without any
clashing of the Interests of the farmer and of
the manufacturer.
Acting Mayor Carrel also delivered an ad
dress of welcome , to which Colonel Daniel
Ncednatn of Boston responded. Ho returned
thanks for the cordiality of their wclcomo.
They came hero , ho continued , not as domo-
cruis , not as republicans , nnd ho thanked
God not ns "formers allluncors. " They
camoroDrcsonlipg Iho agricultural interests
of the nation , irrespective of party.
Still another address of welcome was ex
tended by Frank B. Mover , president of the
Scdnlia Commercial club.
Secretary B. F. Clayton of Iowa responded ,
after which adjournment was taken until 'J
o'clock In the afternoon.
At the "afternoon session the committee on
resolutions was appointed as follows : G. W.
Schweiik of Colorado , II. W. Long of Geor
gia. C. W. Baker of Illinois , Leroy Temple-
ton of Indiana , Senator W. G. ICent ot lown ,
Joshua Whnelor of Kansas , F. M. Clements
of Kentucky , W. H. Vinton of Maine , Hon.
Pope Yeaman of Missouri , W. S. Delano of
Nebraska , J. B. Smith ot Pennsylvania and
Orlando Hardman of West Virginia.
Various resolutions were Introduced , all of
which were referred to the committee on
resolutions wilhout djscusslon.
Hon. William Freomau of Maine road a
paper on "Tho Holatlon of the Farmer to the
Manufacturer and Organized Bodies. "
Jumped Into Politics.
A general discussion followed the reading
of Iho paper , In which polllics , which was
supposed to have been laboood , played n
prominent part.
Dicic Duiton of Missouri steered the dis
cussion Into the political path. Mr. Duiton
Is an actual farmers alliance man and acted
as the lieutenant of U. U. Hall during the
noted light in the Missouri alliance against
the sub-treasury measure and against the
alliance going into politics. Mr. Duiton dis
cussed Iho farmers' condition from the dem
ocratic standpoint ; ho attributed the de
pression of agricultural Interests to class
legislation effecting the finances of the
country nnd to a high tariff. Ho was called
to order by various delegates who were en
the ether side of the political fence , but sup
ported by these who sympathized with his
views tin continued his romurks In the vein
In which ho started ,
Josnua Wheeler of Kansas thought each of
the old parlies was as much to blame as Iho
othor. Neither seemed to care much for the
farmer except on election day.
The discussion was continued to a creat
length until Secretary Cluylon moved lo ud-
journ. Ho said n meeting of this kind resem
bled a keg of beer. Just so much foam had
to bo worked off before they could get down
to business. Ho thought time enough had
been given to working off the foam , and
moved an adjournment , which wus taken
until S o'clock In the ovenlng , when Hon.
Pope Veatnan , president of the Board of
Hogents of the Sluto unlvurslly of Missouri ,
delivered an address on "Missouri. "
Mr , Ycaman Introduced his remarks on
Missouri with a brief sketch of Iho ht&lorv
of politics of Iho country. Ho believed that
the dccaloguo should play an Important part
In polllics. Ho Dollovod an enlightened con
science should dictalo the Individuals politi
cal belief. Under such condition ho believed
the whole people would ultimately como to
sco that the tariff was a lax und that the only
just tariff was n tariff that would yield
enough revenue for the absolute needs of the
government economically administered ,

lorcnoon was spent In routine business.
U'orthy Foreman llunh Cavanagh presided
until General Master Workman Powdony
entered the hall. Ho was received with
rounds of cheers from the delegates.
A discussion In regard to the seating of
certain delegates took up Iho time until 1
o'clock , when adjournment was taken.
At the nftornooon session these cases were
all settled except the protest against the
seating of Major McGowan , which was re
ferred back to the committee on credentials.
The report of the committee on law was
presented and laid over to hear Mr , Pow-
derly's annual address , which was ordered
printed nnd distributed to the member befora
being clven to the public.
General Secretary-Treasurer Hayes next
reported. Though the expenditures of the
order for tno past year were swelled by sev
eral extraordinary outlays the revenues were
sunicient to meet all demand ! ) . By order of
the executive board lie has exonerated a
number of assemblies from payment of the
per canlta tax , but urges that requests of
this sort should bo discouraged. Ho com
plained that some assemblies send In Incor
rect reports to the general ofllces to cscapb
their full taxation and asks that moans bo
devised for preventing this , Ho closes with
the hope that the order may hnvo n respite
from strikes and labor troubles so that the
general ofllccrs can attend to education work.
The general executive board's ' report fol
lowed. It states that there is a growing foolIng -
Ing in England and other countries in favor
of autonomy nnd recommends that ttiis
should bo crantod. A number of letters wcro
read from the order in South Africa and Now
Zealand , where it was growing rapidly.
The board also complains that the labels of
the order are counterfeited systematically ,
aud that , as tno law affords no sulHciont pro
tection , asks the appointment nf a special
committee to devise moans of remedy. The
board congratulates the order on Its member
ship of UTO.OOO , but cautions against the
reckless admission of members.
This evening n formal reception was given
the general Qfllcors and delegates at Memorial
hall. The address of wclcomo was by Mayor
Ermlck , response by Mr. Powdorly. Other
addresses wcro made by citizens and members

there are four events In progress -tho colo-

nil at Milan , the speech of the im.rmiis of

the country , far from the cities ,

The marquis of Salisbury's speech
at the lord mayor's banquet has
had the effect of frightening
the political world of continental Europe ,
wno feel that It is far too optimistic. The
British premier strives too hard to paint In
rose color , nnd Intentionally neglects the
black. Moreover In I1 rauco no ono admits
that thn question of the evacuation of Egypt
Is a closed ono , simply because It pleases
Lord Salisbury to so consider it , and to so
speak of it.
Well informed persons also ask why Lord
Salisbury didn't say anything about the In
terview ho had on Saturday with Count
iliitzfehlt , the Uorman ambassador In Lon
don , who at the very Instant tlmt ho was
about to stop on board the Dover boat to
cross the channel , received n telegram from
his govnnimont to return to London and pro
ceed immediately from the railway station
to the foreign ofllcj. The reason for this
sudden move was that the Cicrmun govern
ment wUhed to settle dellnitely with Lord
Salisbury the pending dispute in Africa bo-
twcen England and ( Jermany.
I am able to add that Lord Salisbury Is far
from well nnd is extremely fatigued. Ilo
wishes to retire from olllce. It Is believed
that his successor will bo Lord Dufferin ,
ambassador at Homo , who has Just been
named warden of the Cinque ports.
The marquis of Hudini's speech nt Mlian Is
also very optimistic. Ho says with a great
many phrases that all Is well. As wo aroused
used to declarations of this kind from Italian
ministers , it is not of much Importance , but
that the Milan speech would have ticcn much
moro rcassurlnc had it mentioned that nothing
should bo changed in the guarantees of tbo
papacy. This would have boon a greater re
lief to the Catholics , after the recent riots In
Home.
