Captain Evans1 tins reported to tha dopirtmont that four of the host cruisers In the Chilian navy will leave Valparaiso January 0 for the straits of Magellan , with a torpedo boat bo- uiiles. Prom another ofllcor comes the ml Ji- tional Information that the captain of ono of the English ships of war in ttioso waters said that thu Chilian commander informed him that the licet win going "on a special mission. " "You will bo astonished bo fore long , " ho said. said.This This news n Interpreted to mom that Admiral Walker's ( loot may bo halted there nnd directed to turn back or risk a light. This is the most serious Indication of Chili's ' hoslilo Intentions that the Navy department has received. Naval ollloors say it can only moan ono thing , which U that Chili Intends opening the ball lionelf. The vejsols to go are said to bo the Ksmorulda , the Almiranto Cochrane , the Pinto , a now unarmored cruUor whojo sailing rate Is nlnotoon knots , nnd the Condell , the famous fast torpedo boat that blow up the lilunco ICncalado. IViirH Tor U'ullirr'rt 1'lrct. Admiral Walker in his flagship , the Chicago cage , arrived at Montevideo January 11. Ho was today Informed of what might happen to In in and warned to make ready for it. i''or the llrst time there is real alarm hero at the threatened danger to Admiral Walker. His squadron Is not equipped with torpedoes , and the Chicago mlirht bo blown up in spUo of thoutmottvlgllanco. It would bo n daring and plucky attempt , but so w.v ; the success ful attempt on the lilanco Kncn lada. Captain Kvans also infonm the depart ment that he Is taking the mojt extreme precautions - cautions on account of what he has boon told for the safety of the Yorktown. Ho does not Intend to bo blown out of the water If ho can help It. Important Cabinet Mrcllnt ; . President Harrison and his cabinet held a most Important meeting at 11 o'clock. Tues day is tha regular cabinet day , but on this occasion the president's advisers assembled for the solo purpose of discussing thu special message to congress on the Chilian affair , which the president has prepared and which ha submits to tha members of thu cabinet bo- Jo re bonding It , togjthcr with the cor respondence , to the two houses of congress. The president's message Is not a request fern n declaration of war ; It Is not n suggestion that congress shoald declare war ; It is Bimply n message reviewing what the Unltod States has done to induce the Chilian govern ment to make reparation for ttio assault upon thu Baltimore sailors an.l describing the delay which has been encountered In arriv ing at a poacoabto solution of thu dirtlculty. Ills couchud In such terms th.it it will bo s left optional with congress to Instruct the president to send an ultimatum to the Chilian government under the toravs of which ample apology must bo rendered with out delay and upon the penalty of war with the United Stales. The pto.iidunt has been greatly interested In thu utterances of those con grcssmuu who appear to favor war with Chill. Illxliut ( iiildnllriiHl.fil. . In his prayer in the house the chaplain In voked divine guldanco for the president , his advisors and thu members of the two houses in the present crisis. The cabinet mooting proceedings were only temporarily Interrupted by thu slight illness of Secretary Hlaino. There Is reason to bcllovo ttio government has received dis patches through tha Chilian minister looking to a peaceful and satisfactory solution of the questions In dispute , and they wuro sub mitted to the cabinet today. This may pos sibly do away altogether with the necessity of referring tha question to congress. It wns reported Ht thu capital today that the government of Gio.it Britain hat/ taken steps to.brlng about a moio friendly feeling between the United States nnd Chili and will Intervene to effect a bottlemcnt of thu trouble. Illillne ObJi'fU to thu MrnsaKr. There wilt bo no mlsundurstandlng of the IIIIIRUIIRU omplojeil by the pros-Ulent , how- evcr. It will ba warlike in tone and will in dicate most unmistakably what the provi dent desires congress to do. It is now under stood that the incssngo and correspondence will ba sent to both houses of congress simul taneously at noon on Wednesday. Should naws of any Importance reach this country from Chili , the message might bu delayed , hut the president Is very anxious that it should go in this weak. It Is not llkoly that the president will encounter - counter any opposition to his project , except from Scctutary Blnino. Mr. Hlalnu has labored long and earnestly with the presi dent In the effort to Induce him to take a broader vlaw of thu Chilian episode. Ho Is said to have pointed out that thu United States can gain nothing by war with Chill nud will abate nothing of Its dignity chouid It take no ether action In the premises than the severance ot diplomatic irolatious. Mr. Itlnlnu U still linn In the bultof that the Chilian government will redeem the pledges whlnU Minister Monti has already given of n hnllsfuctoiy reply to thu demands of the Unltod States , Ho four.houover , that a rtiPturo of HOinu sort muy bo piecipltiuud by tuo course pursued by our naval representa tives In Chilian waters. Ho Is also upora- hunslvn lost thu Chilian government , lucking in adequate knowledge of our somewhat un derrated navy , should tuko umbrugu at tbo prospect of an ultimatum , when If a little more tlmo had boon given a peaceful termi nation would huvo followoJ.

Thov mav moot the four ships nnd thu torpedo boat which loft Valparaiso soiflu days ago lilted for war and on n most serious errand. C'limtiiiiniliT iiinn' : Diitlvt , Ono of the dutlos of Commander Kvnns of Iho Yorittown at Vulpanii o , in addition to his general Instructions to ' 'cop the Navy de partment advised of the condition of affairs In Chill , Is to report with promptness the movements of the vessels of the Chilian navy so far as ho Is able to ascertain. . In accordance with these specific Instruc tions , ho today Informed the Navy depart ment that the Chilian steamer lOsiuaialua left the port of Valparaiso at I o'clock this morning to go to the usslstnncaof thn British mall steamshiplohn Elder , which is reported asboro 100 miles south of Valoaralso. This was the sum and substance of his dispatch. Siillcil fm-tlm Mouth. That it inailo no allusion whatever to the Yorntown's having been fired on is tskun us an absolute refutation of the rumor to that affect circulated lust ovontng. It is learned today from a source that cannot bo questioned tlmt I ho Halmaccda refugees nro still on the Yortttown and con sequently are In no dungor of fulling Into the hands of'tho Chilians by reason of thu wreck of the steamship.lohn Elder. The statement that thuy woroj > laced on that vessel in dis- gulso at Valparaiso Is therefore incorrect. The fact that the Ksmornlda has gene to the wreck of the John Elder might Indicate , however , that the local authorities incline to the Impri'Siion that the refugees wcro pai- sonucrs on that vessel. Word has been received In Washington that the Philadelphia , the llagshlp of Ad miral ( Jurhurdi'K squadron had sailed south from thu IJurbadoes , for Montevideo. This Indicates a general naval movement of 1m portanco , as the station lines of tno naval system are regarded as absolute , except In cases of emergency. Then ) Is consluerablo speculation as to who would ho placed In command of the naval force in the Paclllii In case of war , but the general opinion centers upon Ko.ir Admiral Kiinberly , Who is at the hoaJ of the active list. Ho U now on shore duty in this city. Fur thu Itunrllt at tlir Iti-lngfi't. An Associated Press reporter had ar. inter esting talk today with a Chilian gentleman who stands high 1tho estimation of tno Chilian government , with regard to the re cent act of the minister of foreign affairs in Informing Minister Egan that the refugees now on the Yorktown would bo liable to souuro if thn vassal on which they wcro to leave Chill for Europs touched at , any of the locnl ports of that country. According to thu statements made by this gentleman , the only infuienco TO ho drawn from the action of the minister of lorelgn affairs Is the Chilian gov ernment really meant it to bo for the benefit of the refugees Instead of notice of an at- uttompt to secure their persons. The Chilian government , ho said , had never asked their delivery from the legation , nnd It had never offered to give thorn n safe conduct out of the country. The gentleman llKonod their case to that of n citizen of the United Slates against another clti/on who mlpht have n claim in which It would not bo possible for tha Unltod States to stop the debtor from leaving the country. But them wcro proceedings of impeachment and charges In the cotitts against some of the refugees , and they could DO apprurondod by me.iiis of these instrumentalities at any poll where the vessel might touch. Nil ( iroiiiiiU tor Complaint. ThoRentloman said that the ministers and rcfuRces had traveled "In concealment" from Santiago to Valparaiso , and although thu govi-rnmont was fully aware of what was goinir on , it was Ignorant of thu circum stance. This instance was cited ns showing that the government could nave taken the refugees during the trip if it so desired. But after It had been Infotmud officially that they wcro aboard the cruiser Yorktown nnd Intended to sail tor Europe on a steamer touching at a Chilian nort , the government was compelled to take cognizance of thu fact , nnd then notified Minister Egan that the refugees would bo liable to seizure if found on such merchant vessel in n Chilian port. It was to avert this seizure that the minister of foruiirn affnirs , with fiiundly intention ? , communicated to the American minister what might bo expected to happen. The uovornmoat could not Interfere - fore in thu procoedlnirs of the courts , which would huvo caused the at rest of the refugees. The contlonun referred to Intinuted that the stntuments ho made would bo substantiated by later developments. In the course of further conversation con cerning the reason allowed to have been as signed by the Chilian minister of foreign af fairs for his action , vl&s That Commander Evans had saluted the Spanish minister , the gentleman treated the rouort in a manner which Indicated that ho placed very little credence in it. Opinions of CiingrcHHiiiiMi. There wns u lull in the talk today in refer ence to the Chilian matter on the house side of the capital. The disposition was to await the receipt of the president's message before endeavoring to form an } ' decided opinions on the subjnet. The fooling expressed was nearly all on the sldo of dUballnf in war as tha probable outcome of the trouble. Members bors could not say just In what way they ex pected the trouble to. pass away , but there was a general concurrence of opinion that It would do RO in some manner or othor. A number of demo cratic representatives who were tnlkoa with dopiccatod a war with so small n nation ns Chili , and said the Unltod States U largo and strong enough to afford to overlook a great many things rather than proceed to oxtroml- ties. Chill , they said , had only ; tOJO,000 to otirliO.OOO.UOO , and thuy wcro as a whole poDr , only partly civllUcd nnd without a strong govern mont. O'lriniy the afternoon n report was in cir culation that thu situation has assumed a slightly more puclllcaspect. It was rumored that Oreiit Britain had intervened nnd of fered her good olllccs to bring about n paaco- ful uilj'istment ' of the relations botwccn the two countries. No official confirmation of this rumor could bo learned by members , but U found credence with many from the fnot that it hud been anticipated that an amlr.nblo arrangement might ba reached through the friendly Interposition of some third nation , and Croat Britain , with her vast material Interests in Chill , was looked upon as most likely to bo the Intervening power. KiiKliinil u a Mrillatiir. A difference of opinion was \nlfastod ns to whether or not the United Slates ought to accept the mediation of any third party with out an expression fiotn Chili of regret at the lawless acts of her citiions , and disavowal of official connection or sympathy with them. Many members thought that , on account of Chill s small slzo this government need not be at all rigorous In Its roqulromonU. Onu member said that thu United States ought not to accept mediation without IIwt receiv ing nu apology from Chill , and that ho did not bolievu President Harrison was willing to du so. Some anxiety M felt by that mem ber at the doloj , and nu Is anxious that If trouble Is to occur it should tawu place before - fore the Captain Prat , Chili's formidable \\arvossel now building in France , can bo turned over to Chili. It is thu knowledge of the fact that the Prat Is ncaring completion which niakos tha members of soni'iofthu seaboard cities anxious that thu president's message to concrosn should soon bo forth coming If trouble is to ba feared. Whllo the tilk today was favorable to peace iiuinv democratic members said plainly that If lighting did como they were In favor of pushing thu war vigorously and relent- Inssly. omitting no meaturu to give Chill u suvoro lesson , .Mlliinro MoutluM' * < ) | iHned | tu War. Should thu president recommend congress to declare war against Chill , the vote of congress gross would bu onu of the won empnatlo at- llrmaltvos over recorded ID the national capl tol. But there would bu a minority , and there tlio maker of history will IIml the two moiv prominent ulliunco senutor3--ICylo and Poffor. What Senator Irbv would say , 'voro hu hero , is not known. The reporter con versed with Senator * ICylu and PolTer on the interesting topic of probabio strife. "I'ho sen timent of the people I ropr-Menl. " said Mr Kvle-Is aifainst any war with Chili. Such n contort would bo u national disgrace. The bare Idea of going to war with a ouutrv smaller than one of our klntd Is criminally ludicrous. Tu thn civilized world It would secui a * though a big six-footer WM attack. Ing a little newsboy. The Unltod States can't afford to pose as a bully , but It can af ford to wait. If wo nro patient 1 think some thing favorable to n peaceful settlement of tbo dlniculty will develop ; the temporarily opaqtiu situation must surely dissolve , nnd Its component parti wilt then bo visible. Wo shall not allow ourselves to bo insulted , but under no circumstances ought wo to bo hasty. " U'liut I'ofTcr TlilnkH of HIP Airitlr. "War with Chill would bo an absurdity , au Inexcusable folly , " said Senator Poffor. "It Is something not to bo sorlously thought of uy sensible people. I urn opposed to war so long as other means of n settlement are available. To bo sure , there is some war feeling throughout tbo country , but that Is not straiik'o. nor Is It nationally creditable. A perverted doctrine of patriotism Is ronpon- siblo for this. The Idea tlmt the trouble at Valparaiso constitutes cause for war springs from n mistaken sense of honor. A lot of our sailors , most of them probably intoxicated , became parties to a brawl , and because two or three of them were kilj.'d | wo must bring about an enormous expense , and tha death of many tnoro of our people. The proposition Is perfect foolishness. L.ct I ho president and the State department handle tbo matter cautiously and with proper deliberation , aud in thu course of time I oollovo wo can arrive nt an International understanding. Later wo would ask for Indemnity , and It seems to mo that any reusonabl-j request for financial reparation to tbo families of the men killed would bo favorably responded to. The statement that (50,000,0JO ( the biggest , richest nnd most prosperous nation on earth should entertain the idea of war with a little country ilka Chill is nu absurdity. Wo know better and our knowlou'go should ba apparent In our actions. Let us sot the little fellows a good example , notwithstanding the existence ot strong reasons to uellevo that thu correspondence has nottakcn a favorable turn. Thi most diligent inquiry fails to so- euro any ofllcial confirmation of the receipt of dispatches of a peaceful tenor and on the other hand ono member of the cabinet this afternoon declared that there was no chungo in the situation. " Muy Withhold Ills .ttCHSiigu. The cabinet did not pursue tbo discussion after Secretary Blalno's retiring from the meeting , sq that any dispatches that ho may have hau In bis possession could not bu fully considered at that time. It Is understood , however , that the subject will be taken up at thu point where Its discussion was inter rupted when the cabinet meets again , which muy bo tomorrow , and meantime the corre spondence will bo withheld fiom congress. It Is learned ofilcially tonight that the president's ' message on thu subject will not bo sent to congress tomorrow. While ofllcial information on this point does not extend beyond - yond tomorrow , there are strong indications that thu president has practically determined to postpone llnal action on this matter until next week , and this gives color to the belief that conciliatory dispatches have already been received and that moro nro expected. It .is known that the provident would strongly endorse any proposition for a settlement of the questions ut issue on a peaceful basis consistent with the uoaor and dignity of the nation.

Mlantonomah was thu only senior ofllcer n reporter could find , last night. Ho is n clover and experienced seaman , who takes a keen iuturcst in the situation and is capable of giving an intelligent opinion con cerning it. In answer to queries put to him by a reporter , ho said : "Not being an army ofjlcor , I Jo not know how long It would take tn mobilize 100,000 men far thn Invasion of Chili , but with the land transport facilities possessed by our government , nolhini ; could be done rapidly. Again , I do not Know what water transports the government has rcnay , but you can imugino a vary largo number of vessels would bo required. Were the troops and transports all ready , It would take them only twcntv-ono days to reach Cnllian waters from San Francisco. The requisite number of vessels could not bo collected on our Pacific coast and they would have to proceed in detachments from New Orleans and ether Atlantic ports , i "Onco In contact with tbo Chilians , wo could easily whip them. If the thrco or four llrst class armored ships of the Chilian navy were destroyed they would be lost. The United States navy would take care of any that they might attempt to bring from Europe , and they could build none ol their own , to speak of , whereas wo have half a dozen navy yards. " lliijlng Milpi for Transport * . "As respects the question of transporta tion , it is snld in the navy yards that the United States government is negotiating with tha Morgan steam packet line for tbo purchase of four of Its fastest vessels plying between this city nnd New Orleans the Elmo , the ElmantthaE\colslor ami another ; also that Iho Navy department has recently purchased a vessel of Savannah , nnd is hav ing it fitted out. The dlfllculty they .say as regards the Morgan line steamers will bo found in fitting thorn with berths and bunks for troops. Tha Savannah vessel can steam thirteen or fourteen knots an hour. "Speaking of Savannah and the south , " said thu Konttomnn who furnished this in formation , "I have Just returned from Now Orleans and found that the war fever there is very high much higher than it is hero. They say in the Crescent City that they are able to furnish men and vessels enough to wipe Chili out of existence. Tboy only ask of the federal govern mont ammunition ; fnd equipments. " Chilians Think Thry Would Unto British llolp In Case ot War , SVN OiKdu , Cal. , Jan. 11) ) . Private advices from authentic' sources In Chill state that among thu common people of that country the talk Is that war will result. The Chilians have no Idea that their government will back down or retract any word or act. They con- bldurthemselvoj strong and expect additional strength from England. They ugreo that the Unltod States navy Is ahlu to wipe their ves sels from thu face of the ocean , but they doubt not their ability to secura recognition from England or to secure somu of England's war ships by purchase. If thu Information Is correct , representatives of the Chilian govern incut are now working on both propo sitions. According to orders received today , the cruiser Charleston will sail on Tuesday or Wednesday for San Francisco. She Is simply awaiting tbo arrival of her now pay master nud surgeon. Mr. J. I ) .

It Is true that the Chilian govi'rnmont no tified Captain Evans of the Yorktown that , It Is unable to guarantee the safety of thu rof- ugccs on hoard his ship If ho undortoo'c ' to transfer them to any departing steamer , nnd that neither could the government prjvont any steamer on which they took passage from oeing searched in any Chilian port nt which tha vessel might touch while on her way north. There was no chunga of minden on the part of the Chilian authorities In re gard to those refugees. In proof .of this It Is only necessary to look at the facts. The fol lowing statement , from n high authority , claims that the government was powerless tn the promise ) : The government of Chill of not , under the constitution of the country , pormltto.l to Interfere with the courts or with public prosecutions , nnd the government could not prevent the seizure of the refugees in any port of Chili they touched nt on their way in any direction to n neutral port. This plain ana direct statomout of law and facts should put at rest the notion , if any such exists , that the surrond.-r of the refugees to the American authorities had a stout and tight string attached to it. Id-port on tlio Assault Mildr Public. The report of the procurator flscjil to the Judge of crimes on the Baltimore affair has been given to the public nnJ there has been time to uxamino It. This document contains 8,000 words anu says that effort ? were directed from the tirst to ascertain the origin of the trouble , but that they were uiiavuil- Ing. Several different accounts of the affair were received. The commandant of police states that the row began In some unknown tavern in ouo part of the city. Another witness says that It began by the American sailors beating n Chilian sailor In an altogether different part of the town. Thu Chilian police say it boean with alight between a loft handed sailor and an Amer ican , and , last of all , the incident Is reported to huvo commenced by some Chilians spitting in the faces of the American sailors in the street. A jrowd near by wns waiting to atfjckthem , had tuoy resented thu insult , so It was said nt the 'time. The Baltimore's mon took refuge on n tram oar , but thu crowd stopped the oar and hauled thorn out , boating them with sticks ana stones and knlliug thorn. Amurirans Itrsvntcd an Insult. The procurator fiscal has accepted the story that tbu trouble began with the resenting - ing by tbo Americans of the spitting in thi-ir locos by the Chilians. For all that my information - formation leads mo to believe that the attack broke out simultaneously in different parts of the city , ns charged in President Harri son's message. This Is denied by the Chilians , nud the procurator closes the Introduction to his ic port by assorting that the light owes its origin to two drunken Baltimore sailors striking u Chilian sailor. Ho then recounts a list of Iho Injured , nnd says it lias only been possible to establish the culpability of four men. Thu tustlmony of Jamo ; Johnson and Charles Langin , two of the Baltimore's crow , whoso testimony was taken here , was rejected in the following lan guage : "How is It if , as Johnson dopojos , they loft the house loeethor and wont together to the scene of the occurrence , It results that they did not know each other , nor had they spoken to each other until the mot nt the scene of Boatswain's Mate Riggin's death J" "How is it that before knowing the man , ho deposes that on thu day of the occurrence they were dining together in the hoarding house ? And Johnson also says that on the day of the ocourronco ho dined together with Laugin in an oatlnc house or. Cochrano street I "Moreover , Is it possible that the act of raising thu wounded man nud the knowing If ho walks or not could pass unobserved under such or any ether circumstances ! " "Tha conclusion is drawn that poisons who indulge In such inconsistencies nro not worthv ot bollof. " Ho says further that "this testimony Is contradicted by that of numerous witnesses who fully prove that It is not possible to at tribute Klein's death to the police , hut that it was the work of .somo unknown parson thus far undetermined. I will add that , tha testimony of these numerous wltnossoi Is ns full of inconsistencies as 13 that of Johnson and Langrln. Further , their testimony con firms much of Johnson's nnd Lnngin'ti , such as the raising of Illggin up , tbo calling for liquor , the holding ol Klcgln's head on John- sou's shoulder , hearing shots , etc. But no ono testifies who llrod the shot. " ICuoclciMl Down by tlio Pollen. Langln's testimony was substantially this : "When Higgln arose the lln < t tlmo , two policemen cnmo up. They drjw short sworJ and knockrd him down again. They then dreu buck mid let the crowd beat him. Afterward u squad of soldiers approached , marching by two" , under command nf a mounted olllcor Thov marched to within six feet from wheru Johnson was holding Uiggin in his arms. Theio they united , and thu llrst two soldiers levelled their rillus nnd fired at the two American sailors. "I was nbout llfteon foot on ono side , " continued Langin. "No ono was between mo nnd thorn , the crowd being hick of the soldiers nt that moment. No ether shots were llrod by anvono. 1 distinctly saw the soldiers level their rllloi at the Baltimore's men nnd lire. The crowd had drawn linen when the soldlow cnmo up , leaving n cluur passage between lUg ln i'hd the soldier * . After tno first shot was llrod the soldiers pressed forward n liltlu nnd I could not seu the second man who llrod , out 1 urn sure it was one of the loading soldiori who tiroj. " Conlllrt ol Toitlmoiiy. MMI.V witnesses exist who are ns ready to say that the shot wns fired by the police as there are that deny It. Than folloun the report ot the export on tuo hulloL hole. Hu says : "Opinion is divided on this point among doctors still , nnd while they assort their opinion that it wns caused bu rillo buliut , it Is rejected because they irivo uo reason for Iho opinion. " Urs , Dalluo and Caldorson maintain that they cannot tell If n bullet caused UlgginM doa'lh , uml give us a reason that thuy suw the body the day niter death. This Is ac cepted. Tuo Chilian exports express thu opinion that tbo holes In thu shirt may hnvo been imidu by n largo Hi/ud lovolvcr , but can glvo no opinion as to what caused tha holo.In tha neck ore bl elf. Lieutenant McCunu expressed the same opinion , but s-uvs thu halo in the bhlrt was caused hy u rillo bullet. Ho made u strong point of the fact that the report , of thu Itroarmf was so slight , notwitn- standing ovldcncu that there was a great tumult In the street. The evidence U conflicting ns to whether ono or two shots were llrod. ( juror The procurator tried to niako n strong point in tbo following Innauugo In order to demonstrate the faulty of thu nfsurtlgn of Johnson and Laiulu ; Th 010 bring to mind a number of In stances which admit of i < o ether course butte to reject tbulr eudcnto Johnson dcpo > es that no held Kiggins' head cm lus breast when two shots were fired from i o group formed by them , end lUoy proJuco us proof the nock-jrchlof nnd sailor's shirt plot ceil hy n hullot. If this had boeu .so Is It posulblo that a rillo which can perforate several per sons would not hnvo touched him I "If what they assert uo true they ought to havooxhiblted tbo blood stains , which must have romali.ed on the shirt. In all his depo sitions Johnson lorgots thl * incident , which wnula have given n greater coloring of truth to his assertions. " Ho then nsks ; "Is it possible 4o uollevo thutl" The plain nnswor to this question Is the unquestioned facts. The hullot passed diagonally downward through the loo-io shirt of Johnson nnd Into Hlggln's body. It could have done so and uaisod two Inches front his breast. In In the case of Turnhull there Is much con- nictlng testimony , but on the strength of Iho admission by Curios Gomez that ho used u knlfo airuinsi Turnbull and the evidence of two witnesses that Jose Ahuamlda Inllicted blows on Americans nnd Kodurlquoi stabbed Higgln In the hip , they A nil thorn guilty , hut that thovo Is no evidence to show that Turn- bull's death was caused by wounds inflicted hy Uomez.

The Until findings wore ns follows ; "I ask the court to condemn Frodorico Kodorqlquo/ to a minor punishment in tha minimum degree - greo of from two to live years.

This man Is active in other directions. 1 notice insertions in the Chilian papers of cxttacta from Ku- ropenn Joutnals that the United States has no navy worth notice , nnd that Chill could with Just no trouble nt all .sink her ships and levy u oontributlon on Sun Frunclsco. The Chilians when piessod hard are forced to admit that they would lie compelled * to sub mit to the United States in thu end. That would bo temporary , however , and they would bj let down oasj by their superior diplomacy. The Chilian fleet has hud steam up for the last , three or lour days and they more or loss torpedo practice every day. The authorities now give out , that the ships are to go to the south. The generally accepted rumor , though , Is 'hat they have been ordered to the straits of Magellan with thn intention of lying In wait for Admiral Walker and the while squadron In case he should be ordered to tbo west coast.

I Sonntor Warren of Wyoming who H chair man of the cominlttoo on Irrigation Is somewhat - what Incensed over the statements attrib uted to Somttor Power of Montana , rotative to bis position on Irrigation problems. Son ntor Power has charged that Senators Curoy ar.d Warren uro anxious for thu segregation of nrld lands and their cession to thu stntes by the general government lu oitlor that tlio two Wyoming sonctors may increase their private holding of the pasturage properly. Senator Warren sulu this afternoon : "Nothing can bo further from thu truth than this statement. Senator Uaioy and myself are not exactly ngrcod upon tlio de tails of an irrigation bill. 1 do not know that ho willMiipport the muasuro which may finally como out of the coinm ttoo. So fur ns I myself am concerned 1 have no personal Intun'st to subsorvo , but am simply trying to voice thu wishes of an Immense aica of the United States ns expressed in the three great irrigation conventions hold at Denver , Salt Lake nnd Omaha. Not n PiHnlr Sclirnir. At each of these conventions tha delegates from Senator Power's state were entirely I n line with their associates nnd , 1 believe , represented the wishes of Sonutor Power's constituents. Thu charge Hint any railroader or DIM vale interests are Involved In the prop osllion to cede the arid lands to the states is absurd. It has not a era in of truth In It unit I cannot but think that Senator Power must have beun misrepresented by these who cave his allfuud statements to thii press. Whatever bill may bo reported from the irrigation committee 1 am confident will thoroughly guard the interests of the state us ugalnst nny private individuals or corpor ations. I notice that at least ono western paper lours that the seas and rivers heading in Wyoming will have the effect of cutting olT the water in Nebraska ootwceu Wyoming ami the mouth of the Platto. To this i cau only sny that the water rights of Wyoming went with its form of government to VVyom- Ing and nro now vested in ih.it stato. This cannot bo taxen from it by legislation , but at the same time Iho piusaijo of a proper Irriga tion hill , by preserving tha forests at the headwaters of Btroams and by providing fern n proper distribution of thu water , will un doubtedly increase rather than decrease the How of water passing out of the state to- waul the Missouri river. I don't think there need bo any fear on the part of the people of Nebraska that there will bo any docrcasu of tbu How of the Platte by recoil of irrigation legislation in our state. Norfolk unil ll.istliiKi Iliilldlnss. Both the ll.istings and Norfolk building bills were reached today In the .sonuto and passed that body. The progress of thoao bills throuuh the senate has been uncom monly rabid. They were each introduced at a smaller sum Hastings' at ?

Senator Paddock subsoijuontly , by amendment , increased the appropriation for H.istlngH to $ ir > rtK , ( ) ( ) , nnd it w.is reported In this form from the seiiuto committee on pub- lie buildings nnd grounds with Norfolk at $100,000 ns originally introduced. Scuntor Mandorson , when the JNorfolic bill caino up today In thu senate , had nn aiiionS- muni Increasing the amount to $ ' , VJ.OOO sub stituted for thu original bill , lie made n neat little speech in advocacy of thu substitution , riving some interesting claims of Norfolk's growth and progress , stating that It was the largest ell v outside of Omaha in the North Plattc country and with n .section SCO inllos in length tributary to Its Importance ns n commercial mutrouolis. Thu two Nebraska public buildings bills now go to the house , where Messrs.

The passage of the Hastings bill mnkcB tha fourth time that this muasuro has received favorable consideration at the hands of the senate ami has as often uftorwauls died in the house. iioth Senators Paddouk and Mnniiorson will co-oporato most heartily with the Nebraska delegation In the house in urging the pussngo of these bills In that body. \VIIHIIII ( Plrlu'ell tn.Intnl.
