News of an attack in the streets of Valparaiso on the 15th of last month by a Chilean mob upon Prince Louis of Savoy, nep hew of King Humbert of Italy, and a party of officers a.id some of the crew of the Italian warship Cbristoforo Colum bo, all the farts of which were sup pressed by the government, was re ceived here by the steamer City of Para, tays the Bulletin Sunday evening. The Christofor Columbo sailed from an Francieco for South America via Hono lulu some time in February. The object of her visit to Chili was to assure that country that Italy had none but the best of feeling for the southern republic, as much bitterness of feeling has ex isted in Chile since Italy sold the Ar gentine Republic two cruisers. The eale was consummated at a very shaky crisis, for Argentine and Chili were on the verge of war over the boundary question. The Chrisloforo Columbo fulfilled her mission. The "squaring" was well ac c -pted by the better class, but among the rabble the aoolony was not accepted. Hence the trouble. A party from the Chrisloforo Columbo landed at the Val paraiso pier and proceeded up town. The prince ami sever .1 lieutenants were in the lead. A number of Italian pall ors were immediately behind the offi cers. A crowd of Chileans followed the man-of-war's men, occasionally jeering the sailors. As the party advanced the crowd grew larger and bolder. Sudden ly stone commence I to fly and for Mfety'i sakethe'pr no was hurried ino store out of harm's way. Tne able seamen did not fare so well. Several were struck with stones and some knocked down with clubs. They fought back, pulled their knives which they luckily had with them, and held the mob at bay until a body of police came charging down the street. The mob soon scattered. A numlier of ar rents wt-re made. 'I he Chilean authorises lost no time in hurrying an apology to Prince Louis. Every reparation was promised. The Colombo's crew was not used up very badly, andjas there were commercial ad vantages to be obtained for their 10 in trymen, the Italians agreed to accept j the ap ilogies.

Han Difgo Wants the Terminus. San Diboo, Cal., Aug. 22. News was recived yesterday from S. Tomioka, who was in San Diego a few weeks ago, as private secretary to President Asano of ihe Toyo Kisen Kaisha Steamship com pany of Japan, and has been in the City of Mexico for a week securing informa tion as to the ruining of steamers along the Mexican coast as far south as San Benito Toinioba waa supposed to have gone to Chicago with Asano, who is now in New York, but went directly to Mexi co. He was empowered by Aseno to enter into negotiations with the govern ment for the establishment of a steam ship line to touch at all the principal porn. Tomioka interviewed Sir Whet man Pierson, lessee of the Tehauan tepee railway, and is belived to have reached some agreement with that road for handling through freight. The Jap anese minister of commerce, Viscount Enomoto, has signified a desire to es iablish connection with the Tehiuaute pec road, and a suggestion from him is equivalent to an order, as he controls the government subsidies to steamship Com panies. The significance of this move on the part of the toyo Kisen Kaisha is import ant to San Diego and tends to corrobor ate the assertion that the steamers will make San Diego their terminus. If the steamship company enters into a com pact with the Tehauantepec railway its nearest and most direct Americin con nection will be San Diego. One of the Burglars Wounded, New York, Aug 22.
