Critical Condition of Thine * in the Southern Iteimbllo Not at All Prepared for Anything Like Positive Trouble. \ WASIIIXOTOX , D. C. , Sept. 23.-Special [ Telegram to THE BEE. ] War with Chili ! That was the subject discussed not only by Washington today , but the president , Secre tary Tracy , Special Counsel John W. Foster , Assistant Secretary of Stnto Wharton and Commodore IJamsey , chief of the bureau of navigation , Navy department. But the Unitcy States will have no war with Chili. That much is as good as settled. President Harrison has set Ills foot down upon the provocation for it , and the revolutionary gov ernment must right itself. The president was civen an opportunity to institute n vie- orous foreign policy mid ho immediately ac cepted tbo opportunity. The conference alluded to was occasioned by ono or two lengthy cablegrams from Min ister Egan , nt Santiago , stating in brief that nn armed force congregated about the head quarters of the legation and demanded him to give up a number of Balmaccda's followers who had taken refuge In his house and the legation head quarters and sought protection under the Hag of the United Stale ? . Surrounded by Police. That ho had demanded of the Chilian authorities the dlsporsomcnt of the force , and in its place u cordon of police hud been posted. The oflicers were Interfering with the Ingress and egress of those who bad business with the legation and for the present , not only was the oftlcial business at n standstill , but the neigh borhood of the legation had became a bed lam , the privileges of the representatives were restricted and the family privileges of the minister completely dismembered. All nppcnls of Minister Egan were drowned in tbo din of the Chilians for the blood of the refuges within the legations doors. Mr. Egan's cablegrams mndo a full report of the situation at present and briefly re viewed the condition of altars during the past few weeks. The communications from MinUter Euan were in cipher , they were pointed , however. IC.voncratcd V , IniHtcr I3jan. In the opinion of the officials who consid ered them they exonerated him from any blame which may nave been charged against him for acts done or loft undone. He asked for Instructions and the question uppermost before the president and bis counsellors was : "How far shall wo demand the rights of an asylum within our gates at Santiago ! " It took President Harrison but a few min utes to conclude that the Chilians had made of Minister Egan n prisoner In effect and thit also In violation of the most vital of American principles. The prcsldentsaul that tha right , of asylum for refugees In tunes of war ba > l nnver been questioned In America ; it was guaranteed in almost all countries , but it was not respected In the South American republics. If a similar con dition of affairs existed In the United States wo would beyond a doubt give protection to the refugees. Question of Protection. Would wo not guarantee to American citi- rcns abroad or others within our gates , as much protection ns wo would give foreigners In our country t Was not our legation head quarters In Santiago n bit of United States territory for tbo moment ( Especially it was the duty of our government to protect our own citizens In foreign lands at all hazards. There was loft , therefore , but ono thing for this government to do and that was to in struct Minister Egan to demand the release ot American cilucns who had been arrested and cast in prison on sus picion of being spies or sympathizers with the enemy of the junta. This instruction wns nt once cabled Minister Egan and every precaution taken posslblo to preserve tbo lives and liberties of the American citizens and those seeking protection within our doors at Santiago. Minister Egan had reported that many persons seen going out of the lega tion had been arrested for no particular ron- on , but were held as "suspects. " MiiNt Itelciisd All AniorlL-imn. These must alt be Instantly released. The environments thrown around the legation must be removed. There must bo freedom for all to como and go who would visit the United States legation. There must bo no catechism or detention of any ono within the precincts of the legation. As precautions , the president directed that thoSan Francisco , which weighed anchor at Calloa yes terday , bo recalled and ordered to proceed at once to Valparaiso for transports of her marines tp guard our citizens anil Interests there , also that the marines of our now man-of-wnr Baltimore , now nt Valparaiso , to proceed overland to Santiago and put themselves In harmonious action with these from tbo San Francisco. Communications wore also sent to the com mander of the white squadron to keep wltnln call of our diplomatic ami naval repre sentatives ut Santiago and be ready to put into the nearest port on n moment' * notice , ull ships at bli command. MarlucH Prepare lor Action. The marines of the Sao Francisco and Bultlmoro will form the cordon around our legation at Santiago m place of the Chilean police. American faces will bo seen ibero hereafter and gunr- untoo to our citizens their righu. The men- nclnt ; attitude of the now authorities will bo repressed. This all will bo communicated to the now president of Chill by Minister Egan tomorrow If It has not been told him already. Them U no fear of war with Chill. The rlchti which belong to the Amcrecan people and thu legation there will bo preserved In such n straightforward wny now that the junta will not cam to question tbo purposes. If this programme ihould to resisted there would of course be a clash of arms but It could not bo a war , for the new govornmentot Chill has not the re sources to make a contest with the United Stales which would rlso to the dignity of o war. .t tun so TU ir.iit'.i iioititoit.i. KxpnrlmcntH with Dynn- mlto Cannon In ICtiKland. LONDON , Sept. 2 . Within n few days ex periments are to tnko place in Wales with an American Invention known ns "Snyder's ' dynamite projectile. " Foreign governments are interested in the teats and several of them will bavo military and naval experts to watch the results. Some four or flvo years ago Mr. F. II. Snydcr of New York conducted a scries of trials ut Sandy Hook and on the Po tomac near Washington. After proving the possibility of firing dynamite shells from cannon with gunpowder , a company to ex ploit the Invention was started in Now York. Mr. Snyder came to England to exhibit his Invention. Willie the government seemed anxious to learn about the Invention , It threw many obstacles In the way of n trial. Snycler shipped his gun to Turkey , where successful trials took place at the Dardanelles. London capitalists then formed a company with : iW- 000 capital. Two yours ago grounds for testa were produced in South Wales , and a local license was obtained , but the commissioners forbade thu trial until special government license had been obtained. This was finally obtained and n short tlmo ago a private exhi bition was made by the shareholders. A sin gle shot wrecked strong steel armoured tar gets and pieces of iho sbccis were found a mlle and a half from the point of explosion. After the approaching trials are over Mr. Snyder will return to Americawhere furtbor experiments will bo made. It'I/.l. KKMUt'K Till ! I Franoe Will Kct Down the Pork Uars and Italy Will Follow. Puti * , Sept. 2 $ . When the chnmbnrs re sume legislative work next month , the efforts of Mr. Held , the American minister , to se cure the withdrawal of the pork prohibition , am certain to be crowned with success. The committee of the sennto will give Immediate attention to the bill passed by the chambers. In ofllcial circles the opinion prevails that the rescinding of the German pork prohibition was hastened by the vote of the French cham ber of deputies and that Germany , seeing that the French government had resolved to withdraw the prohibition , seized the chance afforded by the postponement of the French bill to get ahead in complying with the American demands. The Brazilian government has approached M. IJibot in regard to the projected prohibi tion tariff on coffees , fixed under M. Melines and approved by the chamber of deputies , at KM francs pcr'lOO kilos. Brazil takes an nually ! iWJO ( ; ( ( ) francs' worth of French products , and among the leading arguments tnat will bo used to induce the senate to modify the proposed tariff , is the danger of Brazil retaliating a result which would aid America's scheme to capture the Brazilian markets. KOMI : , Sept. S * . Newspapers hero dis credit the report that the United States will exclude Itaiiaji imports m reprisal for the prohibition on American pork imports. They express 1 bo belief that the prohibition will bo rescinded ns soon as France and other states rescind their prohibitory regulations. Stock I'Jxoliaiiire Settlement. LONDON , Sept 2S.

Another Chinaman who was about to enter tno plauo turned to look at ttio girl. There were about 1,10 Italians standing around iti the vicinity of No. 104 who saw the child come out.

Hastily opening the door no Jumped Inside and closed It again in tbo face of tbo mob. Detective John O'Kourko tff the Sixth precinct and Dutcctlvo Sergeant John O'Brion of the Central ofllco were standing on the corner of Mott street , and they saw the child , too. O'Brion walked up to her quickly and asked her what she had bccu doing in the basement store. Sbo was frightened und began to cry. O'Brien ' turned her over to a policeman to take to tbo station. Then ho turned his attention to the base- in en t. The mob that had gathered in front of the place had worked itself up to a frenzy of ex citement. Mad efforts were made to burst in tbo door , which had been barricaded within. The glass windows were shattered. The oflicers ran down Park street. They fought their way through the shouting crowd and at last reached the barricaded door. The officers are strong men and the door yielded to their shoulders. Then a wild cry went up. "Lynch the Chinamen , " shouted the mob. There were men there armed with stiovuls and spades and such other weapons as hap pened to bo at hand. They pressed hard upon O'Brien and O'Hourko when the doors gave way. O'Brien entered the place and O'Hourko followed. O'Brien turned In the doorway and faced tno yelling mob. "I'll kill the first man who comes in here , " ho shouted. He is a powerful man and his determined stand quelled the mob for a moment. The men fell back and Detective Joseph Schirmer of theSixth precinct pushed his way up to O'Brien and both men followed O'Kourke into the busouieut. Standing with his back to the roar cntrenco ho hold at buy fifteen Culnaracn who were endeavouring to oscapo. But they did not pass O'llourke ' not n man of them.

By this tlmo the report had spread umoncr the crowd outside that the child had occu as saulted by ono of the Chinamen. Again the cries of " them" went and "lynch up , ono man wbo.carrled a rope wltn a noose in the end throw it like u lasso at ono of the prisoners. The rope struck O'Kourke. The police then charged the mob , which was becoming dan gerous , and succeeded in holding it back un til tbo Cbinnmen werosafo within the station house. Detective O'Bnoii and another oftl- cer remained in charge of the basement. At the police station the prisoners were booked. Lee Yung is the proprietor. The llttlo girl says she Is Katie Sehuyler and that sno lived at" 125 Monroe street. At first she said she was passing 104 and a China- inan tapped on the window and beckoned her logo in. She went. "How long were you in there ! " asked Captain Brooks. "Only a second. I just looked In. Then 1 left again and the ofticer came. " When Captain Brooks put his hand on ICutia's pocket she began to cry. "There's nothing tbore sir , nothing at all. " "We'll ' see , " said the big captain. He pro duced a small package of opium. Katlo then told a different yarn.
