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.

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. The settlement of the
Stock cxchnngo which opened toJny showed
an immense account in American railway
securities. Money was in largo request ana
American securities ranged from -I to 5 per
cent. In other departments rates were
easier though generally ruling at one-half of
1 per cent over those of the last account.
A steady current of buying of railroad securi
ties made prices firm until tha afternoon
when some New Yorkscllineorders produced
a slight reaction. Street business was flat.
Bankers at first charged 2 ? , ' per cent for
fortnightly Stock exchange loans and later
under Increased demands they charged 3 per
cent.

W.VMiiNnToN , D. C. , Sept. 2S. The com
missioner of Indian nftalrs bus received a
copy nf n recent decision b3' Judge Green of
the district court of the territory of Okla
homa directing the restoration to bis parents
of au Indian boy placed in the government
Indian school at Chllloco by the Indian ofllco
ofllcials. The father of the boy becan habeas
corpus proceeding to secure possession of
his son. wlio , under an act passed at llio last
session of congress bad been compelled to at
tend school , .ludgo Green held that as the
Indian oftlce had not issued as icquircd by
tlo act , rules and regulations to compel at
tendance of Indian children at schools pro
vided for them , the retention of the boy con
trary to the will of his parents was Illegal.
Tho'effect of this decision Is regarded by the
commissioner of Indian affairs ns likely to
prove prejudicial to ttio schools , and It Is the
Intention to carry the case to n higher court.
The jndtre , in his opinion , took thu ground that
the right of a parent to thu custody of his
children belonged to the Indian as well as to
the white man.

ubout 4 o'clock , She were no bnt. Her black
hair was neatly combed away from bor fore
head and tied behind her head with u red
silk ribbon.
A short , fat Chinaman stood outside tbo
door. Ho smllod at the child. 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. Every man , acting on a
common Impuso , ruslied upon the Chinaman
who stood like a ouard nt the door. Ho
realized his dauber. 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. There was n double-quick tramp
hoard up the street. It was squad from the
Elizabeth street station. They , too , were
obliged to Debt their way through the crowd
that was again raovlrtgll < upon the basement
store. They took tiftcenChinamen ; out of.tho
back door.
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. She said that a Mrs.
Campbell , who lives at Monroe and Johnston
streets , had sent her to Lee Yung's place to
buy 10 cents worth of opium.
Katlo was detained and Detectives
Scbrimer and O'Kourke returned to tno
