PAIIIH , Nov. 8. [ Now York Herald
Cablo- Special to Tin : Hin. : | Today there
was inaugurated at the villa d'Auvray n
monument erected by 15,000 nalivos of
Alsaco-Lorralno to the memory of Gambotta.
The monument , represents the Great French
orator , bearing In his nrms the Kronen colors ,
nt the feet of Alsaoo nnd Lorraine. Never
has Uartholdi , tbo designer of the statue of
of Liberty In the harbor of Now York , done
better work.
M. Bartholdl tolls mo that many subscrip
tions came from Nnw York , Chicago and San
Francisco , nnd I nm happy to tell tun sub
scribers that their money has been well
used.
The monument is situated In the gar
den of the house where the great
orator died the house formerly occupied by
Balrac , the great novelist , doubly precious ,
therefore , to Frenchmen.
Gnmhottn'H Ifoart Hntombcd.
Before the Inauguration of the stntuo n
terribly moving ceremony took placo. In tbo
litllo vault at the foot of the monument the
heart of Gambotta was doposltcd.
After Oambetta's death Dr. Manand made
pn autopsy In the little badroom that today is
filled with HOWCM. M. Paul Bert received
nnmbotta's heart , and when ho wont to Ton
kin It was thought that the heart was lost.
This , however , was a mistake. M. Bert had
placed the ( mart In an Iron boc and loft it at
the house of his son-in-law , whence it was
brought to lay.
Every ono was much moved when the outer
coverings of the glass Jar were romovetl. It
contained a rod mass , floating In alcohol ,
llffjon contimotros , nearly six Inchoi deep ,
darker near the top than nt the bottom. It
was the ho' rt of Gambjlta , which once had
the honor of bolng the heart of Franco. It
excites sorrowful relloctions , when ono re
members that this grand and generous heart
no longer boats. The ceremony also was
very sorrowful. The sky was overcast. It
was cold , and there was the fog which has
boon so well pilntod by the groit artist
fjarot , another Inhabitant of .tho villa
U'Auvray. The house was empty except for
Old p lotographs on the walls and dried up
wreath } ot llowers.
< alined Profound Emotion.
Around the monument wcro friends nnd
admirers , men who do not forgot the past
while thinking of the future. It need nston-
Ibh no ono to bo told that a profound emotion
was foil among the throng ; of spectators.
The ooromony Itself was very simple ; no
eoldlori , no official pomp. Tno
wreaths bearing the titled "Alsaoo" und
"Lorrnluo" were greeted with great cnlbusl-i
, nsm. There were two addresses made , botli
very peaceable in tone , that of the minister
of instruction , M. Bourgeois , especially being
very moderate.
And now GamboUa has n monument nt the
spot Vthcro ho died. His memory will not
die out in Franco. While leaving I
heard it said In the crowd that
the two men who had in the last twenty
years enjoyed iho greatest popularity in
Franco died from pistol shots Gnmoolta nnd
JloulaiiKor but that was the only rosem-
blnnco between the two men each of whom
had held his country in his hands ono for
good nnd the otU"r for evil.
Setback Foi the Government.
The government has lust met with n
lorious check. In upitu of Its efforts , Iho so
cialistic candidate , M LaFnrguo was today
elected deputy from the department Du
Nord. M LnFnrguo Is now iu Jail for partici
pation in n riot. Tomorrow the radicals will
demand his release , which the government
Will refuse.
It Is announced that thocmperorof Austria-
Hungary will deliver a very peaceful dis
course to the Hungarian delegates , and it is
also stated that the nddrcss that the marquis
01 Hudlnl will deliver ill Milan , where ho
will show Italy's baud politically , wlll > lso
bo llllcd with pe.acoful sentiment.

Nov. 8. | By Mexican Cable to the Herald
Special to Tun Bin.J : Captain bchloy and
the other officers of the United States war
ship Baltimore are indignant at the yarn
about Its sinking , for there Is not the least
semblance of truth In the rumor. They
know that-it will have caused a great deal of
unnecessary anxiety among their families ,
friends and the people generally of the
United States. The utmost quietude prevails -
vails this morning In this city and In the
harbor where the Baltimore Is lying , as
peacefully as If she were In homo waters
and nothing had happened to disturb life
aboard ship.
Her stewards , for several days put , have
gene ashore to do necessary marketing under
the protection of a pollco guard furnished bv
Intcndonto Arlequl. The ofllcors will bo
granted leave by their captain to land
tonight. Although as n matter of fact , no
throats have been made nor any signs given
that violence would be1 attempted , should the
American ofllccrs appear again on Valpa
raiso's streets , Captain Schley , In order to bo
on the nafo side , and as an act of prudence ,
had stopped night leave until today.
In reply to a lottcr sent Captain Schloy ,
asking him to allow the victims of
the recent riot to appear before -
fore the court of inquiry and
tell Judge Fos'or what thov know of the out
rageous assault upon them , Captain Schloy
sent word that ho was willing to grunt them
permission to testify on curtain conditions.
The injured men would llrst have to bo on-
linily recovered In hcoltn and the ofllcors of
the Baltimore must bo permitted to bo pros
out at the inquiry while their men are giving
evidence. Captain Sob toy also agreed to
give the court ace y of the information about

Nov. 7. [ Bv Mexican Cable to the Herald
Special to Tin : Bnu. ] In the notice issued
last night by Intondcnto Carlos Lira to the
crowd of hot headed young Chilians at San
tiago who were unduly exciting themselves
about the alleged plot to assassinate Colonel
Canto , ho not only said there was no truth In
too stories published In someof the local
papois , but aduod that no arrests had been
inndo in connection with the af
fair. This , as I cabled you last
night , caused the crowd to disperse.
Intondonto Lira said that tbo charges so
-far made did nofnuthorizo a < JudlcIaMrirastt--
gallon , as they were too yoguo. Although
several persons had been denounced , ho
could find no reason to prosecute those
singled out for the nttaclr. Ho criticised
severely the papers responsible for the
charges.
The meeting of the young men on the
plaza at Santiago passed resolutions , as
cabled , and then appointed a coramlttea
to wait upon President-elect Jorge
Montt and ask him , in view
of the reported nttompt to kill Canto , the
fact that public opinion hold the refugees In
the United States legation culpable and also
the common belief that dictatorial sympathies
had not been stamped out in cortaln parts of
the country , to see that justice was meted out
to the Balmacodists who were protected by
the American minister.
Admiral Monti's Position.
Admiral Monti's reply was admirable. Ho
said that ho fully appreciated the conorous
and patriotic sentiments of the young men
of Santiago and of the people at largo , but at
the snmo time ho was Impelled to state that
the junta hsd had no further Information re
lating to the plot than that published in cor
taln papers. In its conduct of affairs , ho said ,
the junta bad to bo governed by the laws of
the country. It was ItS duty to' see that
these Imvs were faithfully administered. In
regard to the charge that the United States
legation sheltered refugees who were still
engaged in plotting mischief , ho know posi
tively that Minister Ugan had Indordlctod
the sending out of letters by refugees unless
the letters were .subjected to inspection. If
any such mcssago had loft tbo legation , Ad
miral Montt added , ho was sure that It was
without ttio knowlcdgn of Minister Egan ,
and that if the matter had neon brought before -
fore Mr. Egan , ho would have caused the
prompt expulsion of the offender from the
asylum.
Monti's remarks nro the strongest sort of
evidence that ho desires to protect the lega
tion and this belief Is strengthened by the
presence of n squadron of cavalry In the
vicinity of the legation during the time that
the meeting on the plaza was going on.

New Youi ; , Nov. 8. ; The Brooklyn navy
yard presented an appeal anco of activity wit
nessed for the first time sluco the exciting
times of the rebellion , today. The hum and
din of busy workmen on the war vessels
Mlantononmh nnd Atlantic disturbed. the
Sabbath stillness ns 'a body of100 blue
jackets marched across the yard to dlvlno
service. Workmen have been busily engaged
day nnd night for the past week in preparing
the two vessels for sp'eody service at sea.
Yesterday the work of preparation was
continued , It being , the llrst Sunday
since tlio late war that such a thing
has occurred. There wcro eighty men at
work on the two vessels' , and all expedition
will bo used until they nro ready for sorvlco
nt sen. The navy yard authorities denied
the rumored sinking of the United Stales
war vessel Baltimore nt Valparaiso. It was
said that the ofllccrs and crow of the Balti
more exorcise the same vtgllanco as In war
times , and the torpedo nets about the vessel
would save nor from sudden attack.
The unusual bustle and activity nt the
navy yard Is said not to bo duo to the re
ported sinking of the Baltimore , but It is con
ceded that the strained , relations botwcon
this country and Chill has given the govern
ment much anxiety to get all Its war vessels
ready for any possible pontliiBoncy.

have been sent for and 1,000 men will bo at

There are now six. wooden vessels at Mare

NANTICOKU , Pa. , Nov. 8. The usual qutot
Sunday of this mining vlliaco was disturbed
nbout 4:30 : this afternoon by the announce
ment that a terrible explosion of gas had oc
curred In JMo. 1 shaft of the Susquohnnna
Coal company , by which a nuinbor of men
had been killed nnd others terribly Injured
But n short tlmo elapsed bo fore the news
spread through the town and a largo crowd
gathered nt the scone , including relatives nnd
friends of the miners employed In the mine ,
nnd while they awaited news the scone was
harrowing In the extreme.
It was soon learned , however , that the fact
that this was Sunday , there were but four
teen men at work In the mine , of this num
ber six wcro Instantly killed nnd several
others so badly burned and injured that they
cannot survive , many fearing tboy were In

The accident was caused by the explosion
of a safety lamp , the llames of which ignited
the gas. The cxUtonco of this clement of
danger was not known , and the safety lamps ,
which are used successfully in the presence
of gas , were being used by the men during
the operatlor.s.
The mlno was ono of the best operated by
tha Susquobanna Coal company and It Is not
seriously damaged.
The scene about the mouth of the shaft
was heartrending. As soon ns the news of
tbo explosion was noised nbout town the
wives and children of the men who were im
prisoned gathered about the opening. Tno
wives wept frantically and the children
( Havod about unconscious of the fearful doom
their fathers hud mot.
A searching party was organized as soon ns
possible ; the bravo men went down to rescue
tholr follow workmen. 1'bev had slruirirlcd
with the dangerous after-damp , and after nl-
moat losing themselves in tbo cavern , groping
In the dark , came upon the bodies of tko vic
tims.

The force of thu explosion had dashed to
pieces several nnno cars standing on the
tracks. Some were beheaded and others dis
emboweled. It was a fearful spectacle. Tbo
remains were taken to the mouth of the shaft
and from there to tholr late homes In ambu
lances and on stretchers. After each ono

Considering that Douglas street between

busiest street In the city at night , the rob
bers were particularly daring. Cabmen and
mossougcr boys uro about all night
and are p.isslug every few minutes
from dark until dawn , but this fact ovldnnt-

posed to bo a thoroughbred gang of experts.
It was also reported to the pollco yesterday
that the basement ol _ the McCord & Brady
