Ho I«prov. mMi% Notwithstanding the Hope- fnl Expectations. R. G. Drx & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: The actual condition of business dons not improve, however liooeful the anticipations warranted. The interests "of property in many forms are for the time affected, and meanwhile the usual demand for money in April settlements has made markets rather close, though speedy relaxation is expected. Nearly all the interior money markets are •quiet and comparatively easy. Omuha and Cincinnati note a little closeness, and there te good demand at Chicago and Cleve­ land. The collections are quite gen­ erally slow and unsatisfactory, improve­ ment being noted hardly anywhere, but the state of roads Is usually recognized as a prominent cause. The failures for the flr.t quarter In 1891 have been 3.5J5 in num­ ber, against 3,223 last year, and the liabili­ ties $42.l(>?,tf31« against STT.s'SS.'.Wis in the United Stales, bur^nore than the entire In­ crease, both in number and liabilities, ap­ pears in the Southern States alone.- The Eastern and Middle States report fewer failures and smaller liabilities than last year, but the Western States report nearly as much increase.

Two Attempt* to Wreck Baltimore and Ohio Trains--Store Building Blown Co. THERE is considerable commotion among the railroad lines in West Vir­ ginia, and there are indications that the Italians are avenging their countrymen by the destruction of property. Two attempts to wreck the fast express on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad were •detected in time to prevent loss of life. A few minutes before the New York express passed a narrow cut near Graf­ ton a track-walker discovered several heavy pieces of iron wedged tightly be­ tween the rails. An hour later the Chi­ cago express barely escaped a disastrous wreck near the same point by & similar obstruction. A large depot and store building on the Baltimore and Ohio at Constitution was blown up with dyna­ mite, completely wrecking the buildings and causing a heavy loss. These crimes arc charged to the Italians in the neigh- , borhood where they happened. KANSAS CROP REPORT. Con- .< J?*!- sy f t., to"." Wiatsr Wheat Shows Almost a Perfect ditlon. THE Kansas crop report shows a win­ der wheat acreage of 2.033,000 acres, an excess over last year of 527,000 acres. The general condition of the plant as compared with perfect condition is 98.12 per cent The condition of rye, com­ pared with the average, is 100 per ceut. TJve stock is reported to b<! in excellent condition. The season is two weeks later than a year ago. and plowing has been retarded.

Forbes made a short speech on the scaffold, in which he said he was sorry for his crime and that he was ready to die. The town presented a holiday appearance, and all in-coming trains brought in great crowds of coun­ try people. The scaffold was boilt in the iailyard and in plain sight of the thousands of people who congregated in the adjacent squares. Many F'oeded.

The department is greatly surprised, because it was wholly unexpected $nd because the investigation into the New Orleans matter is not completed. Tho reason for the recall is "the King of Italy is dissatisfied with the progress of adjustment between the two countries in regard to the New Orleans massacre. " This action can be construed in no other way than open hostility on tho part of the Italian Government to the 1'nited States, with which it has heretofore been on friendly terms. CHAUNCEY M.

The indictment states that tho law distinctly forbids the use of stoves upon railway trains within the boundaries of New York State, and that the persons named above are therefore guilty of a misdemeanor. The announce­ ment of the Indictment did not cause much surprise, because the Coroner's jury held the Directors responsible for the fatalities of the collision of Feb. 20. The lowest pen­ alty for the offense for which the officials are indicted is a $1 fine and the highest 1500 fine and cue year's Imprisonment in the penitentiary. O'Malley App«an In Court. D. C. O'MALLEY, the New Orleans de­ tective, surrendered before the Criminal Court there. He was indicted for perjury, conspiracy to commit perjury and acces­ sory before the fact In an attempt to bribe a juror. He was accompanied by Lionel Adams, his attorney, and James Barry, a prominent local politician. O'Malley was released on $3,000 bond, which was signed by Barry.

UPPER SANDUSKY (Ohio) special: Elias Martin was arrested, brought here, and is now in jail under the charge of dynajniting the farm residence of JohirX Ankeny, his son-in-law. Martin's\wife deserted him a few months since] and took up her home with her daughter, Mrs. An­ keny. Since then Martin has continu­ ally threatened her life. The charge of dynamite was placed under her room, and blew the bed up to the ceiling, when it dropped through the floor to the cellar with Mrs. Martin, but not injuring her beyond a few bruises. Ankeny and his wife heard the noise of the explosion in time to escape, but not soon enough to catch the perp<|\rator. Martin denies the charge, but the officers claim they have sufficient circumstantial evidence against him to convict. AT Huron, S. D., melting snow almost caused a flood. The streets and low places were full of water, and the Jim River is rapidly rising. Lakes are to be seen in every direction. Telegraph com­ munication has not yet been resumed to Pierre. Nearly every pole between Woolsey and Wessington is down in the vicinity of Highinore. Poles are down and wires broken in scores of places, the result of the snow and sleet storm. D. W. WIILDER, State Insurance Com­ missioner of Kansas, revoked the license of the Capital Insurance Company (mu­ tual), on the ground that the company is insolvent He says that the liabilities of the company are $25,000; that $9,000 of this amount is in judgments against the company, in favor of policy-holders, and that the company has 011 hand oniy 8800 to meet its obligations. A NUMBER of colored boys, none over 12 years of age, took possession of a Pennsylvania Central engine at Jeffer- sonville, Ind., while it was standing in the yards, and ran it off the tracks across Cour* avenue, startling the whole neighborhood.

Va., Mining and Manufacturing Com­ pany, employed two Italians to work in the company's quarries with about forty Americans and Irish. Within an hour after the Italians went to work a com­ mittee from the other laborers informed Mr. Brooks that unless the two Italians were dismissed all the others would quit work. Mr. Brooks asked the reason for the objection and was told that the other workmen had decided that they would not work with men who were allied to a nation that was trying to bring about a war with the United States. Mr. Brooks refused to discharge the Italians and all the others threw down their tools and quit work. THE New Orleans Grand Jury has found three indictments in blank, two against Seligman and ilarsen for bribery and three against O'Malley for conspir­ acy to bribe. Seligman is in Cincinnati, Ofeio, Barsen is in New Orleans, and INDUSTRIAL, NOTES. 'THOUSANDS of strikers in tho Scott- dale (Pa.) coke region attacked the plants and destroyed considerable property. The sheriff of Westmoreland county asked the governor for arms, but the re­ quest was refused. Ix Philadelphia at a meeting of Ciay Assembly,,Knights, of labor, composed of about 700 brickmakers, it was decided that the men would not go to work at the opening of the brickmaklng season. The employers decided some time ago to work under tho schedule of 1889, which would lower the wages about 10 per cent. Tho employers have refused to treat with arbitration committees repre­ senting the workmen. The strike will involve about 3,000 men. THE Indianapolis tinners, having re­ fused to accept the agreement presented by tho bosses, were locked out About two hundred men were affected. FOREIGN GOSSIP. ADVICES from Hawaii say that the .missionary schooner Chapman was lost on the west coast of Tahiti. She was bound from Honolulu to tho Pitcairn Islands. The crew numbered sixteen, and they were all drowned. TIIE Italian Minister of Commerce, Sig.

DISPATCHES from Chili bring reports of several bloody battles between the Balmaceda Government and the insur­ gents. The latter have now gained con­ trol of all the northern provinces of the country, and have taken the cities of Iquique and Tarapaca after the most desperate fighting. Both towns were entirely destroyed, and thousands of women, children, and defenseless men were shot down by the successful sol­ diery. THE United States mints during March coined 8,226,322 pieces of money, valued at $7,118,170. The total of gold coin was $3,908,000, and of silver $3,107,520, the balance, and $573,380 being in nickels and cents. THE Northwestern Miller says: The mills got out about the same amount of flour the last week as the week before. The aggregate output was 130,125 bar­ rels daily--against 133,100 barrels the previous week, 137,450 barrels for the corresponding time in 1890, and 90,870 barrels in 1889.

TT*TF RECALLS HER MINISTER AT WASHINGTON. Ptlwni that TMi Itep'it Preliminary to » Declaration of War-X Government Officials Startled by This) Sudden AND Unexpected HOT* of tho P l*ower» at Rome. The Government of Italy has commit­ ted an exceedingly unfriendly act. Under certain conditions, the recall of ah ambassador would be equivalent to a declaration of war. But in the present instance it definitely appears that the Italian legation here is to be continued and left in control of a charge d'affaires. That indicates that Italy is not yet ready to sever diplomatic relations. The with­ drawal of Baron Fava, so far as the olii« cial declaration goes, is to be interpreted as meaning that "Italy is not satisfied with the progress of adjustments be­ tween the two countries touching tha New Orleans massacre." It may mean, also, that the Italian ..Government is not ~ satisfled wit a the conduct Of Baron Fava in general, as well as in this particular instance, and that advantage has been taken of the present situation to retire him from the post tj which he has so long been accredited, and to replace him with an ambassader who holds closer relations to the new Cabinet in Italy. It is not to be forgotten that the Italian Minister has been at Wash­ ington a long time, and that'his home political affiliations were in a great meas­ ure with a cabinet which has recently been displaced. But It is straining dip­ lomatic eticuette to go through the min­ atory process of withdrawing an ambas­ sador's .passports in order to secure a change in any mission. That is not tho modern diplomatic usage Whatever may have been the design of Italy, the action of Baron Fava, under instructions from his government, was a surprise to the administration, , as it will undoubtedly be to the civilized world. Italy has vent­ ured upon dangerous ground upon an as­ sumption. There is no official proof that any of the Italians who were killed in the New Orleans ja<l by the mob were subjects of the King of Italy. That claim Is only made as to three. As to the rest, it has been shown that they were registered as citizens of Louisiana, and had voted. If they had registered false­ ly they had committed a crime against the suffrage of the' United States as well as against the lives of some of its citizens. The question of citizen­ ship is still under investigation. The State Department has not concluded its official inquiry, of which fact the gov­ ernment of Italy has been well advisod. Yet, pending this inquiry, and in the absence of official information, the gov­ ernment of Italy appears to have as­ sumed that some of «ts subjects have been massacred, and that the govern­ ment of the United States is accountable for it. Accordingly the government of Italy has done that'which in like circum­ stances generally precedes a declaration of war. It has withdrawn its ambas­ sador. The information that Baron Fava had been recalled was at once communicated to the President by the Secretary of State. The President and Secretary Blaine ham £>een in conference. The President directed the Secretary of the Navy to order to tho North At­ lantic station all ships of the American navy in Eastern waters anywhere be­ tween the Gulf of Mexico and the Maine coast. The following is a list of the ships and their present station: Atlanta, Tamp:-, Fla.; Baltimore, left Montevideo March 22; Boston, Tampa; Chicago, Tampa; Dolphin, Tanma; Philadelphia, Port-au- Prince, Hayti: Vesuvius, New York; Yorktown, Tampa. These ships are all new ironciajds. Of the older vessels in Atlantic waters are these: Concord, New York; Cush- ing, Washington; Enterprise, Port-au- Prince; Essex, Montevideo; Jamestown, Port Royal; Lancaster, Portsmouth, N. H.; Kearsarge, cruising in West Indies; Minnesota, New York; Monongahela, Portsmouth, N. H ; Newark, Philadel­ phia; Petrel, Santiago de Cuba: Ports­ mouth, Barbadoes; Richmond, Newport; Saratoga, Kingston, Jamaica; Talla­ poosa, Buenos Ayres; at last accounts it had been condemned and ordered sold; Yantic, Port Royal. The United States Government, to satisfy Italy, is called upon to apologize in a formal manner for the New Orleans occurrences and indemnify the relatives of the sufferers, or to promise the exer­ tion of the Federal authority for the punishment of the leaders in the citizens' movement against the assassins. Another World'i Fair Project. THE annual conference of the Latter Day Saints will be held at Kirtland, Lake County, Ohio. Kirtland was the first home of the Mormon Church. One of the interesting items of business to te disposed of will be an offer of $100,000 for the temple by parties who desire to remove it to Chicago for exhibition at the World's Fair. Useful Hints. FOR friezes, nets have often been used with good eflect, draped in graceful folds along tho top of a room or stretched di­ rectly upon the wall. They are used very largely for transom decorations or svalances ovor windows or in alcoves. Ix^^ing paregoric one drop for every monthStf age foFa child under one year should f he the rule. As, for instance, a chiidr^fivb months old may take live drops, lk is scarcely necessary to say that .paregoric should never bo given a child unless it is absolutely needed, as in severe colic. A SLIGHT burn should be tied up im­ mediately in baking powder laid upon a wet cloth. This will usually prevent in­ flammation. But if tho wound does in­ flame and become sqre, bathe it with equal parts of raw linseed oil and lime water. After tho inflammation is out, heal with zinc salve, which can be pro­ cured from the druggist A VERY pale color in meat is a sign that the animal was poor in blood, and that the meat is wanting in nutritive qualities; the cause of tho bloodlessness may even have been some serious dis­ ease. A deep reddish purple color shows that the animal has not been killed, but that it died a natural death. A marble­ like appearance, produced by layers of fat Interposed between the fleshy fibers, is possessed by none but good meat. A TASTEFUL drapery for a square waste-paper basket consists of two fes­ toons of plush or satin; peacock blue is a good choice, alternating with two deep crocheted points of beige color or pale- blue macrame cord in wheels, or any other pretty designs, and finished with heavy tassels of the cord. Rosettes and cords, both crotclieted, finish the top and sides, and pompons of gathered plush may also be introduced if desired. « RATHER HARD 0# FAVA Selected Mt*crllany.

A .Question of Veracity That Need* a Little Ezplanatien -- The Italian Government Still Has ReprenentatlveA In Washington 1 -- Subntanee of the Correspondence. ' Secretary Blaine has furnished to the press the substance of the correspon­ dence with tho representatives of the King of Italy. The correspondence con­ sists of two letters--one from Baron Fava to the Secretary of State; the sec­ ond the reply of the Secretary of Sate, which is addressed to the Secretrry of Legation. Tho statements of Secretary Blaine, If they are sustained, place the Italian Minister in a very awkward posi­ tion. The letter of Baron Fava is very curt and peremptory, and betrays to a con­ siderable degree an ignorance of the in­ stitutions of this country or a willing­ ness to ignore the existing conditions. Two demands are made, both very per­ emptory in character. They are:" That the Uni^d. Stjiigg shall gijajantee to Italy a speedy trial ancTconviction of the alleged murderers; that the United States shall recognize the principle of the right of Italy to indemnity for thp killing of the Italian subjects. ?The Italian Minister cjafmsmat four oflKo killed ItaTTans'wcre subjegts oF the Kjnjf of Italy. Baron Fava states that the United States refuses to act upon either of these demands, in consequence of which and because his efforts had proved inefficacious, he should leave tho United States, as soon as possible, leaving the i BARON FAVA. eurrent business in chargo of the Secre­ tary of Legation. Secretary Blaine's reply is much more courteous, but not less determined. Mr. Blaine is civil enough to state that Baron Fava\s relations with the Stato Depart­ ment for ten years have been marked by courtesy. But Baron Fava forgot his diplomatic manners. Ills letter read as if"it were written in a huff and intended to be uncivil. Mr. Blaine directly charges Baron Fava with misrepresenta­ tion in two impoitant particulars. In the first instance, in stating the demands of the government of Italy ho has chang­ ed the phraseology of the demand of the I^ing as it was reported to the Secretary of State from the cable message by Fava himself. The King of Italy, according to the cable left with the Secretary of State, insisted on the right of Italy to demand and obtain punishment of the murderers and the indemnity of the vic­ tims as unquestionable. Baron Fava makes the naked demand without quali­ fication or assignment of reason. More­ over, the Secretary of State shows that it would be impossible for the United States, or for any government, to accede to the first demand as to the punishment of the alleged murderers in advance of a trial and a verdict of guilty. Thereupon the Secretary of State gives the Secretary of Legation a lesson in the constitutional law of the United States and of the con­ stitution of Louisiana. Mr. Blaine very curtly says he is unable to see how any Government can give a guarantee that persons accused of crime shall be pun­ ished in advance of a jury trial and a verdict of guilty. The right of trial by jury is granted to the accused both by the Constitution of the United States and by that of the State of Louisiana, and in nearly the same terms. As to the statement of Baron Fava that the United States has declined to entertain the sec­ ond demand as to indemnity, Mr. Blaine flatly charges Baron Fava with misrep­ resentation and raises a question of veracity. Mr. Blaine pertinently adds that he shall regret if Baron Fava has communicated such a conclusion to< the Government of Italy. Mr. Blaine asserts the contrary to be the fact, and says that the United States so far from refusing, has distinctly recognized the principle of indemnity to thos6N Italian subjects who may have been wrodged by the violation of the treaty of Feb. 2, 1871. Mr. Blaine took occasion to say, however, that the United States has re­ fused to permit herself to be unduly hurried aud that while impatience may be natural it does not always secure sub­ stantial justice. Tho letter to the Secretary of the Italian Legation is of a character which will force the Government of Italy to as­ certain from its recent. Minister here whether he will rest tinder tho charge of mendacity madt^against him by the Secretary of St The fact tlrkt Secretary Blaine ad- dessed his last letter to tho Marquis Im­ perially Chafgej d'Affaires, demonstrates that the Government does not regard the rupture ol' jffifplomatic relations caused by Baron Fava's recall as comp'ete. Otherwise the communication would have been addressed to the Italian Gov­ ernment direct, or through the medium of Minister Porter at Rome How the matter is viewed by the Italian Govern­ ment will bo disclosed by the reply that is made to the Secretary's letter. If the Charge d'Affaires replies as such it will be an acknowledgment that the Italian Government 1s still represented in the United States by its legation. But if ho announces that he is without authority to reply, it may be taken as an evidence that direct diplomatic relations between the two countries is at an end. RIOTING BY STRIKERS. PLANTS IN THE SCOTTDALE COKE REQION RAIDED. A Bomb Exploded Hear the Lalirnriaf Works, Tearing Oat the Front of a Worfc- maB's House--Armed Deputies Make Jlo Resistance to the Maddened Mob and Are Driven from Their Posts. A Pittsburg dispatch says: The most eventful day in the coke strike was fa­ vorable to the men. The labor leaders say no preconcerted attack was made, but in view of the fact that three of the principal works in the region were raid­ ed, and that in the morning the opera­ tors had decided to resume all plants, the talk of accidental raids does not go very far. At two o'clock in the morn­ ing the strains of a band woke all strik­ ers on the road from Scottdale to Brad­ ford, and in a short time 1,500 men followed the musicians' path, which was directed to the Jimtown plant of the H. C. Frick Company. This place was reached at 5 a. m. when the works were captuted without a struggle, except the incidental disarm­ ing of Superintendent Rosser, whose re­ volver was flourished in vain. A few vtgrkers were struck with stones, but the direction of the Leisenring works gave a warning of trouble there and thousands grathered to Witness the work of the first bomb exploded by the strikers. The shock was felt for several miles, but its only visible effect was the tearing of a great hole .in the front of a non-union worker's house and the throwing up$<of considerable dirt in the vicinity. It is feared that such work is not over with, however, as the effect upon the unruly but thoroughly organized Hungarians was ominous. After this the workmen at Leisenring Nos. 2 and 3 were chased out of the yards and a few ouly returned when the excited crowd had departed. Tho few men at the Leith works were also driven out, though nobody is re­ ported badly injured. Trouble is also talked of at the Trotter plant, but this is denied by the operators. The big Morewood plant of the Frick Company also contributed more than its quota to the exciting ervents of the day. This plant has been in partial operation, and has been carefully guarded by deputies. Some 3,000 strikers gathered about the place, however, and swept the armed deputies aside as if they had been chaff. Not a blow was struck, not a shot fired, as such a move would have been fatal to both guards and workers in the face of the 3,000 determined strikers. After the abandonment of the works by the guard an hour of wrecking fol­ lowed. Tracks, doors, and in fact ev­ erything movable were torn and wrench­ ed aside by tho maddened crowd, who only left after the plant had been mutl- latod beyond immediate repair. The central board of the federation meets in Pittsburgh, when the strike will bo brought up up for indorsement. At Union-town Judge Ewing granted a preliminary injunction against all men assembling at the Frick works not em­ ployed by that company. Sheriff JMcCormick, with a number of armed deputies, left Uniontown on a special train to arrest tho leaders in the several raids. Probably the ugliest feature of tho several raids was tho number of women participating, the most seriously injured man being Pit- Boss Cooper, who was struck again and again with an iron bar in the hands of an infuriated woman. Secrct meetings were held by the strikers, who will cer­ tainly prevent the intended resumption. There has been much telegraphic cor­ respondence between Gov. Pattison and Sheriff Clawson of Westmoreland County regarding the strike of tljo cokeworkers and the attack upon the works of Erick & Co. of Morehead, The Sheriff asked permission to use the arms of two com­ panies of the national guard to prseect property, but Gov. Pattison responded that "the civil power to maintain the peace must be exhausted and powerless before the military power can be in­ voked." To this Sheriff Clawson re­ plied that he did not want the troops, but only their arms. Gov. Pattison, however, in another dispatch declined to issue the desired order. Pension Report.

Blood Flows In Torrents--Tqnfque mad Tarapaca fractteaUy Destroyed *nd - Most of the Inhabitants Slaughtered. A special from Santiago says: Durtyig the last ten days President Balmaceda'* Government has suffered most terrible / blows. The insurrectionists arc gaining ground every day, and the fact seems to be very generally known, despite the vigorous efforts bf the War Department to suppress all news of a nature likely to increase enthusiasm among the friends of thcvrevolu/ionists or to dampen the ardor ^^JBaflmaceda's followers. The revolutionists have now complete con­ trol of the northern provinces--a great source of strength to them and a great Injury to the Government. The first battle of last week wa» fought on the paunpa of Dolores. Th© government forces uumbered 3,000 and the revolutionists had 5,000 men. The revolutionists were defeated, but it ia impossible to get any details of the en­ gagement. A large number of soldier» have been gent into the northern prov­ inces to drive out tho revolutionists. At Talcahuano and at Concepcion the gov­ ernment has 5.000 soldiers. Thftse troops were "To make a descent t>n the northern provinces, but the plans of the officers have been changed fomeyvhat by the desertion of tho First Regiment of Infantry, which has to a man gone over to tho revolutionists. Blood flowed in torrents at IquiqiMJ* and Tarapaca. The revolutionists began a second bombardment of Iquique. The attack was so sudden that the people had no time to prepare for the murder­ ous fire which was opened on the town. While tho Government forces wore well trained their work did little good, as all their efforts were more than offset fey the concerted action of the land and naval forces of the revolutionists. The encampments of Government forces were completely destroyed. In tho city al­ most every house which was left stand­ ing after the first bombardment several weeks ago was destroyed utterly. Late in the afternoon a pitched battle oc­ curred between tho land forces* in which some two hundred were killed. When night drew, on hostilities were suspended, but on the following day the fighting was resumed with greater vigor than ever. Three pitched battles were fought during the day. Late in the afternoon the fighting ceased, for there were few government soldiers left who were able to fight. Colonel Iiobles escaped with the fragments of his army to the mountains, pursued by the rebels. The government forces wore terribly beaten and at night there was left in Iquique a mass of ruins and piles of dead bodies. The town was totally destroyed and fully twelve hundred people were killed. Just before the bom­ bardment began the consuls of all gov­ ernments represented at Iquique pro­ tested against the brutality of the revo­ lutionists in commencing a bombardment without giving at least the women and children an opportunity of escaping to a place of safety. But by far the bloodiest and most mer­ ciless battle occurred at Tarapaca. The revolutionists attacked the city and the government forces by sea and by land. The firing began early In the morning and continued for several hours, destroy­ ing 200 people. When the tiring began the inhabitants made a wild rush for tho heights back of the town, but they were stopped by the relentless fire from the land forces. Balmaccda's troops fought like tigers and wero met by the rebels with equal ferocity. The scenes were frightful. Men fought hand-to-hand conflicts by themselves. They pur­ sued the defenseless ones into tho houses, where many were brutally cut down on both sides. Con­ secrated ground was not exempt from the ravages of the rebels, for some se­ vere fighting occurred in tho churche#, where hundreds of women aud children wero praying for the safety of their hus­ bands and brothers. Soon after the bom­ bardment began several largo buildings were discovered to be on firo. Hundreds of people who had taken refugo in their homes were driven from them by the flames, only to be shot down when they sought new places of refuge. The cries and heartrending scenes between moth­ ers and their children seemed to have no effect on the soldiers except to stim­ ulate them to new outrages, to more devilish actions. The sight of young mothers trying to protect their little ones added to their thirst for blood. It is said that personal rancor entered largely into the battle. Many old feuds were settled forever at the bombardment of Tarapaca. The town is a total wreck. Every prominent building has been lev­ eled to the ground. The number of dead and wounded cannot, of course, be ac­ curately calculated, but it greatly ex­ ceeds 2,000. Many bodies aro being taken from burning buildings, and it is believed that many women and children perished in the llames. At Gana another battle has been fought. Colonel lluarez, the commander of the government troops, was badly wounded and his troops defeated. Ab^ut two hundred and fifty were killed in this battle. The last has not been hoard from Iquique by any means. The English Consul there says that he proposes to have something to say about the whole­ sale destruction of property owned by British subjects. He says that inasmuch as President Balmaceda refuses to recog­ nize the revolutionists as belligerents, but persists in treating them one and all as rebels and traitors, he thereby makes his government responsible for all damage done to the property of British subjects. The consul has made a formal demand for a full reparation, and he says that he will press the claim at once. Valparaiso is now completely fortified, and the harbor is patrolled by several powerful torpedo boats. The forts are supplied with Armstrong guns of the latest pattern, and every approach to the city is commanded by a raking cross fire. The government is determined to save Valparaiso, but the heavy, well- equipped navy of tho revolutionists will likely visit the harbor soon, and then there will probably occur a conlllct of no< mean degree.
