An additional charge of larcey will bo filed against the vagrant today. e wre English Capital for ¢ hicago. Cumicaco, July 5.—English capital has again nvaded Chicago, and this time to the extent of §4,500,000, and the property pur- chased is the Chicago old storage exchangoe company's bulldings aud plant and lease hold at Lake and Canal streets, Al the contem plated improvements are also included in tho sale. The plant will be at once completed to suit enlarged plans, and the projectors claim that whon fiuisbed the storage of all kinds of perishable watter will be com pletely revolutionized, W. W. Belolu of San Fran- cisco necotinted the sale. Mr. Beloin hus just returned from Loodon, where aftor five mouths of conferences, negotiations and correspondence with Euglish capitalists aud lawyers ho closed the deal, The pur- chaser i3 the London and Colonial corpora- tion (Umitea), aud the price is $4,500,000, gard to cheir arrival at Iquique some wi ago and the Itata's subsequent departure that port In convoy of the Charleston. for They | say that when the Itata stood into the harbor at Iquique her ofcers did not knew the vessel had already been to the United States and that a formal demand had beon made on the insurgents for tho sur- render of the vessel. Thoy stated that this demand was accompanied by the followiug message from the American flagship: “If you refuse and don’t give her up peacenbly I will seize every one of your ships and block- ade overy port on your coast.’ “The reply of the insurgents was simply an order for Captain Mausen to deliver the Itata, her cargo and cffects into the hants of tho United States autnorities, The captain of the Baltimore went aboard the Itata and presented an order to Captain Mausen _with the words, “In the name of the United States of America I confiscato this ship and her cargo.” ““Ihat's all right: that's all right,” replied Captain Mauscn, T am a German' subject; you can do nothing with_me; take the ship.' Tho commander of the Esmerelda, who had remained on board the Itata when the two vessels parted company off Acapuleo, could not bo fouud. He had accomplished his mis- sion, and quictly dropping over the side of the 'vessol he, in company with several brother officers, was soou on the shoro and safo from further pursuit. On taking possession of the vessel the United States ofticials and representatives of the Chilians went aboard and took stock of the cargo. Preparations were at once made to return, and Lieutenant Commander Todd and Ensign Churchill from the Charleston, took cnarge of the Itata. Tne Itata's engines were found to be in bad condition owing to the torrible strain put upon them, and En- gmeer Hollis of tho Charleston was seat aboard to superintend the neces- sary repairs. This consumed soveral days, but finally the hour of departure was set for Saturday evening, June 13, at 6 o'clock. At that hour the Charleston sig- nalled, ahead.” The Itata signallod in return that she was not ready. Again and again did the Charjestoa sigual for her prizo to put out to sea, but it was evident that the Chillians were averse to undoing the results of their long and tedious voyago. At 8:45 p. m. the Charleston again signalled. The reply came back that the Itata had not received her supply of water. This wus in tusn _signalled to the flagship and at 9 o'clock Admiral McCann signalled to the [tata “‘put to sea at once, water or no water,”” The Itata accordingly departed. The return voyage was devoid of incident. An Associnted press reporter visited the Charleston and from her officors learned that the feeling on tho part of the Chilian con- gressional party is extremely bittor towards the United States, to which they looked for sympathy, if not for assistance, at the least for mnon-interference, he Charleston also brings news that the insurgents have now about twenty thousand men in the field, while the government forces are not quite as numerous. Besides the insurgents have taken possession of almost the eutire country north of Valparaiso. The insurgents were recently attacked by Balmaceda’s forces in the town of Iquique. They fought their way into the very street. They attacked the cus- tom house, where there were a great many English goods and a number of Eng- lish and American residents had taken refuge, The commander of the British wurship Warspito appeared with detachment of marives. He informed both sides that foreign property would be pro- tected. If they did not stop fighting in_the streets ho would take a hand himself. Thoy retired to the country back of the city and continued the battle. The wsurgents finally we off victorious. 1t is reported that there is an_insurgent commauder on the Itata now on his way to Washington, but if such is the case he has kept his identity concealed. CALIFIKRNIA'S GR AT DESERT. Little New to Tell Regarding Situation Ther Los AxakLes, Cala., July 5.—Thera is little new to tell regarding the situation on tne desert. Theories are plentiful, as are rumors, but the facts are scarce. All that can by sald with certainty is that tho wator 1s still rising. The increasoin the volume of the water s porhaps not sosmall as supposed, for it should bé rememborod that the deeper portion of the basiu is filled and the water has to spread overa much greater area of lovel land. There are four possible solutions of the problem. 'The water either comes from the Colorado river, from the gulf, from the sur- face or by & subterranean chanuel. At first it was believed vy most of the well informed peovle avound here that it came from tho river, whence the provious overflows have come' several times “during tho past thirty years, but the st increasing voiume of the water in the face of the fall in the nver has caused a chango of opinion, and now, in spite of all the reports to the contrary which have been sent from Yuma and other places, it1s generally belicved that the flood must have its source in the gulf h tides, which might break down the slight varrier of sand which stands botween it and its old bed. Should this theory be correct it is evident that we are on the eve of witness- ing one of the most interesting geoghraphical changes which has taken place on this con- tinent. The increase in the areaof the gulfl could itsolf be small in_importance compared with the great modification in the climate which this inland sea would cause. Not the least remarkable feature of this phenomenal occurrence is the great difficulty of obtaining authentic information, The water is too shallow to navigate and too deep to ride or drive through, whilethe frightful heat makes it an act of great dangor to venture away from the water and shade. — ATTENPT SUICIDE, Three Children, Fearing Arrest, Take Paris Green, ‘matoaa, N.

Six | of these towns have always been peaceful, | bt Oraibe, containing ovor eight hundrod | inhabitants, has always boen unfriendly, owing to the work of fanatic medicine men Last winter they stubbornly refused to be counted by the ccnsus enumerators until suaded by the presence of a troop of cav Col. Corbin Suce Nav ilencing the ¥ Since then their chief has become friend and advised his people to follow Amorican ways, This made trouble with the fanatic section and they resortod to oven hostility, threatening the surveying party with vio- lence and ulso threatening the destruction of the government school and all Americans connected with it. This school is in_Kearns Canon, not far from villages. Tno Navajos, who hiad long been 1n tho habit of raiding the Mokis, were compelled some timo ago to withdraw from the vicinity of the school. This incensed them and they threatened mot only the Mokis but nlso Americans, A short timo ago, at the request of the [ndian agent, Cantain McClernand, with a troop of the Second cavalry, arrested | a Navajo buck who had resisted tho agent. This had a salutary effect, but still throngs of idle young bucks, all woll armed, contin- ucd to gather, and it was feared that some mishap might 'send them off on a wild foray any day. t week Licutenant Brett witha do- tachment of the Second cavalry went up to Oraibe viliage to learn the cause of the trouble tnere, On entering the narrow street they found Indians congrogated on the flat house tops, armed with rifies, and bows aund arrows, 'The war chief defiantly re- jected the offer of the party and threatoned to oven fire on the cavalry if they didu’t leave. Lieutenant Brett, finding he could do nothing, withdrew his troop and reported. In responss General McCook or- dored tho force of the Second and Tenth cav- alry to Holbrook, where Lieutenant Colonel Corbin assumed command. Vigorous action has been determined on and the command car- ries with it two three-inch Hotchkiss guns with which to reduce houses occupied by the Indians in case of tight. These houses are strongly built of stone, mostly three stories in height, with terraced fronts, and can only be entored by adaers leading to roofs. Thus each house constitutes a fortress. T'he troops. made a sharp march from Holbrook aud renched the village shortly after daybroak. Preparations had evidently’ been made for trouble, but on seeing a large force of troops, the hostiles surrendered at once. Sizht of the principaly were arrested and will be taken to Fort Wingate. Al refused to talk except one, who said they are pre- pared to fight, but had no conception that Americans could bring niore than thirty or forty soldiers against them, The presence of nearly 200 troops struck them with con- sternation. Colonel Corbin assembled the *villagers and after explaining the gravity of their misdeeds and severely udmonishing them, hegtold them to resume their ordinav occupations. Some of the Navajos were per- witted to accompany the troops and observe the subjection of Oraibe, it being deemed de- sivable to give them a lesson. g FOUND A SHULL. A Unique Discovery on Joe Jeffer- son's Summer Place. Buzzarp's Bay, Mass., July 5.—Joseph Jefferson, the actor, has made an astonishing find on the summer piace which he has pur- chased here noar that of President Clevo- land. In laying out the ground and making alterations it became necossary to remove a sand biil of large size. The workmen whilo doing this found the skcleton of a man that filled them with astonishment from its great sizo. When an attempt was made 10 1ift up the skeleton it crumbled away, all except the skull. A workman laid down' by the side of it, however, and it was estimated that it must have belonged to a man at least six feet and five or six inches i height. The most peculiar thing was brought to light, Eowover, when the skull was taken to Mr. Jefferson and by him examined. It was like ordinary skulls, ouly larger, excopt that it had, so far as could be seen, no place_where the eyes had beon. Thero was one hole in the center of the forehead that might have once served for one eye. This led Mr. Jefferson to believe that he hud, perhaps, discovered the skelcton of a cyclops. Mr. Booth, who was paying Mr. Jefferson a visit, said when ho saw the won- derful skull that e and his brother actor had a chance at hand to play “Hamlet” with a skull such as it had nover been played with before. All the scientific gentlemen in the neighborhood have been as unable to give an explanation of the skull as wero Mr. Jeffer- son and Mr. Booth. Mr. Jefferson wili no doubt be glad to receive suggestions from men of science that may throw light on the matte G Al Very Poor Marksmen, Pexsacora, Flu, July 5.—This morning avout 10 o'clock John O'Connor, editor of the Daily News, and B. C. Tumson, Unitod States commissioner, met in front of the Merchaats hotel. After a few minutes of aarnest conversation Tunison was seen to jump backwards and draw his pistol. He then commenced firing. O'Connor drew his pistol as quickly and roturned the fire. O'Connor's pistol, Lowever, failed to revolve and while ho was fixing it Tunison continued to fire oa bin, emptying his pistol. O'Connor’s pistol was now working and Tunison could_not face the music and fiea_into the hotel with O'Connor in hot pursuit and firing.
