THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1896. CHLEM BLOOD AT BOILIAG HERT Balmacedists Determined to Overthrow President Errazuriz.: 0 ficers of the-‘British_ 'Cn'liser Wild Swan -Say Fighting is Ingvitable. . Tin Nation. is Eager. for War, -Whether Internal Strife or " - Against’ Foreigners. . BAN DIEGO, Car., Nov..28.—The Brit- ish.croiser Wild Swan, which-arrived yes- terday from South America, brings news of the situation in Chile, whick has as- sumed the gravity of a threatened revolus tign, if not actual resort fo srms. The ‘Wild Swan was at both Coquimbo and Iquigue during the troublesome times be- fore and ‘after September 18, which is the Chilean Independence day and also the day. of the National efections. There was great excitement throushour Chile during - the campaign. The followers of Baime- “ ceda, supposed to be a remnant of envious political malcontents, made sucii a pow- erful showing b fore election that serious trouble was teared, especial'y at Iquique, and the Wild Swan was ordered to that port from Coquimbo to protect British in- terests in case of an outbreak. It was at lquique that the officers of the cruiser be- heid scenes bordering on anarchy. “A couple of us was in a restaurant,” said an officer to-day, ““when an altercation occurred between a Balmacedist and a fol- lower of Errazuriz. The Balmacedist— ‘Colonel Andres Escandon—slapped the Errazurist in the face, and 1t was with great difficulty that their frieads pre- wented bloodshed on the spot. Subse- quently there was a duel, and the friends of each principal discussed the subject until some inkling of the trath came out. Then it was learned that the Balmace- dists, through a pretended coalition with the opposite party, being in reality a fu- - sion -of Liberals and Conservatives, were giving their consent tothe election of . Errazuriz with'the intention of gaining time for a conspiracy then forming to overturn tne Government. “Through this fusion the enemies of Errazuriz secured the promise of several places in the Cabinet, These men were to foment dissension among the support- ers of Errazuriz, and on the overturning of the Cavinet to take advantage of the crisis to start a revolution. We heard these - rumdrs both at Coquimbo and Iquique, but thougnt there was nothing specially important in them, as there is always a lot of that talk flitting about in Spanish-American -countries. ‘“We!ll, Errazuriz waselected on Septem- _-ber 18, but the majority was the smallest ‘ever. given to any Chilean President, Public ferling was a} fever heat. When we returned to Cogquimbo we found great - disceritent among certain classes and rey- " olution‘talk was quite open, People were dissatis with thé Cabinet chosen by the President, and be did not seem to get along with it himself. The report of the Finance Minister showed a deficit of &hout $8,000,000 for . and this added to the" trouble. Chile has been spending muth money on her, navy. Duriny 1895 - .she spent. 15,000,000 pesos, and the appro- prigtions for 189 were still larger. The people ohjecteq to the heavy drafts upon theni. 3 ‘““As early as October 20 we heard au- mors that the new Cabinet would have to step down. These rumors multiplied, with hints ot someihing more serious coming, and 1 am not surprised to hear of ‘.a revolution breaking out. It comes a month or so sooner than we expected, howe ‘When we left South America - “the President had trouble with his Minis- “ter of the Interior regarding the appoint- ment of Governors for certain districts, and tbe’Minister, who was d to be a secret-friend of-the revolutio: , made a good deal of trouble. Oné or two other ‘members of the Cabinet threatened to re- sign if Errazuriz pressed the matter., “But it was on the financial question fhat the Cabinet and President split. The Cabinet assumed a dic:atorial tone, and this drove many Liberal members of the * Chamber of Deputies over to the Presi- sent. The result was the certain down- © fall of the Ministry when Congress met on Noventber 2. We were at Guaysquil then and did not bear of the ouicome. We heard that President Errazuriz had sent for Barros Luco, a leading Liberal * politician, to form a new Cabinet in case’'the present one was broken. Luco accepted the invitation -and . .1 bave no doubt the new Cabinet is of his making, but the Balmacedists, assisted by those members of the Cabinet who are aggrieved at the President, sre at the bot- . tom of.the trouble in Chile and there is . every indication that it will be serious, - _"“The nation has reached a point where it¢ people believe themselves the most owerful in the New World, not except- ing the United States. They are spoiling - fora fight and if they cannot get it from sbroad they are liable to fight among -” themselves.” OPPOSES TWO CLAIMS. - Doii M. Dickenson Argues Before the Bering Sea Commission at Victoria * . VICTORIA, B. C,, Nov. 28.—At the sit- 5 z of the Bering Sea elaims commission to-day the codns 1 for the United States moved to strike out two of the claims filed ¥ the Buitisn side. One'of'these was that on behalf of the schponer Blagk Diamond for $7500 for loss arising from her being ordered out of the Bering'Sea in 18%6. The other was the pérsonal“claim of Captain James Gaudin for $3000 in connection with the seizure of the schooner Aida. " Mr. Dickinson said, in making his - motion to strike out the 1886 claim of the * Bliick..Diamond, that on the question _ raised might depend ‘a precedent which might come before the commission in arious forms, and if tbe United States .- Was correct in its contention the ciaims did'riot come within the terms of the con- - vention which had resulted in the torma- tion of the present commission. . 1t would be noticed thattwo clafins had been filed on beba.f of the Black Diaraond. One was for $2500, by rehson of the « schooner leaving Bering Sea in 1886 as the result of a verbal order of the United States Collector of Customs at Ouna.aska. . The second was for $23,000, by reason of ] ;lgsegulzun of the schooner by the Rush in The “case of the Black Diamond, as far as the claim of 1886 was concerned, was not, he said, in the list of claims’that came before tne Paris tribunal, and in the summary of claims referred 10 in article 1 of the convention only the 1859 case of - that schooner was mentioned. . Dikinson maintained that unless the claims were in the schecule referied to in articie 1 of the convention they could nov be cousidered by the commission. 1t nceded no argumen to ~how that the case o! the schooner in 1886 was indepen- dent of the claim for 1889; but aside from that, the conveniion had taken extra pains to say just what should come before the commission. By the terms of the convention, he argued, only those claims submitted to the Paris tribunal were to be dealt with by the commission, with the exception of additional claims of vessels, in which list the Black Diamond @!AI not appear: therefore her claim for 1886 could not be considered. ¥ & 2 Mr. Peters for the British side said his understanding of Dickinson’s argument was that the objection taken to the claim of the Black Diamond for 1886 was that the vessel’s name did not appear twice on the list of claims and that, therefore, the date was the material point to be consid- ered. The British side, on the contrary, main- tained that the date was merely stated in the schedule for information and con- venience, and was not a vital point. The claim of the Black Diamond was really an extra to the other claim of the same schooner, and was so mentioned by Sir Julian Pauncefote in his correspondence with Gresham in 1894. This letter from the British Embassador distinctly showed that it was contem- Iated to include the 1886 claim of the lack Diamond among those to be dealt with, and furthermore, there never was any objection raised by the United States, as far “as correspoundence weat, to the in- cluding of that claim. Dickenson and Beique continned the ar- gument at some length, and the decision of the commission was reserved. e LOS ANGELES INVENTION. Filiibuster Mu k3y Claims to Have Per- fected a Contrivance That Will Blow Up Fleets. LOS ANGELES, CaL, Nov. 28.—J. K. Mulkey of this city is liable to wake up to- morrow morning and find that he has accumulated more fame than he can handily take care of with safety to his daring plans. With the special admonition not to di- vulge bis name he has made public a fili- bustering scheme which, if carried out, would play an unheard-of part in naval warfare and astonish the civilized world. Mulkey, it is claimed, has invented a naval destroyer capable of annihilating every gunboat fleet of any power on earth on short notice. Mulkey’s soul goes out to the oppressed Cubans, and in Cuban waters he proposes to employ his anniki- lation first, In an attempt to end the island war. “I bave figured the problem so closely,” says the inventor, ‘‘that within turee hours after sighting an ememy she will surrender or be blown out of the water. Escape is impossible. The size of the attacked ship and the caliber of her guns cut no figute, “‘And further, my ships are ready—one in England and one in France—and I ex- pect to leave within the next ten days to take personal command of this little fleet that will put an end to the war within thirty days after we enter Caban waters. I am in direct communication with Maceo’s army, and received word from his chief of artiliery to-day.” The alleged invention is some sort of a torpedo, the precise nature of which the inventor does not announce. “I could sell my secret to any of the great naval powers of Europe and become a millionaire at once,” said Mulkey, “but I prefer to liberate Cuba, which will be rendering a real service to humanity and will at the same time insure my future welfare financially and otherwise. “I at first 1ntended to give the United States the benefit of my invention, but the policy of the Government iz makine pub- lic all war inventions determined me to keep my secret. Iwroteto Secretary Her- bert recently about the folly of this Gov- ernment expending any more millions for butile-ships, when none were proof against such inventions as mine, but I supposc 1he Government will go right on building ships until I give a practical demonsira- tion of what I can do by blowing up a few &panish men-of-war.” It is said that this is not the filibuster- ing scheme which has been hatc ed in the fertile brain of Mr. Mulkey. He is said to have originated the late 1roposed filibus- tering exp. dition to the Hawaiian Islands. e Tidiomd LOS8 ANGELES' FURGER, L. J. Laird Will Be Brought to the City to Stand Trial. LOS ANGELES, CAL. Nov. 28.—De- tective Steele will leave to-morrow for San Francisco to bring back L. J. Laird Jr. to be tried for forgery. About five months ago Laird wenttoa local firm of grocers, passed a forged check for $25 and left for San Francisco. Some time aiter this detectives learned his whereabouts and sent a description to Captain Lees of San Francisco. The au- thorities had arrested Laird already on a felony charge and the local officers told them to go ahead and prosecute the prisoner. Captain Lees wired later that Laird had been held to answer. To-day word was received by Chief Glass from the north asking if the authorities here wanted to prosecute Laird on t e forgery charge. Captain Lees was advised to hold Laird until the arrival of a local officer. g Wild Kide at Tacoma. TACOMA, WasH., Nov. 28.—A Northern Pacific switch engine ran away to-night and after going three miles at a terrific spered jumped the track and lodged in a gitch bottom-side up. After remaining with the engine for a distance of a mile the enzineer and fireman jumped. The former struck a pile of wood. His shouider and right arm were broken, and he sustained internal injuries. He will probably die. The tireman was unhurt. The engine left Center street on a down grade for the yards, and went so rapidly that it could not be controlled, blowing out the cylinder-head. % gl U San Diego’s Quick Justice.

Lives Sacrificed Because of the Absence of Life-Saving . Apparatus. Citizens Will Appeal to Congress for the Establishment of a . Station. . POINT ARENA, Caw., Nov. 28.—With- in the past thirty years there have been wrecked and completely destroyed on the no:th side of Point Arena the following vessels: Bark Hyack; ship Elizabeth Buckley, two lives lost; schooner Phbe Fay; steamer Eastport, three lives lost; schooner James Townsend, crew rescued with difficulty; steamer San Benito, six liveslost. All of these vessels were lost in passing. In Arena Cove, on the south side, the steamers Constantine and Point Arena went onto the reef, but were got off badly damaged. A numbver of schooners, whose names cannot be recalled, have been lost in the cove. A little to the south of the cove the stedffier West Coast went onto the rocks and eight lives were lost. A mile south the steamers Point Arena and Alcazar went on to Baunders reef, but succeeded in getting off badly damaged. At lIversens Landing, five miles south, the schooner Ida Florence broke irom her moorings and foundered with all on board. A large number of lives have been lost in the immediate vicinity of the point by the capsizing of small boats. The citizens of Point Arens are agitat- ing the subject of bringing the great necessity of a life-saving station here to the attention of Congress through the California membvers. 1In the recent wreck of the steamer San Benito, north of the point, in which six lives were lost and nearly forty men were left exposed to heavy seas and clinging to the rigging for two days, if only a surf-boat or rockets capable of carrying lines to the wreck had been at hand the lives would have been saved and the suffering avoided. But there was not a suitable boat to be had while the peril of the crew was watched by a crowd ashore helpless to aid them. Captain Brown of the life-saving station and othe?s, who composed tte voluntary crew which distingunished itself for bravery in attempting to reach the wreck and save the crew ina ship’s boat, failed because the boat was not the kind that could ride the heavy surf. Indian Biil was one of the members of this bravecrew. He did not seem to think any more of risking his life than he would of accepting an invitation to dinner. The hat was passed around on the main street the other day and a total of $4 went into it for Indian Bill. He was very proud of the giit and proceeded to dispose of the money in true Indian fashion. Munuel Lazarus, sn Austrian, was an- other member of this volunteer life-saving crew. A story is told of Lazarns which not orly illustrates the mettle be is made of, but the mettle of the entire crew. Two vears ago a little steamer, said to have been tbe Point Arena, became disabled in a beavy sea off the point. A hawser had shifted overboard anrd became coiled around the propeiler, siopping it. While the steamer pitcued and rolled in the tempest Lazarus took off his clothes and climbed down over the stern with a hatchet. Clinging with one hand to the rudder post between seas, which alter- pately engulfed him and brought him into sight, he whackea away at the line until be cut ihe wheel free. His bravery was suitaoly rewarded. FROST DOES LITTLE DAMAGE. Slight Injury to Fruits and Vegetables Reported From Scattering Sections.

Order Was Preserved With Difficuity Among Twenty-Five Terror- Stricken Passengers. THE DALLES, Or., Nov. 28.—The Dalles, Portland and Astoria Navigation Company’s steamer - Dalles City, with twenty-five passengers and an unusually beavy cargo, narrowly escaped destruc- tion on the upper river last evening about half way between The Dalles and the Gov- ernment locks at the Cascades. Her passengers had an exciting experience, as it was feared for a time that the strong current would sweep the disabled boat down the river. While trying to make her way up the current, buffeted by floating ice and beaten by a heavy gale which drove her out of her course, the Dalles City struck on a submerged rock. A large bole was stove in her bow and as the water began to rush into the hold Captain Johnstone quickly put her about, ordered on full head of steam and ran for the Washington shore. The vessel was beached without difficulty, but 1t was not without some trouble that order was pre- served among the passengers. The heavy cargo and the passengers were landed at Wind Mountain, twenty miles from The Dalles. The passengers were transferred to the Oregon side of the river, where they reached an Oregon Rail- way and Navi ation Company train. Floating cakes of ice interfere with navi- gation on the river, and the new hy- draulic machinery on the Government | locks is frozen fast, so that it is impossible to get boats through. Tne Dalles City, which plies between Portland and The Dalles, arrived at the locks yesterday aiternoon and waited several hours try- | ing to get through, but finding it impos- | sible Captain Johnstone decided to return to The Dalles. Telephone lines were alt down last night, and news of the accident | The Dalles | was not received until to-day. City carried several carioads of cattle and hogs. CONVENTIUN OF COLLEGE MEN.

COLUMBIA, GA., Nov. 28.—A special from Zeale, Ala., says: Jackson Young, a negro, was hanged here to-day.

The coomed man neitber confessed nor denied his uilt, but said that he was ready and witl- ing to dia. The crime for which Young was hanged was most bratal and revo.ting. His vic- tim, & yonnfi girl about 16 years old, was his sister. She was found with her sku.l crushed and shattered with an ax and her h«i:p muulnlled.
