Two wives are waiting for his awakening, one with a warrant for | his arrest. Since the financial success of | the slumber was assured Mrs. Lottie Mc- Manigle of Kansas City has appeared to contest the right of the present Mrs. Atheno, now keeping watch beside the coffin. Mrs. McManigle says she was married | to Atheno three years ago in New York | and that the hypnotist has since changed his name for esthetic purposes. Although Atheno has lately cleared $1800 by his cx- | periments, Mrs. McManigle says she has | been obliged to get along with only $ as | her share. She has sworn out a warrani | charging Atheno with abandonment and is only deterred from including bigamy in the complaint through the difficulty of locating the second Mrs. Atheno’s mar- riage record. The reigning Mrs. Atheno says she is Atheno'’s lawfully wedded wife and that all will be explained satisfactor- ily when the sleeper wakens. For three days Atheno rested beneath six feet of ground.

CHILE, VEXED BY MORE DELAY, SENDS ARGENTINA A LAST NOTE Thousands of Troops of One of the Quarreling Republics in South America Are Reported to Have Been Ordered Out and in Readiness to Take a Qu UENOS AYRES, Dec. 13.—Accord- ing to the latest advices from the. Chilean capital, Secretary of Foreign Affairs Senor Tanaz has tendered to the Argentine Minis- ter, Senor Portela, a new proposal for a settlement of the dispute. It is understood that Chile will not make another proposal if this new one is rejected by Argentina. In case Argen- tina rejects the proposal a view will be taken that peace with Chile is not de- sired and that war is acceptable. The Argentine army has now been in- creased to 60,000 men. It is belfeved that with the police the total ‘force will amount to 80,000. Chile is mustering her forces. A dispatch from Santiago says that the Brazilian Minister to-day visited Presi- dent Riesco and tendered the good offices of his Government, but that President Riesco thanked him for the offer and de- clared that mediation was not necessary. He added that the dispute would be set- tled amicably between the two govern- ments. Official reports give the follow- ing account concerning the offer of medi- ation by the United States: The United States Minister in Santiago informed his Government that President Riesco was disposed to accept mediation. Secretary Hay thereupon instructed Min- ister Lord here to extend his good offices to Argentina. Minister Lord yesterday conferred with the Foreign Minister, Senor Alcorta, who declared that he did not_believe it opportune to accent foreign mediation at the present time. The Tribuna, President Riesco's organ, strongly denies the truth of a dispatch sent to the London Daily Telegraph from Washington announcing that the Argen- tine Minister, Senor Garcia Merou, re- iation of tRe United ays the Argentine ington never did such a Brazilian and Uruguayan papers declare that neither country could remain neu- tral in case of war, in view of the impor- tance of the interests which would be af- Jfected by the struggle. TROOPS FOR THE PASSES. Thirty Thousand Men May Hold the Mountains Around Chile. LONDON, Dec. 13.—The Times to-day prints a dispatch from Valparaiso under announcing that decrees have been published calling out a suffi- cient number of conscripts and territorial guards to place 30,000 men at the disposal of Chile to protect the mountain passes. PARIS, Dec. 13.—A dispatch received Special Dispatch to The Call. day’s date says: “The alarm manifested in Argentina is declared in Chilean offi- cial circles to be unwarranted. opinion of the Government the boundary dispute will not justify a rupture.” A news agency here this’ afternoon re- ceived a dispatch from its office at Buenos Ayres, dated 11 o’clock this morn- ing, confirming a dispatch from Buenos Aytes last night, announcing the cailing out of the Argentina army reserves, and adding that at the request of the Gov- ernment the®Chamber of Deputies had sanctioned a bill setting aside the conver- sion fund to be used for the national de- fense. Continuing, the dispatch from Buenos Ayres says: “The report that the United States will offer its good offices is confirmed. At Chile’s request the American Minister has sounded the intentions of the Argentina Government, Brazil has offered media- tion also. It was announced here that Chile has called out 15,000 men, but the news is questioned, because, according to the officials here, Chile does not possess the means to equip and move such a body. of men. Much anxlety prevails here in view of the fact that a decisive conference on the boundary dispute and other mat- ters is to take place at Santiago to-day. Public feeling is very strong. “Senor Anchorena has offered to bear the expense of a regiment during the en- tire campaign, and patriotic ~offers of various descriptions are arriving from ail parts of the country. Nevertheless, in certain quarters, the opinion is persistent- 1y held that war between Argentina and Chile is improbable.” AL DENIES ALARMING TALES. Chilean Statesman Cables That a Settlement Is Not Improbable. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—Pan-Amer- ican circles in Washington are in a fever of anxiety to-night as a result of the con- ferences held to-day in Santiago by the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Chile and the Argentina Minister. ~ Senor Infante, Chilean Charge d'Affaires, is confident that war will not occur. His confidence is based upon this dispatch, which reached him_ to-day from the Chilean Minister for Foreign Affairs: “The alarming reports published by the press are all without foundation. ~The Government of Chile is confident that the conference which will take place to-day between the Minister for Foreign Affairs and the Argentina Minister will result in an_ amicable settlement.” Senor Infante said that this message is in line with many others which he has recefved. 3 “I am sure that negotiations will result in an arrangement satisfactory to both ick Part in the Ppssible Hostilities always entertained the belief that peace il be preserved and I see no reason to change that view.” Senor Infante denied to-day that Chile is endeavoring to purchase warships in the United States. He said that reports to this effect probably arose out of the efforts of private firms to buy warships in the hope of selling them to Chile. It is learned from an authoritative source that Chile has been negotiating for men- of-war in Japan, but it is not known that her efforts have been sucegssful. No word has been receivéd by the State Department from Minister Lord at Buenos Ayres in relation to the attitude adopted by Argentina to the intimation given to her that the United States is prepared to exercise its good offices, Chile having expressed willingness that they should be used. Argentina will un- doubtedly refuse to permit mediation, be- fieving that a settlement should be effect- ed directly between herself and Chile. If war occurs it will not be so much over the question of where the boundary shall be placed as to whether Argentina or Chile shall be the dominant power of South America. 5 ais: SHEbET: CALL TO ARMS SOUNDS. Chile Musters Her Reserves in Prep- aration for Possible Conflict. SANTIAGO DE CHILE, Dec. 1B.—A contingent of the Chilean reserves has been called to arms. 1t numbers about 50,000 men. No movement of the military forces under arms has occurred, how- ever. Everything is quiet here in expecta- tion of the announcement of Chile's an- swer to Argentina, which, according to public opinion, will be firm and serene. The Brazilian Government has proffercd its amicable mediation in the Argentina- CHile dispute. It would seem here that his action will not be necessary, as both {hc Argentina and Chilean governments hope to come to terms. LONDON, Dec. 13.—The Associated Press learns from an authoritative source that the Chilean reply to the representa- tions of the Minister of the Argentine republic to Chile was presented to-day Confidence is expressed by the officials here that the basis for a settlement pro- posed will lead to a satisfactory arrange- ment between the two governments. The Dally Mail has received dispatches from Valparaiso and Buenos Ayres ex- pressing the belief that peace will be pre- served and stating that Great Britain has notified both the Argentina and Chilean governments of her willingness to medi- ate if requested to do so. The Chilean State Council, the dispatch adds, recom- mends that the strength of the navy Le here from Santiago de Chile under to- | governments,” he continued. ~“I _have | increased to fifteen large warships.

She has caused the arrest of Bemis brothers, on a charge that they maintain a gambling game upon their premises. The affair has caused a tremendous sensation.

DOWIE Dupe of the Zion Leader Tells How He Was Bunkoed Out of a Fortune. CHICAGO, Dec. 13.—Gaping crowds thronged Judge Tuley’ and courtroom the adjacent halls to-day, curious to hear disclosures against “Dr.” John Alexander Dowie in the suit for the appointment of a receiver for his Zion lace Industries. Samuel Stevenson was on the stand most of the morning, and continued his testi- mony charging Dowie with defrauding him of large sums af money. Letters from the “General Overseer” to Stevenson were read and created a buzz of comment. The plaintiff’s testimony tended to show that “Dr.” Dowie used honey words and a show of considerate feeling to induce ! Stevenson to part with his money, but that later when Stevenson learned that Dowle claimed entire ownership in the lace industries, Dowie’s attitude toward him turned to one of abuse. The plaintiff testified that because he demanded his rights_in the business transaction Dowie had abused him from the pulpit of Zion Tabernacle and had unmercifully flayed | him_through articles in Dowie's ‘Leaves of Healing.” Ll s i Smelter to Be Shut Down. OMAHA, Dec. 13.—Manager Page of the American Smelting and Refining plants at Omaha and Argentine, Kans., returned to-day from the East.

CAPTIVE MISSIONARY IS IN GOOD HEALTH State Department Receives Informa- tion About Miss Stone From the Brigand Camp. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—Secretary Hay recefved a dispatch to-day from Spencer Eddy, Charge d’Affaires of the United States in Constantinople, in re- lation to the negotiations with the Bul- garian brigands who hold Miss Stone captive. Miss Stene is well. Beyond this fact the State Department declines to make public the contents of the message. The brigands have not yet been convinced that the entire ransom of $110,000 cannot be raised, and until this belief is dis- pelled the authorities say it is hopeless to expect the woman's release. PR Sentenced for a Conspiracy. NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—The appellate di- vision of the Supreme Court handed down a decision to-day confirming the convic- tion of Alfred R. Goslin, Eugene L.

Goslin was sentenced to six months in the peni- tentiary and to pay a $500 fine, and Davis and Packer to three months in the peni- tentlary and to pay a $300 fine each. —_— e————— Unknown Woman Drowns Herself. A woman about 55 years of age com- mitted suicide late last night by jumping into the bay off Union street wharf. The watchman of the British ship Hanemoa saw her going in the direction of the wharf and as she did not return he went to investigate. He found her body float- ing in the water about twenty-five feet from the bank. The body was removed from the water by Charles Hanson and J. A. Pye, a sallor, and taken to the Morgue. There was nothing about her clothing by which the remains could be identified YEARS OF Hlo LIFE A BLANK Frank Strong Victim of Peculiar Lapse of | Memory. Missing Mississippi Lawyer “Comes to” in a British Columbia City. i iy Special Dispatch to The Call. | VANCOUVER. B. C. - Dec. 13—The story of Franklin Strong, who was lost | four years and *“found himself’ yester-| day in New Westminster, promises to be | at least a nine days’ wonder. His experi- | ence was a strange one. Four years 2go he left his home to go to his office in | Aberdeen, Miss., in the regular course of | business. He remembers nothing after that until he came to himself on Tuesday of this week on Columbia street, New Westminster. He was living in Aberdeen | four years ago, and where he has been | and what he has been doing since then | he does not know. 7The period was a blank to him, and, strangely when his senses returned he remembered | only the moment when four years ago he ;vas walking down to his office in Aber- | een. Another peculiar fact Is that, although | a lawyer with a good education, Strong | was another man since 1597. From the appearance of his hands he has been en- | gaged at hard manual work and evidently | his education and attainments were of lit- tle use to him. | Strong seemed surprised when Dr. | Boggs tola him that he was in New Westminster, and not in the State of Mis- | sissippl. He appeared to be in good health, but complained that he had lost | money in mining—where he could not re- member. He asked about President Mc- Kinley and was horritied to learn of the martyr's death. He said he remembered something about the Cuban war. but haj no idea how it had ended, and, so far as | the Boer war and other important events | were concerned, his mind was a blank. | Strong asked for no assistance from | either Dr. Boggs or Df. Kendall. Dr. Ken- | dall offered to pay for his bed at a hotel, but the man refused. He sald that he would go to the police station and he in- sisted on having his own way in that re- | spect. He spoke several times of the | horror he had of the publicity that he would attract when the story of his strange experience became public. He knew that it would attract attention be- | cause ne remembered the notoriety he got | when a lad of 16 yedrs. At that time he had a lapse of memory and wandered | away from home. He came to himself | three weeks afterward and found himself | 150 miles away from his abode. Strong was put under no restriction and | to-day went for. a walk. Since then no trace of him has been discovered. FHILIPPINE STOCK CANNOT BE LANDED | Secretary Wilson Guards Against the Spread Here of Infectious Ani- mal Diseases. WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—The acsept- ance of Andrew Carnegie's gift of $10,000 000 for educational purposes was dis- clissed informally at the Cabinet meeting to-day, but no definite conclusion was reached in regard to it, and probably will not be for several day: The Cabinet also discussed a special or- der subsequently promulgated by Secre- tary Wilson prohibiting the landing at any ports of the United States, Hawail | fore the special TURNS WRATH ON UNGLE SAM Venezuela Displeased at Attitude of this Nation. Geréral Uprising May Occur in the Little Re- public. WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacao, Dec. 13, via Haytien cable.—There has been a halt in the exchange of communi- cations between Germany and Venezuela, owing to the publication in the newspa- pers of Caracas of cable dispatches from the United States setting forth that the Government at Washington will not op- pose any steps which Germany may take to enforce her rights in Venezuela, with the exception of preventing the amnexa- tion of Venezuelan territory. As a result the newspaper attacks on Germanuy have ceased, but the semi-of- ficial papers are now attacking the United States, saying that Washington, in authorizing Germany to take action in her dispute with Venezuela, looks upon enough, Pihe latter country as being part of the territory of the United States. It is belleved here that Germany at the end of the present month will take steps to obtain a due acknowledgment of her claims for $2,000,000 arising from losseés sustained by German citizens during the last revoluiion here and disallowed. by Venezuela, who answered last year that Germany should present her claims be- r Venezuelan courts ap- pointed to pass upon such matters. But Germany, the United States, Great Brit- ain and France refused to appeal to these courts. Italy alonme, being bound by a former‘treaty, was obliged to present her claims to the Venezuelan courts. The claim of the Disconto Bank of Berlin will probably be included in the claims pre- sented by Germany The situation in Venezuela is eritical and fears are expressed of a general up- rising there in January.
