Steps Necessary to Secure In-demnity for the Valpa-

raiso Assault.

Washington, Jan. 29.—At the cab-inet meeting today, which was uncom-monly short, the Chilian matter wasdiscussed. Itwas decided that Minis-ter Egan should be instructed to sayto Senor Pereira, Chilian minister offoreign aiTairs, that his reply to the note

of Secretary Blame ot the 21st indi-cated a desire on the part of the Chiliangovernment to satisfy the Uuited Statesof its feeling of regret over the assaultupon the sailois ot the Baltimore inValparaiso. The replies as to tiie Mattanote of Dec. 11, and the request for therecall of Minister Egan, the latterwill be directed to say, are en-tirely satisfactory. Such beins the case,the United States willleave the matterof reparation to the sufferers by theassault to Chili to initiate according toher sense of justice and right. Andwitha salute of the United States flagthe incident willbe closed by this gov-ernment.

UntilChili makes some offer of repa-ration, of course, there wiil be nothingto arbitrate, as no points of differenceexist. The oiler may be so satisfactorythat arbitration on that score may notbe necessary.

-Uv.utt MM.'i!Tinin.

Atthe cabinet meeting the contentsof a dispatch from Minister Esjan re-ceived yesterday were made known. Itis said that Mr. Egan confirmed the\u25a0tory reported from Santiago that mem-bers of the Chilian government hadstated that Senor Montt, the Chilianminister at Washingtan, had misled hisgovernment by the advices he had dis-patched to them, which had the effectof seriously compromising the govern-ment in their dealing with the contro-versy.

A report was current tonight thatSenor Montt had intimated his intentionofleaving Washington, but it could notbe confirmed. Inquiries at the resi-dences of Secretary Blame and SenorMontt were met with the statement thatthere was nothing tosay. Itis believedthat if the Chilian minister has not al-ready given notice of his intention, hewillsoon do so. Indiplomatic circlesthe opinion is heid that after the receiptof such a letter as that addressed by thesecretary of state to the senor. the lattercould hardly remain persona grata,and being aware of that fact he would

Sever Relationswith the country. Itwouldnot be neces-sary for Senor Montt to wait for a letterof recall from his government, as possi-bly the government of Chilimight notwant to proceed to that extent. Hecould quietly take his departure. Insome well-Informed circles this actionby the Chilian representative is lookedlor in tiic near future.

The next question to come up in theprogress of the affair with Chiliis thatof indemnity to the sufferers by theassault upon the Baltimore sailors atValparaiso. In this instance. Chilihav-ing indicated her intention of offeringreparation, nothing will ba done untilthat offer is made. In ordinary cases ofclaims against foreign govern ments theclaimant files his petition with the sec-retary of state that this government willtake up and press the matter.

First the claim is examined by thelaw officer of the department to deter-mine as to its justness, and next as tothe amount of the claim. The govern-ment will not present or press a claimwhich it is not convinced is just, boths to amount and merit. Inthe interna-ional negotiations that are held overhese claims, the ordinal claimants

liose Their Individuality.They become the ciaims of the cov-

frnment, and the government, if itre-covers any money from another poweron the basis of the claims, cannot becompelled by legal process to deliverthe money to the original claimants.The transaction is entirely one betweenthe governments concerned, but theusual practice, of course, is to pay themoney thus obtained to the claimant.

As to the amount to be paid to therelatives of Riggin and Turnbull. thesailors who were killed,the Chilian gov-ernment may find, when itcomes to in-vestigate the matter, that in severalstates of the Union the enlightenedjudgment of the people, speakingthrough their legislatures, have fixedthe limit that may be recovered for dam-ages in one case of death at ?.rj,ooo. Inthe matter of injury, however, the limitof damages lies within the province ofthe petit jury. Patrick Shields, thesailor on the Kewanee who was also avictim ofChilian violence in Valparaiso,has filed, by his attorneys, a claim for£50,000 damages, which the attorneybsks the state department to collect.

VIGOROUS ENGLISH KICK.

tnkiml Remarks Made About OurGovernment.

London, Jan. 20.—The Saturday Re-view in an editorial apparently inspiredby a friend of Lord Sackville-Westsays: The conduct of the United StatesIn the Chilian matter is only anotherversion of the Sackville-West in-cident. In characterizing it ascheap and wanting indignity, we recog-nize that such charges have point andwould be felt ifmade against statesmenor gentlemen; but we are not awarethat the machine politicians of theUnited States are either. They haveacted toward Chili as they have repeat-edly acted toward us when they knewthat bounce uud bluster were withoutdanger. Itmust console Chili to knowthat the dime-museum heroism ofPresident Harrison has since beenmade to look bitterly ridiculous.We, who have often suffered fromhaving had to endure this same under-bred swagger; arc unutterably amusedthat Chili's apology was received beforethe president's thundering message wasissued.- The so-called American humoris too often as dull as it is vulgar, butAmericans have enough sense "of theridiculous to see the "absurdity of the/

situation. It is like the story of thegentleman who announced boldly thatbe would kick the door open or die.when he had every reason to believethat it was already open, and that therewas no enemy behind it.

Extra Work stopped.Yu.i.hjo, Cal., Jan. '^.i.— This after-

noon the United States cruiser Charles-ton tame out of the stone dock at MareIsland navy yard, and was hauled outinto the stream. The monitor Comanchewill be placed In dock tomorrow andhave her hull cleaned. Yesterday or-ders were received at this yard to dis-continue all extra work.

DEMOCRATS PROTEST.Cleveland's Friends Issue a Call

for a Meetinjr.

Ni:\v York, Jan. 29.—-Over sixty ofthe moat prominent Cleveland Demo-crats assembled this evening at theMurray Hill hotel. Among thosepresent were E. Eilery Ander-son, who presided; Ex-MayorWilliam R. Grace. Ex-Secretary ofthe United States Treasury Charles IS.Failchild; Col. Robert G. Monroe, ofGov. Flower's staff; Everett P. Wheeler,Peter B. Oluey. Henry K. Beektnan,Edward B. Whitney, lsador Strauss.Francis M.Scott, Stephen A. Walkerand others. The meeting was heldbehind closed doors. Mr. Ander-son read the call • for themeeting, which made no men-tion of Senator Hill's name, and saidthat it had been signed by gentlemenwho do not favor the idea of machinepoliticians controlling the state. Ex-Mayor Grace made the most importantsuggestion of the evening. That wasthat the anti-machine Democratsshould hold a convention oftheir own and elect delegatesto the national oonvention to ex-press the will of the people. Peter B.Olney wanted the names of both Cleve-land and Hillput in the call. This, hesaid, would add to Cleveland's strength.Francis M. Scott and others urged thatno names be mentioned, but that a com-mittee of three be appointed to draft acall for a meeting. Messrs. Coll. Mon-roe and Wheeler were appointed anddrafted the following, which wereadopted:

Whereas, the Democratic state conventionfor the election of delegates to the Demo-cratic national convention has been called tomeet Feb. 2.2 next, on only four weeks' no-tice,nlthouerh tbe national convention is nottomeet uutil<June2l, and whereas the outcomeofa convention selected inmidwinter upon soshort a call cannot be fairly and trulyrepre-sentative of the Democratic sentiment of thestate, and would inevitablydebar the massesof the Democratic voters of the state fromthe voice to which they are justly entitled inthe selection of the "Democratic candidatesfor president and vice president, and theframing of the party's platform.OWhereas, The action of the state commit-tee is not only undemocratic but unpre-cedented inthe history of the party in thisstate, the undersigned invite' their . fellowDemocrats who sympathize withtheir viewsto meet in this cityon the

—day of February,

at 8o'clock, to consider and decide upon thenecessary measures to secure the best inter-ests for the Democratic party.

This call was signed by the gentlemenat thf*meeting. A committee of twenty-five was also appointed from the num-ber to arrange for the meeting.

DISSOLUTION INMAY.

Conservative Leaders Take Warn-ing by the Rossendale Election.London, Jan. 29.—1f no change oc-

curs in the political situation seriousenough to cause the ministers to recon-sider their decision, .parliament will bedissolved in May. A majority of thecabinet agreed at the last cabinet coun-cil to hasten the elections. The meet-ing occurred under the shadow of theresult of the Kossendale contest.A report of the Central Con-servative association stitumarizingthe advices received from agents

.in the electoral centers on the chancesof early and delayed dissolution was be-fore the ministers, leading to a concur--rence of opinion that a speedy appeal tothe country is the best policy.

The dissolution can hardly be effect-ed before Whitsuntide. The ministerspropose to devote the whole session un-tilEaster to.the estimates. The Irishlocal government bill willbe introducedon the verge of the Easter recess, andthe second reading willbe had immedi-ately after the recess. The ministerial-ists rely upon obstruction to the meas-ure to afford them a reasonable excusefor an appeal to the country.. —

-^^-THE GERMAN CRISIS.

Chancellor Caprivi on the Educa-tion Bill.

Berlin, Jan. 29.—The sectarian edu-cation bill is under discussion in thelower house of the Prussian diet, andmasterly arguments for and against themeasure are expected. Though thebill is, of course, a governmentmeasure, it does not meet withunqualified support from all the mem-bers of the ministry. . This bill is a petscheme of the emperor, but itis certainto meet with determined opposition.Chancellor yon Caprivi made apowerfulspeech in favor of it, and took occasionto denounce the attitude of the NationalLiberals on the question. In the courseof his speech he said that ifthe members of that partycontinued in their opposition tothe measure the government wouldirive further proofs of its ability toswim against the stream. The chan-cellor declared tlwtt the governmentwould steadfastly oppose the readmis-siou of the Jesuits into Germany, andconcluded his speech by warning theopponents of the billnot to start an agi-tation in the country, as such a coursewould be doubly dangerous in the pres-ent difficult times. As soon as the chan-cellor had finished he left the house,followed by all the Prussian ministers.

WEBSTER A FORGER.

An American Financier DiscoversBad Paper.

London, Jan. 29, —The suicide ofHume Webster, the horse-breeder, hasbeen discovered to be due to worse thanmonetary troubles. He used forgedsignatures on bills amounting to over£40,000, a billpresented for payment onMonday with the signature forced lead-ing to the discovery of other forgeries.The name of an American financier,long a friend ot Webster and associatedwith him in the Erbreville Freeholdcompany, had been used on the speciouspaper. Webster's affairs became so des-perate that the frauds he committed,even if they had not been revealed,would not suffice tocover his debts.

Revolt in Argentine.

Buenos Ayres, Jan. 29.—The garri-son at Chaco have revolted and aremarching on Corrientes. Gov, Donovanhas ordered a gunboat to that place as ameasure of protection.

RULES RAZZLE 'EM.The House Majority Decides

Epitome.

Washington, Jan. 29.—The Demo-crats of the house of representativeswillappeal to caucus decree inorder tosecure unity of action in the adoptionof uiles for the government of the pro-ceedings of the house. Itis a matter ofsome sienificonce that the subject ofdissension in the Democratic ranks isthat clause of the pioposed code whichenables the committee on rules at anytime tocall up for consideration a re-port of that committee, and preventingdilatory motions being made pend-ing such consideration. To givethe speaker power to recognizeand prevent dilatory motions atsuch particular time, and notclothe him with like power at all othertimes seems to many Democratic mem-bers a great discrimination in favor ofthe committee of which the speaker isex-ofhcio chairman, and whose delibera-tions he naturally directs, and the pro-posed rule was most bitterly attackedby various members of the Democraticparty. So little attention, however, waspaid to party lines during the debatethat one of the strongest supporters ofthe rule was Hon. James Buchanan, thewtllknown Republican representativefrom New Jersey.

Tbe Rules Again.

After the readinc and approval of thejournal the house proceeded to the fur-ther consideration of the report of thecommittee on rules. The pending amend-ment was that offered by Mr. Hemphill,of South Carolina, withdrawing from thejurisdiction of the appropriation com-mittee the appropriations for the sup-port of the District of Columbia.

Inspeaking of this amendment Mr.Blount, of Georgia, who hadjmany years'experience as chairman on post roads,replied to some remarks made by Mr.Holman, of Indiana, reflecting upon theincrease in the expenditures tor thepostal service. Mr. iilount denied thatthere had been any extravagance in thatservice. The increase ofappropriationshad crown out of the prosperity of therepublic.

Mr. Hemphill, In advocating hisamendment, criticised the committee onappropriations for endeavoring to holdonto everything itcould get and ridi-culed the idea of economy entertainedby some people, which consisted intaking money from the people andkeeping itas long as they could. Aftersome further debate the amendmentwas rejected.

Mr. Norton, of Missouri, offered anamendment taking from the committeeon rivers and harbors jurisdiction overthe appropriations for the improvementof the Mississippi river. Mr.Bianchard,of Louisiana, believed that the interestsof the Mississippi would be best sub-served by leavinir the appropriations forthe improvement in the hands of thecommittee which now Dad charge of it.The amendment was rejected.

Bay State Politics.In speaking to an informal amend-

ment Mr. Morse (Massachusetts) turnedhis attention to Massachusetts politics.That state was represented in the houseby five Republicans and seven Demo-crats. The Democratic members wereall gentlemen of high character andability. Massachusetts sent no othermen here. [Laughter.] He had not aword to say against any of thosegentlemen, but the rules compelled himto say that Massachusetts was, at pres-ent misrepresented on this floor. Gov.Russell had been re-elected for threereasons: First, his personal popularity;second, the prohibition vote; tliird, be-cause he denied on the stump everyDemocratic doctrine.

Mr. Butler, of lowa, said that therewas a circus in town. The grand royalcombination, the great and only monop-olistic aggregation, the allied union ofprotective operatives, had sounded itsfish horn, declaring its grand openingw'th more Pharisees to the dozen thanever sent their praises in the streets ofold Jerusalem. [Laughter.] And suchmen to speak about the duties of truestatesmanship. The Republicansclaimed that they alone were patriotic,when their every act of legislation rel-ative to foreign countries

Had Been an Insult

to the American flag. They had com-pared our country with other nations,and for shame had declared our inabil-ity to compete with them in the ordi-nary affairs of life. Mr. De Forest(Connecticut) inveighed against therules of the last congress and the de-cisions made under them, and approvedof the proposed code..

Mr. Dingley (Maine) said that thegentleman from Illinois, Mr. Springer,in a speech delivered in New YorK, haddeclared that this house would not passa free silver bill. He also understoodthat the gentleman from Texas, Mr.Lanham, had withdrawn his amend-ment giving the committee on coinage,weights and measures leave to report atany time on the assurance of the gen-tleman from Missouri, Mr.Bland, thatit was unnecessary. There seemed tobe some misunderstanding somewhere,and he wished to call the attention ofthe gentleman from Illinois to thematter.

"What Springer Said.

Mr. Springer— ldid not make thestatement that this house would not passa free coinage bill.

Mr.Dingley—Iunderstood the gentle-man to be so reported. Will the gentle-man please state what he did say?

Mr. Springer—lsaid that a free coin-age billwould not become a law.becauseyour president would veto it.

Mr. Hooker, of Mississippi, moved tostrike from the rules the provision mak-ingitalways in order to call up for con-sideration a report from the committeeon rules and preventing dilatory motionsbeing made pending; such consideration.

Mr. Springer, ofIllinois, earnestly op-posed the motion and gave his heartyapproval to the rule reported by thecommittee on rules. This house washere to dobusiness; and though he wasan advocate of the rights of the niinor-ityhe was not in favor of giving a dan-gerous powejto one -mem, who by re-course to the rules arid by filibustering

motions might nullify the willOf thehouse.

An Kloquent Texan.Mr. Bailey, of Texas, the youngest

member of the house, and who came toWashington with quite a reputation fororatory,' then took the floor, and he fullyjustified that reputation, lie has acommanding presence, a hand-some,clear-cut lace, a powerful voice and agraceful delivery. The greatest at-tention was paid to his remarks, wnlehwere directed to an advocacy ofMr. Hooker's motion. He opposed therule as reported because it vasan essential departure from the tradi-tions of the Democratic party— a depart-ure which he was unwilling to see be-come the law of the house except overhis respectful protest.

The American people, he said, weretoday livingunder a surveillance un-known to the constitution, because theywere livingunder a system ofcommitteegovernment. The proposed rule gaveto the majority of the triumvirate of thecommittee on rules the power to decidewhat affirmative action should be takenby the entire house. Such a power oughtnot to be delegated except in cases ofabsolute and pressing necessity. TbeDemocrats had amajority of two-thirds,and with that majority they could safelyand properly suspend all rules shouldnecessity require it.

Estopped From Crltlcivlng*

If the Democrats adopted this rulethey were estopped hereafter from crit-icizing the Fifty-first congress and thedistinguished gentleman who presidedover its deliberations. [Applause onRepublican side.J

Mr. Enloe, of Tennessee, preferredthat the business of the house shouldbe regulated by a committee on orderof business; but ifthat could not bedone he was in favor of the proposedrule. The rules of the Fiftieth congresswere do-nothing rules. There wassomething good in the rules of the Fif-ty-first congress. [Applause andlaughter.] There was a lot ot bad inthem, too, but he wanted to profit byexperience, and incorporate what wasgood in the rules of the Fifty-first con-gress inthe code that would uoveru theFifty-second congress.

Mr.Buchanan, of New Jersey, advo-cated the rule as an enlargement of theliberty of representatives, and not acontraction thereof. He was pleasedwith the manliness of the gentlemanfrom Tennessee (Mr.Enioe) in statingthat there was good in the rules of theFifty-firstconeress. His own idea wasthat the whole mass of rules of thebouse had become obsolete and burden-some. Mr. Breckenridge, of Kentucky,thought that all the

Talk About Filibusteramounted to nothing. As a rule.thefilibusterer was a first-rate fellow. Fif-teen years ago he had prevented theforce bill from -being put upon theSouth. [This allustion to Mr.ltandallwas erected withapplause.] The filibus-terer had defeated the educational bill.Itwas not true that tbe filibusters wasentirely to be cut. .It was well some-times to be on good terms withhim.,

Mr. Oates, of .Alabama, offered anamendment providing for the appoint-men t

"of a committee on order ofbusi-

ness to consist of fifteen members ile».Democrats and fiveof tbe opposition),which shall ha'fe leave to report at anytime, and of which the speaker shall beev-ofncio chairman.

Mr. Cockran, of Ne\V York, said thatif a majority could not absolutely con-trol a representative bidy then parlia-mentary instttutiond''tvere without ex-cuse for their existence. After furtherdebate, but without action, the houseadjourned untH to-morrow.

During the debate on the contestedrule several of the Democratic leadershad held in informal conference anMdiscussed the wisdom of (tailinga paftycaucus to secure unity of action atnoitgthe Democratic members." Itwas final-ly decided that such a course was Im-perative, and immediately after ad-journment the caucus was announcedfor tomorrow evening at 7:30 o'clock.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.

Amendments Proposed by Na-tional Board ofTrade.

Wasiiintox, Jan.. 29.—.The Nationalboard of trade at its session todayadopted an address to congress, urgingthe passage of the" Torrey bankruptcybill. The committee on amendments tothe interstate commerce act submittedthe followingresolutions, which wereadopted by the board:

The board then resumed theconsideration of the resolution opposingthe Washburn bill in regard to dealingin futures.

After a long debate a vote was takenand the following was recorded as-thesense of the board :

Resolved, That while this board recog-nizes that evils resulting from excessivetrading inagriculturalond otner proaucts ofthe country, and would heartily co-opcrafchi any measures calculated to restrict* suchtrading within legitimate limits,which wouldnot at the same time seriously interfere withthe necessary facilities for handling the im-mense cereal and other crops of thecountry at the least possible risk andconsequently at the smallest practicable ex-pense in the course of their movement fromproducer to consumer, it deprecates tinvjefc-lslation laying a tax upon or interfering inany way with the freedom of commercialtransactions in such products, whether forimmediate for future delivery, bslieving thatany interference with the established meth-ods of business men, which are the result ofexperience under the natural laws and ne-cessities of trade, would be detrimental tothe publicinterest.Eesolved, That the hoard hereby reiteratesits expression of sentiment enunciated at thelast annual meeting inrelation to the tillthen pending in congress on this subject,known as the "Butterworth bill,'1 to the ef-fect that its adoption will cause irreparableinjuryto the business and agricultural inter-ests of the country.

After resolutions had been adoptedfavoring an international silver confer-ence and liberal appropriations for theworld's fair, the convention adiourned.The next meeting of the board willbeheld InWashington on the last Tuesdayin January, 1893.

Albert Lea, Jan. 29.—Had a cycloneswept down upon this city on a clearsummer's day it would have createdscarcely any more of a sensation thandid the announcement that the Free-bctrn County bank, owned by the lateLieut.

ITIS NOT A PRISON.

Williston's Important Ruling onthe Reform School.

Special to the Globe.Red Wing. Jan. 29.—Judge Williston

has rendered a decision in the habeascorpus proceedings for the release ofGeorge Carter from the state reformschool, which will have an importantbearing on the principle of state inter-ference in the custody of children.George Carter was sentenced by ajustice of the Deace of McLeocl countyto be placed in the refoim school for aperiod ofone year as a penalty for anassault upon Mary Jasmer. The ar-guments set up for his release werethat the justices of the peace haveby statute no right to impose a punish-ment of greater severity" than threemonths in jail, nor to extend such pe-riod of punishment by confinement inthe reform school. The applicationfor release was based on the hypothesisthat the state reform school is, in itslegal standing, a prison; and that,owing to statutory enactment, the ap-pellant was illegally imprisoned. Thejudge, in his decision, ruled that, thereform school is not a prison, but is acorrective institution, and thereforedoes not come within the statute; andthat upon the same principle uponwhich the state can assume the custodyof children before they are capable of"committing crime itcan assume itaftercrime has been committed.

BEN BUTLER'S BOOK.The Doughty Old Warrior Is

Very Frank inDefendingHimself.

Salmon P. Chase and SimonCameron Quoted inOdd

Situations.

Admiral Porter, Though Daad'Is Not Spared by Gen-

eral Ben.

Imposing Array of PersonalAchievements in War and

in Peace.

Boston, Jan. 29.— "The Autobiogra-phy and Personal Reminiscences ofMaj. Gen. Benjamin F. Butler," or"Butler's Book," was issued today,bearing the imprint of A. M. Thayer &Co. The book is dedicated "To thegood and brave soldiers of the GrandArmy of the Republic." Inhis preface

the eeneral gives as one reason for thepublication "to correct much of thewrong done to myself by a prejudicedmisrepresentation of facts and circum-stances as to my own acts in the serv-ice of the country." A casual review ofits contents would seem to convey theimpression that this is its main object.The author expresses the hope that hemay live long enousrh to answer anymisstatements hereafter made againstits subject matter."

Gen. Butler asserts positively thatSalmon P. Chase sent a friend to himat Fortress Monroe to solicit him toaccept the vice presidency nominationof the Republican party in case he(Chase) secured the first place; and thatSimon Cameron made a similar proposi-tion to him inbehalf of Mr. Lincoln lessthan three weeks afterwards. He

Quotes the C'oiiveratatlon.and gives the reasons for his refusal ofboth offices. He maintains, with docu-ments, his position taken in the contro-versy over the conduct of the late Ad-miralPorter at New Orleans, and de-clares that the latter acted untruthfullyand villainously through the whoietransaction of the capture and surren-der of the fort. He also chargesAdmiral Porter and the latter'ssubordinates with the failure of thepowder boat plan at Fort Fisher. Hebrands as utterly false the charge otGen. W. F. Smith that Grant was drunkbefore Petersburg, and criticisesSmith severely.

The general closes his work withasummary of things done by him and"proven by the narrative" in his mili-tary capacity, which were of service tothe country. Briefly these are: By fore-sight and energy getting Massachusettsmilitia ready bo that they were first tothe defense of Washington; seizingAnnapolis and opening the way fortranspoTtartiott-of -troops to- the capital;preventing an assault upon Washing-ton from Harper's Ferry by fortifyingRelay House heights; holding Balti-more and thus preventing the

Secession ofMaryland;applying the contraband principle toslaves and thus making: the emancipa-tion proclamation possible; seizing andfortifying Newport News, therebykeeping through the war an open wa-terway for transportation of troops andsupplies to Richmond: capturing FortsMattocks and Clark, making practica-blethe holding of the coast sounds;raising over6o,ooo men without bountiesor impressment; assisting with these inthe opening of the Mississippi and cap-ture of New Orleans; holding Louisianaand enforcing there respect for the gov-ernment; rescuing New Orleans fromyellow fever; inaugurated the policy ot'using colored troops; devising, organ-izing and perfecting the strategy forcampaign against Richmond by meansof an entrenched camp at BermudaHundred; designing and constructingthe Dutch Gap canals.

Finally he says: "In all militarymovements 1never met with disasternor uselessly sacrificed the lives of mymen. Inmy congressional career myproudest boast is that throusrh my effortthe legal greenback was made constitu-tional money, and Ibelieve soon it willbe the only money in the UnitedStates."

. GOSSIP OF GARZA.

The Border Excited by Fears of*»•V'^'.; •;"."!• \u25a0 Bloody War. "...Sax Antonio, Tex.,- Jan. 29.—The

only news received from the border thismorning was contained in a dispatch'from Del Rio. Tex., which confirms the,the report received yesterday that thereis a force of several thousandMexican revolutionists in the countryabout that place, about 100 miles on theMexican side of the Rio Grande in thestate of Coaliuila. The dispatch statesthat it is not definitely known as to

'

whether Catarino Garza is in commandof the army or not, some persons claim-ing to have seen him and others assert-ing that the person at the head of the!revolutionists is a manor, military train,-'ing and well known throughout Mexico.

These reports seem to be given cre-dence at military department headquar-ters here, and there are indications thatpart of the United States troops nowengaged in field duty on the lower partof the Rio Grande willbe transferred tothe upper part of the border at once,although no order to that effect has yetbeen issued by Gen. Stanley. There isthe greatest excitement along the wholeRio Grande border and there seems tobeno question but what the movement in-augurated by Garza which has beendriftingalong so slowly is going to de-velop into a bloody war. The Mexicangovernment began transDorting troopsto the upper part of the Rio Grandefrontier three days ago, but the countryin which the present revolutionary forceis located is so inaccessible that it willbe some tune before the governmenttroops can get to them.
