miles south of Concepcion, all sortie of ex -

Houses and stores have been sacked and
burned. The slightest protest against their
actions is Met by rifle shots. Women have
been abused and subjected to brutalities of
the most revolting character.' In fact mob
rale in its worst form prevails. Some out-
rages have been committed also in Concep-

cient to save them from the fate which has

As soon as the news was received here
this morning the German warship Sophie
and the British gunboat Daphne were
ordered to go at once to Coronel and protect

• Admiral Brown'a action in refusing to give
sip the political refugees who have found an
asylum aboard his ships has also added
to the general irritation. It is the
• general belief that Admiral Brown is
acting under instruction's, or by the
advice of Mr. Egan. The Minister
is expected to arrive here to -morrow for the
purpose of consulting with the admiral as
t,o the final disposibion of the refugees, now
on the American ships., The feeling against
Mr. Egan is very violent, and there is
little question that his recall will soon be
demanded.
The German Admiral settled the ques-
tion as to the disposition of the refugees,
so far as he is concerned, by sending the
Corvette Alexandarine to the north to-
day, presumably to Callao, with Senor
Claudio Vicuna, the recent Presi-
dent-elect.; Admiral Oscar Viel, the
ex-Intendent of Valparaiso; Capt. Fuentes,

SERIOUS ACCIDENTS.
One Marmora Man Loses an Arm, Another
Lose,s an Eye.
A Marmora despatch says : A gunning
accident occurred here last night. When
Harry Boldrick, a son of James Boldrick, of
Stirling, was pushing his beat from shore,
his gun slipped and watt diseharged, lodging
ging
the charge into his left arm above the elbow,
which was shattered so badly as to make
amputation necessary. The arm was ampu-
tated by Di. Jones, assisted by Drs. Shep-
pard and Pumeroy, all of this place.
Another accident occurred through which
at son of Win. Bonter lost his eye. He was
helping Richard Leonard kill a sheep, when
the knife slipped and struck hiln in the eye,
putting it out.

her bac and head. At times the sneezing
was more severe than at •others., During
the severe spells she could scarcely catch
her breath. Many times the anxious mother
thought her daughter was strangling to
death. The sneezing reached its climax on
Tuesday evening. The doctor who attended
the child was helplees before such an enemy.
It was plain to all that if relief did not soon
come death would. A heavy injection of
morphine was the last resort. This put her
tp sleep, and she slept soundly until . Wed-
nesday morning. When she got awake she
again began sneezing, but it was aanild at-
tack, and from that time she gradually got
better. The spells grew more infrequent
and of shorter duration. On Friday they
ceased. altogether.
• This is tke third attack the girl has had,
and, for the time it lasted, was the severest.
Two years ago she was afflicted in this way,
but then the sneezing continued for ten
days. When it ceased the girl was reduced
to a mere skeleton. A year ago she was
attacked a second time. Then her malady
lasted three days. Dr. J. W. Hess was her
physician. He says that there is nothing
known in medical practice to reach such
cases. The girl has been subject to hemor-
rhages of the nose, but she has had none for
four weeks. The doctor hoped in the early
part of her illness for such a hemorrhage,
believing that with it the sneezing would
cease.
NEW CATTLE TRADE REGULATIONS.
The BritisIrBoatd-of Agriculture 'Issues an
Important Order.
• A London cable says: An ,official order
•of the Beard of Agriculture has been issued
relating to the cattle trade, to go into
operation next January. Cattle are not to
be carried on more than three decks nor
one hatch above a compartment containing:
other cattle, nor in any position interfering
with the navigation and ventilation of the
vessel or the working of the boats. Every
part used for cattle must be provided with
substantial pens, strong enough to resist
the weight of the cattle or the action of the
weather. The pens must be weather-proof,
and provided with battens secured to the
deck to prevent cattle from slipping. Not
more than four large or five small
animals are to be placed in each pen.. There
must be a passageway of the minimum width
of 18 inches between every two rows of cat-
tle and in front of every single I row. Pens
must be adequately ventilated and lighted
and sufficiently roomy for repose and feed-
ing. Food and water must be protected from
the weather. There must be one competent
foreman with one assistant to every 25 head
of cattle. Any animal seriously injured
must be forthwith slaughtered. Any con.
travention a the order will make the owner,

• DEATH IN THE WARMING PAN.
A Baby Literally Roasted Alive at Peter-
boro While in a Fit.
A Peterboro despatch says: A shocking
affair was brought to light yesterday.
About two weeks ago a child about 2 years
old; belonging to parents residing in town
was taken ill with fits. While in a fit, the
old-fashioned remedy of putting the child
into a pan of warm water was tired. When
the child was put in the pan it was found
that the water was not sufficiently warm, so
the lid was taken off the stove and the pan
with the child still in it was raised and
placed on tne stove with the intention of
heating the water. Immediately on being
placed on the stove the child com-
menced to writhe in agony. The women in
attendance, deeming it the result of the fit,
paid no attention, but allowed it to remain
there, while it was being slowly cooked.
Finally, one woman, more thoughtful than
the others, entered the room and, seeing
what was going on, rushed ferward and
snatched the 'child from the pan. As she
pulled it away, the skin peeled off its body
and stuck in large pieces to the bottom of
the pan. The baby was badly burned, it
having been in the pan long enough for its
body to be literally roasted in places. On
seeing the result of their thoughtlessness
the women were horror-stricken. A physi-
cian was summoned, but although every-
thing possible was done to relieve the little
sufferer, the physician's efforts were unavail-
ing and the baby died.

THE PERSECUTED JEWS.
The Sultan Interferes to Prevent Refugees
from Entering Palestine,
A London cable says : A _letter . is, pub-,
lished here fromthe minister in charge of
Christ church," Jerusalem, saying that on
petition of the native tradesmen the Sultan
has stopped the influx of Russian Jews, and
that he will not permit them to land in
Palestine. without a..special order. Fifty
families who arrived recently by steamer
were sent back. The letter adds that Baron
Hirsch ought to arrange with the Porte
terms of settlement which would permit of
Jews locating in Palestine. Palestine, the
writer says, is at present thinly peopled.
If the country were terraced, planted, and
supplied with water reservoirs, it would be
highly productive, and the cost would be
small in comparison with the expensive sys-
tem adopted in South American countries.
In conclusion the clergyman says the coun-
try across the River Jordan is fine and fer-
tile, practically uninhabited, and able to
receive an enormous number of settlers.
The Jews now being driven from their
homes in Moscow are compelled to sign a
paper to the effect that they are quitting the
town of their own free will. This is done
in oiclexl that the Russian authorities may be
armed with an answer to the charges of bru-
tality, which, it appears, have made an im-
pression, even in Russia.
