OL'ISN HKVOI.T IN 1HIA7.IL.

LONDON. NOV. 11. A dispatch just received IHMV from IVrmimlmco suys that Ui-j! province of Orao I'ura has declared its independence of the ltra/ilinn republic and that the province of Kahia is expected also to throw oft the yoke of allegiance to the republic. This action is due to dissatisfaction at the iisumption of dictatorial powers by President Konseea.

The dissatisfaction with Konseca's action lias bjcu steadily growing and since the action repudiating* Konseea at Rio Grande do Soi the revolutionary feeling1 has developed with startlingrapidity. The general opinion is that Urazil is on the ver^e of a great civil war.

Dictator de Konseea is moving rapidly to suppress these attempts to set up separate governments, and he has ordered a warship to proceed without delay to Hio do »Sul, to take such action as may be necessary to prevent the provincial authorities from caroling their declaration of independence ill to effect.

I'OIIHITH

on Diingerons Ground.

It behooves him to move with alacrity, for already a man lias been named in connection with the contemplated presidency of the province. He is Silvence Martinez, who during the last revolution was banished from the country. lie subsequently was allowed to return, and he without doubt possesses greater political influence than any other man in the. province.

Both revolting' provinces are on the Atlantic coast. Grano l'ara lias an area of 4ii0,0()0 .square miles and liahia 232,524 square miles. The former has a population of :i:i0,000 and the later ,400,000. Negroes are numerous, but along the coast the European element preponderates.

CHILI NOT UNFRIENDLY.

Minister of Foreign AfTUlrs Mctta DecUr«N That III. Intention. Are I'uclHo.

SANTIAGO, Nov. 11.—A correspondent has had an important interview with Scnor Matta, the Chilian minister of foreign affairs, whose reply to the demand of the United Slates for satisfaction on account of the Haiti more outrage has created so much discussion. Senor Matta prefaced hisj remarks by saying that he was reluctant to express any opinion on a subject of such grave import that was still under consideration. It was, he said, contrary to diplomatic usage. In the course of the conversation, however, it was given out that the Chilian minister was of the opinion that tlfc United States representatives here seemed to think that they would in every way dictate to Chili as to what it should do and what not dc under various conditions. This stand on the part of tho United States representatives, he added, was untenable. "As to the stories so industriously and persistently spread." he said "that the present government of Chili is unfriendly to the United States administration or its people nothing could bo further from the truth. They are positive misstatements of tho real facts.

When every detail of the events that have transpired since the junta began its war against I'alraaceda becomes known the people of both countries will be called upon to act as judges. "The demands of Capt Schley," Minister Matta continued, "that an officer from the Baltimore be permitted to be present at the inquiry into the riot in Valparaiso is entirely against the legal procedure of Chili. Neither the president of -the country nor its congress could order a judge of crimes to admit persons to a secret trial. It was left, to the discretion of the judge of crimes himself, when a witness was under examination, to ask the intervention or presence of an amicus curat All these data relative to Chilian procedure have been transmitted to the United States by Minister Egan within the last few days.-'

Senor Matta impresses one strongly with the conviction that the Chilian authorities will reach the completion of the judicial inquiry into the attack upon the Baltimore's seamen and act speedily and fairly in arriving at a conclusion.

Kit an and the Kefuffee*.

Minister Kgan said Monday that the political refugees in the United States legation have had all their correspondence examined by him. All letters sent or received by the refugees have passed through his hands for perusal. The same rule, he said, was observed by liiin when he was sheltering junta refugees from the wrath of Balinaeeda. "I have informed all t\io refugees now in the legation," he continued, "that upon ray receiving word that this rule in regard to examining their correspondence has been in any way violated, 1 shall cause the expulsion of the guilty ones from their asylum. So far as I have been able to learn up to date there does not appear to be the slightest grounds for believing or even suspecting that any one of the refugees in the United I States legation was implicated in the plot to kill Gen. Canto."'

There is reliable authority for stating that the entire question of the relations between Chili and the United States, the present and past attitude of I Minister Kgan and general views on subjects referring to the affairs between the respective countries will be 1 fully ventilated at the coming congress by several prominent senators.

Street fights were frequent, but as the people were unarmed, no serious results followed until the police.took part in the row. Without warning they opened fire upon the populace and wounded several persons. The action of the police created great indignation and further trouble is expected, Business lias been Entirely suspended in consequence of the general spirit of uneasiness afloat, and the streets are deserted after nightfall. The liberal party, which supports Candidate I'once, secured :00 majority the tirst day.

As inayquil is the principal port of Ecuador, through which more than half of the revenues derived from import duties is collected, this suspension of business in its commercial center is hound to seriously affect the country at large.

A nura ber of letters were read from the order in South Africa and New Zealand, where it is growing rapidly. The report congratulates the order on its membership of 27,000, but cautions against reckless admissions of members. It recommends that the permissions to sell the general headquarters building be withdrawn, the emergency having passed which required it.

DKAIll.V Kt.AMT.

LONDON, Nov. 11.—Kurther particulars from Calcutta show that the cyclone which swept over the Andaman islands in the bay of liengal on Monday caused a very much larger loss life than was at first reported, and that the damage done was far in excess of the amount first telegraphed here. In addition to the drowning of nearly all of the crew of H. M. S. Kuterprise, the government steamer engaged in conveying the convicts to and from the settlement, by which seventy-eight out of eighty-three men lost their lives, it Is now officially announced that the total loss of life is nearly :.'00, and that about 250 people in addition were severely wounded.

the

The Andaman islands form a group in the bay of Bengal, between latitude 10 degrees and 13 degrees north, and nearly under 93 degrees ol east longitude, about ISO miles southwest of Cape Nograis, a headland on the coast of British iiurmah. The Great and Little Andaman islands compose the group and they are separated by Duncan's passage, where a number of native coasters and fishing boats foundered or were driven ashore during the cyclone. Port Blair, on Chatham island, is the headquarters of the convict settlement, the latter being naturally the most important industrial center of the islands. It was at Port Blair that the greatest loss of life occurred, and it is believed here that when the final returns come in it will be seen that considerably over 'HIO and possibly f.00 were victims of the cyclone's furj', for the population of Port Blair, or Blair Station is over 14,000 sinls.

Terror of tlie otivlets.

The convicts wlio were not inf confinement, nearly all of them being East Indians, run panic stricken here and there, seeking places of shelter, or falling prostrate upen Hie ground and muttering prayers, prepared to die. With the convicts in confinement, the filiation was much worse. Tenor-str.eken they raged like wild iieasls in their efforts to free themselves and at least meet death or liberty. The guards did their utmost to release the con lined convicts, but during the awful sweep of the storm over the islands every man, woman and child there had all they could do to look after their own personal sufety.

Heroic Females.

In the midst of this terrible disturbance of nature, when the bravest and strongest men quailed with apprehension, it was noticed that a building standing near the seashore had been crushed down and actually hurled Into the surf by the force of the wind. Some of the convicts confined in this building succeeded in escaping before it was blown into the water, others were drowned in spite of their efforts to escape, but nine or ten of these convicts succeeded in clambering upon the roof, from which they loudly appealed for help. The guards and others were too much occupied to be of any scrvice to tlie imperiled men. In this emergency a gang of female convicts displayed great bravery. Undaunted by the shrieking cyclone and listening only to the frantic appeals for help uttered by the men in danger they boldly joined hands together in a long line, a human rope, the boldest of the women at the end facing the water, and in this manner they slowly but steadily ventured into the raging surf, and though those at the extremity of tlie line were frequently swept, off-their feet and were almost half drowned by the rushing waters they finally succeeded in rescuing six native "convicts who would otherwise have perished, for their companions hail been swept awaj and drowned.

This is only an instance of the courage displayed upon this occasion by the female convicts of the Andaman islands: on all sides they won the highest praise by ministering to the dying and nursing the wounded. While the men seemed cowed with terror, the women, Vs il rule, displayed most remarkable courage. So much so that it is understood the general governor of tlie penal station will recommend that a number of them be pardoned and that the sentences of a large number of others be commuted to short terms of imprisonment

While this was going on ashore, at sea, off the coast, matters were nearly as bad. Every small craft, without apparently a single exception, was either swamped after a short struggle with the storm or sw'cpt ashore and then dashed to picces amid the surf. A number of natives not included in the present estimate lost their lives in this manner.

Damage to t.'rop. anil Property.

The damage done to crops and other propertx must be very heavy, as it is admitted that all the crops not in thoroughly sheltered places have been completely destroyed and that the number of buildings damaged or destroyed is very great.

HIE SKAI.KKIKS CASKS.

VPAsni.VCTON, Nov. 11.—The hearing of the Iteiiring sea sealeries case in the supreme court was resumed Tuesday Atty.-Gen. Miller interrupted Solicitor-Gen. Tuft during the course of his remarks to announce that it had been agreed to submit the controversy between the United States and England as to the seal fisheries to arbitration, and that the otlieial announcement of that fact would soon be made.

This ended the discussion in the supreme court chamber, but it only set the news flying in other quarters. Tho attorney general when pressed further news said a treaty had been signed which would go to the senate for ratification. Secretary Blaine had nothing to say, and silence was maintained at the white house.

Matter* to Be Tassed Upon.

No claim involving tlie question whether Beliring sea is a closed sea is put forward on behalf of the United States, nor is the concession made that it is an open sea. That question is in abeyance, because the position of this country in regard to I'clogic sealing has never in the diplomatic correspondence rested ou such grounds. What the arbitrators will have to pass on will be tho right of the United States to protect seal life •utside the 3-mile limit, holding undisputed ownership, as it does, of the feeding grounds of the seals. A construction will also have to be given the historical issue growing out of tlie Russian cession. That all I

Russian rights passed to the United States is admitted, but it will be left to the arbitrators to determine just what those rights were. The question of compensation will follow the arbitration. -If the finding is that the United States has been wrong'in prohibiting poaching the Canadian government will be entitled to recover damages for the sealers which have been seized. If, on the other hand, the rights of this country are upheld, Canada will have to pay for the seals that have been taken by the poachers, and the bill will be something enormous.

THE FARMERS' CONGRESS.

SKDAI.IA, MO.J NOV. 11. The eleventh annual session of the Nation-. al Farmers' congress convened •lierel Tuesday. There are about 300dclegates, nearly all of the states being rcpresented.

From other sources, however, some inkling was got of the nature of the arbitration agreement. It is in the form of a treaty to bind the United States to the results of arbitration. The consent of the senate must first be secured. It is understood that there aro to be three arbitrators—one chosen by the United States and one by Great Britain, these two to sclcct the tliird.

TKHKI: HAITI:. I ml., Nov. 11.—Block coal is retailing at S3 here as against 82.35»a week ago, and there is little to be had at that price. Instead of tlie price being fixed at a few cents more than the price at tlie coalmines, which are only a few miles away, it is fixed on the basis of Hocking valley prices, with the freight added. Tlie bituminous coal operatm-s. who signed the agreement last week not to pay the increase, take decided exception to the statement made by rresident CommisUy to the efl'eet that li number of operators have signified a willingness to accede to the demand of the miners. The operators say that no one of those signing the agreement isweakening in the the least. If any operators have signilicd a willingness to pay the increased rate they arc operators in control of small "strip" mines. The operators for who signed the agreement are the ones who own what are known as the big mines of the state. President Commisky, who was at Clay City Monday, made the statement that a Clay

City operator was one of those who would pay the scale if the men would return to work. This statement tlie operators licre deny point blank. They say that a few small operators would like to jump into the market now, and. of course, would willingly pay the live cents increase when coal is up CM cents a toil.
