BILLOWS OF DEATH.

Disaster In the Gilbert Islands of the Pacific Ocean.

THEY ARE DELUGED BY TIDAL WAVES

Hundred* of Houses Swept Aw ay, and In One I.ocHllty Alone Kighty Natives Are Said to Have Perished.

GREAT DEVASTATION.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 29. -Advices from the south seas give startling news from the Gilbert islands in the Pacific by the mission bark John Williams, now at Samoa. It seems that just before the bark visited the group very severe weather prevailed, during which there were several tidal upheavals, the result, doubtless, of submarine disturbances. Tidal waves broke high over some of tlio islands of the group, causing great loss of life, and completely demolishing houses.

Klclily I.tveK l.o»t.

At one island alone, Rev. J. W. Hills, of the London Missionary society, writes no fewer than eighty natives perished. The track of the tidal waves is not known, but a6 the Gilbert group has suffered so severely it is scarcely probable that other islands have escaped devastation, and further information is anxiously looked for.

Scene of flie I)Uut«r.

The Gilbert islands, «jr the Kingsmill group, consist of fifteen islands of coral formation, all low. the highest land in the group not exceeding 20 feet, and are fast wearing away by the action of the sea. For years past a profitable trade in copra, shark fins, l!cche-de-Mer and the usual island products lias found its way to Sydney from the group. Americans also had a good share of business, trading vessels frotn San Francisco fnaking a practice of visiting them.

THE BRUSSELS TREATY. Ita Early ItHtlncHtlon Creed In the Inter. CHU of llumnnlty and Civilization.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—It is possible the president will send a special message to the senate in regard to the Brussels treaty, which has for its object the breaking up of the African slave trade. There is strong pressure from religious bodies all over the country to secure the ratification of the treaty, and public sentiment seems to be decidedly in favor of it. The time, however, is short, and unless the senate acts promptly the treaty will fail. Last summer Secretary Blaine secured an extension of the date for exchanging ratifications to February 2, 1892. If tliisi country does nothing by that time the signatory powers will hardly agree to any further cxten-' sions.

It was thought that France had decided to hold out, but the cablegram received by Minister Le Ghait, the Belgian representative here, shows that Franco lias taken the final step and ia the seventeenth power thi»l has ratified the convention. The United States

took part in the Brussels conference of which the treaty, was the outgrowth,

In the current number of the Forum ex-Minister Lambert Tree, of Chicago, makes a strong plea for the ratification of the treaty, lie says that humanity and civilization both require that the United States shall do its part in suppressing the slave traffic.

CANADIANS IN TROUBLE.

Hills MnDougall, of Montreal, Involved for a Quarter of a Million. MONTHRAI., Can., Dec. 29.—Owing to the present bad state of business throughout Canada a large number of business failures have been occurring lately, and rumors of the financial embarrassment of several large houses are going the rounds. The wholesale tweed and woolen firm of Mills & McDougall, owing to a succession of bad seasons, has been forced to call a meeting of its creditors. The firm is one of sixteen years' standing and one of the most honorable in Canada. Its liabilities are fully S250,000. principally owing in Canada.

President H*rrl.on'. Reciprocity I*roo* 1*illation—It May Mot lie 1 nailed Until

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.— The president's retaliatory reciprocity proclamation is drafted but it will not ne'eessarlly be issued January 1. The sugarproducing countries which would bo exempt from its provisions on that date »re Germany, Brazil, Cuba, Puerto Rico and most of the British West Indies, as well as the Sandwich Islands.

But other countries have been hurrying up their negotiations, and it is said by the middle of February nearly all of Central and South America will have concluded arrangements which will give them a continual free market for their sugar, coffee and molasses in the United States. Nicaragua, which was a little late in beginning' negotiations, is now making the greatest hurry. The preliminary agreement with Mexico is said to be also well under way. The Mexican concessions will be lowering the rate on live stock and other agricultural products which wore raised by the new tariff that went into effect November 1. The Argentine Republic has made less progress owing to the disturbed condition of affairs in that country.

The new commercial treaty with France will be pushed now that Minister l'atenotre has arrived. As previously stated, it will be a general treaty and will lower the duties on American cereals and meat products in •xchange for concessions on French wines anflsilks which arc exported so largely to the United States.

HARPER NOT PARDONED.

Prenldent Ilnrrlnon Ueollnon to Let lllm Off from Ills Ten Yearn' Sentence WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—People who were caught in the failure of the Fidelity bank in Cincinnati years ago will be interested in knowing that the president liaa denied a pardon to bank wrecker E. L. Harper. The latter was sentenced in 1887 to ten years in the penitentiary and is serving his sentence at Columbus. He was hardly behind the prison bars when his friends began their efforts to lmve him pardoned. They have been unremitting. The attorney general reported unfavorable on the case and the president has ended Harper's hopes, during the present administration at least, by denying the pardon.

WAR ON GARZA.

Two Armies Preparing to Closo in on the Rebel

Mexican Troops llelng Hurried Forward to Actlon-~lmitet Stated Soldiers Patrolling the

Itlo Grande*

WOHRtRD BY.GAI17.A.

SAN- ANTOXIO, Tex., Dec.. 29.—The revolutionary outbreak of Catarlno (Jar/.a on the border has reached a stage inspiring the governments of the United States and Mexico to exert every means for its suppression. Qen. Stanley, commanding the department of Texas, lias received orders from Washington to do his utmost to rnn down tlar/.a's men and prevent further violation of our neutrality laws as well as to bring the revolutionists to account for their politien! crimes and the shedding of the blood of American soldiers.

The Mexican government is adding strength to the frontier forces daily, and there are no less than 10,000 troops now massed in tin states of Tnmaulipas, Nenva Leon and Coaliuila. The United States troops are doing good work, but llioj- are unable to cover the broad territory assigned them with much success. The revolutionists have spies at. all the posts, who keep the main detachment of (iarz.ii informed of every military move proposed. At the present time it seems that the revolutionists are confining tlieir organizing and enlistment operations to the .Texas side of the border, where the whole population, with the exception of the military and federal authorities, is in sympathy with them.

The Situation Scrlouv.

WASIII.NO rox, Dee. 'JO.—Acting Secretary I rant said that he regarded the situation on the Mexican frontier as serious and that the war department was exerting itself to prevent further violations of the neutrality laws by (Jar/.a's band of revolutionists. If nceessary to prevent those men from crossing backward and forward between Mexico aud the United States the entire military force under (Jen. Stanley's command will be distributed along the north bank of the Rio Grande. (art» Gaining HtrciiKtli.

It is believed at the war department that Garza's aiovement is gaining in strength, notwithstanding the efforts of the. United States and Mcxicun troops to restrain it and some officers recall the fact that Diaz, tlij^ president of Mexico reached his present station through a revolutionary movement conducted across the boundary, just as Garza is conducting his campaign. Inasmuch as the Rio Grande is fordable seven months of the year and the revolutionists linve many friends on each side of the river, who keep tliem advised promptly of every move of the government forces, the task before Gen. Stanley's troops of preventing them from crossing is full of difll culty.

Itardle's iteport.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Dec. 29.—The situation on the border is becoming more serious, and it is believed that the trouble will not b« overeome without considerable bloodshed, as the revolutionists continue to organize their forces on this side of the border without any apparent fear of interruption by the United States military authorities. Capt. Fran* cis H. Hardie, of the United States Third cavalry, has been heard from through Capt John G. Hourkc, who is in command at Fort Ringgold, the following dispatch being received by Adjt. (Jen. J. I*. Martin at military .department headquarters here Monday: "A couricr from Capt. Hurdle at Salleno reports that ho lias two Mexicans with bim who know nil the ranchcs and all the people up there suspected of complicity In the recent attacks upon Mexican territory. Ho will search Salieno and adjacent ranches this morning, Second Lieut. George

T. Langhorne, of thf. Third cavalry, left »t midnight with twenty men to look for a band of revolutionist* said to bn skulking in the vicinity of Havana. 1 have two »mall dotachincnts out in the vicinity of I'allto lilanco and Salieno. I will go out to nee Hardie this afternoon, as 1 understand the Gar/.a men have socrct marks upon their clothing by which they identify each other, which it lb vory important for us to find out. Will you please arrange for good guides aud scouts to be attached to each col* umn moving out from oero, as it is impossible to do anything without them."

Sending Out Mir«* Troop*. lien. Stanley, commander of this department, sent a number of dispatches Monday evening to the different post commanders along the border instructing the in all to take the Held with dc taclimeuts of their forc.es and scout for the revolutionists. lie also issued an order for the United States troops and of thcTliir.l cavalry, stationed at this post, to be pivparcd to leave at moment's notice. They will be distributed along the border at different posts', thus strengthening the military guard.

Mori! l'opiil»r Titan \Ya» Supposed. Other telegrams indicate that a ranch on the Itio Grande called Cuza lilancho has been used as a rendezvous for the recruits for Garza aud as an armory. If inobili'/.ed Garza's forces would not be inconsiderable, and there is much more sympathy with him in Mcxico than dare be admitted by his opponents.

Gen. Stanley stated Monday evening that lie believed there is hardly a Mexican on this side of tlic border but what is thoroughly in sympathy with the revolutionists and is giving tlicin all the aid possible. at*rxu't* hjilea at United Htntrit 1'ostn.

Another telegram was received by the military authorities here that Gflraa has established a recruiting station at C'asa lilanca. Tex., and is enlisting many revolutionists in his army. This telegram came from Lanieda Diaz, Mexican consul at Laredo, Tex. Gen. Stanley is vory much disturbed by these telegrams, and ho stated that he will use every means in his power to s(9p the flagrant violation of Uie law.

In Spite of All Denials the United stut«« Government I« Making Active War Preparation*—Chill May Ask

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—Chili must express her regrets for the assault upon the sailors of the Baltimore and pay to the families of the murdered seamen a snug indemnity. She must do this within two weeks. IJer refusal will mean war with the United States.

Watching the New Mail.of-War. The Chilian man-of-war Capitan Pratt, now at Toulon, will not be permitted to leave that port until this diilieulty has been settled. An oflieer of the navy is now watching the Capitan 1'ratt, aud he reports to this government every stroke of work which puts that formidable cruiser nearer i-a service, In safe time, before it is possible to place the l'ratt "in commission, the United States will declare war, if at that time the demand for apology and indemnity made by this government on the authorities at Santiago shall remain uucomplied with. :.

SigliN of Trouble.

While the department officials continue to deny vocifcrous'y that there, are any preparations making for possible hostilities with t'iilli it 'oecotnes hourly more evident that their statements must, to use a very moderate expression, be accepted with groat caution. The fact is, every bo ly hero recogni/. that preparation.1 are being made, and arc being pushed to the utmost capacity of every department. Assistant Soley's denial of any unusual activity at the Washington navy yard is met by the fact that work was dono there Sunday and that all the shops were running over time. It is also true. that two 10-ineh guns l:: v«i just been shipped to San KrancUco i: be mounted o-i the old monitor u'he, now at Mure island. The new 1 i:ich gnu lias been shipped to San l'ranciseo without remaining at the Indian head proving grounds for the statutory test—a most unusual circumstance. The department has ordered a shipment of •T.J,000 pounds of prismatic powder and 11,000 0-inch shells from the League island navy yard, I'liiladelphia, to San Francisco. ^The ('oimitaiHlei'M.

It is believed that Adm'ral lilicrardi will'assume command of the entire fleet when it assembles in Chilian waters. Til-": news that Gen. Sliles is on his way to Washington from Chicago is interpreted here to mean that Gen. Miles will be placed in command of the land forces. Despite all denial every' order of the war department shows how recruits are being hurried from the east to western points to replace troops who will be shipped to Chili, if necessary. These troops, it is expected, will leave the United States from several points. The majority of them, of course, will embark from San Francisco, while others can be shipped from Galveston and Key West. Fortunately, our treaty stipulations with the United States of Colombia permit us to forward troops and munitions of war over the l'anama railway, which extends from Aspinwall on the Atlantic side to tlic ancient city of l'anama on the Pacific side.

Would Prevent a IVar l)4*clurHllon. Chili has not yet asked for arbitration, but it is known here that it is likely to do so. If arbitration of the differences of the two countries is asked for, the Chilian advisers argue shrewedly that the United States congress will never allow war to be declared because Chili has refused to comply with the demand of President Harrison for an apology and indemnity for the Haltiiuore affair.
