SHE WAS HEAVILY ARMED. A United States Deputy Marshal Win Carried Ofi‘ on Her and the Pilot , Had Guns at. His Head—The Reb- ert and Minnie Disappears- SAN DIEGO, Cal, May 8.—The steamship Itata, which was seized yesterday by the United States marshal, got away in the evening, taking United States Deputy Marshal Spencer, who was on board, with her. She quietly lifted her anchors and coolly steamed down the bay and out into the ocean. The departure of the Itata was not unexpected, though it was not sup- posed thet she would leave as soon as she did. It was rumored late in the afternoon . that she was preparing to leave the harbor. At 5 o’clock the captain’s gig, which had ofi for the vessel with six men aboard, and as soon as the boat was hoisted to the deck the Itata weighed her anchor and steamed down the bay. Marshal Gard was not aware that the captain had any intention of disregarding his authority, fur he left for Point Loma in the launch Tia Juana, just one hour ahead of the big steamer, and had passed the point and proceeded some distance out to see before he could have been aware that the Itata. was follow- ing him. Marshal Gard’e Errand. Marshal Gard’s errand on his second trip out of the harbor was to take the schooner Robert and Minnie, anywhere she might be found in the Open seas outside of Mexi- can jurisdiction, as a piratical craft. The marshal’s launch left the wharf at 4 o’clock. Besides Marshal Gard, there were aboard A. C. Spaulding, of San Francisco; A. M. Conoughy, Captain Crawford and four soldiers from the barracks, armed with rifles and ammunition belts, who had been detailed to go on the expedition at the request of Matshal Gard. It is known that the marshal received instructions from Washington that he had authority to take the Robert and Minnie on the high seas under the neutrality and piracy laws, but who these orders were issued by could not be ascertained. Marshal Gard was very reticent when questioned on this point, simply saying he meant business, and he intended to bring the schooner back if he came up to her. At 4 o’clock Wednesday morning Marshal Gard and party left for the Coronado isl- ands, where the Robert and Minnie was last seen on Tuesday. Just outside a sail appeared, which the tug made for. As soon as her master saw the Tia Juana he put aboutaud ran south, in order, it is supposed, to get into Mexican waters be fore he Was overhauled. He Got There Too Late. The meeting place of the schooner and tug was two and one-half miles south oi the international line and about fifteen miles southwest of Point Loma. The tug passed to windward of the Robert and Minnie, and those aboard had a good chance to observe her closely. On her stern were the words “Robert and Minnie; San Francisco.” The schooner was sailing under fore and mainsails, with no jib 0! topsails, and was so heavily laden: that she made but slow progress. There were but four of her crew visible, and these watched the movements of the tug through a glass. The schooner being in Mexican waters, Marshal Gard returned to port to telegraph for instructions. » There has at no time been any real doubt in the minds of those best informed that the ammunition which the Robert and Minnie carried was intended for the Chil- ian transport, and that it would be trans- ferred to the hold of the Itata for use by the insurgents as soon as the steamer ob- tained what supplies she needed in port. It is definitely known that communica tions have passed between Captain Fer- rall, of the schooner, and Captain Mau- zeum, of the Itata, both while the Robert and Minnie was at Catalina and since her arrival off this harbor. The Chilians laid their plans well and they were carried out to the letter, regardless of the interference of the United States authorities. Armed to tife Teeth. Thursday morning, just after midnight, Marshal Gard and party returned from outside and reported that the Robert and Minnie had completely disappeared. The deputy marshal, who had been placed on a. small boat at the entrance to the harbor to watch for developments, reported that when the Itata started out Pilot Dill was sandwiched between two armed Chilians, while four cannon guarded both how and stern. ' He reports that at least eighty Chilians were drawn up in line on the decks, showing that while the vessel was in port she was plentifully supplied with men, arms and ammunition. While here she displayed only one small cannon and a crew of about sixty men. The deputy reports that when the vessel left the hat: bor she turned north and steamed to- ward San Clemente. Balmaceda Won’t Negotiate. Advices from Valparaiso say that Presi- dent Balmaceda has rejected the demands of the insurgent delegates who have been attempting to bring about some under- standing with him by which internecine strife might be terminated. The peace ne- gotiations are therefore completely rup'i tured, and there appears :10 other alterna. tive than a renewal of the desolatiug struggle which has racked Chili for so many months. President Balmaceda has giveunotice oi the withdrawal from circulation of the bank notes. The withdrawal will be ef- fected at the rate of 10 per cent. monthly. Payment of impost duties in silver will also be demanded by the president. Chilian Ironclads Held by France. IQUIQUE, May 8.—The news is confirmed that the French government prevented the sailing of the ironclads President Er- razuriz and the President Pinte, owned by the Chilian government. The South American steamships Laja and Lantaro are sailing under the British flag for pro- tection. Mackay’s Suit Stopped. NEW YORK, May 8.—'1‘he suit of John W. Mackay, the millionaire, against Cassius H. Reed and Edward S. Stokes, composing the firm of Reed & Co., proprietors of the Hoffman House, to recover $352,597.78, the was set down for Thursday in the United States circuit court, abruptly terminated by the plaintiff declining to proceed, as the jurisdiction of the court was doubted on account of the transaction occurring be- tween residents of the same state. been lying at the foot of H street, pulled] _ passenger trains, 'ner. .tate dealer-,Iiving-at 638 West Madison amount of a promissory note, and which: HOMEWARD 'BOUND. The Presidential Party Fairly Started on the Return Trip. . GHEHALis, Wash. ,, May 8.‘—'l?he presiden- tial train passed through here and the crowd, which had 6 brass band and bon- fires to assist them in their welcome. The president made a, short speech, which Was, greeted with applause and waving of hats and handkerchiefs. A vestibule trainpis a novelty in this region, and the appearance of a dining. car, a. . barber’ shop and other elegant appliances of an eastern train were novelties to excite admiration and wonder. As the train started on its journey three cheers and a. tiger were given. The presi- dent is now truly homeward bound, and as his face turns toward the east the sUn once more greets him and clear Weather welcomes him. For the next two day's the president is. going to have a comparatively quiet time. He will have no long stop till he reaches Boise City, Ida., Friday morning, at 2 o’clock. There he stops for several hours, and then takes up his journey t9 Salt Lake, reaching there Saturday morning at 8 o’clock. He may have to make speeches at several places, but there will be no fa- tiguing programme to go through with. This will be greatly enjoyed by the presi- dent, for, although he has taken pleasure in all the welcomes and demonstration: given him en route, they naturally have tired him greatly and he welcomes a day or two of rest. HIS WIFE WANTED THE EARTH. But the Methods She Employed Drove ‘ Him to. Suicide. CHICAGO, May 8.——Cassius M. Werner. forty-six years old, on iron molder, hanged himself in a room at McEwau’s hotel, 81 to 95 West Madison street, yesterday. Pinned to his coat- was found the following note, dated May 4: To whom it may concern: As to the causes which led up to this: My wife lives at 173 North May street, upper flat. She wanted the earth, and although I worked every day, never drank anything, and she got every. cent of my payas fast as earned, she put the money in suburban lots in her own name, without my knowing any- thing about it. This went on for four or five years, when I found it out. Then things got rapidly worse, and culminated the let of June, 1890, when she drove me out of the house at the point of a. revolver. I bought and paid for, and it stands in my name, lot 290, sec tion B, Rose Hill cemetery. The only request is to get the deed from Mrs. Werner and bury me by my children. CAssms M. WERNER, Born 1845, Winnebago county, Ills. Mrs. Werner stated last night that her husband spent all his money in gambling, and deserted her a year ago. A Chronic Trunnt. CHICAGO, May 8.——Johnny Toomey, the twelve-year—old lad who a year ago ran away from home and was not found until fourteen weeks afterward, has again dis- appeared. N 0 one appears to know where he has gone. but it is thought he is proba— bly in St. Louis, which city he has fre- quently declared his desire to visit. Last summer he boarded a. train and ran away, his wanderings extending from Chicago to the eastern seaports and into Canada. He gives as his reason for running away last year that he simply desires to see the country. He beats his way on freight and and makes friends wherever he goes. Johnny is- a. precocious appearing boy, rather tall for his age, hav- ing blue eyes and darkrhair. At the corner of his right eye is a scar, caused by a. broken bottle, and on his left arm is a star tat? ‘ tooed. He is a. voluble talker, and tells any kind of a story in a convincing man- His father is a. well known real es- street. The boy left home, one week ago Monday. - ‘ . , - A Foolhardy lilan’s Awful‘Denth. NEWPORT, Ark, May 8.-—Peter Smith, oi Fisher, 3. station on the Cotton Belt rail- way, twenty miles south of here, has been ' in the habit of riding a. fast horse ahead of apassenger train on the track for about half a mile to a. crossing, where he would turn and laughs at the trainmen as the train sped by. His success in defeating the train to the crossing on his horse en- couraged him to try it with a mule. Yes- terday be mounted his mule, and as the train started up Peter set out ahead at full gallop. It soon became evident that the mule was not swift enough to reach the crossing in time. The train continued to gain on him very fast, and when within half a dozen yards of the crossing the mule stumbled and fell; It rolled Off the rails, but Smith was run over by the train. His head was cut Off and both legs were cut from his body and scattered along the road for some distance. El Paso Inundated. EL PAso, Tex., May 8.—Rio Grande con- tinues to rise. The low part of the city fronting on the river is already under wa- ter, and the tracks of the El Paso Interna- tional Street Car company have been washed away in several places, but the new International Street Car line is still running. About fifty Mexican families have been compelled to leave their homes, which are under water. It is thought that the International smelter will have to close down, as it is now surrounded by water, which is rising rapidly. The street car company’s stables are inundated. It is believed that the flood will do great damage to orOhards, vineyards and farms in the valley below El Paso. The Eliminated Counts. NEW YORK, May. 8.——District Attorney N icoll secured leave from Judge Van Brunt Thursday to re-argue the motion in the case of the New Haven railroad direc- tors by which Judge Van Brunt last week struck counts five and seven of the indict- ments, and virtually held that indicted persons can inquire into the evidence of the grand jury, on which an indictment is based. It was further decided by Judge Van Brunt that the re—argumeut of the motion andthe argument on the demurrer interposed to the indictment should take place at the same time and would be dis posed of by him together. Argument was then begun. A Disastrous Fire. WINONA, Minn, May 8.-—Winona was visited by another disastrous fire last night, when the entire plant of the Schrothe & Ahrens Mill company was destroyed. The mill, warehouse and three blocks of lum- ber were burned. The fire started in the wheelpit in the planing mill and spread rapidly, being only stopped by the bound- aries Of the lumber yards.
