Tho Chilian Rebels Seem to be Victorious In Kvery En-gagement. Tie Chileo Arohipeligo Taken Porsessipn of by the War Vessels of the Insurgents, ALMOST EVEEY POST BLOOKADED, President Halinaeeda Has Ills 'Willingness to Make Terms. The Rebels Insist That He Must Resign or the War Will Go On. SOME COMPROMISE IS PROBABLE. A Sharp Kngag.ment llatwean Marine Which Resulted In a OoTaroru.nl Defeat. Buenos Aykes, Jan. 31. War news continues to filter from Chili into this republic, but it must be admitted that the information received seems to come ' in the main from sources favorable to the insurgents and unfavorable to the Chilian government. Valdivia port, or Corral, and the sea-port town of Valdivia, sixteen miles from the mouth of the Callacalla river, is now blockaded by the war vessels nf the insurgents. The insurgents' war-ships are also blockading the island of Chileo and the Chileo arohipeligo. Their ships are patrolling the gulf of Ancud, thus cutting off all connection between the island and mainland. One rebel vessel is lying off Ancud, the capital of the island of Chileo. Insur-gent marines from that vessel have oc- - cupied Ancud. Tho Chileo archipelago consists of about sixty small islands, with a popu-lation of 80,000 souls. The insurgent warship which an-chored off Ancud recently left that place in charge of marines and had loaded and steamed away to capture " another port. While this vessel was absent a ship having government troop-ers on board appeared off Ancud. She hoisted the BritSsh flag and tried to land the troops she had on board. The . insurgents, however, detected the strat-ge-aud opened fire upon the govern-ment vessel. The latter replied with a v rapid tire of guns and small arms, but aflet a sharp engagement the govern ment vessel was disabled and had to Jeve the port of Ancud in the hands of the victorious insurgents, v vjj FpesidenliJaltnaoeaa is Bow-!id.t- o ' I , ; have announced his willingness to ne-- r A "i t0,l,t?

Sarah Bernhardt and her company arrived today on the Cham-pagne from France. It took consider-able time to get her fifty well-tille-trunks ashore. Bernhardt will begin her tour, which will last nearly two years, at the Garden theater, tomorrow night, appearing in "La Tosca." The season here is limited to live weeks. "La Tosca" will hold the boards one week and it will be followed by "Cleopatra," "Theodora," "Fedora" and "Joan d'Arc." Among her effects Bernhardt had an asp and a huge whito, spotted with black, Danish boar-honn- Bernhardt's brilliant com-plexion was stiikingly attractive, and evoked the envy of her fair visitors Just before leaving France she had set all Paris crazy with her African com-plexion. The cosmetic she uses is a concoction of her own. It has been the dream of her life to play Cleopatra, and for years she had neon collecting jewels, girdles, armlets, bracelets and necklaces. Every dress consists of a diaphanous piece of material, seven yards long, embellished with metallic or silk emhroidery. This long strip of gauze is wound and draped about her lithsome form and held in place at the hips, belt and shoulders with mag-nificent fasteners, brooches ond girdles incrusted with stones of every conceiv-able shade. Through the garment the jewels, buckles and embroideries used to ornament and secure aa undergar-ment, shimmer and shine. One dress, an Egyptian robe, is a most wonderful creation. The material in itself is of Sold colored gauze, applioued with a of laurel leaves. The belt of pearls and turquoises that holds the delicate fabric at the waist also secures a barbaric drapery at the hips made of a tiger's skin. For a head dress she wears a skull cap of pearls fringed with coral and turquoises. AMOUCTAINWAR Bloody and Lawless West Vir-ginia the Scene of Another Fatal Feud.

The officer went to West Union and secured warrants for the ringleaders and summoned a large posse aud re-turned to tho mountains, surrounded the house in which the leaders had taken refuge and demanded their sur-render.

Boise, Idaho, Jan. 31. Special to Tiik Timks. In the house l his morn-ing the agricultural college bill, locating the same in northern Dakota, at Lewis-ton- , came up for final action as unfin-ishe-business. A motion was made to refer it to the committee of the whole, created debate for an hour. Other towns have not yet presented their claims, and this was done to gain time and also allow them to present their claims. It was a pretty move and took tho Lewiston people unawares. They fought hard for immediate action but there are so many aspirants that the motion prevailed. It is believed no point will be settled upon this session. A bill was introduced by Romsey to encourage agriculture by making the day following the first day of May in each year as arbor day. A resolution was passed regarding the death of Secretary Windom and that the flag on the state house be placed at half mast until after the funeral.

Thar Kiel In lleauty All nt Their Histers in the Old World. RudyaTit Kipling In the Courier Journal. Sweet and comedy are the maidens of Devonshire; doKeato and of gracious seeming, those who live in the ploasant places of London; fascinating for all their demurences, the damsels of France, clinging closely to their mothers and with large eyes wondering at the Wiekr.d world; excellent in her own place and to those who understand her is the Anglo-India- n "spin in her second season; but the girls of America are above and beyond them all. They are clever, thev can fulk ven it ia xnicl that they think. Certainly they have an appearance of so doing which is de-lightfully deceptive. They are original and regard you between the brows with unabashed eyes, as a sister might look at her brother. They are instructed, too, in tho folly and vanity of the male mind, fur thoy have associated with "the boys," from babyhood, und can discerningly minis-ter to both vice or pleasantly snub the possessor. They possess, moreover, a life among thomselv es, independent of any masculine associates. They have societies and clubs and unlimited tea fights, where all the guests are girls. They are without parting with any tenderness that is their sex right; they understand; they can take care of themselves; they are superbly independent. When yoU ask them what make them so charming they say; 'It is because we are better edncated than your girls, and and we are more sensible in regard, to men. We har e good times all aro und, but we aren't taught to regard every man as possl' ble husbautU No is he expected to marry the lirttt girl nVcalls u roguj" larly." Yes, they, have good times, 'heir freedom is large and they do not abuse it. They can go drive with young men and receivo visits from young men to an extent that would make an En-glish mother wink with horror, and neither driver nor driveo have a thought beyond the enjoyment of a good time. As certain, also, of their own poets have said: Man Is nra and woman Is tnw. And the devil comes and to Mow. In American the tow is soaked in a solution that makes it fireproof, in ab-solute liberty and large knowledge; consequently accidents do not exceed the regular percentage arranged by the devil for each clas and climate un-der the skies. But the freedom of tho young girl has its drawbacks. She is 1 say it with all reluctance irrever-ent from her forty dollars bonnet to the buckle in her eighteen dollars shoes. She talks flippantly to her parents and men old enough to be her grandfather. She has a prescriptive right to the soci-ety of the man who arrives. The par-ents admit it. This is sometimes em-barrassing especially when yon call on a man aud his wife for information the oue being a merchant of varied knowledge, tne other a woman of the world. In five minutes your host has vanished. In another five minutes his wife has followed him, and you are left alone with a very charming maiden, doubtless, but certainly not the person you came to see. Sho chatters and you grin but yon leaves with a very strung impression of a wasted morning. This has been my experience one or twice. I have eveu said as pointed as I dared to a man: "I came to see yon." "You'd bettct see mo in my office, then. The house belongs to ray women folk to my daughter, that is to say." He spoke the truth. The American of wealth is owned by his family. They exploit him for bullion. The women get the ha' hence, the kicks are all his own. Nothing is too good for an American's daughter (I speak here of the moneyed classes). The girls take every gift as a matter of course, anil yet tney develop greatly when a catastrophe arrives and the man of many millions goes up or goes down, and his daughter takes to steno-graphy or typewriting. I have heard many tales of heroism from the lips of girls who counted the principals among their friends. Tho crash came, Minnie or Hattie or Sadie gave up her maid, her carriage and candy, and with a No. 2 Remington and a stout heart and set about earning theij daily bread, "And did I drop her from the list of my friends? No, sir," said a scarlet-lippe-vision in white lace; "that mighl hap- - pen to us any day." TO TEST THE M'KINLEY ACT. Unit on Import.r. will Join with tha 4 hlrago Klrker. ' Boston, Jan. 31. The Commercial Bulletin says a syndieata of lmportem has been formed under the leadership of Jordan Mark and company to test the legality of the McKinley bill. They will act in concert with the Chicago importers and upon the same line. ATTACKS ON BANCROFT. Animosity of the French I'rau He 1 Called an Knetny of France. Pahi.s. Jan. 81. Tho newspapers here contain the bitterest remarks con-cerning the lale Mr. Bancroft's conduct while he was minister at Berlin during the France-Prussia- war. Count Keratry, writing in the Figaro, calls him an enemy of France, because he prevented the United States interven-ing in the conflict in behalf of the ag-gressor. POLITICS AT MANTI. The Citizen. Party will Olve the Old School a Hard Fight. Manti, Utah, Jan. 31. Special to The Times. The excitement in politi-cal circles continues to run high. Both factions of the peoples' party have nominated complete tickets for filling the fourteen municipal offices. The citizens or s men are headed by the Hon. F. R. Kenncr as candidate for mayor, while the only original Simon pure peoples' ticket has the name of Ezra Shomaker under the chief official cognomen. On the citizens ticket appears the names of young men who have been schooled in that splendid American in-stitution, the Manti Civil Government class. The bishops band, true to primitive principles, consists princi-pally of men whose religious qualifica-tions are their best recommendations. ., Th liberals have no ticket and no hlnve will he made to place any , ticket in the field, : At present the noses wiiiit about equal and the light will be a hard one. v NEWS FROM THE CAPITOL.

This they failed to do.
