Commodore llnmsay nnd As sistant Secretnry Holoy this morning would neither nfllrm nor deny tho stntomont that Ad miral Ghorardl had sailed with his squadron for tho South I'nclflo from rort-nu-rrlnco. They paid thnt tho Philadelphia nml Concord nro not nt Port-nu-rrlncu. but nddod that they didn't know whoro they are. Tlio Kcnrsnrco Is still at Tort-au-rrlnce. but Is expected to follow In a few dnys. As to tho ordor to Ad miral Ohernrdl to take command of tho floet. It is snld that it is contingent upon hostilities actually breaking out, nnd that ho is to take command only In enso ot war. Commodoro llnmsny paid thnt tho department sont n mes sago to Admiral Ohernrdl yesterday which failed to reach-Jilm. ho having loft Tort-nu-l'rlnco boforo It nrrived there. Ot this move ment of his, Commodoro lUmsny snld, tho de partment had not been notified. Ho would not spenk. howevor. of tho naturo of tho senorni orders Issued to Admiral Ghorardl. Tho Commodoro was asked If ho knew, or if tho dernrtmont had beon advised, of the des tination of tho throo Chlllnn cruisers that n Valparaiso despatch said hadsnlled from thero under senled orders. Ho said It wns not true that tho crulsors had left Valparaiso ns re ported. Only ono vessel had gone, tho l'smor alda. and her mission wns to relievo tho stoara er.Tnhn Elder, wrecked 1"." miles south of Valparaiso, and not In tho Straits of Magellan, as the press despatches said. Thn Esmeralda dopiutnd at about midnight, which fact, prob ably, tho Commodore said, gave riso to tho ro poit that ho hail snlled lor some unknown destination. Hor orrand of mercy hnd boon acciimplUdicd. nnd stin returned to Valpnraiso jostorduy. ns thn Navy Department had boon Informed liyCnpt. Evans. Thn sailing of the Yorktown from Valparaiso for Cnllao last night, mndo public by tho Navy Department tn-ihty, carrying tho ltalmacodii relucees, is construed l,y oilleials. In the ab .sence of iiiformutlon tn tho contrary, to mean that tho Chilian Government persisted ln Its refusal to give thn refugees snfo conduct, and that tlioir only safety lay In transport by tho 1'mted States vessel. Tho departure of tho Yorktown takes tlio only vessel of tho United states from tho harbor, and Secretary Tracy said to-night that no othni-vessel had beon or dered to take her plaeo thoro. The Navy Department lias ordered tho old slugle-tuiret monitors, which have for years tjeen lving"in ordinary" nt tho Naval Acad emy nnd in IhoJiimesltivor nt Richmond, to tho Norfolk Nny Yard todetermlno their fitness for use In enso of noeossltv.

The Milrited reply of Commnndor Evans of the Yorktown to the notification from tho Chilian Minister for Eorolcu Affairs that ho hnd changed Ills mind In regard to allowing refugee tn lenu Chill unmolested, has mado manv persons, curious to know something about tliatofllepr. Commander Evans Is called "l'lghtlng Itob." Ho was appointed to tho nay from Utah ns an ncting midshipman in IKiio. was made Ensign In lH'i;t.

Tho story goes that emu 11 to- 'oiniuiiiider Ewius was wounded Im was i'llnnnnil t,y n surgeon that it would bo ip'cess.ny in amputate his leg. Evans hworo ho would never sutunltto the operation, and. niv.u-ding to tlio account popular about tlio Navy Department, he placed arnvolerto tho surgeon's head nnd threatened to shoot him it any iitteun t nt nmnutntion wore made. Tho leg was not amputated, but it was so badly in jured that it left Commander Evans n cripple for life. Iln successfully resisted attempts to plaeo him on the retired list on account of his disability, and served for many years on shore dutv. Dpspito his crippled condition Com mander Evans in a good sailor, and seems to earn moro f,.r netivo servico than for duty on shore. He stands well up near the head of the list of Commanders.

Tlio fact that Secre tary nnd Mrs. Blnino gnvo n dinner this evon ing In honor of tho President nnd Mrs. Har rison is referred to with much conlldonco ns a refutation of tho report that thero is a serious disagreement botweon the Presldont and tlio premier of his Cablnot. Tho invitations to tlio dinner, however, worn issued nt least a week ago, so thoro is littlo signlflcanco In tho point. It Is stated to-day, ns it was stated last night, but with moro posltivencss and moro elabo ration of detail, thnt tho I'resldont and Secre tary ninlno hnvo beon working at cross pur poses almost since tho beginning of tho Chilian controversy, nnd that within tho last day or two tho relations of tho two men hnvo become so strained that outward nppearances of friendliness nio maintained with difficulty.

Tho Domocratlo Con vention city soekers opened up shnrp nnd enrly this morning with their booming, and thoy lmvo boomed awny nil day with tho in tensity of purpose clinractorlstlo of Domo cratlo contests. Pino HncBnro being drawn to-night by the various delegation manacors. nnd onch ono Is figuring out a sweeping victory for his own city on tho strength of " insldo In formation on n list ot socond-chotce prefer ences, you know." Until lato this evening, howover. loss than half the National Com mltteomon had nrrived. nnd bonce there wns a scnrclty of genuine rnw mntorlnl to work on. Those who wero hero were found to be decidedly non-commlttnl. No doubt thoy wore borod with tho anxious porslstenco ot tho entertaining boomers. Hut this evening's arrivnls hnvo brought tho number of committeemen or proxies prosont up to about forty, nnd now tho hand-to-hand encounters nro bolng hotly waged with tho determination of anover-go-to-bed spirit. Humors of vnr lous combinations aro topics of oxcltcd discussion nnd hasty oonforencos. The two rumors most persistently talkod ot nro: ono thnt Chicago Is on still hunt with n tip -from the New York dologatlon that they will start tho stampodo for tho big WesUirn city: tho other that Cincinnati's managers hnd completed a deal with Hill. Gorman, and Ilrlce. in which tho snmo Tam many tnflunnco would bo used to send tho Convention to tho Queen City. New Yorkers hnvo had to ropoatedly protost the sincerity of tholr fight for Now Y'ork. Ronator Brlco. tho National Commlttoe Chairman, said to Tub Sun reporter: " Tho impression has been quito generally current that tho Domocratlo Convention should go to the plaeo that can most satisfactorily nceom modatosuch a huge political gathering, and thnt cither New York or Chlengo should bo chosen. That impression lias gained ground to-day. I flud, nevertheless, that there are good reasons for believing thnt tho Conven tion will lm located in somo othor city. Tho late urrlval of the committeemen has mndo it difficult to discover u. decisive trend of opinion In favor of nny city. There is no doubt that thn delegations of citizens from tho lesser Western cities have nuido marked progress in convincing us of their capabilities for accom modating our Convention." Knnsns City boomers seem to have easily distanced tho other Western contestants in to day's booming. With them thero Is less of tho "Hurrah boys" style and more "lino Insltloar pnment with cold facts." us ono mom her of tho National Committee put it. Tho Ml'sourinns urn using heavy guns and nr working as a unit Asld" from thn htato dignitaries who head tho delegation, there tiro two men who, more tlinn any ono else, have won laurels from their linn effective work Witten McDonald, tho wealthy llnaneierwho hasjustwon control of tho Kansas City 7'ime., and Judge Gibson, n loading Democratic candidnto for Governor. Through their efforts tho big party leudors have givon ear to Kansas City s appeal, on pocltlvo assurances. Ilrst, of excellent facil ities for accommodating tho Convention, and. second, that no malign Influences will exist there against any candidate. "Missouri Is for party success over tho am bitions ot any man." said Mr. McDonald: "and ns to accommodations, our facts and our bonds are simjily unimpeachable." The Milwnukeo forces havo been somewhat dnmorallred. it is said, by the offorts of the Vilas faction to offset the talk about promises looking toward a Hill Convention. They have been very busy, however, entertaining tho committeemen ns fast as they arrived, and are claiming the prizo on tho third ballot, when tlioy oxjiecttlio bt. PnuIItes to come over to them. Thero is sorao talk of n sort of olfenslvn and dofon-ivo alliance between St. Paul nnd Milwaukee against the Southern combination. Tho Hoosier folks regard their prospects with great complaeencv. nnd insist that tho leaders havo already givon their word to re gard Indianapolis as tlio most desirublo plaeo on which to compromise. Tlio Detroit boomersorrlvcd earlythls morn ing, but are not booming to any considerable extent. They have a lino delegation, headed by the Democratic Governor of tho Republican Statu nnd tlm Republican Mayor ot tho Dernocratlo city of Detroit. They did not write tor accommodations In time to get Into tho Arlington, so they are at tho Ebbott, ilvo blocks away. Eun thero they have no headquarters, but keep open houso niter a fashion at a newspaper office. Detroit Is n lino city to boom, but there Is no life In tho present effort, nnd the tieautiful "City of tho Mrnlt" does not seem to bo in the race to any gi eat extent. Among htatements mado In the interests of St. Paul Is the following, printed in a locnl pa per this morning.
