and taking care ot property has led largely to
the organization o'f trust companies.

TIIE CHARLESTON AND THE OH AHA IK
PURSUIT OF THEITATA,
Some Inside Facts In Relation to tho
Chilian Revolution The Greed of
Gold Said to be Iiisptrinc: the War,
Ban Fuamisco, May 11. Itis positively
stated that when tho cruiser Charleston
sailed Saturday morning it was under
sealed orders. A cipher dispatch was re
ceived by Captain Jtcmy at midnight
Friday. It took over threo hours to trans
lato the dispatch, and at 4 o'clock in the
morning all visitors were ordered ashore
and the Charleston hastily put to sea. The
Charleston is provisioned and coaled for o
long cruise, and instead of going outsidcto
try her guns, as was the general supposi
tion, it is staled she has gone in pursuit of
the Chilian steamer itnta, with orders to
capture her. If tho Charleston does not
catch hor, the orders arc said to be to keep
on until Admiral Drown is encountered
in Chilian waters.
Transfer of arms, ammunition, etc.,
from the Schooner Robert and Minnie to
the Itata was not completed until Friday
afternoon, so that the insurgent vessel has
n start of thirty-six hours. The Charles
ton has not yet returned to this port, as
sho would have doilo by this time, if she
had .gone outside simply for target
practice.
At tho Nuy.v Department.
Commodore Ramsey was asked direct
questions by 11 CiitTic-RKConn representa

vessels in connection with tho Itata affair.
His answer was: "I am not at liberty to
say yea or nay. Idisllkn to appear dis

Inslilo Vacts About tho Clilliim Situa
tion. "Do 3'ou want the inside facts in con
nection with tho Chilian affair?" asked a
prominent attache of one of the South
American legations of a Citmc-ltucoiui
reporter this morning. Tho reporter
cocked his ear to windward, nodded as
sent, and the gentleman proceeded:
"The arms which were transferred from
the Robert and Minnie to the Itnta, the
vessel of the Chilian Insurgents, were the
property of W. It. Grace A- Co. of New
York. Tho contest now raging in the
Chilian republic between President Hal
maceda and the insurgents was inspired
nnd is the direct outcome of a rivalry be
tween Grace ,fc Co. and the largo Kuglish
syndicate of which Colonel North is the
head. The Kuglish people own the nitre
beds in .Chili and Grace owns ihi im
mense guano beds of Peru. Grace is trying
to secure control of the nitre beds, but as
1 he present Government is friendly to
North, his only hope of obtaining the
concessions he- desired was to foment a
revolt against tho present Government in
order to overthrow it. Willi that object
in view his naents have been for months
at work planting the seeds of the present
rebellion. He furnished n great deal of
the money necpsMiryTu carry on the war
witli.thc understanding that if it was suc
cessful North should be driven out and ho
should have control of the nitre, beds.
His conspiracy has been going on for
months. Three weeks ago Grace himself
was out on the Pacific Coast personally
superintending tho arrangement for the
receipt and Miipmeut of the insurgent arms
to Chili. That is the milk in the cocoa
nut. I don't think Grace is amenable to
any law, but this Government must be
come internationally responsible for
Grace's infraction of the neutrality laws."

Carnegie Music Hall, is still in this city,
stopping at tho residence of ills son-in-law,
WalterDamrosch, 72 West Seventieth
street. His intention when he camo to
New York was to remain only a few days.
It Is stated that his protracted stay is duo J
to a scveto attack of indigestion with
which lie was seized on Friday last. His
son-in-law stated last nisht that Mr.
Ulaine was at no time seriously ill. He
could not s-ny how long lie would stay,
but supposed he would remain uutil lie

Ills Condition Alnrmliig.
Ni:w York, May 11. Drs. Jane way and
Dennis, it is learned, aro in attendance on
Mr. Dluinc. They were with him for
some time ycslcrdav. They believe that
the recent overwork on the part of the
Secretary is mainly attributable for his
present indisposition. The Secretary, the
doctors say, needs rest. The following
bulletin was issued last night:
"Dr. Jancwny and Dennis say that Mr,
Dluine is prostrated by overwork, and that
he has had an acute attack of indigestion,
accompanied by vertigo, and they have
Insisted on absolute quiet, nnd rest."
Dr. Dennis stated to a United Press re
porter last night, when usked if there was
any cause lor apprehension, that It was
impossible to say as yet. Vntil he visited
the patient today, he could say nothing
definite. -Mr. Ulaine had been confined
to his bed since lie was attacked and has
only been able to leave it ti few hours at u
lime.

Nr.w York, May 11. The condition of
Secretary of Slate, Ulaine who is reported
ill at the house of his son-in-law, Dr.
Danuosch, 'i West Seventieth street, was
repoitcd this morning to be much im
proved. His illness was due to an acute attack
of indigestion, from which he is recover
ing. Mr. Ulaine expects to be able to
leave this city in a couple of days.
IMr. liluluo Now In No Ditngm-.
Nr.w York, May 11. Dr. Dennis called
nt the house of Mr. Damrosch to-day and
made an examination of his distinguished
alicnt. He subsequently staled to the
United Press reporter that there was
nothing alarming in the symptoms of Mr.
Dlaine, or his pent condition. Rest was
all ho rciiuiml to bring him around. Tho
only medicine prescribed was pepsin, and
that was to relievo the attack ol indiges
tion from which Mr. Ulaine is suffering.
Mis. lilainc was also seen. SI10 said:
"Mr. Ulaine is still confined to his bed.
Ho is resting quietly and there is no
danger whatever. In fact lie is almost well.
His attending physician lias advised him
lo rest and not to return to Washington
to-day. The Secretary would return to
the Capital if I would permit it, but, in
view of tho doctor's advice, I would not
let him go under any circumstances, for
if anything should happen I would feel
that 1 was lo blame. Since the President's
absence Mr. Ulaine lias been work
ing very hard and the fact is
that he was called upon to look
after all the affairs of the Department of
State. I attribute tho present attack lo
Mr, Dlaino's having hurried over lo this
city to see his daughter oft for Kurope,
and thus getting out of his regular daily
routine." Mrs, lihiino denied that the
Secretary had had another attack of
vertigo. lie has had 110 fainting spells,
she said, and his mind is perfectly clear.
The attending physician will not call
again to-day unless sent fur.
Mrs. Dnmroch'M Statement.
New York, May 11. Mrs. Datnrusch,
speaking of her father' condition, said:
"Mr. Ulaine is very much better this
morning. He had a splendid rest last
night, the first good rest he lias had since
Thursday. Ho is quite able to travel to
day and intended to leave for Washington
thfs afternoon, but he is enjoying his rest
so much to-day and seems to derive so
much benefit irom it, that lie hits con
cluded, on tho advice of Dr. Dennis, to
remain until to-morrow afternoon and
possibly until Wednesday,
"Ho ate ills breakfast of tenderloin and
boiled egg with an excellent appetite, and
I havo just been preparing a spring
chicken for his luncheon. Tho first fow
hot days are always trying to my father,
and this fact, coupled with tho attack of
indigestion, has pulled him down a little,
but It is scarcely serious enough to spn.ik
of nt length. Hull, as tho mutter is being
talked of, tho exact truth may as well be
known.
"Mr. Maim will take Ills vacation a
