THE L.ATi:sr MESSAGE. t The Presideni Satisfied with Chile's Present Attitude. j Washington, Jan. 21.In transmit- i ting the latest correspondence with Chile to the two houses ofcongress the president accompanies it with a short message in the course of which he says: "The response of Mr. Periera to our note of the 21st withdraws, with ac ceptable expressions of regret, the of fensive note of Mr. Matta of the 12th ult., and also the request for the recall of Mr. Egan. The treatment of the in cident of the assault upon the sailors of the Baltimore is so conciliatory and friendly that I am of opinion that there is a good prospect that the difference growing out of that serious affair can now be adjusted on terms satisf aetory to this government by the usual methods," and without speehd powers from con gress. This turn in the affair is very gratifying to me, as I am sure it will he to the congress and to our people." BLAINE and mostx. The Secretary Replies Vigorously to the Chilean Minister. The correspondence opens with a lengthy communication from Pedro Montt, the Chilean minister at Wash ington, to Secretary Blaine, under date of Jan. 23.. In this communication Min ister Montt asserts in respectful language that the Chilean government has no data authorizing it to think the Valparaiso quarrel was due to hostility to the United States, and that his government wanted to get at the truth of the matter. The criminal trial at Valparaiso was proceeding as rapidly as the custom of the country permitted. Senor Montt says, and he believes it will be clearly proven that the affair was nothing worse than a drunken row. which he and his govern ment '"deeply deplores." The Chilean minister defends the Matta note by say ing the-secretary shonld not take cog nigance of it since it is not addressed to this government. To this letter of Senor Matta Secre tary Blaine replies at length under date of Jan. 27. Tne following extracts are given: -"You are Eight in Baying that I con sidered the pre coedings of the govern ment ot Chile in making the judicial in vestigation of the unhappy affair at Val paraiso entirely praiseworthy. But you will remember that as early as the 25th of November I complained of the length of the judicial proceedings, and from time to time renewed the complaint. You replied that the Spanish law was slow in its processes but exact in its con clusions; and with your statements I had to be content, though impatient for a final judgment. "Your olfar of arbitration was never unconditionlf and exact. Had it been I would have insisted on your reducing it to writing, for it would have been my duty to lay it before the j resident for consideration. "The Matta note was highly dis courteous to the president and t lie secre tary of the navy, imputing to them un truth and insincerity. Such language does not admit of conditional or con tingent apology, which you offered. It could be apologized for only by a frank withdrawal. "Undoubtedly Chile has the right to urge Mr. Egan's recall, provided she assigns a reason. You are too well skilled in diplomatic usage to be re minded that when a nation is pleased to declare that when a minister is persona non grata, she is expected to assiirn a reason therefor. We have twice had occasion to ask Great Britain to recall her minister, ana m each case we gave a reason why the minister had ceased to be useful." THE AMENDE HONORABLE. Minister rereira's iterriy to tne Pres ident's Ultimatum. On Jan. 26 Secretary Blaine received from Minister Egan the following di natch: . Santiago. Jan. 25, 1892. To Blaine, Washington. ;I have today received the following reply to my note of the 22dinsK: Sir The undersigned has had the honor to receive vour excellency's com munication dated 22dinst.. received in this department the 23d, and the duly authenticated copies of the instructions which the honorable secretary of state of Washington has sent to your excel- lencv bv cable under dates of the 21st inst. and the 23d of October, 1891. In the "instructions of the 21st inst. the honorable secretary of the state informs vour excellency that his excellency, Mr. Harrison, after carefully examining all that has been submitted to him by the government of Chile, with re?peet to the fivent which occurred m V alparaiso on the evening of October 16, and taking into consideration the testimony of the officers and crew of the vessel Baltimore and of others who witnessed the event. has arrived at the following conclusions First That with regard to that as sault there has been no change what ever made in the character given to bv the first reuort ot the event, to wi That it was an attack upon the uniform of the navy of the United States, whien had its orierin and motive in a feeling of hostility towards that government, and not in anv act of the indi idual sapors belonirinff to it. Secondr-That the public authorities of Valparaiso evidently did not do their duty in protecting those sailors, and that a part of the police and some Chilean soldiers .and sailors rendered themselves truilty of unprovoked assaults- on the Bailors of the United States before and after the latter were arrested, and that he believes Riggln was killed by the police or soldiers; and, Third That he is consequently com Delled to carry the question back to the state in which it was placed bv the note of the Hon. Mr. Wharton, dated Oct. 23. and to aek for suitable satisfaction i and some adequate reparation lor tne 1 injury done the' government of the 1 United States. , Many references are made to the "hon orable secretary of state, Mr. Blaine,-" from whom Minister Pereira quotes at length. Regarding the assault on the Baltimore's men he asserts his firm be lief that it was the result of a drunken row, that the police arrested the sailors to save them from violence, and ; that the assault was not born of hos : tility to Americans, but admits that the occurrence of Oct. 10 was of greater gravity than those which ! usually occur in the same district be tween the sailors which frequent it, and j the fact of knowing that two deaths have resulted from it among the sixteen wounded men of the Baltimore has suf ficed to give it an extraordinary charac ter, and to induce tlie - government of Chi e to .hasten to adopt the measures : necassary to discover and punish the ' guilty parties, to offer in due time, if there should be ground for aO doingj such reparation as might le due. M The undersigned would remind you, ; referring to the conduct of the Valpa ! raiso authorities, that it appears from the preliminary examination that they 1 sent without delay to the scene of the connict ail me torces at their uisposai j belonging t. the special guard of the Intendencia and to the police. The undersigned thinks that the action orine pouce in cms matter snomu do leoiroaerea wim aue allowance or tne i nl war which bad recently been urongnx to a ciose. tie tx.uy was not J?1 properly organize!, nor iui u nave tne rorce tnat w:s required to pot down a disorder of such proportions in a short j time. j In this connection it is proper to re- , 11 .1. 1 . 1 1 I 1. 1 ,. iiuu worua uscu uy tue uuuuiauje secretary of state at Washington in his note addressed to the Marquis imperiali, and bearing date ot Aiay 21, l-VJl Fffere is no government, hower civilized it nip.y be, however snu may he the viftilance displayed by its police, and however severe its criininal'code may be, and however speedy and inflexible may be its administration of Justice, that can guarantee its ciiizens against violence growing out of individual malice or sudden popular tumult. This was precisely the situation of the administrative authorities at Valparaiso on the occasion of the occurrence which took place in October. It tne United States government should not accept the foregoing ex planations as satisfactory, notwithstand ing that the judicial authorities hold the guilty parties responsible for the dis order on Oct. 16, the undersigned must recall the circumstance that the jrovern- ment of t-hile, through the medium of its minister in Washington, has ex pressed the desire to submit any mis understanding (dispute) to decision by arbitration by any power or tribunal which may be indicated to it. The government of the undersigned called upon its minister for a definite ply on the 11th inst., and on the 10t h Minister Montt renlied that not withstanding certain observations made by the American state department with respect to the opportuneness of resorting to arbitration, he had nevertheless agreed with the honorable iur. lilaine that if any divergence of views or discord should supervene after the verdict of the judge of Valparaiso, such controversy would yield to arbitration. The under signed hastened to declare that ue would fully accept such an agreement. lnere is thereioie suomitteti to. tne honorable secretary of state of the ile partment of foreign relations of Wash ington the designation of either the su- reme court of itwtice of tke united States or a tribunal of arbitration to de termine the reparation which Chile may nave to make tor that lamentable occurrence. As for the dispatch addressed under date of Dec. 11 to the Chilean minister in Washington by the minister of for eign relations ot the provisional govern ment, the undersigned submits that there could not be on the part of the government ryf Chile the purpose to in dict any offense upon the government of the Luifsnl States, with which it dp sires ever to cultivate the most friendly relations. Consequently, the under signed deplores, through an error of judgment, the expressions which are of- fensive in the judgment of your gov ernment. Declaring in fulfillment of a high duty, cdartesy and sincerity towards a friendly nation that the government of C'biie absolutely withdrawn the said ex pressions, the unJtrsigned trusts that this frank and explicit declaration, which confirms that which bus already been made to the honorable secretary of st;itf; m Washington, wpi cany to the mind of his excellency. Mr. Harrison, of his government, that the people of Chile, tar from entertaining a feeling ot hostil ity, has the lively desire to maintain tin- Iterable the good and cordial relations between the two countriesa declara tion which is made without reservation, in oTder that it may receive such pub licity as your government may deem suitable. , Vv ith regard to the suggestion made touching the change of the personnel of your legation, to which the instructions of the honorable secretary of state refer, it is incumbent upon the undersigned to declare that the government of Chile wiil take no positive step without the accord of the government of the United States, with which it desires to main tain itself in friendly understanding. The undersigned brings this already long communication to a close in the assurance that he has therein set forth everything that can fully satisfy your government. The undersigned moreover declares that, in presenting its explanation, his government finds its inspiration in the words of the instructions wluch you have quoted, and which assures the government of Chile that the president is not disposed to exact or ask anything which your government would not ander tie same circumstances spontaneously concede.

All Attempt to Capture Turner, Dead or Alive, Leads to the Deaths of Parton and 1 wo of His Gang. Serious Trouble Anticipated in Consequence. Pinevillk. Ky., Jan. 30. A factional fend that promises to rival in bloodshed the famous Hat ft eld-McCoy or any of the other desperate factional wars which have made this section of the state no torious has broken ont in the southern part of this county. The scene is a wild, mountainous locality known as South. America, and is about thirteen miles from the nearest railway point.

Their nam's are Vinr aWa "D..,--.. 1 li,.,.; . . i -:n ' rriV-'. it'Hini. utx unvw auu v ill t? ) 1 1 J . ua fight is between Berry Turner, a notor- ious outlaw and murderer, who has per haps killed more men than any other one man who has ever terrorized this section, with a strong gang, and the Parton fac tion. The Parton side is a strong one, and claim to have the law on their side, bnt so far they have had the hot end of the fight. Parton was killed last Saturday. He had essayed to capture Berry Turner, dead of alive, and posted himself at a convenient distance from a house in which Turner was fortified with a num ber of bis followers. It was probably Parton's intention to shoot Turner at the tirst opportunity, bnt the'latter had too much cunning. The outlaw dis covered the whereabouts of his would bo slayer, and at an unguarded moment succeeded in drawing a bead on the latter and sent a ball from his Win chester crashing through Parton's head. The body of Parton was allowed to lie in the woods for four days, his friends being afraid to attempt to rescue it. When it was finally taken away the body had beeu partially devoured by hogs. This murder only fired the Parton faction to more desperate warfare against the Turner side, and on Wednes day they made a bold attempt to avenge the death of one of their men. The act was disastrous to the Partonites, as two more of their number were killed. The Partonties had surrounded the Turner stronghold, but instead of taking the army were themselves taken in. They were fired upon from the Turner house, and before they could realize that their presence-had leen discovered Lee Davis and Bill Jones, two of the leading men of tho Parton faction, had been pierced by bullets from the deadly Winchesters. More than a hundred shots were ex changed, and'some of theJTurner faction are said to have been wounded. There is talk of Organising a posse of officers from this county, and from Claiborne county. Teen., to attempt the capture of Turner, and a big fight will undoubtedly follow. Cnt the Caboose in Two. Syracuse, N. Y., Jan. 30.

KI.M CITY ITEMS. The Kevi From tOur Enterprising Neigh boring Town. (SPECIAL COR'. THE ADVANCE) The town commissioners have or dered five car-loads of gravel which they propose using on the sidewalk. I think they are wise in so doing, as our streets are almost impassable at some places in wet weather. Our town commissioners aye live sure, nnd intend to see that the streets are as good as the best belore they are done with them. Our town is looking up, and not withstanding the short crop of last year, our business men are all in good trim and are starting out in the new year' briskly. It is said by those who ought to know that a dollar will buy more in Elm City than any other town of its size in Eastern Car olina. Our merchants believe in the old adage : "A nimble six-pfence is better than a slow dollar" ; and hence always sell cheap for cash. There is comparatively no rivalry be tween the businessjmen. They work in almost perfect harmony, and all sell at very nearly the same price. You can always be sure of being treated right when you deal with any of them. The health record of the town is extremely good and the moraiity unsurpassed. Our Sunday Schools have started off finely better than ever before. The fact is that if our superintendents, Messrs. J. T. Sharp arid W. D. Car ter are put in the lead of anything it will always move. The High School is on the up grade still. The following new pupils were enrolled on Monday : Misses Henderson Batts, Mabel Barnes, Cora Thigpen and Messrs. Zeb. V. Braswell, Claude Barnes and Grover Cleveland Barnes. Our people real ize that they cannot afford to let their children grow up without an educa tion. They further realize that in order to give an education they must maintain a good school in dieir midst. Hence, they work for and support their school with a zeal and liberality that is highly commendable. In fact, no truer or better people are to be found anywhere than right here in Elm City. Take it all in all Elm City is hard to beat. Our Mayor is always on the lookout and metes out exact justice to all. Our policeman seems to be almost ubiquitous, and keeps our town well lighted and in peace and perfect harmony. Our doctors are as good as are to be found anywhere. They keep us -so well and hearty it is hard for us to find enough to eat Our postmaster is always at his "post" and delivers mail with a bright smile on his face, especially if it looks like it was "fixed up" by , "angel" fingers. Our depot agent is the best we ever saw, and is always as polite as a French dancing: master. Our preachers keep our town so good that the worst thing we see around here is an occasional case of the "blues." In fact, we have been thinking that when Sam Jones comes this way again with his "revival train" we may be able to get him to hitch our train on and sail along'with him up that narrow track towards that brighter world where sin and sorrow are unknown, and peace forever reigns.
