The steam launch Strae was launched ,ea the 20th instant from the works of Caarlea L. Seabury & Co , at Nyack-OD-HudsoD. -She is 65 feet long1, 9 feet beam, and draws 3 feet of water. The Strae is designed as a day launch, also arranged as a cruiser. The frames are of selected whits oak, planking is of cedir, copper fastened throughout. The machinery consists of a ' Sea- bury" triple expansion engine of 75 horse pover, and a "Saabury" safety water tube boiler. This will drive the boat at a guaranteed speed of twelve miles am hour natural draft, and nearly fqurteeo miles per hour with forced draft. The working steam pressure al lowed is 250 pounds. Tne cabin ar rang'enients of the Strae is worthy of special comment, as all the room is used to advantage. There is a pilot bouse,, owner's cabin, toilet room, coat rooir, engine room, crew's cabin and after cockpit. The machinery is of a hig-h clas? and jets low down in the boat. It is com' paot, strong: and light weight, the coil consumption 'being about 600 pounds for ten hou s running, which is very economical. Steam can be obtained in ten minutes from cold water. Tne cabin work is all mahogany, with windows to slide up and down, and the f urnishings are of silks, dam asks, plushes and wilton carpats, making beautiful contrast with the wood work.

CHILI'S UNSATISFACTORY ANSWER TO THE AMERICAN DEMANDS. The minister of Foreign Affairs Says Administration and Jadlelal An thorl ties are Investigating the Valparaiso ? A flair, and Will Beport the Result. . w AsiiiNQTori, kjci. aa. There was little or na excitement in official cir cles-he re this morning over the Santi ago press cablegram, announcing the receipt of the unsatisfactory response from the Junta to the representatives of the United States, and saying that the Baltimore's crew were practically boycotted" at Valparaiso. Naval officials discredit the latter statement and believe its foundation lies in the prudent course adopted by Commodore Schley respecting the granting ; of liberty to his sailors during the present condition of excitement. No word has been received at the Navy Department from the Commodore reporting any new phase in the situation. At the Depart r.eat of State a cablegram from Minister Egan was received tLis morn ing, but it has not yet be?, riaieri, i so the omciais are in igaotance of its contents. The cablegram was translated and laid before the president about noon. Secretary Blaine and Tracy were im mediately summoned and there was a long conference. At 6 o'clock the fol lowing official statement of the con tents of Minister Egan's dispatch was made public: "Toe State Department received this morning a telegram from Minister Egaa dated Santteao, October 28th, in which he gives the following as the reply of the Chilian Government to thepresident's telegram of October 23d, asking reparation for recent mur der of American sailors in the streets of Valparaiso :Tae minister of foreign af fairs replies that the Government of the United States formulates demands and advances threats, that without being cast back with acrimony, are not ac ceptable, nor could they be accepted in the present case or in any other of a like nature. He does not doubt the sincerity, rectitude or expertness of the investigation on board of the Bal timore, but will recognize only the jurisdiction and authority of his coun try to judge and punish the guilty in Chilian territory. He says adminis tration and judicial authorities have been investigating the affair; the ju dicial investigation under Chilian law is secret, and time is not yet arrived to make known the result; when that time does arri.e, he will com municate the result, although he does not recognize any other authority, competent to judge crimi nal cases than that established by the Chilian people. Until the time arrives to disclose the result of the in vestigation, he cannon admit that the disorders in Valparaiso or the silence of his department should appear as an express on of unfriendliness towards the Government of the United States, which might put in peril the friendly relations between the two countries." No reply has been mide to this dis patch yet. What will be its nature is altogether conjecture. The most plaus ible theory advanced is that the sug gestions courteously and diplomatic ally conveyed in Acting Secratary Wharton's dispatch tbat this Govern ment had no doubt an investigation would be made and reparation afforded, will now be renewed in the 9hape of a stern and formal demand for some im mediate assurance of proper action on the part of the Junta, and that if these bt. not forthcoming Minister Egan will take passage on .the Baltimore for the United States, thus severing diplo matic, relations between the two coun tries. A RIVER DISASTER. The Steamer Rlerne Burned on the Mississippi -Twelve Lives Re ported Lost -Total Loss of Her Cargo. St. Louis, Oct. 29. Private dis patches ju3t received here say the steamer Oliver Bierne, used here as an excursion boat during tha summer and as a cotton carrier on the lower Mis sissippi in the fall and winter, was burned at Millikin's Bend, twelve miles from Vicksburg this morning Twelve lives are repo: ted lost. The fire was discovered in the cotton in the hold early this mornu'g and the flames spread so rapidly that many of the crew and passengers had very nar row escapes. The dead are the daugh ter of J. D. Adams, of Omha, Mr?. Frazer's nurse, five cabin boys, two colored chamberma ds. A number of roustabouts are also missing. . The Bierne left hereabout a week ago and carried 708 balestif cotton and 100 tons of o"her freight. She was one of the finest, largest boats on the river. The Picayune's Millikens Bend spe cial via Tallulah says: The boat and cargo are a total Joss, sue had aoout eigntydeck and about twenty cabin passengers. It is difficult to ascertain the io-aof lives.several reports differiug as to the esact number. The pa sen gens and crew lost every thing they had in the way ol clothing and nag- . t i a gage, many leaving tne miming Doai in their night clothes and bare feet. There were a number of narrow escapes, Capt. Thorwegan was the last to leave the boat, having to slide down a guy rod from the upper deck. Pilot Massie made hi6 escape by passing through the flam s to the stern of the boat and jumping into the river, ue was severely burned. The mate displayed his bravery by letting him sell uom oy aropiboiaing a litue cniia dj me clothing Ths crew and passengers all left for Vicksburg by the fteamer Sheffield this evening, with the exception of Mrs. Frazier and child, Mrs. Dr. Worrell and E." M Howell, whose injuries are too severe to permit their traveling iu&t vet. The boat had landed at ttose Hill and Milliken's Landing to take twenty-nine bales of cotton for A. S. Colthar & Co., of this place, and after landing loaded this cotton, dropped down a couple of hundred yard3 and tied up for the night. . The fire broke out after nearly every odo had retired for the night aud spread with such rapidity that the engineer was unable to turn on the hose. The Ashley Com pany had about 500 bales of cotton on a landing ocly a snort distance above, which narrowly escaped burning from the falliner cinders.. Vicksburg, Miss-.Oct. 29.

This enraged the negroes, who made open threats against the mate and boat. At 3:30 this morning the cotton in the deck room waa discovered on 11e and the boat vriLA a mass of flames in a short time TCvorv effort was made to save the lives of those on board, but it is feared the death list will reach twelve or more. The ywl was lowered to pick up those who 0 luld be reaohe4 in the river. It was about the only hope of saving many who were compelled to jump into the river.

The Evidence for the State Closed and Defendant John M. Riots Placed on the Stand. " Shelby, N. C, Oct. 29. Special. The court met promptly this morn ing, and the cross-examination of Michael was resumed. He stated he had bought drugs from Dr. C rouse's drug store, but did not remember the exact time. He had looked over dis pensatory after he had purchased the medicine to And out what it w b used for, but not before. Witness denied haying conversations with various par ties in regard to his beiog armed and intending to fi-eattha Motz's first. He told his broter-in-law he was not the father of Miss Motz's child and that he would not marry her under any con' sideration. After he was charged with the paternity he heard his life was threatened and he armed himself. He never told Miss Motz he was impo tent. Has no notes of hrs; did not procure them, as he considered them of no' great value. The cross-examina tion here ceased, and on the re-dhect xamination witness stated he was not responsible for the seduction of Miss Motz and was not the father of t.er child. ; He had known her intimately for three or four years. Rev. R. J. John son and Dr. W. L. Crouse testified that Michael's character was good. The State rested here and the de fense commenced. CqL H. C. Jones opened by etatiug to the jury that they expected to prove that Michael had -heen the lover of Miss Motz, and after ruining her, forsook her and refused to marry her. That her brothers, the defendants, met Michael in the road not to kill him, but to compel him to marry their sister; that Michael fired first, and in protecting his life John Motz fired; the shot tbat killed Sam Motz. The defendants.had no malice towards Sam, but on the contrary they were friendly, and Sam had promised to helo them in every way possible to help repair the wrong done their 'sit ter. Jno M. Motz, the oldest defendant, was the first witness, and tes ified that his sister was delivered of a child June 11th, and on June 26th she made a con fession charging Michael with being the father of her child. Between the 11th and 26th he, his brothers and his cousin Sam, had talked the matter over and Sam had agreed to do all he could to have . the injury redressed. About July 5th Sam suggested that if they could talk to Michael he believed Michael would marry the girl and he agreed to try to get Michael out of town. Oa July 11th Sam and Michael started to Li thia Springs and witness and his brothers starte i out of town, so jas to meet tbem on their return. . Witness went arouid by home, told his sister where they were going, and asked her to be ready so that she could come at once if he sent for her. He also sent word to his brother-in-law to procure a license and send word to a minister to meet them at the Tye Rtmseur place On his way to the meeting plase he secured a horse and buggy to bring his sister to the place where they expected to see Michael. He andhis brother waited at the intersection of the public road and a private road three fourths of a mile from to-vn. Saw Michael and Sam when they were about tixty yards off; Michael had a pistol in his hand but put it - under the seat and drew it again .when about twenty-five feet off. Witnea said, "Hold on Bob, we won't hurt you." Michael fired first, and thet he fired; he did not see Sam after he fired. The last time he saw Sam, he appeared to be trying to jump from the bugy. He didn't expect to kill Michael when he went out, but carriei the gun along for protection, as he had heard Michael was armed. His brothers had pistol s He only fired once The firing last-id a few seconds. Charlie Motz fell, and as h'e rose he exclaimed: "My God, Sam's hurt." Witness carried S im to the shade and sent for medical attend ance. The cross-examination of this witness was very rigid, and elicited the fact that Sam Motz did not attempt' to turn Michael's pistol; that Sam was a pow erful man and much stronger than Michael. When witness fired he had no idea of hitting Sam. Witness - was told not to approach Michael while fid was around, as the latter was an officer and armed, and was hired to protect Michael. Witness' father, wrote Michael a note on June 27tn, telling him he was responsible for the down fall of his daughter, and Michael re plied, referring the father to his attor neys. Witness, was depot agent tt LincoLpton, and had been requested to resign and did; had also worked con victs on railroads, but. had been hu mane to the hands. Witness was aked about affairs with two women, but denied being the father of the child of each, The cross -examination oeased and the defense resumed the redirect examina tion. During the day the defendants excepted three times to the judge's ruling. The prisoners seem hopeful and are not worried Mrs. Charles Motz and Miss M tggie Motz have been interested spectators since the trial began. ' - Fltzsimmons Beats Wfnn, Raleigh, Oct. 29.

SAMOA.Oct. 28.- B -ron Sennst Van Pilsach. president of the Muni. cipal Council and adviser to King maiieioa nas resigned, rne reason he assigns is, that some white residents of Samoa have been writing letters to the King about the German currency and other matters, and tbat the King wrote direct to them in reolv. " Pllaaeh claimed that no one should either write or speak to King Malietoa before first securing the President's permis sion, thereby actually assuming the position of dictator of the Islands. Before he resigned, memorial of the three powers had already been ore- pared by the consuls of the three treaty powere, ana win oe iorwarded. The memorial petitions the three Govern ments for the recall of Baron Pilsach on account of inexperience and reckless behavior in office.

The shipwrecked men report that the Mosel left Port Liman yester day evening, and while proceeding on ner voyage strucK a rock about A o'clock this morning, 100 yards from the shore. Three boats were manned by the officers and men of the Mosel and put off from the steamer for the purpose of obtaining assistance. but no aid could be obtained from the shore owing to the very heavv surf which p-evailed at the time. The steamer is rolling considerably, but hope is entertained of getting her off if timely assistance cn be rendered. No liyes reported lost. Cork, Oct. 29.John Dillon is now hors de combat.
