Affair* la Chill.
New York, May 10.—Mr. Edward By
er, a nephew of EivMayor William R.
Grace, has arrived on the steamship Col*
lomfroin Aspinwall. Mr. Eyer is a repi-
resentative of the firm at Coliaa and this
is his first visit home twenty-
four years, Speaking of the Chilian
disorders Mr. Eyer was asked “From
what source does the insurgents obtain
funds to continue the ^warfare?
“They have secured control of all the
ports from which the nitrate is shipped.
They arc receiving the export duties
payable to the Chillian government which
amountB to fully ten million silver
dollars annually.
‘How does Ralmaceda get the funds
to carry on his werefare?”
‘Fromjthel revenues of the country,
principally the custom houses of Valpar-
aiso and Talcahuano, but a4 these were
not sufficient to meet his Requirements,
he issued $12,000,000 woRth of paper
money, which was taken by the people
and used to pay the army. The currency
of Chili consists of ‘notes,’ issued and
guaranteed by the government. This
currency was worth 50 cents ou the dol
lar when the revolution brhke out, but
according to my last advices has declined
to 30 cents.”
“Do you know of aDy firms in New
York that are supplying the insurgents
with arms?”
“No, I do not.”
“How long do you think the struggle
will last? ’
“It is very hard to say, but I am afraid
it will last many months, as* the opposiv
tion is not likely to accept us a solution
of the difficulty the man Baimaeeda pro-
poses shall succeed him as president
(flennr Vicura) when his term expires on
September 18th next.”
‘How is the credit of Chili with for-
eigh nations?”
‘Chilian bonds have declined a little
owing to the revolution, but not to the
extent that might have been expected,
Chili has enjoyed such an excellent repu-
tation that the effect has not been in her
case as it would have been in others and
her total external debts arc only about
$35,000,000 which is no doubt in any case
case perfectly good.”
“If necessary could she obtain any
material assisteuce from London in the
way of loans?”
' Under present circumstances it is not
at all likely that she could obtain any
assistance in the London market, but in
normal times she could have had all the
money she desired for public works and
other uses. Her last loan which was a
million pound sterling was placed at
Victors at par. To speak accurately I
believe it was 99 and I understand held
principally by the Rothschilds.”
“What interest is taken in the affair in
Peru and what sympathy is extended
toward the two parties in Chili?”
“In Peru the general desire is that a
peaceful solution Oof the difficulty
should be reached, as it affects the busi-
ness of that country considerably, but
beyond this neither the people nor the
government have any interest in either
side. The government has observed the
strictest neutrality and I know positively
that that is the policy which the Peruvian
government proposes to follow. This I
can affirm, as I have it direct from the
president of Peru and his ministers.
What the commerce of the coast needs is
peace and the unanimous feeling is one
of the deepest regret that Chili should
have become involved in such a condition
of internal slrife.”

locomotive firemen, to be held here this
afternoon will decide whether or not a
call out on a strike of every employe of
the Northwestern road represented in
the council, Many, it is said, go so far
as to inaugurate a war against other
roads said to be secretly aiding the
Northwestern in its fight against the
switchmen. Several members of the
council arrived this morning and at once
held a preliminary meeting These
gentlemen were J. P, Sargent, Grand-
master of the Brotherhood of Firemen;
8. W. Wilkinson, of the Brotherhood of
Trainmen and Frank Sweeney of the
Switchmen Mutual Aid Association.
“I cannot tell what;we will do, as I know
nothing about the state of affairs, ex-
cept what I have read in the papers.
However, we are going to look into the
whole matter and I expect all the
council here this afternoon.”
‘ We hope to avoid a general strike,’
said Mr Sweeney, * but the trainmen
arc united and can stand together for a
long fight and we intend to get our
rights.”
Later Mr. Sargent hinted that there
would be truuble among several roads
unless the Northwestern switchmen
were reinstated He said the locomotive
firemen' were never in better condition
to stand a long fight and he understood
the other organizations represented in
the council were equally as well pre-
pared.

Baltimore, May|16 —Cardinal Gibbons
has been seen by the reporter of the
Associated Press in refference to the
Rome cablegram,which speaks of “the
difficulties and dissensions that have
erisen between the bishops and priests of
America” etc. His eminence said that he
was not aware of any dissensions nor of
serious difficulties. Cardinal Gibbons
then stated that he had received a letter
from the pope within the last few days
as mentioned in the Rome dispatch. In
this letter the father spoke in terms of
warm praise of the priests of the United
States and their devotion to the Holy
See and to the laborous apostolic nf.s-
sioners.
