Washington, May 9. Within a very few days Secretary Tracy will announce the board of officers who will make a final test of the efficiency of the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius. Although the Vesuvius has been afloat for about three years, it has never been shown that her dynamite guns were of any practical use. She has popularly been held up as the means by which foreign invaders were to be repelled and monster iron clads were to be blown to atoms. But so far as the navy department knows, the dynamite guns of the Vesuvius have not been demonstrated to have any special death-dealing capacity.

In speaking with two of the commodores on duty at the navy department, they treated the subject with more amusement than seriousness and were disposed to look upon the Ve-suvius's dynamate guns as experiments which the coming test would show to have little practical value. One of them explained that the main trouble with the Vesuvius gun was that it was immovable. It could not be aimed by lowering or raising the muzzle, or moving it from side to side, as the gun-carriage was rigid throughout. This made it necessary to aim the boat instead of aiming the gun, and it was by no means certain or likely that the boat could be moved and aimed so as to make accurate fire on moving target. This accuracy of aim would be the matter tested by the board about to beUhp- Eointed.

All the tests heretofore made ave been with dynamite guns on shore, firing at fixed targets afloat. If the tests are entirely successful the question of coast defense and of our naval equipment will be much simplified. The navy department has no special claim on the dynamite gun, as its projectors have long had the gun on the European market. Italy can make the same use of it as this country. It is said that China has taken steps to secure a monopoly of the use of the gun if it proves entirely effective in the test.

MARITIME THEY ASKED TOO MUCH. President Balmaceda Rejects the Insurgents' Demands. Paris, May 8. A dispatch from Chili says: Four congressional delegates have had an interview with President Balmaceda, but there is small hope of the two sides coming to an understanding. The delegates asked Balmaceda to resign, to dismiss his army, to appear in court and justify his conduct, and to allow congress to prepare for a new presidential election.

Another dispatch says that President Balmaceda has rejected the demands of the insurgent delegates who have been attempting to bring about some understanding with him by which internecine strife might be terminated. The peace negotiations are, therefore, completely ruptured, and there appears no other alternative than a renewal of the desolar ting struggle which has racked Chili for so many months: President Balmaceda lias given notice of the withdrawal from circulation of the bank notes. The withdrawal will be effected at the rate of 10 per cent, monthly. Payment of impost duties in 6ilver will also be demanded by the president. Rumored Negotiations.

Despatches received here from Chili announce that negotiations looking to a settlement of the civil war are proceeding between President Balmaceda and the leaders of the insurgent or Congressional party.

Has a Treaty Been Violated. The report of the grand jury will, it is expected, reach Secretary Blaine in the course of time and figure in the official correspondence between the United States and Italy.

A Surprise to the Marshal.

The United States marshal was not aware evidently that his authority was to be disregarded by the captain of the Etata. for at the time of her sailing he was in quest of the schooner Robert and Minnie, which craft he ha I been ordered to take at any point outside of the jurisdiction of Mexico. The vessel was to be seized as a piratical craft. The marshal and party left at 4 o'clock for Point Loina on a small steam launch. The party was heavily armed and with them were four soldiers from the barracks armed with rirles.

Charged With Piracy. The marshal had bejn authorized by the Washington authorities to take the schooner, even on the high seas, under the provisions of the neutrality and piracy laws. Wednesday the marshal and party started for Coronado islands, where the Rolert and Minnie was last seen, with the intention of taking her into custody. She was sighted just outside, but when the craft containing the marshal made in. her direction the schooner her course southward, as if desirous of reaching Mexican waters before Teiiig overhauled.

The boat containing the maihal's party passed the schooner about two and one-half miles south of the international line, fifteen miles southwest of Point Lorua. The tug got close enough to make out the name and Minnie, San which was painted on her stern. The schooner had nearly all sail set, but was so heavily laden that she made but little headway. The movements of the tug, containing the marshal's party, were closely watched by the crew of the schooner. The latter succeeded in reaching Mexican waters before the tug overhauled her.

and ths marshal returned for further orders. For the Chilian Insurgents. There is no doubt that the rifles and ammunition on board of the Robert and Minnie was intended for the Chilian insurgents, and that the calling of the Etata at this port was for the object of procuring these arms. It is definitely known that communications passed between the steamship's captain and the captain of schooner. The United States marshal arrived at port about midnight Wednesday night, with the news that the schooner had eluded him.

Determined to Leave at Any Cost. There is no doubt now that the Chilians were determined to leave the harbor at any cost. One of the deputy marshals, who was stationed at the mouth of the harbor in a small boat to keep a lookout, says that when the Etata passed out the pilot was standing between two armed Chilians, -while four camion guarded both bow and stem. He also says that at least eighty armed Chilians were drarn up on the deck ready for action. This fact shows that while the vessel was in port she had a plentiful supply of men, arms and ammunition.

During her stay in port the only arms displayed was one small cannon, while no more than sixty sailors were at any time seen on her deck. The vessel on leaving the harbor shaped her course north and steamed in the direction of San Clein-enta. Would it Be Violation? San Francisco, May 8. Senator Trumbull, of Chili, who is in the city, claims to have the best of legal advice to the effect that the proposed transfer of arms from the Robert and Minnie, is not a -violation of the neutrality provisions, even if it took place in an American dock. The owners of the schooner are becoming so alarmed over the action that they desire to back out of their charter, but Trumbull, who makes no secret of the fact that he is engaged in doing his utmost to start the Robert and Minnie's cargo to warn the rebels, has settled this difficulty by furnishing an indemnity bond for her value in the event of her seizure and confiscation.

Re- An Englishman's Opinion of the Oar Reciprocity Treaty With Spain to Be Consummated This Week. Madrid, May 8. The draft of the treaty of commerce between the United States and Spam was sent to the Spanish minister at Washington last week, with instructions to sign it immediately. It is expected the necessary signatures will be appended by the end of this week.

Although the Spanish government maintains the utmost reserve in regard to the treaty, even Tefusiifg to communicate it to the Cuban deputies, information from a reliable source confirms the report that coal, petroleum, machinery and fats will be admitted free into Cuba and Porto Rico, and the present duty on flour will be reduced one-half, in exchange for the free admission into the United States of sugar, coffee and cocoa. The deputies from' Castile continue to oppose the treaty on the ground that it will render it impossible for the Spanish flour to compete with the American product in the Antilles, but they did not demand a vote upon the treaty, as the government has the power to sign it without obtaining special authority from the chambers.

District Attorney Grant, it is believed, found that one of the victims was of Italian nationality, but was an escaped convict, and that another's nationalitv was so doubtful as to make it unsafe to hazard an opinion.

So at any rate the Italian complaint will be narrowed down to at least two persons one an escaped convict for although the United States has no naturalization treaty with Italy the last named nation has invariably, through comity, recognized our naturalized citizens as free from amenabilitv to their native govern-menW When the case of these two victims is considered the question will immediately arise were the treaty stipulations "with Italy broken? This question is likely to figure in the correspondence between the two governments as soon as the Italian government is ready to fall reasonably into the diplomatic methods of treating a subject respecting which thev take issue with another nation. Until it appears clearly that the treaty has been violated the Italian case falls to the and the leading diplomatic minds of the state department maintain that this fact cannot be made to appear. The treaty guarantees Italian citizens in this country the same rights and privileges and immunities as enjoyed by our own citizens, and it is asserted" that if any Italian subjects were killed at New Orleans they had the same measure of protection that was accorded to the American citizens who were killed at the same time, and for the tame reason and by the same persons. Moreover, their families mav claim in-tleiiiiiitv if it appears that they are entitled "to do so. The same measure of popular vengeance might have been in-ticted upon native citizens of the United States, and altogether it is not clear to the state dr-artment officials that the victims failed In any degree to receive the protection guaranteed by the treaty, which, it may be said, does not, and cannot insure the lives of foreigners.
