The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1866-05-02

This terminated the correspondence between our
Minister ard the Spsnish Admiral.
THE SPANISH ADMIRAL PRoMIsRs Hor TO AGAIN
OPEN ON VALPARAIso.
On the same day the English and French consuls
visited the flagship for tie purpose OF earning, II
possible, what Nunez expected to do hereafter. In
response TO their inquines he SAID that he should
not bombard Va araso again, unless The Govern
ment interered with the property OF or permitted
outrfges pom SpaniardS in Chi, or attempted to
use tCrpedoes against bis vessels.
ToRPEDoEs IN THE CITY.
There are now number of torDedoes in the city,
ready for use, and the pr jectors anxious 10 20
lear OF anCt ther attack Va parsIso will probably
prevent ally attempt TO blow up the ships
DAMAGEs TO VALPARAISO.
NoiwithstaLOiI g the promise Of Admiral Nunez
10 respect all chIroD and hospital buildings, every
rel PiOus aEd cl artable iDstiiut on was sheed as
well a' porton OF tho city composed alone of phi
Yhte ceS. The chuTo res are all situated in
localines remote from the pubic bmlolngs, and
were espnat' by large white flags. They couo
OF have teon tuck y shot unless the Spaniards
had lntertonaliy fired at them. None of the
churches or hos itals received less than three .hos
and the Convent OF the Barron on the bills which
was occupied ~ women ana children, was struck
tW en'y-ODe times.
Two women were killed IN their houses on the
heig Is wEero every one sup oosed thev would have
been secure; and arumoer Of children are reported
10 nave been Killed in other Oca itlos distant from
festo, Shots all fired at the groups spec a.
tors mIe from the bus par OF the CITY, render
ing 1t necessary for the au horihes 20 station line

TO prevent the people from col ectlng in crowds and
thus drawing the enemy fire.
THE TOTAL LOSS
is estimated at tU ent millions OF dol ar5 Four large
bonded warehouses, with their contents ana we We
squsTes OF the business part OF the were urned
Fortunately z eat pro orton OF the prop erty had
been removed from the private bulldogs 80 that
these losses limited to the value OF the sruc ures
The warehouses, however, were tul of American,
French, Eng ish, and (Ierman goods, there HAVING
been no Oppo. tunIty to ge out property from
the custom houses, except from the long bui utng
LETT standing lhls structure vas badly catered bV
the shot, but can be repaired without grea expense
There is scarcely mercantile house In VALPARAISO
which has not suffered more or less from the de-
strucion of the custom houses. As The books and
papers of the e firms It'll out of the CITY it Is
| have been able TO CLEAN only the following esti-
mates OF individual losses in the meTcaHtile COM
munlty, ana these must be taken only as approxi-
mate estimates. In my next letter shall probably
give detai ed statement OF personal losses.
