seventy miles north of Valparaiso.
Fourteen bodies had been recovered.

had reached the shore in safety, and
twenty were still on the rocks.
A British war vessel and Chilian gun
boat went to the scene of the wreck as
soon as reported, but were unable to
render any assistance, owing to rough
weather and the fog The survivors on
the rocks, from exposure and want OF
food, threw themselves into the sea to
end their misery, and only three were
saved.
A correspondent writes that out Of the
crew (sIxty-seven sil told) and passengers
there are probably saved sixty-three.
There could not have been less than from

one hundred persons. rhe commsnder

tatIon Of leading merchants recently
waited upon Senator Morton with regard
70 the troubles attendant upon the pres.

The spokesman stated in effect that there

the treaty, hsd been disregsrded, and the
State and United Ststes government
failed to afford them the protection TO
which they were entitled. That they
did not blame the American people for
this state of affairs, recognizing the fact
that it was the foreign element that so
strongly opposed them. Thst having
borne with this treatment tor many yesrs
with 10 prospect ot relief, they wished to
adopt such measures rs would hsye

and 10 this end requested the Senstor to
Introduce bill at the next session OF
