NEW York. November %.
A letter from Antorfogosa in the Panama
Star md Herald, giving the details of the
fight with the Peruvian iron-clad, Huascar,
says: The scene on board the Huascar at
the moment of surrender battles descrip-
ton, and on seeing the wreck, composed of
pieces of thick iron twisted into every con-
ceivable shape, splinters Of wood, broken
rifles, swords and furniture, all mixed with
fragments of flesh, and the deck flowing in
blood, one could only gaze in wonder at
the deadly effects Of modern arms. The
cabin Of the Commander was a wreck. and
whore it had been were a number Of dead
bodies. The only part that could be found
of Commander Grau was his foot and a part
of a leg. The body Of the Second Com
mander was i'll a frightful condition. A
large ball had struck him in the head, car
rying the whole upper part away, and leav-
ing only a fragment of the lower jaw, with
beard attached. On the right leg were four
wounds, and the right arm and side were
completely smashed. According to the
Huascar register there were over 60 persons
missing. These are accounted for by the
statement that from the bursting of the
shells some of the crew were blown into
WV bSu, Hin otLCio wv 4 INV q
ments. One shell killed IS persons. So
rapid and fatal was tile firing, that the deck
of the Huascar was completely cleared, and
it was difficult to get any one to run the
risk of coming up to lower the flag, fonr
in succession having lost their lives in the
attempt. 1t was finally accomplished by a
negro. 1t is thought that SO, 900 will make
the Huascar fit for sea and fighting again,
although her whole upper works were
knocked to pieces by the Gillian fire.
Mormon DeviItry.
DENVER, November %.
A special to the Tribune from Los Pinos,
dated the Goth, says Ouray stated to the
Commissioner that he is prepared to prove
by the testimony of members of his tribe,
that secret emissaries from the Mormons
have been comforting with the White
River Utes and attempting to prolong the
hostilities by promising to furnish arms
and ammunition at a certain point on Grand
river for their use as long az they would
fight. He adds that although the informa-
ton which has come to him is not sufficient
to convict, vet he has little doubt but that
he will be able to establish the connection
of the Mormons with the origin Of the
outbreak, and that similar inducements
were held out to the Indians prior to the
firing of the first shot at the agency. Ou-
ray says he is informed by his secret agents
that these overtures have been made to
Jacks men since the visit of General
Adams to the White River Utes, and it is
his belief that representatives from the
Mormons have been in communication
with Jack for q long time. Entertaining
this view, an extra effort will be made to
secure the attendance Of Jack, as the Com
mission have determined to sift the matter
to the bottom.
