HAINES STILL AT LARGE.

Especial to the Press. !


RoCKLAND, June 14.-Mr. James P. Rob
bins died this morning at o'clock as easily as
if going to sleep. Mr.. Robbins was promi-
nent member of the reform club, Methodist
church and of Edwin Libby Post G. A. R. He
was loved and respected by all who had form
ed an acquaintance with him.
Yesterday he reused up from his deathly
slumber, telling his friends who were about
his bed that he had got to die, and that when
Haines struck him the fatal blow he was
STOPPING to pick up stick on the floor which
he had dropped while whiting 1t is sup
posed that Haiues had the deadly weapon in
his sleeve. Mr.. Robbins was nearly 45 years
old and his horrible fate is greatly deplored
throughout the city and neighboring towns.
The murderer, Haines, was seen near Lin
colnville Centre late yesterday afternoon. This
is about six miles from where the blanket and
lantern were found. A large number of gen.
tlemen from this city and neighboring towns
are in pursuit of him. He was not found,
however, and the search in that neighborhood
was abandoned this morning. Sheriff Shep-
pard and men from this city and Belfast are
still engaged in the search and it is reported
that all the woods in the country surrounding
Belfast are watched.
Richard SINNERS, Haines's confederate in
the burglaries, and who, it was reported, would
be used as states evidence against him in the
store robbery cases, was arraigned before the
police court this afternoon ON charge of re-
ceiving stolen goods. He waived examination
and was ordered to give bail in $500 for ap-
pearance at the next term of the Supreme
Judicial Court.

SOUTH AMERICAN WAR.
The Recent Battle Between the
Gillian and Peruvian Fleets.
ADESPERATE CONFLICT DISASTROUS
TO BOTH SIDES.
Great Destruction by the Pisagua Bonn
Bardment.

PANAMA, June 4.-United states steamer
Adams, which arrived the 4th from Callao
May 9th, brings the following:
The CHILEAN fleet appeared off Callao, May
I'd, but on learning that the first division of
the Peruvian feet had gone south steamed
away in pursuit. Meantime the Peruvian fleet
learned from passing vessels and by telegraph
that the Gillian iron-clads had sailed from
Iquique, leaving there only a small wooden
corvette, Esmeralda, despatch boat Covadonga
and the Limari. The Huascar and Indepen-
dencia, Peruvian iron-clads, Immediately
steamed to Iquique and attacked those YES
sells. The Huascar after summoning the Es-
meralda two or three times to surrender which
was answered by broad-siders, at last rammed
the latter, which sank almost Immediately,
carrying down about 150 men. About 40 were
rescued and sent ashore as prisoners of war.
Meantime the Independence made chase af-
ter the Covadonga and Limari, which the
commander was anxious to capture, but not
destroy. The Covadonga, whose captain was
very familiar with the coast, steered very close,
her course leading the Independence into water
where she was certain of destruction. The In
dependencia followed blindly and at full speed
struck rock and became total wreck. The
Huascar came to her assistance and finding it
impossible to save her took off the crew and
set tire to the vessel to prevent her floating in
to the hands of the enemy. The Covadonga
and Limari escaped.
In another statement it is related that
thompson, the commander of the Esmeralda,
on his vessel being struck by the Huascar,
leaped ON board the latter with handful OF
men to attempt the apparently forlorn hope of
taking her, but he and his men
were all shot down after desperate resistance.
Lieut. Velarde of the Huascar was killed.
Commander Moore of the Independence is
stated to be half mad in consequence of the
loss of his ship and has to be guarded for fear
OF attempting his own life. The Huascar and
Independence had orders to proceed to Anita
fagosta to destroy the water condensers and
the CHILEAN vessels found there, but the loss of
the Independencia obliged the Husacar to
return to Pesagua, which port she again left on
the 23d with the Chalico. 1t is not known
whether for Asica or Autofazoste to accom-
plish alone in the latter port original designs.
The losses by the bombardment of Pisagua are
estimated at $2,000O00.

the following distances: Harding 16 miles
81 laps; Brown 16 miles and "a laps; Ennis
10 miles and 81 laps; Weston 10 miles and
"a laps.
The Sportsman's analysis of the chances of
competitors in today is race as follows: Elliott

himself with marvellous ease to the long slide.
gets along smartly and takes powerful stroke
which he is able to sustain we'll. He declares
that he has never been SO thoroughly trained
before. Hanlan too Is in excellent condition.
We expect to see most exciting struggle for a
good part of the distance when probably
Elliott will tire from fatigue caused by the
long slide to which he is unaccustomed and
Hanlan will draw ahead.
