Matters in connection with the water
Of the flooded mines aud the Sutro Tun.
mel are. just at present, Mt Q standstill.
This has been brought about chiefly by
a ave in the Sutro Tunnel, about 1000
feet east Of shaft No. I. This occurred
Tuesday night, and at ll:30 yesterday
orders came from below to pump no
more water into the tunnel till further
instructions. This cave extended
throughout the length Of Eve sets Of
timbers. and was Of such a nature as to
stop all communications between the
mouth and shaft No. /.
When 1t occurred there were Ave
mules in the tunnel besides the usual
complement Of men. The latter were.
however. in no danger a. shaft No. 2wss
in good working order and egress could
be effected through that or through the
connection with the Savage. To pro-
vide for the Ave mules. hay and pro.
vsndsr were hauled to shaft No. 2. and
then lowered. The cave will DO cleared
out and the ground caught up tonight,
so that work in the header OF the Julia
branch. which has been temporarily
suspended. will be resumed.
To prove that misfortunes never come
singly. the Savage broke q pump rod
40 feet below the surface ut s o'clock
yesterday morning. This complicated
matters. The Hale < Norcross pumps
were kept running to their full capacity,
but, as usual. they were unable to pre-
vent the water from rising above the 1000
level. As 1t came up it found its way
through the lightning DRIFT to the Re-
qua shaft. by means OF dams its flow
was directed 40 NJ TO fall into the tank
ON the 1000 level OF that shaft. But
this was Of too limited capacity to
contain the influx for any great length
Of time, and the pumps had been stopped
as per order. 1t only remained. there
fore. to take the miners from the shaft
and use bailing tanks TO raise 1t to the
surface. This was done. and was still
going on at noon to-day. The incon.
vsnisncs. however. will not be OF great
duration. since at 1880 to-day the
broken pump rod OF the Savage was re.
paired and the pumps there commenced
raising water. This immediately stopped
tho fiow through the lightning drift, and
at last accounts the water was being
gradually lowered in the flooded mines.

NEW YORK.

New YORK, April THE strike
of the Longshoremen appears to
have been partially successful. The
agent of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company finding it impossible
to get his steamer off on time yes
terday, decided to give the men
their former wages. He had no
difficulty, whatever, in finding plenty
of Longshoremen ready to go to
work. 1t is rumored that last
night several of the coasting com
panies would follow this example
to-day. The French line, finding it
impossible to get the Canada ready
last night, took on old hands, giving
them the old wages of As cents per
hour for night work and 30 cents
for day work.

himself for protection, and had been
protected. As to the Confederates
taking advantage of the flag OF
truce in order to gain better posi-
ton, that was not true. He said SO
in Vindication of his dead COM
mander, for "Glory is the soldiers
pride, the soldiers wealth is honor. "
In reply to questions by Mr..
Hawley, Commander Lee stated
that the garrison of Fort
Pillow numbered SIT men,
of whom about 40 per cent. were
saved, that about 80 were killed and
wounded, and about $50 on the
Confederate side.
+ Remarks were made by Mr..
Garfield as to the lmpolicy of re-
opening the subject with the intima-
ton that the officers were not so
responsible as had at first had been
supposed. But the general i'm
preston at the time had been
strengthened by an order issued
about three weeks previously by
Gen. Forest that if the fort were
surrendered the garrison should be
treated as prisoners of war, but
if the works were stormed, no quar-
ters might be expected. He was
glad that so much had been done
by the gentleman from Mississippi
to disconnect his name from the re-
sponsibility in the matter.
After further remarks between
Messrs. Chalmers and Burroughs,
the subject was finally laid on the
table.
The House discussed without
action the bill directing the Exec
utive officers of the Government to
carry out the eight hour law, and
then proceeded to the consideration
of the Coinage bill, the discussion
of which was continued until ad-
journment.

SOUTH AMERICA.

PANAMA, April 28.-The first
naval encounter of three cornered
duel now going on in South
America took place on the 18th, off
the River Loa, between the Chilian
corvette Magallanee on one side
and the Peruvian vessels Union and
Pilcomayo on the other. The Pc
ruvian vessels sailed from Calico
several weeks ago to Antofogusta,
On their arrival at that point they
found the harbor deserted, They
then proceeded north and when
abreast of the River Loa sighted a
Chilian vessel, and sharp
firing was maintained for
two hours, but it appears that if any
damage was inflicted it was slight.
The Chilian vessel had six guns, to
oppose twenty, and after burning a
little powder without effect, the
Chilian captain concluded to with
draw from the fight, which he did,
running away easily from the Peru
Wan ships. No report of casualiN
ties has been made public, but Capt.
Garcia, in command of the Peruvian
vessels, reports that his command
behaved remarkably well.

WINNIPEG, MANITOBA, May T.
The strike on the Canada Pacific
Railway still continues. About
1000 men are now engaged in it.
The cause of the strike is the reduc-
ton of wages to two dollars per
day. 1t is also owing to the bad
board and the demand for a decrease
in the price of board from $3.50 to
81 per week. The men are determin-
ed to hold out, and either will seize
or have already seized the works.
No violence has yet been offered.
Mr.. Bains, the contractors solicitor
in Winnipeg, has represented the
situation to Chief Justice
Wood, an administrator of the Gov
ernment with view OF having re
pressiye measures taken. The Chief
Justice telegraphed for the author
ity to draw upon the local volunteer
organizations and proceed to the
locality with a sufficient force to
break up the strike.
A Free Press special from Gross
Lake says no trouble is anticipated,
as the Superintendent says Mr..
Whitehead is prepared to pay of,
all hands and engage new ones.
The military are ordered to be in
readiness, but it is believed
their services will not be re-
quired. The strikers did not
destroy any property, but captured
provisions.
