| has the following In reference to the af-

1 a sharp engagement with shore batteries,
several heavy Krupp guns being in posi-

found impossible to destroy the water
condensers, one of the chief objects of
the expedition, since having received 4S
hours notice of the approach of the ram,
the authorities had time to effectually
protect these machines with piles of bags
filled with with sand and ritrate. The
Hausedr captured two Chilian merchant
ships loaded with copper ore and dis
patched them for Callao. She then cut

Railroad Prospects and Probabilities.
CHICAGO, June 25.-The Times New
York special says: At Boston and San
Francisco capitalists are interested in
, the progress which is made with the
, Southern Pacific road now being pushed
, forward /; and it is expected that within
fifteen months connection will be made
with the Missouri River, Fort Scott &
! Gulf Road. This is Boston enterprise
] almost exclusively, and is regarded as
: having brilliant future. It is said here
i on Wall street that before this connec-
! ton is made arrangements will be COM
pleted for an unbroken line from Chica-
! go in southwesterly direction, SO that
! when junction with the Southern Paci-
, fic is effected, trains can run through di-
rect from Chicago to San Francisco.
This enterprise will destroy the monopo-
ly of existing Pacific roads and will be
! of great advantage to shippers by fore
: ing lower rates for freight and passage.
. Managers of the st. Louis, Iron Noun
tain and southern roads are negotiating
for consolidation with the Texas and Pa
! cific line, and as this is being built by
!, the Pennsylvania railroad managers,
eastern extension may be made by
: another line from Chicago. It is hinted
!, that Vanderbilt is arranging to secure
], control of the Union Pacific road at the
I next election and that this is the expIa-
2 nation of the admission of Mills TO the
: direction of Lake Shore, and of Wander
;. bilt to the Chicago & Northwestern.
Mills is large holder in Union Pacific
n stock, and with his cooperation and that
u of the Boston holders majority in favor
J of Vanderbilt could readily be secured
n Chicago Races.
