The Douglas independent. [volume] (Roseburg, Or.) 187?-1885, 1879-11-15


The Hltascar's guns were well served and
in an hour discharged % shots. Her gun
ners were foreigners, principally English
and scotch, among whom the mortality
must have been considerable. Her en-
gineers were all foreigners, % OF crew IN
all, being Europeans. The damage done
the Chilean ironclads is considerable
The Almirante Cochran, which sustained
the brunt of the battle, was somewhat
damaged. but the Blaaco Encaidd escaped
almost entirely. The unequal character
of the fight may be understood when IL
known that the Hudscor has but two 800
FOUNDERS to oppose twelve, and her ar
mour was four and half inches against
nine inches.
The Haascar carried 2l0 men, officers,
sailors, marines and engineers. Her pla-
ting amidship was A inches tapering OF
to q inches in box and stern, and her
measurement about I250-tons with two
Armstrong rifles -pounders) in the
turret, and two 40-pounders on deck,
which probably could not be used from
the height OF the Chilean vessels and ex-
tremely short range sometimes three
hundred meters and sometimes a stones
throw.
Commander Grau of the Hudscar and
engagement with the Chilean fleet. Many
of the crew were killed and wounded. At
the close of the action Huascar nearly
sank. It was thought doubtful whether
she could reach port. The Chilean army
numbering ten thousand is reported
marching upon Iquiqui, Peru.
Subscriptions have been opened in
Lima for the purchase of an iron clad to
be called the Almirante Graa. Men give
their money, their houses, their estates,
their watches and even their sleeve links.
Women have thrown into the fund their
diamonds and silver plate. One lady sent
diamond jewelry valued at E2000 ster-
ling, and Others have been equally liberal.
The archbishop cf Lima heads the sub
scription with 1000 soils. Already nearly
100000 soils have been collected. The
ministry, to give the president an oppor-
tunity 10 choose new ADVISORS, resigned
en- mdsse, put their resighations were not
accepted. In spite OF 1eehng Oh SAD
