were signaled to 60 south with all
speed, and the Esmeralda, an old wood
en- corvette, remained to engage her
formidable antagonist, the Huascar,
while the Independence steamed after
the retiring Chilian vessels. The une-
quail fight between the Huascar and Es-
meralda lasted but short time, for the
latter, having suffered damage to her
machinery and refusing to surrender,
was rammed by the Huascar and sank
almost Immediately. OF her crew of
200 men not more than 40 were saved.
In pursuit of the flying Chilian ships,
the Independence was unfortunate.
The Captain of the Cavadonga, who
knew every yard of the coast, hugged
the land very closely, passing reefs and
banks with marvellous skill. The Cap
tain of the Independence foolishly tried
to follow her when, as she was round
ing Point Gruesa, she struck on \ reef,
which stands about four miles from the
point, knocking a tremendous hole in
her bottom and becoming total wreck.
The Huascar took off her crew and a
few of her guns and left them at Pisaqua
and Iquique. The Huascar then pro-
ceeded to Autofogosta, where she will

A POlyglOt Nation.

The Mexican people are of two classes.
The aristocratic or ruling class is COM
posed chiefly of descendants of the Span
ish ConGuistadors and native women.
The great mass of the people are pure
descendants of the aborigines. All call
themselves Mexicans, while the first
class call the second Indios-i. e. In
dians. In each locality these Indians
are of different class. In the north
they are stalwart, warlike race, like
the aborigines of the United States. In
the central and southern part, they are
puny, inoffensive people. Between
Vera Cruz and the City of Mexico, it is
said that as many as 21 different Indian
dialects are spoken. Spanish is the Ian
guage of the country, but most of the
inhabitants of the interior still speak
their original tongues, while many OF
them do not even understand Spanish.
To illustrate the state of affairs as to
nationality, it may be noticed that Por-
firio Diaz, the present President, is
nearly pure Indian. Jaurez was pure
Indian, or of unmixed native descent
Of the Present Cabinet, all are of the
Castilian class, or nearly pure Spanish.
Again, General Chavarria, veteran ot
the Mexican war, is pure Indian, as i;
also Senior Mendoza, the manager OF the
National Museum, both men of great
ability and prominen ce.- Chicago Inter-

A Mirror Attacked by a Sheep.

A commotion occurred in a farmers
house, a short distance out of Rome, on
Monday. They were cleaning house,
and left open doors leading to all parts
of the house. In one of the rooms was
large mirror, reaching to the floor.
On the premises is sheep, whose head
is graced with horns, and which is very
tame, entering the house whenever an
opportunity is presented. This woolly
animal got into the house unnoticed.
When first discovered it was standing
facing the mirror, shaking its head fierce
ly. Before it could be reached it jumped
back for a good start and then plunged
its head into the mirror. Instead OF
coming in contact with some other ami
NAL, as it expected, it demolished fifty
dollar mirror. The crash so frightened
the animal that in its endeavors to es.
cape from the screams and attacks OF
the women of the house it found place

The Late Naval Battle Off Iquique.

Advices from Panama concerning the
recent engagement between Peruvian
and Chilian ships of war state that the
Chilian fleet left Iquique on the goth of
May, leaving to maintain the blockade
the Esmeralda, corvette; the Cavadon-
ga, a dispatch boat, and the Lamar, a
transport. On the 22d, the squadron
appeared off the bay of Callao and the
Chilian Admiral was surprised to learn
that the Peruvian fleet had gone south
six days before. The Chilians imme-
diately started in pursuit. The COM
mander of the Huascar, learning of the
character of the Chilian force left at
Iquique, at once started for that port in
company with the iron-clad Indepen-
dencia. At :15 on the morning of the
21st the Peruvian vessels appeared off
Iquique and Immediately opened fire on
the Chilian vessels, which was briskly
returned. The Cavadonga and Lamar

Submarine Engineering.

Some interesting experiments have
lstely been made in raising sunken ves-
sells or other submerged objects by
plan invented by Viennese engineer.
The Berlin Tribune says that the agent
employed to lift the sunken objects Is
carbonic acid gas, generated below the
surface of the water. In an otherwise
empty balloon bottle of sulphurlc acid
is placed, embedded in quantity OF
Buffers salts, and an arrangement IS
provided by which the bottle can be
broken at pleasure. The balloon, empty
with the exception of the bottle and the
salts, is taken down by diver and Sc
curely attached to the object to be
raised. The bottle is then broken, and
the sulphuric acid thus set free per-
colates the salts and generates carbonlc
acid gas, which initiates the balloon and
after time causes it to rise to the sur
face, bringing with it the object attached
to it. The trials which have been made
with this new apparatus have as yet
been only on a comparatively small
scale, but they are stated to have been,
so far, eminently successful. A small
vessel weighing several hundred weight
