NEW York, Aug. 3.-The Panama Star and
Herald of July % has a story of the loss Of the
Chilean transport Lod IN Callao bay. A Peru
Wan officer constructed a launch, put . torpedo
into it, and over this placed a false bottom rest
ing on springs, kept down by the weight Of the
cargo. then loaded it with a very choice assort-
ment OF fruits, and towing il out toward the
blockading squadron before daylight, set it adrift.
All day it hoated about, but toward evening,
fearing it would fall into neutral hands, a boat
ado cut u W OEluK II DdCk. Inc LO0, seeing
boat from shore making toward a neutral yes
caught sight of the launch and turned toward
It. The Loa lowered two boats, brought the
launch alongside, and the discharging commenced.
AS the weight in the launch diminished, the ma
chinery in connection with the torpedo was set
FIRE, and in a moment 800 pounds of dynamite
were exploded. The L0a was almost lifted ont
OF the water, and appeared developed in a mass
Of flame, which resolved itself into dense clouds
OF smoke. When this cleared away, the vessel
seemed not to have suffered, but suddenly she
went down by the stern aud disappeared. Ships
Of war and non-combatants quickly lowered
boats and picked up about forty men struggling
IN the water, of whom it is probable many VIII
die. At least $50 men persisted. The only or
saved are the second Commander (Wounded), |
the doctor and one engineer. Every house IN 1
Callao was shaken to the foundation by the ex-
plosion, and every ship in the bay shiVered az If
BY a fearful earthquake.
NEW YORK, Aug. A Herald Washington
special says: 1t was asceEtained tonight that a
policy has been decided upon BY the Adminlstra-

1y Spanish ~gunboats upon American vessels,
which will compel Spain to acknowledge what,
Turing the existence of the instruction, has al
ways been denied, namely, whether an i~nsurrec-
ION does exist on the island of Cuba, and if there
S none, by what right as a nation protesting a
friendly spirit, do war vessels Of her navy exer-
Use the right Of search conceded only IN time of
var.
The second important step has been taken BY
he Administration to prevent the recurrence of
uch complaints. The PopkattaR is now patrol
ing the Southern Cuban coast from Cape Msvasi
q Santiago, and will be relieved on the 7th inst.
" the Va1daia. This vessel, after q months
~erVice, will be followed by the AESaHcs and then
~ the Rears0rgs. If by that time cool weather
has set in, then all the vessels Of the North At
antic squadron will cruise in Cuban waters.
