special messenger was sent to Baden Baden
with dispatches for the Queen. We have
reason to believe that Gladstone disapproves
of the arrangement suggested in various
quarters, that he accept a subordinate office
in the new Administration. He still ad-
heres to his intention of not resuming office,
but will cordially support the recognized
Liberal leaders, Earl Granville and Marquis
of Harrington. There has been no consulta-
tion between the Liberal leaders on the SUBJ

Arica-A Gallant Fight.
| LIMA, March 25th-The corvette Union
faced the blockade of africa, fighting seven
| hours with two Chilean ironclads and a trans-
port She discharged her entire cargo while
| fighting, and has returned to Callao. The
Union was undoubtedly sent from Callao with
arms and ammunition for the Peruvians in
the blockaded port of africa, probably under
command of Captain Villavieunco, and has
succeeded in her errand despite the Chilean
blockading vessels. In the seven hours en-
gagement it is fair to presume that the Union
was assisted by the monitor Nance Capac

lavieuncio, commander Of the Challco, has
made many successful trips with supplies for
the Peruvian forces in the southern parts Of
the republic, delivering all despite every effort
of the Chilean vessels to capture him.

the o'clock service he saw a man with
lighted candle standing behind the altar. On
going forward, the man, who had set fire to
the woodwork in the entry, and also to the
organ, fed. 1t is surmised that an organized
gang had determined upon destroying these
two churches, and the public is much excited
over the affair.
