Destruction ofs Chilian Transport BY the
Explosion Of 800 Pounds OF Dynamite.

Destruction of . Chilian Transport By the
Explosion Of 800 Pounds Of Dynamite.
PANAMA, August 3.-The &r and
Herald of July 22 has the story of the
loss OF the Chilian transport l.oa in
Calloa. A Peruvian officer procuring a
suitable LAUGH put q torpedo into it,
and over this he placed false bottom
resting on springs, which were kept
down by the weight OF the cargo. lie
then loaded it with q very choice as.
sortment OF fruits, vegetables and flow.
ers, and towing it out towards the
blockading squadron before daylight, set
it adrift. All day long that
launch hoated about, but towards 5
o'clock in the evening, fearing it would
fall into neutral hands, a boat was sent
out to bring it back. The Loa seeing a
boat from shore making towards the
neutral vessels, caught sight OF the
launch and turned towards il. The Loa
lowered two boats to fetch in the prize,
and it was brought alongside, and the
discharge OF the cargo commenced. As
the weight in the launch WAS dimin-
ished the machinery in connection
with the torpedo was set free, and in a
moment three hundred pounds of dy-
mantle were exploded. The Loa was
almost lifted out of water and appeared
enveloped in mass OF flames, which
dissolved itself to dense clouds OF black
smoke. When this was cleared awav
the vessel seemed not to have suffered,
but suddenly che went down by the
stern and disappeared. The blocka.
ding vessels were too far away to give
any assistance, but the ships OF war ol
the non.combatants quickly lowered
boats and picked up about forty men who
were stranging in the water, OF whom It is
probable many will die. At least l5o
men perished. The only officers saved
are the scconI commander, who was
wounded, the doctor and one engineer.
Every house in Gallon was shaken 10 i,s
foundations by the expionion' nh" eSe'y
fearful earthquake. The Peruvians say
the ChilIans in the darkness which pre-
ceded the dawn OF the 10th OF last April,
sent in a torpedo launch with the in
tention OF blowing up the Union, whose
officers and men were ignorant OF the
enemy being within hundreds OF miles
of them. Had the Union gone down
her two hundred men would have per.
ished as have those OF the Loa by the
secret blow.

The Parting With His Wife and Children.
New YORK, August 3.-Frederick Ja-
Inns Munsburg was committed to the
Toombs to-day by the coroner for the
murder Of Xavier Lindhauer, last
night. On his way to the prison from the
coroners Office, Mrs. Munsburg, with her
three little children, the Oldest Of whom
is seven years old, clinging to her skirts,
met her husband. The mother and
children presented picture OF abject
woe. "Let me speak to him." cried the
wife, catching hold of Capt. Gastlin's
arm. ''let me speak to him before he
goes to prison." To yield to her desire
was impossible, and the captain told her
80. "Give him his coat then," said the
woman. He then handed her husband
his coat. The officers entered the car
which soon passed out of sight, and
left the wife and children standing on
the corner, the centre OF sympathiz-
ing crowd. The prisoner was locked
up in the "Murderers' Row."

OLD VIRGINIA.
What the Two Wings OF the Party Are
Doing.

WASHINGTON, August 3.-Senator
Johnston, of Virginia, has LETT the city
for his home in Abingdon. He lives in
the Ninth Congressional District, where
the white Readjusters are more numer-
Gus than in any other portion OF the
State. Senator Johnston thinks that
the regular, or Debt.Payers, wing OF the
Democracy in the Ninth District will
join in the nomination OF Democratic
Readjuster for Congress, and that this
will unite both factions in the support
OF the regular Hancock electoral ticket.
Many OF the most influential Readiusters
o. that district, he says, have declared
unconditionally for the Hancock electors
chosen by the May convention, and
what is known as the National ticket
will get but few votes.

HANCOCK AND THE VETERANS.
Their Tenure of Ofice Under Hancock's
Administration.

AQmlulStTdtlOu.
WASHINGTON, August s. Within the
next few days the National Democratic
COMMITTEES will make an authoritative
statement of great Importance to the
tloatin. soldier vote Ci the country.
Since the nomination OF Hancock the
committee have been receiving letters
from various sources in which the
writers ask what would be the policy OF
the Hancock Administration as to the
tenure Of office Of disabled soldiers OF the
late war. Many veterans who are anx-
ious To wheel into the Hancock column,
especially in Pennsylvania, want some
official assurance that their maimedcom-
raies now in office should not, in any
event, be disturbed. Senator Wallace,
Chairman Of the Congressional Commit
tee, who has Just left Washington for
New York, made the statement here
that the success Of the Democratic ticket
would not mean the removal OF disabled
Union veterans from public offices.
