DR.. Tanner has experienced no nausea
since midnight, and his stomach is in an
improving condition. His features are
still pinched and drawn, and his eyes
look dull. His temper is irritable, and
the spectators annoy him. His usual
drive failed to benefit him, and he says
he will give up going out until the end of
his fast. During the morning he drank,
at intervals, less than half pint of Gro.
ton and mineral water. He is now on
the 9th day.
WASHINGTON, August 3.
The Panama Star and Herald, of July
ODD, has story Of the loss of the Chilean
transport Loa, in Callao Bay. A Peru.
Wan officer procuring a suitable launch,
put Torpedo into it, and over this
placed false bottom, resting on springs,
kept down by the weight Of the cargo.
He then loaded it with very choice
assortment of fruits, and towing it out
towards the blockading squadron before
daylight, set it adrift. All day it foated
about, but towards eve, fearing it would
fall into neutral hands, a boat was sent
to bring it back. Those on the Loa see.
ing boat from the shore making toward
the neural vessels, caught sight of the
launch and went to it. The Loa lowered
two boats, brought the launch alongside,
and began unloading it. As the weight
in the launch was diminished the ma
chinery in connection with the torpedo
was set free, and in moment 300 pounds
of dynamite exploded The Loa was
almost lifted out of the water, and ap.
peared enveloped in q 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
and disappeared. The ships of war and
-combatants quickly lowered their
boats and picked up about forty men,
who were struggling in the water, of
whom it is probable many will die. At
least $50 men persisted. The only officers
saved are the second commander, wound
ed, the doctor and one engineer. Every
house in Callao was shaken to its founds.
ton by the explosion, and every ship in
the bay shivered by fearful earthquake.
A Lima correspondent says, there ia
an ugly rumor going about that some
men entered Moquequa, where the Chilli
ans left their sick in care of the natives,
and murdered every Chilian they could
find. 1t is also rumored that the Chill.
ans have sent force to wreak q terrible
vengeance .
