BALMACEDA MAY WIN.
IF His War Ships Reach Chilli Safely He
VIII be Victorious.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Aug. An officer
of the United States steamer Pensacola,
who arrived yesterday from Chill, states
that the progress made SO far by either
party in Chill is smaH. The Congress
sional party has plenty of money, while
Balmaceda is flooding the country with
paper money. Should Balmaceda's
new cruisers arrive from Europe in
good shape to enter engagement the
insurgents will be defeated. Both par
ties are well supplied with arms and
ammunition. So t1sr only three engage
ments have been fought, and the lnsur-
gents have been victorious each time.
The insurgent vessels Esmerelda and
Cochrane joined in an expedition
against Coquimbo, and just before the
Pensacola left Iquique it was reported
they had been victorious. The report
Of the sinking of the Pensacola's launch,
Capt. Kantz said, was erroneous: The
blowing up Of an insurgent launch by
torpedo was probably the foundation
for the story.

JACK AGAIN AT WORK.
The Terror of Whitechapel Returns to
Deeds of Blood.

Ihe Terror OF " hlteChapeI returns
Deeds of Blood.
LONDON. Aug. Great excitement
was occasioned in the Whitechapel dis
trict this morning when q rumor was
rapidly passed from mouth to mouth
chat the dreaded "Jack the Ripper"
had again appeared and committed one
of the butcheries that has made his
name household terror in this most
ill-favored portion of London. That
there was reason for the excitement
there can be no denial.
At an early hour this morning, as one
OF the denizens of Whitechapel, an old
woman named Woolfe, was passing
through one of the numerous dark al
leys with which the region abounds,
she was set upon by an unknown man
armed with a sharp knife. The place
where the assault was made was q dark
and dismal one, and as the hour
was early the usual providers had
sought refuge in doorways or
under arches where they lay in drunken
slumbers. AS rows are of nightly, al
most hourly occurrence in Whitechapel,
no attention was paid, if, indeed, any
noise was heard, to what was of course
taken for one of the usual drunken
scuffies. But for the old woman it was
scuffie for life.
From what can be learned of the
circumstances surrounding the attack
it appears that the man, whom the
people of Whitechapel are firmly
convinced was the famous Ripper"
used his knife with fiendish ferocity.
He grasped the woman by the head, and.
drawing her backward, with one hand
across her mouth he silenced the cries
she would naturally have tried tc make.
while with the other hand he drew the
keen-bladed knife across her tightly
drawn throat, inflicting a terrible
wound. Then, using the knife as dag
ger, he plunged it into her body again
and again. There is deep wound on
the woman's arm which it is believed
was received while she was attempting
to ward off the furious blows aimed az
her body.
When released from the grasp o: her
assailant the woman dropped to the
ground with the blood pouring from
her wounds, and when shortly after
ward she was discovered by passing
policeman she was unconscious and IN a
dying condition. She is 20 years old.
The police are, as usual, hunting for
some clue that will lead to the identi-
1ication of the murderer, but, as in all
the other Whitechapei crimes, the as
sassin has disappeared, leaving no trace
save his mutiIated victim.
One man has been taken into custody
on suspicion of being the assassi@, but
the evidence against him is very weak,
and no Importance is attached to the

A Mexican Snake.

Cocopah Smith, an American trapper,
accompanied by Gardner, hunter, and
Espich, a Cocopah Indian, have re-
turned to Yuma, AriZ., from the Gulf of
California, and give additional details
concerning the recent earthquake
and tidal wave. About 6 O'Clock
in the morning a heavy
shock struck the country about five
miles below Lerdo, colony in the state
of Sonora, Mexico, on the Colorado
River. The sky darkened and thun
der storm arose accompanied by great
flashes of lightning. The river rose as a
huge wave from the gulf and was driven
inland, and corrals. fences and landing
places were washed away by the rush
ing waters. The shaking of the
ground increased, and the crack
ling, grinding noise of sthe crumb-
ling hills was intensified. A second
shock caused the earth to open in
many places, some assures being from
four to seven feet wide and thirty feet
long, and seemingly fathomless. The
men were thrown to the ground by the
force of the shock. About a mile from
Lerdo they noticed a assure in the
middle of the river bed into which the
Colorado was pouring with much
noise. A third shock of earthquake
destroyed three small habitations of
colonists, and cracked the remaining
ones. No human beings were lost,
but Large amount of live stock was
killed

FORT WoRTH, Tex, Oct. 10.-This

public cutlery the stock of boots and
shoes of Hampton Bros. for $500, the
Traders National bank being the

of the firm to the extent of over $4,000,
but when the deed of trust was made
by the Lamptons the bank was not
among the preferred creditors. An
attachment suit was then instituted
by the bank, and the stock levied on,
the sale today being under that at
tachment. S. M. Fry, the trustee for
the preferred creditors, has instituted
$1,000 damage suit against the bank
on account of the levy, that being the
amount the stock invoiced. An inter-
esting legal fight is ahead.

GALV ESToN, Oct. from data sc
cured from the office of the United
States weather service cotton picking
is much further advanced than is gen.
orally the case at this season OF the
wear. and the amount picked and
marketed is 80 per cent greater than
al the corresponding time last year.
On September the outlook was
rather gloomy, as the reports indi-
Gated that the drouth had cut the
crop materially short, particularly
over West and Southwest Texas, and
in many localities over Central and
Eastern Texas, where the growth OF
the plant. it was generally reported,
had been permanently checked and,
in future, the rains would be OF no
benefit. At that time many eX-
perenced cotton men placed the
average yield per acre, even with
favorable weather during the re-
mainder of the season, at about one
third of II bale; and the most
sanguinc thought it could hardly ex-
coed 36-1OO of bale. The showers,
however. during the latter part OF
September and the first of this month
materially changed the outlook, and
at present the new growth has set in
over southwestern Texas and other
horizons. where any further growth
had been despaired of, and with

this section is for fair top crop. The
