Over One Hund rcd Men Killed,
[yy Telegraph 70 the Dispatch. l

BAN FRANCISCO, CAL, June 4.-Adyices
received here from Chile describe a naval
battle as having occurred in the harbor of
Valparaiso on the night of April 2sth four
days after the naval engagement which
had occurred in Chanaral bay, when the
insurgent cruiser Magellanes was attacked
10y the Government torpedo cruisers Aldea,
Condell, and Lynch. In that engagement
which has already been described, the
Magellanes succeeded in driving of the
three Government vessels. and after a
sharp fight the Government cruisers retired to
Valparaiso.
PLUCKY ATTACK.
The bagellanes, after receiving ammunition
from the insurgents supply-shlp, decided TO
steam at once 10 Valparaiso and attack the three
GoVernment vessels before they could be re-
paired. The MaRellanes, under cover OF dark
ness, steamed up alongside the Aldea and fired
brOadside which completely riddled the tor
pedo-boat, dismOunted nearly all OF her rapid
nrlng guns, and killed and wounded fully half Of
her crew. Tho Magellanes then steamed quick
~ Tor the Lynch, but the crew OF the latter were
alert They returned the Magellnes's fire and
attempted 70 launch torpedo but failed.
sHREwD NASGCvRE.
The Condell had steamed outside tho Magel-
lanes and began firing, subiecting the latter 20
lhe hre from both OF the Government ships, kill
Ing and wOunding forty Of the Magellanes's
crow. The Inter. under cover Of the smoke
began 70 move astern, and before the fact was
discovered the two Government ships we're pour
Ing broadsides into each other. The trick was
not discovered until the Magellanes had steamed
across the stern OF the COndell and had poured
In broadside which nearly destroyed the latter
In the moan time Lhe forts could not fire owing
70 the fear OF hitting the Government ships.
OVER ONE HUNDRED MEN KILLED.
When the Magellanes began to steam out Of the
harbor the forts opened their Ere, but only one
shell struck the rebel cruiser, which tore a big
hole In her deck and dismOuntod her pivot-gun
She then proceeded 20 Caldera. Over one hun
dred mon were killed IN the engagement, fuly
one half Of whom were on board the Magellanes
The COndell had TO run on the beach 10 prevent
sinking, while the Aldca was 80 badly damaged
that II will require n long time 10 repair her. Tho
Lynch was not seriously damaged. Three for
eign war vessels were IN the harbor at the time
OF the engagement.

THE SUNDAY BASEBALL GAMES.
Some Doubt as to Their Being Played at
Seven Pines.

The article in yesterdays DTsPAToH
stating that Mr.. V. Donati was perfecting
arrangements for ball games 10 be played at
Seven Pines on Sunday, June 14th. and the Sab
bath following between American Association
clubs brought forth the following card from Mr.
b. j. Grasberger, the proprietor Of the Seven
Pines Park:
"In reply to the article in your Issue Of the 4th
instant regarding baseball at Seven Pines
on Sunday, will state that have never entered
into any such arrangement with Mr.. Donati or
any one else, and neither will do so, as hearth
ly disapprove Of eny such proceeding on the Sab
bath. / make this statement In difference to
myself as proprietor OF the Seven-Pines Park.
OTHER sPors FOR THE GAMES.
A DISPATCH reporter called last night 70 see
Mr.. DOnau in regard 10 the above, but that gem
tleman was not in. His clerk, however, stated
that there had been some Misunderstanding
Mr.. Donati having thought all necessary arrange
ments completed. He added that other places
for the contests were under consideration which
would be equally as convenient and desirable
as the Seven Pines, and that the games an
nounced would surely be played.

Ing money enclosures. il was discovered that
one Of the letter-Openers made much less re-

once Inspector hree or four days ago. lnspec-
tors Smith and Troy were detailed TO cooperate
with Mr.. Lelbhardt, the Superintendent OF tho
Dead Letter Ofce, and the result was that to-day
Arthur u. Sayles was arrested with eight letters
in his possession, two Of which were tcst-letters
used by the inspectors and containing marked
money. Sayles confessed his guilt. At lunch
time, IL Is said, Sayles went 10 the Central Ma
tional Bank and paid two small notes with
money he had taken from letters this morning
Two marked five-dollar notes were found IN me
bank and one Of the bank officers identhed hr
Sayes as the one who paid the marked notes 70

mated that he has taken at least ~ 900 lnyes-
tigaton may probably shsw that he has taken
more than that amount.
