favorable wind blowing, and the

UNEXPECTED ATTACK.
A BLOODY NAVAL BATTLE IN VAL
PARAISO HARBOR.
The Magellanes Follows Up Her Victory
in Charanell Bay by a Bolder Stroke.
Government Torpedo Boats Badly
Crippled-One Hundred Men Killed.

SAN Francisco, June Mail advices
received here give an account OF battle
fought in Valparaiso harbor April 2Sth,
between the Chilean insurgent vessel
Magellanes and the government torpedo
vessels Sargeants Aldea, 'Condell and
Lynch, four days after the naval en-
gagement between the same vessels in
Charanell bay. The Magellanes came
out victorious in the Charanell engage
ment, and at once decided to pursue the
government vessels. and if possible de-
stroy them before they could be reftted
for sea. The crews of the government
vessels did not expect the attack to be
renewed so soon, and the presence of
three foreign ships of war in the harbor
seemed to make them imagine their
safety was more secure. The Magellanes
stole in the harbor at night, and rang
ing alongside the crippled Aldea,
poured broadside into her, killing
Kidding her and dismounting her guns.
The alarm was sounded in the forts, but
the vessels lay so close together that the
fear of hitting their own vessels.
The Magellanes next attacked the
Lynch, which returned her fire. A boat
which had been sent from the Lynch
with ten men 20 attack the Magellanes
with torpedo, was blown out of the
water and the smokestack of the Lynch
carried away.
In the meantime the Condell steamed
to the outside of the Magellanes, thus
getting the latter between two fires.
The Magellanes was shot through and
through and over forty of her crew were
soon dead or dying.
The night was dark and her captain
resorted to ruse to escape from his
dangerous position. The Magellanes
ceased firing and went astern, leaving
the two government vessels pouring shot
into each other until the Condell began
filling rapidly. The trick was not dis
covered untilthe Magellanes had crossed
the stern of the Condell, pouring in a
broadside that nearly demolished
the latter, dismounted every gun
and killed fourteen and wound
ed six of the Condell's crew.
The Magelanes then steamed out of
the harbor, followed by shower of shot
and shells, one OF which exploded on
her decks, tearing big hole, dismount-
ing pivot gun and killing four men.
The vessel then steamed to Caldera.
The fight was one of the hottest of the
war, and over one hundred men were
killed and many wounded. The Condell
had to be beached to prevent her sink
ing, and the Aldea was so badly dam
aged that it will take long time to re-
pair her. The Lynch was also badly
damaged, and in addition to the loss of
half OF her crew, four out Of six officers
were killed, including her commander

BARDsLEY's ACCOUNTS.

Expert Accountants Find a Very Mixed
Up State of Affairs.
PHILADELPHIA, June 4.-The report of
the experts, who have been investigat-
ing the accounts of Ex-City Treasurer
Bardsley, was transmitted to the city
council this afternoon by Mayor Stuart.
The report is voluminous one, and
gives in detail Bardsley's accounts with
various banks. The report shows that
on the 21st of May, according to the
books of the city treasurer's Office, there
was on hand 2,315 ,608 belonging to
the city. OF this amount the books of
the city treasurer show there was on de-
posit in the Keystone bank
81. .437 900. This sum is claimed by
Receiver Hardly and Bank Examiner
Drew to be wrong, and that the banks
books show the actual deposit to have
been $639, ,369 Bardsley had beeu car
rying as cash, in the city treasury, $780, :
DAB of worthless checks drawn on the
keystone bank. In some way not yet
definitely known he raised the amount
in cash and substituted it for checks.
He then went to Bank Examiner Drew
and asked that this amount be charged
to his account, as city treasurer, in the
Keystone bank, and credited to his per-
sonal account. This Drew refused to
do. The only specific evidence of any
criminal act of Bardsley with city money
is the misappropriating of $39,575, for
which he was indicted. The examina-
tion is still going on.

LONDON, June 4.-The Telegraph's st.

able account of the destitution prevail
ing in the districts of Nazan, Simbirsk,
Samara, Nizhni, Novgorod and Penza.
The correspondent says hundreds of per-
sons have died of hunger in the past five
weeks. The peasants in the Simbirsk
and Samara districts revolted and at
tackled the corn magazines. A number
of conflicts occurred between peasants
and troops, and several persons were
killed and many injured. Gloomy har-
vest prospects increase the horror of the
situation. The minister of the interior
has forbidden any reference to the
famine by the newspapers.
