FOUNDERED AT SEA.

An Unknown Vessel Goes Down With All on Board-The Story of Captain Chute.
 BOSTON, Oct. 27.-Captain Chute of the schooner Seraphine, which arrived at this
 port. to-day from Bear River, N. S., re- ports experiencing very rough passage.
 Last Saturday at 4:30 p. m. when thirty five miles south from Matinicus, saw @ four-masted schooner founder with all hands. The Seraphine was in company with the ill-fated vessel all that day. First sighted her at daylight. She then wore ship and stood across our bow, at that time
 being about half mile distant from us, and as she made no attempt to signal we took no notice of her name. During all this time it was blowing a violent gale from the north west and 8 fearful sea was
 running. At 8 p. m. she again wore ship and stood to the eastward. We soon af- terward followed suit and stood away in
 the same direction. At o'clock passen ger on board called the attention of the man at the wheel to the distress signals, which were displayed at the vessels masthead. Captain Chute's attention was also called to the fact and without delay made all possible speed toward her. In running our deckload shifted, starting some stanchions, which compelled us to heave the vessel to for safety, and after 8 short delay in securing the deckload from doing further damage we again started. Before the Seraphine had gone any great distance the schooner took sudden lurch to starboard and gradually disappeared, going down bow first. On reaching the point where the vessel was seen to founder not sign of her was visible, nor was there any wreckage of any description to be seen iy, tba vicinity GsDtaip Ghuta sava aha was apparently of about 800 tons register, was painted black and had bright mast heads. He could give no further descrip- tion of her

 DEPARTMENT or STATE,
 WASHINGTON, October g, 1891.
 To Egan, American Minister, Santiago Chilli:
 immediately upon receipt of information of the assaults made on the 10th instant in the sailors belonging to the United State man war Baltimore, now in that harbor, the commander to cause an immediate and thorough inquiry to be made into the origin and incidents of that taneously to this department and to you. His report under date of yesterday has just been of the navy, who advises me that a copy of the report was forwarded by Captain Schley to you. You will observe that the board of officers this affair report that our sailors were unarmed and gave no provocation, that the assaults upon numbers and as we must eosciude, animated in their bloody work by hostility to these men as that the character of some of the wounds indi- cate that the public police or some of them took part in the attack, and will also observe that ent fault arrested and for some time held by the authorities. The friendly effort of few of the pabe pisc fb 3eers I to give suceor to our men fur States, took place on the l6th instant and yet no searching inquiry with view to the the institution of proper proceedings for the punishment of the guilty parties has been, so far as I am advised, offered to this govern ment. You will at once bring to the attention of the government of Chili the facts reported to you by Captain Schley and will inquire whether there are any qualifying facts in the possession of that government or any explana- tion to be offered of an event that has very deep ly pained the people of the United States not only by reason of the resulting death of one of sailors and the pitiless wounding of others, but even more as an apparent expression of the un- friendlness towards this government, which might put in peril the maintainance of amicable relations between the two countries If the facts are as reported by Captain Schley, this govern ment cannot doubt that the government of Chili will offer prompt and full reparatioD. You will furnish the foreign office full paraphrase of this dispatch and report promptly to this gov ernment, TSigned.1 WHARTON.
