Terrible Work OF a Tornado.

SAN FRANCIsCO, April 22.-Private
advices from Valparaiso by steamer
from Panama this morning report the
blowing up of the wooden gunboat Pill
comayo, belonging to the insurgents.
The government late one night sent
out steam launch fitted up as a tor
pedo boat, with the hope of getting rid
OF some Of the ships blockading the
port. The boat steered for vessel
supposed to be the Blanco Encalada, a
big lronclad that has played havoc with
the port on several occasions. The
launch crept close to the cruiser, whose
crew, never dreaming of an attack
from that quarter, were trying to make
out what was going on in the harbor,
where guns and rockets were being
lired in order to attract the attention Of
the rebel ships. When close to the
vessel it was discovered that it was the
PIlcomayo instead of the Blanco. 1t
was too late to rectify the mistake, so
the torpedo was sent on its mission of
destruction. 1t struck the gunboat
fair amidshlp and lifted her clean out
of the water. The government claims
that the entire crew of the gunboat,
numbering 135 men, was lost. The
rebels state that thirty OF the crew, in
Gliding the captain, were picked up by
one OF the boats Of the inSurgent fleet

Foster on Jewish Immigration.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3-Secretary Foster
has written letter in answer to one ad-
dressed him by prominent Hebrews of
this city. The latter letter asks that
considering that the Jewish residents of
this country will take charge of Russian
Jews who seek q home in the United
States and see that they do not become
public charges, the statutes of this country
be not so interpreted as TO class them with
paupers. Secretary Foster, while i'm
pressing upon his correspondents the ne
cessity of averting an irruption of desti-
tute aliens, and also of seeing that those
who do come be widely distributed so as
to supply real want in scattered commu-
ties, says he will rely on his correspond
ents' assurance that they will notify their
brethren in Europe of the statutes affecting
them in this country but reminds them
that any attempt to stimulate such immi-
grafton would be distinctly hostile to the

fer's Tenny. The weather was cool and
pleasant and the track IN first-class shape
for the race. There were nearly $4,000
persons at the track when the bugle
sounded for the race. Tenny was the
first to appear for his warming-up gallop,
and he pleased the critics immensely. Not
so with Longstreet He sulked at the up

into the betting ring to back Tenny.
After one break they were sent away with

out, and the great swayback rapidly closed
on the leader. The couple ran head and
head for few strides, when Hamilton
went to work on Longstreet and opened up
gap of three lengths, which he held to
the mile post Then Tenny moved up
again and Hamilton went to the whip
Lonstreet began to move away under the
lash, when Barnes drew his whip, and
once more Tenny gained on Longstreet.
But Hamilton kept steadily at work on
Longstreet and at the last furlong post
had Tenny beaten and passed under the
wire winner by six lengths. Time, 2:0715.

soon covers this ground and chokes out

TWO QUARRElING WOMEN,

Death of One Husband.

CRoToN LANDING, n. Y, Aug. 81.
Newton Baker, private secretary of
Robert Ingersoll, and a resident of this
village, was shot IA the arm, head, and
just over the heart by Orville Anderson in
front of the town hall Saturday evening.
His condition is critical. Baker and An
derson live in the same house, and the
shooting was the result of quarreiing be-
tween their wives. Both men drew pis-
tolls when they met. Bakers wife was
present when the fight took place and her
frantic attempts to shield her husband
probably had not a little to do with his
getting shot. 1t was while she was strug-
Cling with him that Anderson closed in,
and moment later Mrs Baker tainted.
During the three-handed struggle Baker
dropped his pistol, and Immediately
thereafter Anderson fired the three shots.
He then walked coolly away leaving

pavement.
