BARBARlC WAR IN Chill.

Murder of Wounded Prisoner-Rcbels
Said to Have Decoyed Their Opponents
BY Fla < of Truce.
LONDON, March 16.-The Times dis
patches from Santiago give an official
version of the recent battle in Chilli
From this it appears that Col. Robeles,
who commanded the government troops
on the 9th inst, being short of pro-
visions, rashly abandoned a strong posi-
ton on Mount Sebastopole, and with
1900 infantry, twenty-five cavalry and
a few guns attacked a force of $500
rebels.
At critical moment the enemy by a
decoy truce for parley opened fire at
close range, killing and wounding two
thirds Of the government troops. Col
Robeles was shot in the foot early in
the battle, He secured another mount
after the bullet had been extracted
from his wound, but he was again
wounded in the side and was placed in
an ambulance. The rebels captured
the ambulance and their leader threat
ened to shoot all who were with the
wounded man unless Col. Robelcs was
indicated to him.
An attendant pointed out Col. Robeles.
whereupon the colonel was fired at by
the rebels and riddled with eleven balls
besides being hacked with bayonets.
A general massacre of wounded Off
GERS ensued. OF the wounded men 264
were allowed to proceed to Valparaiso,
but permission was refused to send the
body of Col. Robeles there.
The loss of the insurgents is estimated
at 800 killed and 400 wounded. No ac-
count of the battle can be procured at
present
President Ba1maceda admits the grav-
ity of the disaster, which places the
province of Tarapaca entirely in the
hands of the insurgents. He says, how
ever. that the government has 80, OOC
troops at its disposal and has an ample
supply Of funds The future operations
will probably be nearer Valparaiso

The best land is ON the hills. where apples will

Nay. peaches we've raised and ripened them too
You may not believe it, but can prove 1t is true
And pears so delicious they cannot be beat,

We have grapes, in large purple clusters they
hang on the vine,
They are COncords, though others may grow just
as fine,
Our vines stand the winter without any protec-
ton.
Only land that lays high must be your selection.
Our potatoes are fine, so meaiy and white.
In size they are large the skin clear and bright,
Better tasting pctatoes you never will find
No matter what county matter what kind.
And all other crops that farmers can grow.
Such hay, grain and roots, we surely can

Now don't say again you've nothing but deer,

James G.. Blaine answers the charge
that protection insures to the benefit
of the few and that il creates large
fortunes wrung from the laboring
masses, in the following brief, but alb
solutely true statement:
In no event can the growth of large
fortunes be laid to the charge of the
protective policy. Protection has
proved distributor of great sums OF
money; not an agency for amassing Il
in the hands of the few. The records
of our savings bank and building asso-
Citations can be appealed to Ia support
of this statement. The benefit of pro.
lection goes first and last to the men
who earned their bread in the sweat
of their faces. The suspicious and
momentous result is that never before
in the history of the world has COM
fort been enjoyed. education acquired,
and independence secured by so large
proportion of the total population
as In the United States of America. -
