hole, sixteen feet by four, In her.
The ironclad keeled over, and at once
began to sink. For brief period there
was terrible scene; but within ten
minutes the vessel disappeared, carrying
with her $50 Of her officers and men, and
leaving only her topmasts showing above
water The Condell was but little dam
aged; the Lynch had been struck twelve
times, had lost several officers and men,
and was making water rapidly. At this
crisis, and just as the Balmacedist yes
sells, having done their work, were
about to steam away, the Congressional
ist transport Aconcagua, which, though
she carries q light temporary arma-
ment, cannot be ranked as
fighting craft, appeared. and made
plucky attempt to cut Off the
torpedo gunboats. There seems to have
been misapprehensiono of orders, owing
to which, instead Of remaining off Cal
dera, the Imperial" "Sargeante AL
dea," and "Guacolda" had proceeded
northward to Chanaral. The "Acon-
cagua" was thus able to enter unob-
strrcted from the seward. Both gun
boats made for her without hesitation as
she approached, and brisk engagement
followed and lasted an hour and half.
The "Aconcagua" after time turned to
fee, but not apparently until she had
nine times hulled the "Almrante
Lynch" and had forced her to discon-
tinue the action The "Condell" pur-
sued the "Aconcagua, and would very
probably have either taken or destroyed
her had not the smoke from another
vessel OPPORTUNITY appeared on the hori-
zon to the northward The Balmacedists
concluded that they were about to be in
terfered with by the "Esmeralda" or
"O'Higgins, " and therefore gave up the
chase. but were annoyed half an hour
later to discover that the newcomer
was only the British armored cruiser
the "Warsprite, " Captain hampton, flag
ship Of Rear Admiral Hotham. Ere,
however, they were fully aware OF their
mistake, tn "Aconcagua" had got safe
ly away, and when, later in the day,
they proceeded to the northward, the
"Aconcagua" had doubled on them and
entered Calderl.

While she was thus en-

Of the water While she was thus en-
gagged, the Almirante Condell got out
side her, thus placing her between two
fires; but the Congressionalist corvette
went astern in the darkness unseen. the
result being that for several minutes
the ,Balmacedsts were firing into one an
other without knowing it. The fire from
her friends SO seriously damaged the
Condell that she had to be beachad.
The Magelanes, as parting compli
ment steamed across the bows Of the
Lynch, raked her, dismantled every one
of her guns, killed fourteen and wounded
many more, and then triumpha ltly re-
tired. She lost thirty men, but was
still fit for a"tion, and reached Caldera
without mishap. The action-which
lasted an hour-seems to have been as
we'll planned and as heroic an affair as
is to be found in naval annals Either
on her way south or on her return she
encountered the topedobcat Guacolda
and sank her. This seems the coulSe Of
the Chi. naval war.
The bombardment of Iquique by the
Congressional party was one OF the most
cruel outrages of modern times. IquiquG
is city which exports large quantities
of nitrates, and is an important post for
the Balmacedists. Opportunity was
given for foreigners to leave previous to
the tusillade, but a large number Of per-
sons, including women and children,
were ruthlessly killed and over two hun
dred houses DESTROYED.

many merchant steamers into service as
possible.
The Balmacedists were fortunate in
securing the fast steamer "Imperial,"
belonging to the South American com
pany Of Valparaiso, which the govern
ment used for time as q blockade run
ner. They were five times successful in
evading the Congressional fleet But
they soon concluded that blockade
breaking could not terminate the war,
and the "Imperal" was turned into a
regular cruiser
A feet was fitted out at Valparaiso,
and dispatched northward with sealed
orders. The "Imperial," "Almirante
Lynch" "AImirante Condell," "Sar-
geante Aldea" Ga seventy-ton torpedo
boat capable of attaining speed of
twenty one knots, and the "Guacolda"
comprised the tiotilla.
Several Congressional boats were then
lying in the vicinity of Caldera and
Chanaral, in the open bay
Caldcra had been recently occupied by
the Congressionalsts, and such batteries
as it had were manned by their troops.
The weather was clear and the light
house lamp was burning brightly when
the Balmacedist squadron arrived off
Caldera, which is few miles south of
Chanaral.
The Blanco Encalada lay under the

peao nets rugged and her fires were
banked. None of the ordinary precau
tions were taken; even the guns were
not cleared for action. Commander
FuenteS. of the Almirante Lynch, who
was senior officer, was informed by Com
mander Morago, OF the Almirante c. =
dell, which was leading, of the presence
Of the battleship, and it would seem as if
he had signalled to his other consortS to
remain outside, and then to have ordered
the Almirante Condell to proceed and to
have followed her.
The battle is thus described by the
London Graphic:
The CondeIl had slowed down broad
on the Starboard beam of the Blanco
Encalada, and the Lynch, after seeing
the Condelfs torFedoes discharged, ap-
pears to have passed on inside of her,
within fifty feet of the Banco, and to
have fired two more torpedoes as she
went. but they also missed. hand

she nearly destroyed. The alarm YVES

iBalmaceda's succes-during the long con-
sor'J tinued war between
Chill and Peru, show the great import
ance of speed and machine-g gun fire.
At the beginning of the conflict be-
tween President Balmaceda and the
Congressionalists the greater part of
the CHILEAN navy Joined the latter, the
only vessels of Importance that were
loyal to the President being the torpedo
gun-vessels "Almirante Lynch" and cal
mirante Condell," which had been but
recently built in England. Each carries
two fourteen FOUNDER quick firing guns,
two machine guns and four torpedo
launching tubes, and the proper com

The COngresSionalsts had a powerful
fleet, well manned by the best officers
and men of the country. The feet in

Somewhere between Caldera and Chan.
aral the "Almirante Lynch" and cal
mirante Condell" picked up the "Sar-
geante Aldca; and the three vessels
sighted the Congressionalist corvette
"Magellanes" lying with steam up off
the latter port According to what
appears to be the most trustworthy
report of what followed, the fotilla
divided and approached at half-speed,
the "Condell" on the starboard, and the
"Aldea" on the port side of the "Magel
lanes" and the Lynch" steaming up
bows on with the intention Of ramming.
The people of the "Magellanes" fought
with the utmost GOODNESS and gallantry,
and made every shot tell, the Hotchlliss
guns doing particularly good work. The
Lynch" had lost u funnel on the pre-
vious day; she now lost the other; the
"Aldea" also lost her funnel, and was
literally riddled. The Lynch" aimed
a Whitehead at the enemy: but the
"Magellanes" managed, by dropping a
heavy projectile in its course, to divert
the weapon, which found its billet in
the merchant barque Bertha E., and
sank her, although happily there
was time for most of her crew
to save themselves in the boats. At
the height of the firing the, ensign OF the
"Magelanes" was shot from her peak,

sprang after it and recovered it. BY this
