Terrible Mistake Of a Chilean
Vessel.
The PenSaCOla'S Steam Launch Destroyed
by a TOrpGdO-Boat
Five United States Sailors Instantly Killed.
BalmaCeda Puts 10 Death
Three Rebels.
Epecial to THE MORNING CALI.

New YORK. July PA correspondent
at CallaO, Peru, under date of June oath,
writes to his paper thus: The man-ot-war
Pensacola of the United States Navy has
just arrived hereafter an exciting run along
the Chilean coast, and | send you the first
news of a thrilling accident at africa,
Chile, by which five sailors of the PEN
was blown up in the harbor Of africa by the
Chilean torpedo-boat Condell, and every man
on board killed. The list of dead includes:
o. Smith, New York; William Hayes,
Brooklyn; Frank Peckham, Newark, n. j. :;
Teddy O'Rourke, Huntington. L. l. Arthur
E. Dykeman, Pearsal!s, L. l.
The attack took place on the evening of
June 1st. The Condell stole into the harbor
about O'clock in the evening. There was
heavg fog and objects at the distance of
100 yards could not be seen with any dis
tinctness. The steam launch had left Pensa-
cola on the regular evening trip to shore, and
was making her way slowly, when sud-
denly those on the man-of-war saw the lit
tie boat lifted completely out of the water.
The quiet that followed told plainly that
the five men on board the launch had been
killed. The search light of the PEN
sac0la was bought into play, and at
the same instant orders were given to lower
the boats. The Condell was discovered only
a short distance away. The Chilean cruiser
had mistaken the launch for the insurgent
boat and used a torpedo with deadly effect.
There was intense excitement.
ANOTHER STORY
NEW YORK, July 24.-The World has re-
ceived, under the date Callao, June oath,
letter stating that the steam launch of
the Pensacola was blown up at africa on the
night of June 1st, while on her way ashore,
by the Chilean tnrpedo-b0at COndell, and
hve sailors killed. The Condel had mis-
taken the launch for an insurgent boat.
Apologies were made for the fatal and
stupid blunder.
The story was not credited by Commodore
Irving, c0mmL8ndaut at the navy-yard. He
says: "Oaly to-day L received letter from
Admiral MeCann. dated July 9th, from
Callao. He writes from on board the Bal
timore, and informs me that at that time
the Pensacola was there, and was preparing
to sail july 14th for San Francisco. If any
such occurrence as you speak of had taken
place the Admiral would certainly have
mentioned it,
