Particular Of a Battle.

CHICAGO, III. May ia special dis,
patch from Washington says: An impor-
tant cablegram in regard to the Gillian stu.
alton has been received at the state depart
meut. 1t is from Consul Daugherty. Callao,
Peru, and related to the battle which had
been fought in that neighborhood. The
consul cabled that Gillian man-of-war had
been worsted by the insurgent cruiser. and
further stated that the Peruvian authori-
ties had refused to allow the man-of-w war to
make repairs and fit out again.
The consul does not give the name of the
ship, but it was probably one OF the large
cruisers of which the Balmaceda govern
ment kept control As Callao is several
hundred miles north of Iquigue, the insur-
gents headquarters, the inference is that
the civil war is far from ended, and that
the insurgents equal the government in
naval strength.
The action Of the Peruvian authorities
would indicate that they are not friendly
to Balmaceia's government, and probably
recognize it simply on level with the in
surgents as beligerent power.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Secretary Tracy
and Assistant Secretary Seeley are absent
from the navy department to-day, and no
one i'll the building in authority seems to
have any late news from the Pacific coast.
Suggestion of a conflict between the United
States steamship Charleston and the Chill
ian rebel cruiser Esmeralda, excites con-
siderable interest because the latter is q
formidable adversary. The Esmeralda was
launched in 1888. and is one of the fastest
modern protected cruisers afoat, making
eighteen knots when at her best. Her
armament consists of two ten-inch guns,
such as will be used on the United States
bGttleship, Maine, rnd six siX-inch guns,
Her crew numbers 300 men. She is a good
ship" said naval officer, land could make
an ugly fight. She is not as big in displace-
ment as the Charleston. the Esmeralda be-
ing 1000 tons and the Charleston $3.50.
The Charleston's armament is six eight
inch guns, six six-inch guns, four hotch-
kiss, two gattlings and seven small rapid
firing cannonS of different calibres.
Both vessels are unarmed, but well pro-
tected The Esmeralda, if she is in the
condition reported of other rebel vessels,
must be in a bad way with foul bottom and
insufficient supplies.
1T is significant fact" added this Off
Ger, that the Esmeralda is in Mexican
waters, indicating a confidence in sympa-
thy of that government with the insurgents
and probability of supplies being fur

A HUI NAME MOVE.
Reasons Rains County's Sheriff Gives for
Moving Henry johnson from
GreenyIlle to Emory.
Specigl 10 the Gazette.


GREENvILLE. TEX. May 12-Sherif ".
F. Montgomery of Rains county has
written letter to parties in this city
regarding the removal Of Henry Johnson
from the Jail nj this place 10 Emory.
He states that his reason for so doing was
not the outgrowth of alleged i'll feeling on
the part of the people of Emory because
of the petition OF Hunt county people for
executive clemency in behalf of Johnson
but was his own act, in the conscientious
discharge of official duty; that johnson
was not taken to the Greenville Jail be-
cause of the insecurity OF the Jail at
Emory. His removal to this place was
dictated by humane impulse. He was
the sole inmate of the Emory jail, and be-
cause OF an appeal, seven months would
lapse ere sentence would be pronounced :;
he was illiterate, could not read, and
il was feared solitary con-
finement for so long time would impair
his mind, or at least prove a torture. The
same causes no longer exist, there being
other inmates of the Emory Jail: besides
the cost of his maintenance is much less in
that jail and he feels that this alone is suf-
ficient warrant for his actions. He states
that his actions are approved by the people
of Rains county, and winds up by saying
that he is ''at q loss to account for the
Laura Matildaish sympathy which is being
sQuandered upon as brutal 4 red-handed
murderer US ever received Just sentence for
his infamous crime

A PIuckv BADGER Girl

ARKANSAS CITY, kANs., FEB. "a pref
ty Wisconsin girl ended lonely journey
of ?, 900 miles by meeting young farmer
living near Mulhall, Oklahoma Territory
and without previous acquaintance ex-
cept by letter, becoming his wife. The
story is a strangely romantic one, but
bids fair to end in a happy life union foi
the young principals in the affair.
Chester SaXtOn is a young man who
drifted into Oklahoma with the boom OF
eighteen months ago. He secured fine
claim near the little town of Mulhall and
built a comfortable cottage He pros
pered in the goods of this world and was
happy as bachelors are. But he felt the
want of helpmate. Girls are scarce in
Oklahoma, and he hit upon plan to get
one from section where the premium
on men is higher and that on women
lower than in that part of the country.
One day, some four or five months ago,
the mail for the north carried want
advertisement, destined for a Chicago
paper. 1t read:
NXyANTED,-LADY CORRESPONDENT A
w well-to-do young farmer wishes TO cor
respond with a young lady. She must be well
educated and good looking.
The advertisement was seen by a pretty
girl who thought she filled the bill, and
two weeks later letter, addressed in a
neat feminine hand, was passed through
the window Of the little post-oflice at
Mulhall 1t was dated at River Falls,
Wis, and was signed Nellie A. Virgins.
She wrote in modest, unassuming way,
and her letter created such favorable
impression on Saxton that he answered
it. Those two letters were the first of
many, in which came friendship, love,
and finally proposal of marriage and an
acceptance.
Saxton had to remain at home and look
after the cattle and the crops, and could
noC go to his lady love; so, when the rel
cumstnnces were explained to her, she
Immediately declared that she would
come to him. So it was that when the
train from the East reached here Satur-
day, a broad-shouldered, y-looking
young fellow was at the depot, impa-
tiently awaiting to grasp the hand of a
sweet faced girl who stepped from the
sleeping-car. They went to the hotel,
talked the matter over, and that after
noon were duly married. They left few
hours later for Mulhall.
