Captain Schiey's Report of the Fight
in Valparaiso.

Captain Schiey's Report of the Fight
in Valparaiso.
Secretary Tracy, after submitting the ca
blegram received from Captain Schley of the
United States steamship Baltimore about the
ARRAY in Valparaiso, Chilli between the
American and Gillian sailors on October Is
to the President, made public the substance of
the dispatch. Captain Schley says that
careful investigation shows that Petty Off
Ger Charles Riggen, while riding in street
car, was assailed and dragged from the car
and shot and murdered by mob Of about
100 armed men. Apprentice Talbot was
assailed and cut dangerously several times
in the back, two cuts penetrating the
lungs. Coal HEAVIER Itherson was robbed
and cut dangerously in the back
several times. Coal HEAVIER Turnbull re-
ceived eighteen wounds in the back two pen
etrating his lungs. He is in a critical condi-
ton. Petty Officer Hamilton was wounded
several times in the back and other parts of
the body. Coal HEAVIER Painter and Lands
man Davidson were dangerously injured by
an assault with clubs stones and knives, and
a number of other men were dangerously
injured: ~ .,
authorities, but what disposition was made
of them cannot be learned from inability to
translate the cipher dispatches. The sur
geons Of the Baltimore are of opinion that
some of the wounds were inflicted by
bayonets, showing clearly the participation
of the Gillian police. The American sailors
we've without arms and defenseless. The in
vestlgation shows that they were sober and
were in no respect guilty Of nnisbehavior.
Two of the seriously wounded are still in
the hospital. In several instances the sail
ors of the Gillian feet rendered assistance
to the American sailors, and several of them
were arrested. Secretary Tracy would not
say whether any action in the matter had
been decided upon.
