How the CHILEAN Ironclads Behaved Tn
der Heavy Fire-Many Lives Lost.
SAN FRANCISCO, April A. Private adj
vices from Valparaiso state that the
ironclad Blanco Encelada, belonging to
the insurgents, recently attempted to
blow up the armed government tug
Florence with a fish tor
pedo The torpedo missed the
tug, but struck big floating
dry-dock in the harbor blowing it TO
pieces. The Blanco Encelada was
therefore treated to hot fire of shot
and shell from every gun in the forts
and she steamed out of the harbor
The same night torpedo boat and the
tug Florence stole out to attack the
Blanco. The ironclad was not alone,
being in company with the sloop-
of-war O'Higgins. Both ships com
PEELED the government vessels to re-
turn to the harbor and followed in hot
pursuit. A heavy shell from the Blanco
struck the Florence, blowing her en-
tirely out of the water and every one
of her crew of seventeen men was
either killed or wounded. A broadside
from the O'IIiggins knocked the tor
pedo boat to pieces. The two insurgent
vessels then turned their attention
to the forts and Il lively battle en-
sued. A shen from the forts struck the
0'Higgins and went clear through her.
Another she'll caused a gun on her
quarter deck to explode. When the
smoke cleared away the deck was found
to have been literally torn out of the
vessel and nine men out of the guns
crew of twelve were blown to atoms.
The sloop was at once taken out of the
range of the guns in the forts.
News received under date of Feb
ruary 2G says the government was
hurrying troops toward Tacua. The
revolutionists have adopted bold plan.
They have determined to make move

numbering about 40. 600 is divided be-
tween the government and the rebels,

IN large universities, thought OF modern

Mr. William H. Waters, a pioneer citizen

and commercial history. He came West in
1865, and accepted the important position
of cashier in the Cincinnati Office of the
Adams Express Company. For many years
he has served as assistant superintendent of
that company, his territory OF operations
extending from Pittsburg to Texas Mr..
Waters life was an eventful one. He was
admired and loved by his fellow men, VIII G
saw in the "grand old man." as his friends
often called him, the attributes of an honest,
sturdy manhood and the gentleness of a
woman. Quiet and unostentatious, he en-
deared himself to all those with whom he
was associated in business life. His whole
nature was the reflex of human kindness
and love. The thousands who knew VIM
III. Waters in his busy life will shed a sor-
rowful tear at the sad news of his death.
1t will be hard for them TO realize that the
grand old man is no more Mr.. Waters
family consists of widow, a sister of the
late Alfred Gather, four sons and two
daughters. One of the sons, Harry g
