Balmaceda Claims Victory Over the Com

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-A telegram
from Valparaiso dated August "a has
been received. of which the following
is translation:
The insurgents succeeded in landing
10000 soldiers at the bay of Quinteros,
north of Valparaiso, where they start
ed along the shore toward Valparaiso
under the protection of six of their
men-of-war and eight armed transports,
besides all the boats of their fleet
provided with mitralleuses, endeavor-
ing to surprise the city by a rear attack.
A government force of 5, 900 men was
immediately dispatched from Valparai-
SO and succeeded in delaying the cross
ing OF the Aconcagua river near its
mouth, while sufficient number of
troops were moving by rail to protect
valparaiso and oppose the insurgents.
The government forces succeeded in
stopping the insurgents for forty hours
with loss to the enemy of about j, 900
OF their choicest men, notwithstanding
the fire from the insurgent fleet, be-
sides that of land forces
This operation enabled the govern
ment to select the best positions for
their 1900 arriving troops, although
this advantage cost the loss of half the |
number of the gallant division of 5000 !
men which contested the march of the |
rebels and their crossing the Aconcagua |
river.
The rebel fleet has been kept at bay |
by the fire of Fort Andes and the in |
surgent forces are deprived of the ex-
pected protection of their men of war,
while the government forces are con-
stantly receiving reinforcements from
the interior. Now the rebel forces will
be found without any possible way of
retreat. Such is their situation.

LiGHTSHIP BASKETS.
What the Crew on the South Shoal Light
ship Does to XIII Time.

|
ship Does to Kill Time.
A number of stores in Nantucket sell
what are known as lightship baskets
| They come in nests" nest consist
ing OF five or eight baskets of various
| sizes, fitting one into the other. These
baskets are made only the South Shoal
Ightship. Their manufacture has been
attempted ashore, but it has never paid.
This is because there is a very narrow
margin of profit IN them for the light
ship crew, who make them for the pur-
pose of Willing away the weary winter
hours. In summer the crew occupies
its time 'scrimshawing. an old whal-
ing term for doing ingenious mechan-
lcal work, but having aboard the South
Shoal the special meaning of preparing
the strips of wood and rattan for the
manufacture of the baskets in winter.
Ihe bottoms are turned ashore The
blocks over which the baskets are
made have been aboard the ship since
she was first anchored off the New
South Shoal in 1856. The sides of the
baskets are of white oak or hickory,
filled in with rattan, and they are round
or oval, of graceful lines and of great
durability, the sizes to a nest ranging
from pint to peck and half.
But Notwithstanding these various |
attempts at killing time, life on the
South Shoal lightship is at its best
life of desolation, with only few gulls
or Mother Carey's chickens for visitors,
who seek refuge aboard in stormy
weather. The red buoy bobbing up
and down two miles to westward has
become almost as much endeared to the
crew as if it were human companion.
A man rarely comes up from below
without casting a look over the bull
warks to see if the buoy is still there.
Fog IS dreaded, not only because it
throws pail over the sea and because
the dismal tolling of the bell adds to
the depression aboard, but also because
It hides the buoy from sight, and as the
log recedes all eyes anxiously scan the
1orlzon until the bonny buoy looms up
'ut of the mist AS the ship swings
around good deal with wind and tide,
he buoy marks the fixed point of the
compass for the crew, and thus the
men have grown to regard it with
ceiling of affectionate reliance. When
hat buoy parts and drifts away, as it
ometimes does, the crew seem as de-
'ressed as it they had lost their only
rlend in the world.-Centurv
