Who Changed the Sabbath

The Seventh Day Adventists held two we'll
attended meetings at the tent on 9th near
street northwest yesterday at 8 o'clock. The
subject considered was the "Great Present
Truth" The speaker claimed that there is a
present truth for this generation. which is the
last message to the world. He contended that
this was the last generation, as is evidenced in
Matthew, xiv. The text taken was Peter. ii:1-l2.
Wherefore / will not be negligent to put you
always in remembrance of these things, though
We know them. and be established in the pres
emit truth" At 8 o'clock Elder ]. s. Washburn
spoke upon the subject who Changed the
Sabbath from the Seventh to the First Day of
the Week. The speaker challenged the pro
duction of a single text in the Bible showing
that the first day of the week, or Sunday, was
ever blessed and sanctified as the Sabbath. He
challenged the production Of text which
would show that Jesus Christ or the apostles
changed the Sabbath to Sunday.

boats and transports and impressed as
many merchant steamers into service as
possible.
The Balmacedists were fortunate in
securing the fast steamer "Imperial, !"
belonging to the South American COM
pany of Valparaiso, which the govern
ment used for time as a blockade run
ner. They were five times successful In
evading the Congressional feet. But
they soon concluded that blockade
breaking could not terminate the war;
and the Imperial" was turned into a
regular cruiser.
A feet was fitted out at Valparaiso,
and dispatched northward with sealed
orders. The "Imperial," "Almirante
Lynch" 4Almirante Condell," "Sar-
geante AIdea" Ga seventy-ton torpedo
boat capable of attaining speed of
twenty one knots, and the "Guacolda"
comprised the fotilla.
Several Congressional boats were then
lying in the vicinity of Caldera and
Chanaral, in the open bay.
Caldera had been recently occupied by
the CongressionaliSts, and such batteries
as it had were manned by their troops.
The weather was clear and the light
house lamp was burning brightly when
the Balmacedist squadron arrived off
Caldera, which is few miles south of
Chanaral.
The Blanco Encalada lay under the

of the water. While she was thus en-
gagged, the Almirante Condell got OUT
side her, thus placing her between two
fires; but the Congressionalist corvette
went astern in the darkness unseen, the
result being that for several minutes
the Balmacedsts were firing into one an
other without knowing it. The fire from
her friends so seriously damaged the
Condell that she had to be beached.
The Magellanes, as parting compli-
ment, steamed across the bows OF the
Lynch, raked her, diSmantled every one
of her guns, killed fourteen and wounded
many more, and then triumphantly re-
tired She lost thirty men. but was
still fit for action, and reached Caldera
without mishap. The action-which
lasted an hour-seems to have been as
we'll planned and as heroic an affair as
Is to be found in naval annals. Either
on her way south or on her return she
encountered the topedo-boat Guacolda
and sank her. This seems the course OF
the Chiian naval war.
The bombardment Of Iquique by the
Congressional party was one OF the most
cruel outrages of modern times Iquique
is city which exports large quantities
of nitrates, and is an important post for
the BalmacediSts. Opportunity was
given for foreigners to leave previous to
the fusillade, but large number of per-
sons, including women and children,
were ruthlessly killed and over two hun
dred houses DESTROYED

batteries of Caldera, moored to buoy
about a mile off shore, accompanied only
by the transport Bio Bio. BY some neg
lect she had no picket boats out or tor
pedo nets rugged and her fires were
banked None of the ordinary precau-
tions were taken; even the guns were
not cleared for action. Commander
Fuentes, of the Almirante Lynch, who
was senior officer, was informed by Com
mander Morago, OF the Almirante Con-
dell, which was leading, of the presence
of the battleship, and it would seem as if
he had signalled to his other conSorts to
remain outside, and then to have ordered
the Almirante Condell to proceed and to
have followed her.
The battle is thus described by the
London Graphic:
The Condell had slowed down broad
on the starboard beam of the Blanco
Encalada, and the Lynch, after seeing
the Condelfs torredoes discharged, ap-
pears to have passed on inside of her,
within fifty feet Of the aBlanco, and to
have fred two more torpedoes as she
went, but they also missed. A hand
grenade thrown from the blanco eK-
ploded on the Lynch's deck and killed
six men. The Lynch now seems to have
turned to port, and to have again passed
the Blanco, this time so closely as to al
most touch her. As she went she fired
her third torpedo, which struck the
Ranc0 just abaft the citadel on the
starhoard side, and rent a great

Somewhere between CaTdera and Chan
aral the @Almirante Lynch" and CAL
mirante Condell" picked up the "Sar-
geante Aldea;" and the three vessels
sighted the Congressionalist corvette
"MagelIanes" lying with steam up off
the latter port. According to what
appears to be the most trustworthy
report of what followed, the flotilla
divided and approached at half-speed,
the "Condell" on the starboard, and the
"Aldea" on the port side of the SMagel-
lanes" and the Lynch" steaming up
bows on with the intention Of ramming.
The people of the "Magellanes" fought
with the utmost GOODNESS and gallantry,
and made every shot tell, the Hotchkiss
guns doing particularly good work. The
Lynch" had lost funnel on the pre-
vious day; she now lost the other; the
"Aldea" also lost her funnel, and was
literally riddled. The "Lynch" aimed
Whitehead at the enemy; but the
"Magellanes" managed, by dropping a
heavy projectle in it's course, to divert
the weapon, which found its billet in
the merchant barque Bertha E., and
sank her, although happily there
was time for most of her crew
to save themselves in the boats AT
the height of the firing the ensign OF the
"Magellanes" was shot from her peak,
and fell into the water, but seaman
sprang after it and recovered it. BY this

time the Balmacedist vessels had had
enough, and signal was made for the
action to cease; Whereupon the fotilla
slowly drew off, very badly injured. But
although the "Magellanes" had lost
twenty-five killed and sixty wounded,
and was severely damaged, the pursued

lanes" seems to have at once
set her killed and wounded men
on shore, and to have filed up her COM
plement; for a very short time after
wards her gallant captain started south
ward again with the intention of sur
prising his defeated enemies in their
own harbor at Valparaiso. She arrived
off the place, and, stealing in under
cover of the darkness, first made her
presence known by firing broadside
into the unluekY Sargeante Aldea, which
she nearly destroyed. The alarm was
sounded in the forts, but the gUnners for
fear of injuring their friends, were
