YANKEE TARS CAN'T LAND.
SCHLEY KEEPS HIS MEN ON BOARD
THE BALTIMORE.

The Valparaiso Populacs Still in an Ugly
Mood-Even q British Subject Who Is
Valuable Witness, Is Forced to Seek
Refuge.
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE ASSOCIATED
PREss.l
VALPARAISO, Dec. II. - There is no
change in the attitude displayed here
toward the Baltimore, or in the attitude of
the Chilean public toward Americans in
general. The officers of the Baltimore come
ashore only during the day and the MEM
bers of the crew do not come ashore at any
time The officers and crew Of the other
foreign men-of-war are allowed the liberty
of the port at all times. Captain Schley is
unwilling to subject his crew to the possi-
bility of another attack, and consequently
the men are confined to the vessel.
The Captain visited the Intendente re-
Gently and informed him that he desired to
send his market boats ashore early in the
morning to obtain provisions. This is the
custom which is followed by all the men-of-
war in port, as provisions can be obtained
then better than later in the day. Early in
the morning the landing pier is crowded with
boatmen, longshoremen and the rough char
dcteTS WHO Unrest une SALOONS alonS tne
water front, and Captain Schley requested
the Intendente to give him some promise or
guarantee of police protection to his market
boats, and also to his officers who might de-
sire to come ashore at night. The Intend
ente declined to do so, and since then the
Baltimore has been supplied with provisions
by boats from the shore, which go out to the
cruiser a mile from the landing pier.
There is now living on the Baltimore
DR.. Stanley, a British subject, who has
lived in Chile for some years. He was q
witness to the attack upon Turnbull, the
Baltimore sailor who received 20 knife
wounds in the ARRAY last month, and after
ward died of his injuries.
DR.. Stanley defended the man as we'll as
he was able, and afterward took him to a
hospital and cared for him. 1t was known
that his testimony would be damaging in
this case, and about a week after
the affair occurred he was assaulted
at Vina del Mar and arrested. Efforts were
made to prevent his testimony being taken,
but when he was released from prison he
went aboard the Baltimore for protection,
and has remained there since.
The members of the crew of the Balti-
more have subscribed nearly $500 in gold
and purchased a monument to place over
the graves of Reggins and Turnbull, their
two comrades who were killed last month.
The monument has been suitably inscribed
and will be placed in position in few days.

BLOOD SHED AT PAMIR.
NATIVES BACKED BY RUSSIA GIVE
BATTLE TO THE BRITISH,

A Possible Prelude to HostilitIes Between
England and Russia-Each Side Lose.
Heavily in Killed and Wounded-Prison-
ers Captured With Russian Arms
LONDON, Dec 12.-Dispatches from Cal.
cutta, received this morning, confirm the
news of the capture of q fort near Gilgit the
most advanced British agency on the from
tier near Pamir. The Interpreters of the
official code message, however, had made a
slight mistake as to the fort captured. The
first message said that the tribesmen of
Hunza and Nagar, supposed to be instigated
by Russian agents, were threatening Fort
Chalt, near Gilgit, on the Huozel branch of
the Indus. The second dispatch said that
the fort had been captured on December 2
bv large force under Colonel Durand 1t
now appears that the fort captured was
Fort Nilt, on the same river, and between
Gilgit and Fort Chalt
On all sides are heard praises of the gal
liant conduct of Captain Aylmer, who led
the storming party. carrying a gun-cotton
petard, which he affixed to the iron-bound
gate of Fort Nilt, lit the fuse and succeeded
in blowing that institution to pieces. Fol-
lowed bv Lieutenants Boistragan and Bah
cock, Captain Aylmer and a few Sepoys
dashed into the fort and captured a gun
which had been causing much loss to the
British troops. During the engagement,
seven Sepops were killed and 26 wounded,
and eight auxiliary Kashmires were killed
and 90 wounded. The loss of the enemy is
estimated at over so killed; the exact num-
Der, however, will probably never be
known.
Russian money and Russian arms and
ammunition are said to have been found OH
some of the prisoners and on the dead. 1t
is understood, though the secret details of
the affair have not been made public that
Russian intrigues are undoubtedly at the
bottom of the affair In proof OF, this it is
reiterated that Colonel Durand was sum-
moned in October last to Simla, where he
had a series of conferences with the Viceroy
of India, the Marquis of Lsnsdowne, and
measures to meet the Russian movement
were agreed upon. Consequently REIN
forcements have been pushed toward Gilgit
ever since October, but their progress has
been delayed by bad weather and worse
roads.
1t is understood that Cabinet council to
consider the situation will be held to-day.
Additional communications between Lord
Salisbury and the Russian Ambass, dor have
taken place. In all circles the situation is
regarded as certain to lead up to Great
Britain insisting upon prompt settlement
of the Pamir question.
