FIERCE SEA FIGHT.
Terrific Naval Battle in the
Harbor of Valparaiso, Chilli
Over 100 Killed ina a. Gonfict
Lasting an Hour.

Aavices received from Chill describe q
naval battle as having occurred in, thehar-
borsof Valparaiso on the night Of April %,
four days after the naval engagement in
Chanaral Bay, when the insurgeRt cruiser
Magalianes was attacked by the Government
torpedo cruisers Aldeer Condell and Lynch.
In that fight the Magallanes succeeded af-
ter fierce battle in driving off the three tor
Dedo boats, and they retired to. Valparaiso.
The Magallanes, after receiving ammunition
from the lnsurgent supply ship, decided to
steam direct to Valparaiso and to attack the
three Government vessels before. they could
be repaired.
The Magallanes,. under thu cover Of dark
ness, steamed up alongside the Adea in. VAL
paraiso Harbor aad fired a breadside. which
completely riddled the torpedo boat dis
mounted nearly all of rapid-fring guns
and killed and zounded fully: half her crew.
Then the Magallanes steamed quickly for
the Lynch, b'ss the crew.of the latter were
alert. They returned the. insurgents fro,
and attempted to launch. a, torpedo. but
failed. The Condell had steamed outside
the Magalla.nes and began firing, so thai the
rebels were subjected to tho fire. Of both
Governmeat ships ard forty OF them were
killed and wounded.
The Magallanes, then, undsr. cover Of the
smoke, began to m2ye astern. and before the
fact w4s discovered. the two. Government
ships we're pouring broaisides into each
other: The trick was not discovered until
the Nagallenes had steamed across the stern
of tao Condell asnd had poured in broadside
which nearly destroyed the latter.
IN the meantime the forts could not fire
f1 fear Of hitting the Government ships.
Nhen the. Magallanas began 10 steam out Of
the harhar the forts opened their fire, but
only ono shell struck the rebel cruiser, and
that tore big hole in her deck and dis
mounted her pivot gun. She then pro-
ceeded to Caldera,
Over one hundred men ware killed in the
engagement, fully one.half Of whom were
on board the Magailanes. The Condell had
to run on the beach to prevent sinking,
while the Aldea was so badly damaged that
it will require long time to repair her
The Lynch was not seriously hurt. Three
foreign war vessels were in the harbor al
the TINA of the engagement.
