Ry telerraph 10 tho Dispatch. I


SAX FRAScIsco, CAL, April 1.-Private
advices from Valparaiso state that the
ironclad Blanco. belonging to the insur-
gents. recently attempted TO blow up the
armed Government tug Florence with a
bsh torpedo. The torpedo missed the tug.
but struck big floating dry-dock in the
harbor. blowing it to pieces. The Blanco
was thereupon treated TO hot tire of shot
and shell from every gun in the forts and
steamed out of the harbor. The same night
a torpedo-boat and the tug Florence stole
out 10 attack the BlancO. The ironclad
was not alone, being in company with the
slooop-of-war OHiggins. Both ships
compelled the Government vessels TO
return TO the harbor and followed in hot
pursuit. A heavy shell from the Blanco
struck the Florence, blowing her entirely
out of the water, and every one of her
crew of seventeen men was either killed or
wounded. A broadside from the OlHig-
gins knocked the torpedo-boat all to
pieces. The two insurgent vessels then
turned their attention TO the forts, and a
lively battle resulted. A shell from the
fort struck the 0'Higgins and went clear
through her. Another shell caused gun
on her quarterback 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 range OF the guns
in the forts

"IHE WAYS OF AMERICAN PAPERS"
Britaiu's Sleepy "Thunderer Makes
Merry from It's Safe Retreat.


rBy Anglo-American cable TO the Dispatch.l
LONDON, Enc, April 2.-The Times satirl-
cally comments on the ways OF the Amerl-
can newspapers which, it says. proudly
boast of Americas superior interests 10
the outer world, yet in this matter every
body is interviewed and there is such n
flutter that the raciest domestic scandals
fail 10 excite any interest. and modest
diulomatist who hitherto was almost OBJ
scure is now as famous as pugilist and an
opera-singer.
The Tunes thinks that the assertion that
Premier di Rudini is playing TO the gallery
is correct; but, il adds, nobody is such an
adept at this sort of thing as Secretary
Blaine, and therefore his newspapers are
probably right in thus speaking OF the
italian Premier, as long familiarity with
the symptoms has made their diagnosis in-
falllble. The paper concludes with an ex-
preston Of surprise that King Humbert,
considering all the advantages that Italy
enjoys in her friendship with America,
should allow anything beyond o tempo
rary cloud to intervene between them.

LONDON, Eng. April 1.-The Telegraph
saws: 1T could scarcely appear practical
TO italy TO be told that il is uncertain
whether the murdered men were Italians,
whilst they were lynched and the lyncbng
was palliated on the ground that they wore
members of an Italian secret society.
The contrast between the savage precipi-
fancy of the slayers, the cOmplacency Of
the municipal authorities of New Orleans,
and the deliberate skepticism Of Mr.. Blaine
might we'll have moved less high-spirited
nation than Italy to resolute measures.
We are deeply grieved TO declare that the
opinion OF the civilized world ranges itself
against America. IL is scarcely wise for
American papers 10 buster. The Italian
navy is in a condition Of the highest eff
cheney. The hope Of a speedy and equita-
bic adjustment of this perilous quarrel lies
with the vast body of upright and honor
able feeling prevailing in the republic.
There is no prospect that King Humbert
will abate his just demand"

THE ALLIANCE AND THE JUTE TRUST
Poaco on the subject Of Bagging-Terms
OF the Treaty.
Rv telegraph 10 the Dispatch


ATLANTA, Ga. April 1.-The Farmers Al
lance and the Jute-Bagging Trust have
made peace. The proposition Of the Cord
age -Bagglng Company to supply bagging
at GN cents per yard for two pounds and
~ cents for two and half pounds has
been accepted. These are the maximum
prices, and competition may reduce them.
II is thought that this means the. sale in
advance of bagging tor at least half the
cotton crop. Heretofore the farmers have
obeyed the Alliance. although it caused
them 10 buy bagging at over 81 u bale ex-
ira cost. Now that the price Of jute bag;
ging is reduced the Alliance men will
adopt il. The Cordage Company repre-
sents all but one of the jute-bagging fac
tories in the trust two years ago. The
factory left out is said to be located at
Charleston. The action of the Alliance
leaves the farmers free to buy cotton-bag-
ging if they prefer, but as jute Is cheaper
few Of them. il is believed, will buy cot
