THE REPORT INCORRECT.

Captain Schley Says The " Baltimore" Is
Safe.
NEW YORK, November "a great
deal of excitement was caused here
yesterday by the report that the United
States cruiser Baltimore had been sunk
in the harbor of Valparaiso, Chill, by .
torpedo from Gillian war vessel The
rumor first started very near to the
Office of the Commandment.
A prominent engineer of the yard
was seen talking outside the captains
quarters, and, when asked whether the
rumors of the destruction of the Balti-
more were true, he said to brother Of
ficer that the matter had come from
more or less official sources. Soon after
this the excitement was further in
creased by Captain Erben, through
Captain Kane and Engineer Ayres, of
the construction department, ordering
large force of men to be put to work
all night on the cruiser Miantonomah.
Then the fact leaked out that over
fifty of the employees would be kept at
work on the cruiser night and day.
The fact of a number of men being or
dered to work ON Sunday caused addi-
tional surprise among the officers and
men. During the afternoon the heads
of all the departments were conversing
about the rumors. and nothing else was
talked of. Later in the afternoon the
rumors seemed to gain credence, and
before the day force of men left the
yard, all the employees accepted as a
fact the story of the destruction OF the
Baltimore.
The theory, however, was discredited
after the receipt of a despatch from
Secretary Tracy, saying that there wa:
no foundation whatever for the report
Secretary Tracy stated that he had
just received despatch from Captain
Schley saying that everything was alb
solutely quiet there.
