The fight opened at 8 a. m. by shot
from the Hnascar between the CHILEAN
ships. Pratt answered by a broadside and
retired to shoal water, getting between
the Huascar and the town SO us to make
the Pcruvians cautious about firing on
their friends inland. The Independence
steamed toward the Coyadonga, which
also ran to shoal water, A duel took place
for two hours between the Huascar and
the Esmeralda The former did not rush
to close quarters, however, as her COM
mandcr, Capt. Grau, suspected that the
Esmeralda lay in nest of submarine tor
pedoes. OPPORTUNITY for Grau, some Pc
rrvian soldiers ON shore hauled a battery
of G-pound field guns to the beach and
opened ON the Esmeralda, forcing her out
into the bay. A 300-pound shell from the
Huascar passed into the Esmeralda's en-
CINE room and exploded, wrecking the en-
gnes and killing all the engineers. The
Esmeralda's 40-pound shots had but little
effect on the finch plating of her opponent,
but her crew kept up such a fusillade with
muskets that the Peruyians imagined that
she carried machine guns.
But the accident to the Esmeralda's en-
gines was as great Il mishap to Pratt as was
the fire in the rear that drove him to close
quarters with the big ironclad. The Huas-
car was provided with powerful beak
for ranming, and the helpless Esmeralda
could not maneuver to dodge it. AS soon
as the CHILEAN was disabled, the Huascar
steamed for her at about eight knots, strik
ing her as shestood nearly motionless. The
blow was light, for the Huascar's engines
stopped when the vessel was one length
from the enemy.
Pratt's men were on deck and aloft ply
ing their muskets with such good aim that
the Peruvians were nearly all driven be-
low, and seeing that the ships were coming
together the brave CHILEAN or Briton or
what not, fourished his sword in one hand
and a revolver in the other, cried out to
''board" and jumped to the deck of the
Huascar. The contact of the vessels was
SO slight, however, that only one man had
time to follow the leader before they
parted. Pratt dashed along the deck of
the Huascar, and Grau seeing the hopeless
ness of the case, called out from the tl1rret,
''Surrender, captain; we desire to spare the
life Of a hero" Nothing daunted, the
brave Gillian opened fire upon the only
Peruvian in sight, killed him. and was
searching for other victims when a musket
ball from aloft cut him down as he was
about to ascend the turret ladder.

-
The Peruvians stood Off Iuuique all
night the Goth, and at daylight the 21st
steered for the CHILEAN vessels in the har-
Dor. The Huascar singled out the Esme-
ralda and the Independencia looked after
the Covadonga. 10 the astonishmcnt Of
his enemies ahoat and ashore Pratt hoisted
the signal for a fight. There was no es-
cape, for his vessels had d low rate of
speed. 1t would not have been dishonor-
able to have destroyed his ships aud sur
rendered officers and crews, or to have
made q feint with q few shots and then
surrendered all
But Pratt had a memory or q tradition
OF Nelson in his makeup wherever he cot
it. He was thirty-one years old and had
just been promoted to the command Of the
gallant fleet of two Anticipated vessels, one
of which, the Covadonga, he had helped
to capture from the Spaniards when he
was lad Of seventeen. On announcing his
purpose to fight for the supremacy at
Iquique, he said: "Chilians! The odds ara
against1ls, Ournag has never been lowered
in the presence Of an enemy; I hope it will
not be today. AS long as I 1ivethat flag
shall fly iilits place, and if I Gle my officers
Will know how to do their duty"

THE Ex.coNFEDERATE ENcAMpMENT.
Dissatisfaction at the Round Trip Rates

DALLAS, Tex, March 29-The ex-
Confederates of this city are some-

trip rate of the Houston and Texas
Central railroad to the reunion at
New Orleans. In an interview today
Col. w. Thompson, adjutant of the
Sterling Price Camp of Confederate
Veterans, said before the death of Ben
McCulloch, we arranged for a special
train to New Orleans to carry not
exceeding 500 Confederates for
$25 per hundred. Over that number
were to be carried at So each,
the Southern Pacific is trying
to break into these arrangements.
Here is the telegram which was sent
by Capt. A. Faulkner general pas

would not withdraw the contract and
hence the,$2.50 rate.

THE NEW COAL FIELD
The stary of Its Discovery by a Lite
Indian Boy.

Spt cial to The Statesman.
PARIS, Tex, March 29.-While
Paris is justly elated over the magni-
ficent coal field being developed at
her doors, yet the find is of deep in
terest to every section of north Texas.
The coal was first discovered by a
little Indian boy He and his mother
were returning from visit to d
friends on the other side of the
mountains and had stopped near a
small branch to eat lunch. When
they had eaten the boy led his pony
down into the branch. While he
stood ON the bank to mount it the
pony stepped on what had for years
before been considered to be ledge of
rock, knocking off piece about
the size of a mans fist. Its rich,
black color attracted the attention of
the boy. He picked it up and showed
it to his mother. They took it home
with them and the strange piece was
shown to everyone who came in. 1t
was eventually proven to be a genu-
inc article of coal and led to the pros
pecting, which has developed vein
of coal "a feet thick with a dip of 80
feet, and has been traced for seven
miles.

CLAUDE, Texas, March 29.-Yester-
day evening late man came in from
Mr.. w. M. Kings, near Palo Duro
canyon, and informed Sheriff Wilson
that man by the name of James A.
Moore was missing from bis home in
that neighborhood, and that
Mr.. King had in custody
"a man by the name of
Walter Hutchinson, whom he sus-
pected. Yesterday afternoon about
o'clock Mr.. Moore and Hutchinson
had gone into the canyon and about G
o'clock Hutchinson came out alone and
said that he had bought Mr.. Moore's
tract of land for $605, and that Moore
had started to walk to the nearest
railroad station and was going to Col
orado. Mr.. King, who was acquaint-
ed with Moore and knew that he
would not sell his section of land for
that money, and after talking to
Hutchinson for while became fully
convinced that he had killed Moore,
and so with the assistance of
two others he tied him
and sent for Mr.. Wilson and as soon
as it was light this morning Mr.. Will
son and four or five citizens, carrying
their prisoner along with them, went
in search of the missing man. They
soon came on the tracks of two men
and they recognized the tracks of
Moore's shoes and taking off Hutch
inson's shoes they found that they ex-
actly fitted the other track. They fol-
lowed the track in the soft sand for
several miles and were continually as
sured by Hutchinson that they would
not find Moore in the canyon but that
he was on his way to Colorado, but
they at last came to place where the
tracks of Moore were lost. Near
by they found blood on the
sand and grass, then in a
ravine covered with rock and sand
they found the body of Moore. Hutch
ison could hold out no longer but con-
fessed that he had killed Moore and
covered him over with the rock and
sand At the inquest it was found
that there was bullet hold in his
head little below and just behind
the left ear. 1t ranged in the direction
of the other ear. The face and eyes
had no unnatural appearance and in.
dicated that he was shot while look
ing another way and died without
a pain or struggle. 1t is thought
that Hutchison killed him supposine
that he had money on his person. Mr.
Moore was a highly respected citizer
Of our county, was quiet ard inoffen
sive, and the citizens are very indig
nant over this most horrible murder
Hutchinson has been here about foul
weeks and claims to be from Missouri
He is % years old and tall and slen
der. Public feeling is very high in
Moore's immediate neigh borhood, but
all are law abiding citizens and M
trouble is anticipated.
