whose features were disfgured by
masks, stopped a car in which Mr..
Charles Perry was riding. After shoot

who thereupon hastily departed. Mr..
Perry, who is in a critical condition as a
consequence of his injuries, had twice
previously been fired upon, but ON both

TRACY RIDIcULEs 1T.

The RumOr That the Yorktown Had Been

NEW YORK, Jan. ia special to The
Herald from Washington says:
A rumor was in circulation here Mon
day night that the United States cruiser
Yorktown had been fred upon in the
harbor of Valparaiso by the Chilians.
This rumOr caused great excitement for
a while. When the story was reported
to Secretary Tracy he treated it very
lightly and was disposed to ridicule it.
He added that he had no news whatever
to communicate to the press.

The Cruiser BaItimore.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 19.-The Call
Monday morning stated that the cruiser
Baltimore, now at Mare Island navy
yard, has received orders to leave on
Wednesday for the south. She will go
direct to Acapulco or Callao without a
stop. Nothing can be learned to show
that she will be joined by the Charles
ton or the San Francisco, now at San
Diego. Cartain Schley and all the Off
GERS of the Baltimore, whose cruise has
expired, have asked to be reassigned to
the ship on the understanding that
trouble occurs with Chill.
Nearly all the time expired sailors on
the cruiser have also re-enlisted. 1t is
also stated that the Mohican, wooden
vessel, has been ordered TO leave in a day
or two for Panama. The Mohican is
now at Mare Island, nearly ready for sea.
Shortly after the Baltimore arrived at
the navy yard, each gun was provided
with sixty rounds of ammunition. This
has been increased to one hundred. Her
main battery is being carefully looked
after, and her guns are being regulated
for concentration of FIRE.
A number of naval officers on this
coast have received orders by telegraph
to report to the admiral on the Pacific
station for special duty. A large force

New YORK. Jan. i9.-The Recorders
| Washington special says long dispatch
was received Monday afternoon at the
navy department from Commander
| Evans.
Captain Evans has reported to the de-
| partment that four of the best cruisers
of the Gillian navy will leave Valpa-
raise Jan. 90, for the Straits of Magellan,
with a torpedo boat besides.
From another officer comes the addi-
tional information that the captain of
one of the English ships of war in those
waters said that the Gillian commander
informed him that the fleet was going
on a special mission. you may be
astonished before long" he said.
Turn Back Fight.
This is said to mean Admiral Walkers
feet may be halted there, and directed to
turn back or risk a fight. This is the
most serious indication of Chili's hostile
intentions that the navy department has
received.
Naval officers say that it can only mean
one thing, which Is that Chill intends
opening the ball herself. The vessels
that go are said to be the Esmeralda, the
Almirante Cochrane, the Pinto, a new
armored cruiser, whose sailing rate is
nineteen knots, and the Condell, the IA
nous fast torpedo boat that blew up the
Encalado.
Admiral Walker, in his flagship, the
Chicago, arrived at Montevideo Jan. II.
He was Monday informed of what
might await him and warned to make
ready for it. For the first time there is
real alarm here at the threatened danger
to Admiral Walker. His squadron is
not equipped with torpedOeS, and the
Chicago might be blown up in spite of
the utmost vigilance. 1t would be a
daring and plucky attempt, but so was
the successful attempt on the Blanco
Encalada.

partment that he is taking the most ex-
treIne precautions, on account of what |
he has been told, for the safety OF the |
