1t is said the machinery of all ofthem, in
Guiding the E>meralda and the Cochrane, is
in very had condition. Even the Errazuriz.
which is new ship and arrived only last
week. j. said to he in the same condition as
the other> Il is reported her boilers are
burnt out and it will be necessary to send
her to Europe for repairs before she can be
at any service.
\ slight International incident occurred
IN Valparaiso harbor on the night that the
Errazuriz arrived. She commenced using
her search lights about l o'clock in the
morning ard threw the glare all over the

find the Yorktown.

She finally threw the light across the
forecastle Of the American gunboat and
some OF the rays penetrated through the
poijs to the berth deck, where the watch

were aroused from their slumbers by the
li-h. aud a number of them went on the
for-ca>tie and sang the Star Spangled
Banner until the illumination ceased.

An article appeared two DAYS ago in La
F.o-r8-'1, paper which was recently es-
1ablIsheG in Santiago, and the tone of the
article Is entirely different from anything
which ras been published in any other
news arer in Santiago or Valparaiso The
IolIa~i.@ Is an extract:
~-art Data On :he Yankee Question.
Unfortunately We are not in possession of
al th" da,a with which it is necessary to
iIG-e ami an;IiyZ" the different features of
riie Yankee question: and we conform
our opinion only on the expression gained
10y reading the diplomatic documents
l,.cr- .v published. The matter of. greatest
Importance j.. doubtless. that relating TO the
controversy over the attack on the Balti-
L l. useless to DENY that this affair was ex- |
t,,.lss. lv wrieNou~ Though il is said that it
va- the result OF drunkenness. owing to the
locality tn which Il occurred the truth is
fil;r fwD american Se1men were killed and
j. n" a others wounded. Perhaps Valparaiso
does nur remnInber anything OF such magui-

standing his, an easy and simple solution

UnaarpIy the diplomacy has not been in
