were stoning him. One overlook him
and knocked him down in gutter
Another then picked up a paving stone,
and raising it high above his head
brought it down son his prostrate body.
The heavy stone struck the sailor on the

The lady with me tainted at the sight
The police came up aud carried the

The captain said he had seen on the
day of the assault about twenty of the
Baltimore sailors on shore, and all ap
peared sober. Those he saw attacked

for Immediate Action.
VALLEJO, CAL, Jan Is The navy de-
partment is losing no time in fitting out
vessels for immediate dispatch to Chile,
should the occasion require it. Not a
single hour is being lost in repairing the
Baltimore. She cannot possibly leave
under week, but is in the stream, re-
ceiving coal supplies. Workmen are on
board, and her machinery is rapidly re-
ceiving thorough overhauling. The
main battery is carefully looked after,
and the guns are being regulated for
concentration oil fire.
For the first time in years workmen
have taken themselves to the monitor
Comanche, and her machinery is
being overhauled The orders to dock
the monitor have been countermanded,
owing to the expected arrival of the
Charleston, and she will receive atten-
tion first. 1t is not disputed that the
dry dock is to be kept for the Charles
ton, and her coming is expected hourly.
She will be foated in at once and her
wants attended to. If steam is gotten
up on the monitor Comanche it will
be the first time in nearly twenty years.
Forty eight hours will be sufficient time

manche. The Comanche is single
turreted monitor with two 15 inch
smooth bore guns.
The wooden corvette Mohican is in
the stream, her repairs having been
completed. Unconfirmed reports say
she has received orders to proceed at
once to Panama.
A large force OF men are at work on
the Adams and the Ranger.
Machinists and coppersmiths worked

Today the ship took on one thousand

the maps were cent merely that the Off

Journal saws: Advcrs have been re-

leading steamship companies doing bust
ness with South America, that three of
Chile's largest ships sailed for the straits
Saturday from Valparaiso, evidently to
reinforce the Admiral Cochran,
now lying there, Chile's most
powerful vessel. The purpose is taken
to be to blockade the straits of Magellan
and prevent the passage OF our ships to

a naval battle at the straits as the first
