VALLEJO, January 8.-Investigation
into the assault on the Baltimore's sail
ors was continued today by Judge AID
vocate Remy and District Attorney
Garter. At l o'clock two type writer
copies of tbs first day and half's pro-
ceeuings were mailed in registered LETT
ters to the secretary of the navy at
Washington.
The facts adduced today, willie most
ly in confederation of yesterdays testl-
mony, brought forth more strongly than
ever the fact that the assault had been
planned before hand. At the same
time Riggin was lying on the pavement
whli5 two policemen idly watched the
mob plungin4 knives into his back, two
negro coal beavers IN a distant part of
the city were flying before the mob of
chilean an-of-war's men, who finally
overtaking them, stabbed one and rob-
bed the other of ali of his money. An
other man in still a third part of the
district was chased and thrown into the
bay and would have been drowned but
for the protection given him by French
naval officer.
The only thing to the credit of the
Ohileans SO far is that squad of army
officers escorted five or SIX of the BaltIS
more's sailors to the wharf and sent
them aboard the ship. The claim made
by the prucurator fiscal OF Valparaiso,
tnot all out two witnesses testified tEat
the police had done their duty, las been
com pletely demolished. OF seven wit
nesses so far examined five state they
testified to the exact contrary befUIe
the Chilean court. 1t is also becoming
evident that the Baltimore men were
really sober when on shore that October
afternoon. Not only DO they assert this
themselves but statements of their Of
ticers and the character of the men
prove it. Captain ochley says be saw
number OF them only twenty minutes
before the row occurred and was aston
ished to see how sober and we'll behaved
they were. Forty three of the men who
were ashore Were petty officers and all
were men who received special privll-
eyes on account of long continued good
conduct All had regulations to lose
Petty officers are promoted TO that rank
for eff fi:Iency, 10. & service, sober and
general good conduct, ana are not ac-
custoned TO get drunk.
The WORK of the commission is now
proceeding rapidly and wall be finished
in a week. 1t has just become known
to the officers of The Baltimore that

NAL court at Valparaiso on charge
even yet unknown, convicted and SEN
| tened to five years imprisonment with
out Captain Schley or himself being in
formed that be Was under trial and I'D
face Of the Hrltten stats ment to 81 hley
Dy the Valparaiso authorities that no
| charges were pending against the Ball
