ed to follow their example but were
surrounded by Balmaceda's old
veterans and shot down to man.
Shortly after noon Canto again at
tackled Balmaceda's forces both by
front and flank movement. Bar
bosa and Alzarracea were both slain
and their men being left without
leaders, fled before the insurgents
like so many sheep, many fled to the
city and were Immediately followed
by Canto's men. On the 2Sth the
city was formally surrendered.
After the fall of the city came a
complete reign of terror. Many of
Canto's men were of the baser ele-
ment, who had entered the ranks for
the sake of plunder and the wretched
and villlanous way in which they
took revenge is beyond description.
The great cry of the army was
"On to Santiago! Away with Bal
macedaw
In the evening Canto left for San
tiago with a large detachment of
soldiers.
That city was surrendered without
a struggle, but was not wholly free
from crime and bloodshed, and all
possible influence was used to pre-
vent the soldiers from attacking the
American consulate.

and to add to the horror of the scene,
cold rain fell during the night.
The sun rose through hazY clouds
and blushed a deep crimson, as

The day was spent in reforming
the armies and caring for the dead
and dying, the latter work being
chiefly done by few brave women
from the city and the hospital corps
from the foreign men of war that
were in the harbor. Balmaceda's
forces were now combined under
Barbosa and Alzarracea,and were en-
trenched on the heights back of VAL

9th Canto advanced with his army
and attacked the combined govern

loss and Withdrew his men. During
the forenoon, one whole regiment

of the first opportunity, and raising
there arms above their heads, flew

 The inauguration of the summer season of light comic opera took place at the Hyperion last evening by the Katherine Germaine Opera com pany in "Amorita," :" and Manager Bunneu is to be congratulated upon giving the public this midsummer treat of opera comique. But strange as it may seem ths production was greeted by 6 comparatively small audience Con- sidering the general excellency of the troupe the elegance of it's equipment and the high class in which the opera ranks, being really moro of grand opera than opera comique, it is greatly to De regretted for 1t not to be better appreciated by . music-loving public "Amorita" Is one of Czebulka,s best productions and contains some very pretty music.
 Contrary to the expectation of all present the theater was much cooler than out in the open air, SC that one could enjoy 1t very comfortably. Katherine Germaine, the star of the company, is @ very talented singer and interprets the lead ing role in . very commendable manner. Fred Frear, the comedian, played here last winter with Digby Bell in the ssTar and Tartar" His parody on "oh, What . Difference in the Morning. caught the audience and he was encored again and again. Other members of the company fielder, Oscar Grard, Rosa Cooke and Ruth Dav- enport. The chorus is well trained and did ex- cellent work. The opera will be repeated this evening and ''Said Pasha," an oriental opera will bo produced tomorrow and Thursday even ings. summer prices prevail and it Is to be hoped that Manager Bunnell will be supported in his efforts to run light opera here this summer If this engagement is . success we may hope for some rare treat lAter tn the summer.

NOVEL AND USEFUL. Makes Three Children Happy al
 once.
 The most desirable baby carriage now on the market is the "London Car" or English go-cart, for sale by H. J. Blogg & Bro. at 699 Chapel street. It carries two hundred pounds and keeps three children happy at the same time. It is quite the style in fashionable English families, and is going to be highly popular in this coun- try.
 The body is light, but very strong, with roomy seat, upholstered in fine carriage cloth. The wheels are completely covered by 8 neat mud fender, protecting the child's clothing from becoming soiled. The body is mounted upon strong but elastic springs, making it as easy and safe as 8 baby carriage. It is provided with rear step on which 8 child can stand and which prevents the car from tipping backward. The wheels are twenty-four inches in di- ameter, and the whole elegantly finished and ornamented.
