incident in connection with the Chilian
difficulty, has not before been made
public. After the attack on the sailors
OF the Baltimore, excitement ran high in
Valparaiso. As Will be remembered,
rumors were thick and frequent that the
Chiiians intended to attack the Balti-
more. The naval demonstrations on
their part were very threatening, and of
such a character that Captain Schley
felt impelled to put his ship in order ior
a hot fight, if it was forced upon him.
According to the reports a combined at
tack was to be made upon the Baltimore
by the Chilian cruisers, the Esmeralda,
the Almirante, the Cochran and the tor
pedo Vessels. The idea of the Chilians
was with their force they could make a
complete wreck of the Baltimore in a
very short time. Captain Schley did
not think so. At any rate he was ready
to give them a warm reception on either
side of the Baltimore.
Between the range of her guns and the
Chilian cruisers lay the German man
of-war Liepsic and the English man-of-
war Melobomene. Captain Schley had
determined, in case of attack, to let the
torpedo boats go in the beginning and
direct his attention to the work of dis
abling the cruisers, but he wanted to
have them in the line with his guns.
Getting in his gig, he first boarded the
German man-of-war and stated his views
and wishes to her commander. The
German captain promptly said he would
get out of the way at once and give the
Baltimore fair show. Captain Schley
then went to the Melopeomen. Her
captain did not show the spirit of ac-
commodation of the German. He said
his ship was in very good anchorage,
and he did not see why he should move.
| After some further conversation he con-
sented to comply with the request of
Captain Schley, and said that he too
would get out of the way. AS it hap
pened, the Chilians either abandoned
their attention to attack, or never enter
tanned it. Otherwise there would doubt
less have occurred one of the most re-
markable naval engagements of history.
