SUNK BY A TORPEDO IN CALDERA BAY
Similar to the Fate Which Overlook the BattIeship Maine
and Her Grew in Havana Harbor.

When q great disaster occurs in time
of peace-such as the terrific explosion
In Havana harbor which converted our
splendid battleship into a steel burial
casket for so many of it's brave crew
all the world is shocked m Mortified.
In the midst Of war a similar occur
renee makes little impression; it is SIM
ply a part Of the everyday business of
fighting. In the former case IL is like
a thunder crash bursting forth on the
still air-and men leap to their feet and
throng the streets In wild excitement:
but in the tumult of battle, the same
sound would scarcely be noticed.
This probably, with the added factor
Of remoteness. is the reason why a GER
tain dramatic incident of the civil con-
fiict In Chill, barely seven years ago,
attracted SO little attention. In a num-
Der of particulars the sinking of the
Blanco Encalada in Caldera bay. bears
q striking resemblance to the destruc-
ton Of the Maine. II, too, was effected
at night by means of submerged ex-
plosives-Whitehead t~orpedoes; the crew
manifested like courage. and the loss of
life was similarly great. Yet the news
papers were singularly mute; for the
most part brief. dry statements that
such q catastrophe had occurred are all
this the searcher can CLEAN from their
files, and to learn the picturesque de-
tails he is forced to resort to official re-
ports rarely consulted except by special
lists. Here Is the story, in outline.
The usual fate of South American re-
publics had overtaken Chilli; Balmaceda
had practically made himself dictator.
Early in January, 1891, the Gillian con-
gress, with a large following of the dis
affected. had passed an act deposing
him, and war ensued. The army ad-
hered to Balmaceda. but h main
strength Of the navy was in the hands
of the congressional party. who by this
means seized military supplies, pre-
vented the transportation of troops. and
kept the coast almost in a state OF
blockade. In this state of affairs IL was
necessary to do something. The dicta-
ter had secured a few torpedo boats,
and with these IL was resolved to strike
a telling blow.
On the 21st of April. therefore. two
formidable craft OF this description. the
Candell and the Lynch. slipped out of
the harbor at Quinteros and steamed
northward. Each was provided with
