BULLETINS OF VICTORY.
None Has Yet Improved on Caesars
Veni: Nidi! Nici.
From the London Mail.

From the London Mail
Not few of the great commanders of
different countries have, when announcing
victory, endeavored to improve on
Caesars famous ''Veni, vidi, vici," but the
present war has as yet produced nothing
striking of this sort. Some of the messages
of the past are worth recalling. John
Sobieski, when sending the Mussulman
standards captured before Vienna to the
pope, also sent this message: - came, l
saw, God conquered" 1t is related of the
Russian Gen. Suwarrow when vet a major
desired to attack the enemy, but that this
was forbidden under pain of death by the
commander-in- chief, Judging that the at
tack should not be delayed, Suwarrow
dared to disobey orders, encountered the
enemy, defeated them and then sent this
message to the commander-in-chief: "As a
soldier l deserve death for disobeying my
orders; as a Russian, / have done my duty;
the enemy is no more" This was for
warded by the commander-in-chi hief to the
empress, who in reply sent this dispatch
to SuwarroW: "As a soldier, / leave you to
the mercy of the commander-in-chief; as a
Russian 1 congratulate you as my ieuten-
ant colonel Later on in his caree-, when
he had captured Prague, he wrote ,l1us to
the empress: "Hurrah. Prague, Suwar-
row. And Catharine, equally terse again
promoted him, thus: Bravo, Field mar
shall! Suwarrow!"
Turenne announced the victory Of Du-
men, by which Dunkirk was retaken from
the Spaniards in these words: THE enemy
came. was beaten, | am tired, good night"
Perhaps the shortest message ever sent by
a commander was the one word Sir Charles
Napier chose wherewith to announ5e his
victory at l1yderabad, in the province of
Scinde. 1t was "Peccavi'' Il have sinned).

also and Liverpool. l. should pay big civil
dends, for with the Chilean South Ameri-
can Steamship Company, with which It
confines it has the monopoly of the
freight and passenger travel and charges
the highest rates. The railroad between
valparaiso and Santiago, a little over 100
miles, was built by an American, Henry
Melegs, who CONSTRUCTED also many Other
roads in Peru. MeIges came first to Chile
from California. His partner there had
ruined him financially, and he ran away to
avoid arrest, owing some 10000. He ar
rived in Peru almost pennless but got the
contract for this road by offering to build 1t
Tor about half the amount asked by some
English engineers. He made money out of
1t, and from that time he became one If the
greatest contractors south of the isthmus
He built other roads and made fortunes out
OF them. He then Went to Chile and there
contracted for works which cost tens Of
millions of dollars. He built the famous
O1oya road up the Andes, back of Lima
which is the steepest, and 1 doubt not the
costllest, road ever built, and when he died

MODERN PIRACY.
A German Vessel Captured by Mara
caibO Sea Robbers.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Most people would laugh or look wise
when one suggested piracy in these latter
days of the nineteenth century, but this
fact is attested by Consul Plumacher, at
Maracaibo. He states that on June 10 the
German bark Hedwig left the port of Mara
caibo for Mexico. Later in the same day
she encountered heavy squalls, and, as she
was in ballast, drfted toward the Goajfra
coast and came on the shoals of the old en-
trance to Maracaibo, the Parjana, about
twelve miles from Fort San Carlos. The
next day she was surrounded by Indians,
under charge of Rudecindo Gonzales
half-breed, known as "Cachimbo."
The captain of the Hedwig was not allow
ed to go to the fort for assistance, but was
driven, together with his crew, out of the
vessel by force. They walked to the town
of Sinamaica, few miles from ParJana,
ard hired a boat to convey them 10 Mara
caibo, where they made their declaration
before the German consul.
The consul states that this is, to his per-
sonal knowledge, the fourth case of piracy
committed on large foreign sailing vessels
close to Fort San Carlos. None of the ves-
sells had a gun or rifle on board. Had the
master of the Hedw1g been provided with
signal gun or firearms, he could have easily
kept his vessel until relief was sent from
Fort San Carlos, the authorities In charge
of which had not the slightest knowledge
Of what was occurring close to them,
The consul believes that it would be pru-
dent for sailing vessels bound for this port
to be provided with breech-loading rifles
and ammunition, as well as with o signal
gun. From the deck Of a vessel, protected
BY the woodwork of the railing, q crew
should be able to Withstand assaults until
assistance could be rendered.
1t should be noted that sailing vessels
carrying arms should manifest the same
and have than duly sworn before the Ven
ezuelan consul; otherwise they will be con-
sidered contrabapd by the custom house au-
tborities apd c9nflscated. The vessel will

America and Chile.
The feeling here against the Yankees. as
they call US, is largely due to the ignorance
of the Chileans as to our people, and to the
remembrance that Chile had to apologize
for the outrageous treatment of our sailors
in the Baltimore affair. The Chileans are
intensely patriotic They have q right to
be proud of their long, little country, and
they think much of 1t that, as 1 have
said, the masses of them fear that we want
to conquer 1t for ourselves. They cannot
imagine a war that is not waged for con-
quest or revenge, and they laugh at the
idea that the United States has been ,.ght-
ing Spain, not from a desire for Cuba, but
for the sake of humanity. Jn the other
hand those Chileans who have been to the
United States are our strongest friends.
Men like Carlos Rogers, Il wealthy business
man of Santiago, who was present at the
opening of the Philadelphia Museum; Sal
ustio Beeche of Valparaiso; Jorge Asta-
Buruaga, ex-secretaEy of the Chilean le-
cation at Washington, and every other
Chilean diplomat who has been sta
toned in the United States friends
and supporters, What the Two peoples need
is only closer acquaintance to become
business associates and fast friends. Chile
might, by a little courting. give US the ad-
vantage in a commercial and manufacture
ing line in many ways, and that to our
profit.
What Americans Have Done in Chile.
Chile, in fact, owes a great deal to the
Yankees. The first Of her railroads was
planned and constructed by Yankee. and
this was the first railroad built in South
America. Her first great steamship line
was founded by a Yankee, named Wheel
right who brought mis- scheme to New
York, but could find no one to support it.

Buenos Ayres alone there are over Sl,0.0,
Buenos Ayres is the biggest Spanish-speak-
Ing city OF the world y large part OF its
popuIa ton is made up of Spaniards OF the
lower classes. people who know nothing Of
the United States, and who just now are
violently infla med against US. The capital
of the Argentine is hence the hotbed of
the anti-American spirit of South America.
The Spanish there gave more than q mil
lion dollars to their cause, and until now
they have supposed that the war would
be all one way. The lower classes of the
Spanish down here are like the lower class
IS in Spain. They believe that the Span
iardS are the strongest and bravest people
of the world. and until now had no idea
that the Yankees, as they call US, could
conquer them. As a specimen of the way
they talked and felt at the beginning of
the war l cite the following, which L heard
today. When war was declared a rather
prominent Spaniard here said to an Amer
lean:
You Yankees are fools to make war
against US. Why. every one knows hat Cne

American. Well. you are one Spaniard
