GUNBoAT's TERRIFIC FIRE.

Steaming slowly, the gunboat poured a
terrific fire from ber Calling guns into the
brush. For all of an hour the whirring of
the rapid-fre guns alternated with the
booming of the heavier pieces on board.
In the meantime, Scott's battery,
ashore, was shelling the trenches and
driving the enemy back. The artillery
then advanced to the ridge of bamboo and
drove few of the enemy's sharpshooters
away with volleys from their carbines.
The artillery then advanced and met
with little opposition. In the meantime,
the infantry had been sent forward in ex.
tended order, the Washington regiment
resting on the bank of the river, each reg
iment deploying on reaching its station
and furnishing its own supports.
The entire column then wheeled to-
ward the river, driving the enemy TO-
ward his supports, and then advanced on
Guadaloupe. The artillery moved to a
ridge commanding Pasig and Parteros.
BY this time the enemy was in full flight
along line over mile long, and the
firing was discontinued temporarily, in
order to give the troops rest before max
ing an attack on Pasig.
The enemy's loss was believed to be
severe; but only eight Americans were
wounded.
At this stage of the engagement it was
raining heavily.

which all but 1900 is carried on the drivers.
The engines of the other Chilian lot have

For another South American line the Rogers
Works turned out some engines Of three foot

cylinders measuring Is by 1S These engines
weigh $500 pounds each, and as may be
inferred from their smokestacks are wood

Two locomotives for Peru are now being built
at Paterson, and will probably be ready for
shipment next month. In general design they
resemble the second lot of engines for the Lu
Han road OF China, to which reference has been
made already
Another manufacturing concern that is shar-
ing in this department OF trade is the Brooks
Locomotive Works. Of Dunkrk, n. Y. A mogul
which this establishment has turned out for
the Mexican Central Railroad was constructed
from designs furnished by Superintendent John
stone of that road. 1t is intended for service
in the mountains. The cylinders have
diameter Of 20 inches, and allow a stroke OF 26.
AS any expert will see, they render the engine
exceptionally powerful. The outside diameter
Of the driving wheels is % inches. The engine
has an unusually short wheel base, and Is thus
well fitted TO take sharp curves. The boiler Is
OF the Belpaire type and has a diameter of 20
inches at the smaller end. 1t is to work under
a pressure Of 1SO pounds TO the inch.
Among the foreign orders filed by the Brooks
Locomotive Works was one for a road in Fin
lano whose gauge is only three quarters of a
metre, or 2012 inches. The seaport terminus of
the lire is Helsingfors. Two engines Of the
Mogul type and three consultations were fur
nished. The Moguls have cylinders measuring
1219 by Is inches. and are equipped with Brooks
improved piston valves. The boiler has a
diameter Of 40 inches at the smaller end The
drivers are 81 inches across and carry 80 6S3
pounds out of a total weight OF 47.4OO

The other Schenectady engine is in the freight
service of the Midland road of England. II is

weeks ago. These moguls are adapted to a

The Baldwin Locomotive Works have sent out
four lots to foreign countries recently. Among
them were some moguls for the Midland road
Of England These are not illustrated here, but
Il may be said of them that they have cylinders
and drivers OF the same dimensions as those
from Schenectady but weigh a trihe less.
The total weight OF each engine is 100 $50
