LATER OFFICIAL REPORT
OF GERMAN VICTORY

Valparaiso, Chile, Nov. 3.--An off,
cial report issued later In the day by
Admiral Frat Won Spec, said that the
German fleet engaged with the Brit
ish squadron consisted OF the cruis-
ers Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, Nueren-
berg. Leipzig and Bremen. The Brit
ishers were the cruisers Glasgow,
Good Hope and Monmouth and the
transport 0tranto.
THE action lasted nearly one
hour the report said, "and II was
only discontinued at nightfail. The
English we're forced to give way. The
Good Hope was so badly damaged
that she was unable to resist and
could only make her escape, protect
ed by the darkness. Between her fun
nels the result of the big explosion
could be detected.
THE Monmouth, under identical
conditions. tried to escape, but was
followed by a. small cruiser and sunk
with N few shots.
"Owing 10 the hurricane which was
blowing no boats could be lowered
and consequently there was a terri
BILE loss Of life.
1T is supposed that the Glasgow
and the Otranto. which were badly
damaged, were able to make their
escape owing to their speed and the
darkness
"The Germans suffered little or no
damage.
"Only two wounded men were re.
ported in the cheeseman's crew"
In naval circles here IL is said that
the action took place twenty miles
off ST. Maria Island, whence the
flashes of the guns could be seen but
no detonations heard.
The Germans opened fire at 5000
meters and the English when they
came within 5000 meters OF the en-
emy. They already had been badly
damaged. The Monmouth received
terrible broadside. according to the
naval officials and this, combined
with the hurricane soon resulted in
her sinking.
The Good Hope escaped on fire, but
shortly afterwards terrific explosion
was heard and her loss Is considered
certain. The Glasgow escaped 10 Tall
cahuano. badly damaged.
The Germans declare that the Eng
lish fought heroically, but that their
artillery was ineffective. II is be-
lieyed here that the Britishers were
attacked by the complete German fly
ing fleet.
Armed transports and the cruisers
Leipzig and Bremen are keeping
watch off Talcahuano to capture or
sink the Glasgow should she attempt
to escape. If the Glasgow does not
come out of the harbor 1t is said she
will be dismantled and interned.
The German fleet will leave here
tomorrow. Its destination is not
known.
It is reported q powerful Anglo.
Japanese. fleet is on its way to South
Pacific waters.
All British steamers In ports In this
vicinity are remaining at anchor tenn
porarlly as the result Of the naval bat
tie.

shells during the battle but the in /,

sequence.

d. c. Hernandez has been elected
to succeed Harvey b.. Ferguson In
congress. Returns received last night
place his plurality over the present
incumbent at not less than 2.000. and
there Is every probability that the A.
nal figures will show his lead to be
nearer 5000 than the figure men
TONED. a
The northern counties, where the
republican old guard has always
shown its greatest strength, came
through With unprecedented plurali-
ties for Hernandez. while the Pecos
valley, which was relied upon to off
set the republican vote in these coun-
ties. failed toipoll its usual democratic
vote. f s
Republican leaders have relied
from the beginning upon the demo-
cratic disaffection In the Pecos val
ley and II seems that they did not
miss their guess 10 any considerable
extent. Trouble over postoffices and
county salaries made the people In
that section sore. and while an elev-
enth-hour attempt was made TO
arouse them to the necessities of the
occasion. II was too late TO save Con-
gressman Ferguson from defeat.

Grant county, us a. matter or TACT,
proved to be the only democratic
county to. fulfill the expectations OF
the democratic leaders. From the be-
ginning of the campaign Senator w.
Il. Walton has been the leading fac
tor In the situation in his section. He
threw himself into the fight with all
his characteristic vigor. and reports
received late last night indicated that
he had carried the entire ticket in
his county, Ferguson leading with a
majority that may reach 1000, Hill
having a commanding lead over Will
liams and the democratic legislative
candidates being elected over their
republican opponents. Senator Wal
ton comes out Of the fray with more
glory than any other democrat In the
state.
There IL no doubt That the repub-
licans have elected safe majority
of their candidates for the legislature,
and 1t is not improbable that they
will have a two-thirds majority in
both houses at the next session. which
will enable them to put through any
salary bill or other meause that may
strike their fancy.
Hugh II. williams has apparently
been the beneficiary of the republl-
can landslide and has been elected to
succeed himself on the corporation
commission. Nothing like complete
returns on, the race for the. commis-
sion was obtainable last night hut
there seems to be no doubt Of Mr..
Williams election.
The complete failure Of the pro-
gressive candidates to poll anything
like respectable vote was one no.
table feature OF the race There IL
every probability that Col. w. =. Met

In ahead Of Francis G. Wilson in the
final figures for congressman.

sons for the retrenchment that has re-
suited in laying off several hundred

Mr.. Fulton returned this morning
from San Francisco, where, he said,
he tried to secure some information as
to when conditions at the Sparks
shops will be back at normal. He said
he vas unable to find put anything

"~Three-nfths of the transcontinental
freight is now going through the ca.

Flanagan warehouse, for instance, is
shipping nails from New York by way
of the canal at % cents a hundred
pounds All space in ships up to Jan,

roads suffer. The Southern Pacific can
stand it better than some other lines
but even the Southern Pacific must
retrench. We took over the Ogden
shops from the Union Pacific and
must keep them going. We sent en-
gines down from Portland to be over
