APAN'S wntiiler/.ful anval victory A on Yt Ut river Sept. 17 doubled end quadrupled tho already keen popular interest in naval exploits. Tho exciting deeds of tho civil war, adding fresh laurels for American tars, the creation oftho wliltesqumlron and tho com-

for superiority In equipment, together with tho unknown destructive power of modern Inventions and appliances, combine to sharpen the appetite r contests

snouting nut orders to back the vessel on I from her adversaries, there being three , around her, was cut down by a Paraguay- | an saber. Hut hl» dying order was heard I above tho din. and tho vcssol slipped away i from tho embrace of her enemies, w l.o | dared not rake lur with grape for tear of killing tlirir friends swarmiijg on r main decks. At tills time a hero coma to Urn fronton tiio Tiraz'.lian licet. The llra/.iiian admiral had run through the enemy’s lino in a panic, but seeing two of his ships h ft ! behind was afraid to proceed down tho ! river without attempting to recover them. | Ho ordered his vessels aliout, but becamo speechless with fear when It came to giving orders to light. The chief pilot of the j lh et was an Italian, with the blood of old | Mediterranean soudogg In his veins. Being ! on the llugstiip, the Amazonas, where the ! confusion of orders was notorious,he usurp- J eii command ami ordered the Amazonas to ‘■go at” the Paraguayans full drive. Being a heavy vessel, she made a capital ram and quickly rode down the Paruguayrl, at tho same time clearing her decks with grape. Next the Marquis de (Hindu and the Jejul, which, with the Tacunri, had held tho Paranahybaat their mercy, were cut down by ramming or shuts from the six heavy guns

petllion among yf the Amazonas. In brief, this mammoth great naval powers ship, too high out of water for boarding

from the low Paraguayan steamers, drove through the Paraguayans like a tornado. Four battleships and two steam launches carrying a gun ouch were destroyed, four launches captured and tho Paraguayan Jgurey sent oft up the river with a hole through her boiler and the Tacunri covering her retreat. The Knglish engineer,

one that can command the best lighting whose advice had been despised, saved the men)’ A very modern authority, trained four steamers which got hack to tho Pnra-

upon tiio •‘man behind the gun.’ Tills battle on tho Yalu has been called by Kuropesns the greatest of the century. Some of its incidents, li is widely clatiflod, have not been paralleled in modern times, except in the Paraguay river In the war between Brazil and Paraguay. If so, there are more points than one of similarity between tiio Yellow war and that in South America in tho sixties. Brazil invaded Uruguay lu 1MI4 tochee the Paraguay and its outlet, the Kio de la Plata, to tho Interior countries, and the plucky little republic of Paraguay declared war. It was like the elmlienge of David to Goliath. Brazil, vast in territory, was also rieli in material, men and ships. Little Parng%iy had nothing except some money, a few patriots and a cause. Ships, guns and ammunition, ordered from Europe while tho conflict was impending, did not arrive until Brazil liml a fleet in tho river and Paraguay under blockade. In hu|>cs of raising the blockade by destroying tho Brazilian ships and possibly capturing them for his own use, President Lopez, ruler of Paraguay, instituted two separate attacks which, because of their boldness and the desperation of the lighting, have become notorious In naval annuls. Tho stories have not been told in this country, and readers who have followed the course of the war in Japan may compare the naval events of these wars witli tlio.-io of the

civil war.

Tho first great battle on tho Paraguay took place on the Hiachueio, an Iniot i.. ar the southern border of Paraguay, In June, 18(!5. Early in April a Brazilian licet of nine seagoing steamers had ascend d. he Paraguay and anchored below the mouth of the Parana. Lopez decided to cap: lire the vessels by boarding attacks and :a tiered a force of 800 men, which einbarkt I on river steamers, rigged out and manned as gunboats. An English engineer on board tho flagship advised Lopez to run his vessels down at night closo to the Bra zilians and at daylight send each of them, nine in number, to lie alongside an enemy's ship and board it. Lopez's followers were the bravest men known to modern war ant 1 would light to the death every time, hut Lopez ordered his fleet commandant to run past tho Brazilians, then turn and attack. After numerous delays tho nine ships steamed past the Brazilian anchorage ground, effecting a complete surprise. Tiio Brazilians hud no steam up and could easily have been run down and overpowered. Tho gunners of tho anchored ships, however, opened lire upon tiio dauntless enemy sailing past, exploding a shot in the lioilers of tho Iguroy which killed go men, und also one in tin* Jejul, which left her helpless. In passing the Paraguayans returned tiio (Ire as best tiiey could with tlieir small cannon. The fleet of Lopez carried iil guns, while the Bra-

zilians mounted 69.

Tho experienced fighting men who witnessed their maneuvers concluded that Lopez would lose his own ships in place of capturing u now fleet. One such spectator was General Bruges, a Paraguayan commanding some laud batteries opposite the Brazilian fleet. Allhough astounded nt

For more than three years the war continued, calling for the most terrible saerilices on the part of the Paraguayans. Lopez ruled v tli a red of Iren. The outer world ha tec and cursed him for a pirate and usurper. His soldlegs had no arms but old flintlocks, except as they captured them, and o .nnon and ammunition wore made in tb'' country or taken from the Brazilians in battle. The heroism of Lopez's followers under those conditions can scarcely I hi paralleled. They were Indians of the line of the Incas, with thrilling traditions behind them and warrior blood l>encath tlieir dark skins. They fought against enormous odds and never succumbed until pinned to the earth with bayonets. Before the war ended the country had been depopulated of men and boys, and the women urged on tins self inmolation by giving up tln ir jewels to swell tho exchequer and liy shouldering muskets In

battle.

In March, 1M>S, Lopez selected 1,900 of these men, tho pick of nil his valiant armies, to make a boarding attack upon a

The ironclads were cigiit in number, and the boarders, armed with carbines, revolvers, hatchets and hand grenades, embarked in 48 canoes, divided into eight sections, one for each Ironclad. The flotilla got ready In a thicket of reeds on the river bank, and the canoes were overhung with leafy branches to resemble the flouting island occasionally seen in tiio Paraguay river. Setting out just before daylight the 2d of March, the canoes drifted under stealthy paddles and nearly reached the fleet when the island collided with a Brazilian guardboat. The astounded guard backed off r.nd pulled for the nearest ironclad, the double turret Lima Barrios, followed In mad haste by the canoemcn, who broke tln ir sections, 14 going ut tho Lima Bar rios, 12 at the Cabral and tho others scattering to attack tho ones lying at a distance.

This price is 82.9 cents less than the average for the ten years, 1880 to 1889, and is 22.1 cents less than tho average for tho four years 1890 to 1898. The returns make tho general price per bushel of ryo 50.5 cents, which is 1.3 cents lower than the price at the same date in 1893. Tho average farm price of oats as returned for Dec. 1 is 4.1 cents higher than for the corresponding date the year previous, being 82.9 cents per bu- liel against 28.8 cents Doc. 1, 1893.

Two ironclads next in line, the Salado , and llervai, received some warning and ; deluged tiieir assailants witli grape before they could leap from liieircamx». Farlher off the Brazil, a ten gunner, got up steam and made for tho cluster of vessels where the battle was raging so fiercely. Coming abreast of tiie Cabral, slie swept her decks with grape, then lay alongside the Lima , Buxxlws. The Paraguayan? t;p°r , stood a couple of volleys of canister from I tiie guns of the Brazil, then jumped for Their boats. The horrible slaughter of tho grape was more than outdone when tho loaded cano. s were caught between the sides of tiie grinding hulls. A few of tiio Paraguayans reached t he water and were given the choice of surrender or death by •booting. Tiiey chose the latter, and tiie Brazilians got but 13 prisoners out of 3(1 canoe loads, or 900 hoarders, involved in the disaster. Oil the decks of the Lima Barrios and Cabral lay 140 bodies of tiie Paraguayans. The wounded victims who died after jumping into the water and those killed by Brazilian marksmen when swimming away swelled tiio loss to 400 killed. Romantic in purpose to the highest degree, the capture of a fleet with which to maintain freedom, and marked at every stage by the loftiest heroism, the attack on Uie iruui iudn off Taya has no parallel in modern naval annals.
