Tim U. s. B, llnltlmors la tlio llnrbor.
Valfakaiso, Chill, via Galveston, Aug.
21. The Insurgent army effected n land
iug early In tho morning in Qulntera
Bay, only twonty miles north of this city.
According to the lowest estimate It
numbers 8,1100 men. It would bo nearer
tho exact figures to say 10,000. i
They were brought down from Cildorn
on eight transports, tbroo tugs and four
war ships.
Tho point of landing Is about fifty
miles from Santiago, whoro Balmacoda'a
forces, to tho numbor of 10,000, havo boon
stationed.
The Balmaccdlsts have for somo tlmo
anticipated a inovemont south on the
part of their foes, but they believed thnt
Coqulmbo would ba tho first place at
tacked. It uow appears that tho hovering of
the insurgent fleet la tho neighborhood
of Coqulmbo Bay was only a schorae to
deceive Balmaceda.
Tho landing at Quintero Bay was
therefore a complete surprlao to tho
President, but as soon as ho learned tho
news ho acted promptly. By his command
n large force wab sunt north to meet tho
enemy.
Admiral Brown, from Mi flagship, tho
San Francisco, saw tho landing of tho in
surgents. They aro woll armed and en
thusiastic The United States war ship Baltimore
Is in this harbor.
Tim T?an.nwn11n .nmniaiitlDtl liv pHlvn
Falna, Is Just outside the harbor.
It is expected that sho will be Joined at
once by the other Insurgent war vessels
from Qututero Bay. It looks as if, In
conjunction with the advance of tho land
forces upon this city, the fleet will open
fire upon tho forts that defend this har
bor. It looks as If the most important en
gagement so far In tho history of tho
present war is about to bo fought.
Until the present time It has boon
ne. rly altogether a battle of words.
Now a fierce light is Imminent.

Brussels, Auj,. 21. Consideroble con
sternation was caused hero to-day among

rumor would uffect them as much as it
evldontly did. Foreigners who had been
running down America In their spoecbes
turned pale at the idea ot not being per
mitted to go b.ick to America, and
seemed suddenly to conceive au iutense
affection for that country.
British dologates seemed much nmusod
at tho situation, and ono of them re
marked that it might ba a good idea tor
England to follow suit.

which bni visited Martinique Is tho most

So far as can ba learned thero have ,

At all the above placos largo numbers
of persons were injured.
Tho damago dona to shipping and

GHASTLY HANGING SCENE.
Tho Victim' Head Wai I'rnctloully Torn
from Ills Body
LrvEnrooL, Aug. 21. A sickening and
altogether frightful occurrence marked
tha execution of John Conway, who was
hanged hero for tho murder of the boy
Nicholas Martin.
As Berry, the hangman, was drawing
tho black cap over Conway's head tho
latter shouted: "Hold on. I want to
sny something." Berry repliod: "You
can't speak now," and was about to pro
coed with tho execution when tho priest,
who was In attendance upon tho crlminnl
upon tbo scaffold, haBtily interposed,
pushed tho hangman oaa side, and held
Conway's baud while tbo condemned
man, iu broken tones, asked forgivencsj
for his sins.
Only when the unfortunate wretch had
done speaking and when the priest hnd
replied to his plea for forgiveness did tho
latter permit the hangman to proceed.
Tho incident caused intense excitement
among those present at tho hanging, but
it was as nothing compared to tho horri
ble scone which was to follow.
In duo course of tlmo tho drop fell
and Conway disappeared from view.
Almost Immediately afterwards tho
priest began to read the confession of
the hanging man.
In this cpnfesblon Conway said that ho
was intoxicated when he murdered the
boy, and that his reason for taking tho
boy's life was that he had a morbid
curiosity to observe the prooess ot
dying.
While the priest was rending Conway'a
confession a streaming sound was heard
from tho scafiolu, as If a quantity of
wntl.r WR4 falling.
A hurried investigation was
mad a by
the hangman and by the prison officials,
and to their horror they found that tho
sound was caused by blood which wax
pouring upou tho floor from Conway's
ueak.
The fall, It appoarfl, had been so severe
that the criminal's head hnd been prac
tically torn from his botly, in fact, the
head was only hold to tho body by tho
muscles of the nock.
Berry, of course, camo In for consider
able abuse, tho terrible bungling being
placed to his account alone.
People believo that this horrlblo hang
ing will lie freely used as an argument
in favor of tbo abolition of hanging ns
means of execution and tho substitution
of electricity for tha ropo.
