A New York Herald special dispatch from Val- Paraiso, dated yesterday, says: Another day has ‘and still there has been no decisive battle about Valparaiso. The active operations, so far as fighting is con- cerned, have been confined to sharp but un- important skirmishes between scouting parties of the insurrectionists and Balmaceda's cavalry. While neither army has as yet seen fit to make an attack the tension is too great to last many hours. Gen. Canto, commanding the congressional army, with Cols. Holley and Kornner as his chiefs of staff, has devoted much time in strengthening his position on the hills above the race track at Vina del Mar. HARRYING TEE COUNTRY. ‘The country between that and Quillota is practically in his power, and such cavalry as he has is kept constantly on the move through that territory, bringing in supplies for th army, drumming up recruits wherever possib! and harrying the possessions of the more pom inent of the governme: supporters which hap- pened to be in the radius ir activity. The railroad between Santiago and Valpa- raiso has been destroyed by the “opposition,” and one of Canto’s regiments is strongly in- trenched on the road to Santiago,completely controlling it. FEARS FOR THE CAPITAL. The fact that the telegraph lines have been eutand other movements which have been made by the insurgents have, it is thought, led President Balmaceda to the conclusion that perhaps the capital has been left with insufii- cient protection and that Gen. Canto might be tempted to make a dash for Santiago itself rather than risk an attack on the strong de- feuses at Valparaiso. Hence a division of 2.300 soldiers were placed on bonrd the .transport Imperiale and sent to Talcabuano, on Concepcion bay, a couple of hundred miles south of here, where they could be quickly hurried by rail to Santiago and re- inforce the weakened garrison there toa degree which would make it impossible for a sudden raid to be successful, should Gen. Canto at- tempt it. ELUDED THE REBEL ORUISERS. The Imperiale succeeded in eluding the vigi- lance of the insurgent war ships and made a quick passage to Talcahuano, where the troops were landed; and that are now probably in San- tiago to assist President-elect Vicuna in case of sident Balmaceda still has command of the forces about Valparaiso in person. He has as his chiefs of staff Gene. Alzerreca and Bar- bosa, both able and experienced soldiers. ‘They have made an almost impregnable line of defense about this city, reaching from Vina del Mar to Placilla. Batteries of heavy guns have been placed in advantageous positions all along the lines, and they are supported by vet- eran soldiers. VICUNA’S HACIENDA BURNED. Word was received here today that a raiding party from the opposition army set fire to the hacienda of President-elect Vicuna, situated about thirty miles from Valparaiso, yesterday. All the buildings were destroyed and the stores and supplies were taken away. It is impossi- ble to learn what other property has been de- stroyed by the raiders. The rebel cruisers Esmeralda and O'Higgins have been steaming about off the entrance to the bay all day today, but they have shown no disposition to come inside and risk an attack from the torpedo boats Condell and Lynch or | farth the fire of the big ins in the forte. In fact ithas come to De the general idea now that Val will not be bombarded. Leading {nsurgente havo too great a property interest ere. PRISONERS CARED FOR. Quite a number of prisoners have been cap- tured by the government troops in the field since the appearance of the invaders at Vina del Mar, and the bonded warehontea in the city have been cleared out and are used as places of confinement for these prisoners. Temporary hospitals have been established for the care of the wounded, who are brought in every little while from the numerous skirmishes of the last fow days. Such of the insurgents as left the regular army atthe start of the rebellion are armed with the small-bore Mannlicher rifles, and the ammunition is prepared with smokeless powdr. This is the first time this style of arm has been used in actual warfare, and the surgeons of the foreign war vessels in port have been deeply in- terested in its effect. EFFECT OF THE MANNLICHER RIFLES. Many of them have volunteered their services in helping to care for the wounded. They have no difficulty in determining the wounds made by the Mannlicher rifles on account of the smallness of the bullets, the guns being -315 ealiber. In every caso they have found that the pro- jectiles from the rifles make a clean wound and that they have great penetration. It is said that in many cases men in the rear ranks have been wounded and killed by the same bullet which had gone through the men in front of em. ‘The uncertainty as to what the next step will be is causing a painfal intensity of feeling here. It was generally believed that Balmaceda would make a forward movement today, and it is now believed that some active fighting will be done before the sun sets tomorrow night. ONLY THE COMMANDERS KNOW. Only the president and Gens. Alzerreca and Barbosa on tho one hand, or Gen. Canto and his chiefs of staff on the other, have any actual knowledge of what the next step will be, how- ever. ‘There is @ rumor current today that the troops from Coquimbo and Santiago are marching toward Valparaiso with the idea of completely surrounding Gen. Cante and com- pelling hix surrender. It is only a rumor, how- ever, and so far as I can learn has no official source. ‘The Girl at a Boys’ College. ‘Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer in the Foram.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. Narvrar Burvor, Va., August 27, 1891. ‘Ye stalwart yeoman and ye merrie ladies of the bow were favored with splendid weather yesterday after their long aud patient wait. The ground where the contest was held pre- sented an interesting sight, being lined with vehicles and spectators, all interested in the bow and arrow strife which was going on. The thud, thud, thud of the arrowsas they struck the target, the twang of the bow string and the exclamations of delight or disgust asa good or poor shot was made, with an occasional ripple of laughter, were about all the sounds that were heard, all being intensely interested in the sport. The grounds are laid out on the side of Mars Hill and present rather a pe- culiar aspect, asall of the targets stand slantingly and so do ‘the archers, and a great many thought they would be unable to touch the tar- get, but after theirs six arrows they decided t was the best piace they had ever bad. The view is perfectly magnificent, mountain peaks on every side, with the ever changing lightsand shadows. Such a view seemed to inspire the arcbers to renewed efforts, and the scoring showed a marked iucrease as the day advanced. THE COLUMBIA AND AMERICAN ROUXDS. The morning was devoted to the Columbia round for the ladies and the American round for the gentlemen. The Columbia consists of 24 arrows at 50 yards, 24 arrows at 40 yards and 24 arrows at 30 yards. ‘The American round is 30 arrows at 60 yards, 30 arrows at 50 yards and 30 arrows at 40 yards. They usually spend two hours on these rounds, then in the afternoon they shoot the same over again and take the total scores for the record. The second fore- noon will be devoted to team shooting. This is a sort of partnership affair, for it takes four to make a team and their combined scores are taken as the total. The four must all be from one club, and as many of the clubs can't send that many there are only a few to compete for the team prizes. Washington hae a team of gentlemen and there will be several teams of entlemen and two or three of ladies from the Cincinnati clubs. THE TEAM SHOOT consists of ninety-six arrows at sixty yards for the Indies and ninety-six arrowsat fifty yards for the gentlemen. The field presents a beau- tiful sight with the long line of archers in their bright outing flannel« waiting for the bugle l, when every bow is raised and every ar- Tow flies in the same instant. Then when every arrow has been shot the bugle blows and all march to the targets for their arrowa, and some have to march a few fect farther, for their ar- Tows somehow seem to forget to ‘stop at the target, but go on past to an indefinite dis tance. The second afternoon is devoted to the national round for ladies and York round for gentlemen, and the third day is devoted to special matches and FLIGHT SHOOTING. The latter is the most interesting of all the competition, for the one who succeeds in send- ing the arrow the farthest distance wins the m Same think that the strongest arm should send the farthest arrow, but that has been proved a mistake, for it depends on eo many things. It depends on the kind of arrow, weight of bow and the angle in which it is aimed. If aimed straight or nearly straight it will natur p Within a few yards of the iy shooter, and if aimed too low it will strike ground in ashort distance. The usual aim forty-five degrees and the ladies gentlemen's bows and use a light reed arrow without feathers. THE LOUT OF FLIGHT. Taking it for granted that no archer gives any credence to those preposterous tales which every one has read of the phenomenal archers of ancient days who could shoot ull the way to the same number of miles, it is still a question with many as to how fara first-class bow will send a good flight arrow. The English archers have made many experi- ments within the last forty years, and Mr. H. A. Ford, who was a leading spirit in these cx- periments, came to the conclusion that 300 yards is about the limit of the flight of an arrow, and cites but one instance in which 300 yards was passed by the arrow of any shooter and that was shot from a Turkish horn bow in the hands of Peter Muir. Mr. Ford himself, who was a very powerful man, only in covering 289 yards. ‘This was with an Italian seef yew bow of sixty-three pounds weight. There are very few men who can pull a bow weighing over sixty pounds. If « man was able to pull an eighty or even ninety-pound bow his flight arrow would fly many yards er. POINTS IN SCORING. There are so many points to be observed in the scoring that it is not an easy matter to make a big score. The principal points are: 1. The distance shot—iu yards. 2.
