The Kusley struck the Gambier amidships, crush ing in ber side aud sinking her in seven min- utes, A scenc of terrible confusion and ex- citement followod tho collision. Most of the passengers, who were in the berths uslcep when the accident oceurred, rushed for the boats without wait- ing to dross, There was no time to cast the boats loose, und when tho steamer sank she carried with hor five saloon and fifteen steer- age passengors and six of tho crew.

WasiisGroy, D. C., Aug. 25.—The census office today issued a bulletin on irrigation in the state of Wyoming. It is shown that in that state there ure 1,017 farms that ave irri- gated out of a total nnmber of 4,247, The total acres of lond to these 1,017 farms is 1,508,850 acres, upon 220,6i¢ acres of which crops were raised by isrigation in the year of 180, In addition to the irrigation area, from which crops were cut or gathered, there there were approximately 240,000 acres 1rri- gated for grazing purposes. The average size of the irrigated moro strictly, of the irrigated portion of farms ou which crops were raised, is 119 acres, I'be average of first cost of wat #.62 por acre, and the averaze cost of pre- paring the soil for cultivation, including the purchase price of the land, is $0.45 per acre, The average present value of the irrigated land of the state, including puildings, etc., is reported as £31.20 per acre, showing an aj rent profit, less cost of buildings, of $14.5 cre. The average aunual cost of water is 44 cents ver acre, which, deducted from th e annual value of products per ac leaves an average annual return of §i.81 per acre, The tendency throughout the entire arid region, says the bulletin, to deseribe as ir- rigated all land to which water has been ap- plied within any recent period by artiticial means, land to which ditchies perhaps so far destitute of water, have been constructed, and even land for which water rights are merely claimed, has placed the cevsus offico under tke nece. of absorutely restricting itself in its official bulletins on irrigaiion to laad on which crops were actually raised by the artificial application of water during the ¥ 1880, The favns or stock ranches Wyoming irrigated merely for grezing pur poses have therefore not been taken into ac- count in this builetin boyoud the foregoing statement as to their approximate total area. -— HELPING THE VETER NS, Services of the Chict’ iner Secured by The Bee.

Auother day has passed and still there has been no decistve battle about Valparaiso, The active operations, so far as fighting is concerned, have been confined to sharp but unimportant skirmishes between scouting parties of the insurrectionists and Balmace- da’s cavalry. While neither army has as yet seen fit to make an attack, tho tension is too great to last many hours, Goueral Cauto, commanding the congres- sional army, with Colonels Holly and Kor- ner as his chiefs-of-staff, has devoted much timo to strengthening his position on the hills above the race track at Vina del Ma The country between that and Quillota is practicaliy in his power and such cavalry as he has s kepticonstantly on the move through that territory briuging in supplies for the army, drumming up recruits whenover pos- sible, and carrying off the possessions of the more prominent government supporters which happen to be in- the radius of their ac- tivity, ‘r'he railroad between Santiago and Valparaiso has been destroyed by the oppo- sition and one of Cauto's regimeuts is strongly tntranched on the road to Santiago, completely controlling it. Balmaceda, owing to the cutting of the telegraph lines by the congressionalists, feared thoy might might make a dash for Suntiago itself rathee than risk an attack on the strong defenses at Valparaiso, hence 2,300 soldiers were placed on board the trans- port Imperiale and sent to Talcahuano on Conception bay, a couple of hundred miles outh of here, and wore quickly taken to antiago, They are doubtiess now in Sun- tiago.

Word was received here today that a raid- ing party from the opposition army army set fire to the hacienda of President-elect Vicun, situated about thirty miles from Val- puraiso, yesterday. All the buildings were destroyed and the stores and supplies taken away. The rebel cruisers Esmeralda and O'Hig- gins have been steaming about of 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 the fire of the big guns in the forts, Quite a number of prisoners have been captured by the government troops in the flela since the appearauce of the iuvaders at Vina del Mar, and the bonded warehouses in va been cleared out and are used gr confiuoment for theso prizoners.

The uccertainty as to what the next stap will be is causing a painful intensity of foel- ing here. It was gonerally belioved that Balmoceda would mako a forward move- ment today and it is now believed that some- active fighting will be done beforo the sun sots tomorrow night. There is a rumor cur- rent today that the troops from Coquimbo and Santingo are marching toward Val- paraiso with the 1dea of complotely surround- ing General Canto and compelling his sur- render. It is only a ramor, however, and so far asTcan learn has no oficial source. Rumored Surrender of Valparaiso. WasniNgron, D. C., Aug. 28.—At a late hour in the afternoon a new aspect was given to the Chilian situation when Mr. Julio M. Foster, who is assisting the congressional envoys in this city, received the following dispateh today at New Yor Balmacedu is defeated, Valparaiso in our power, V.ve Chili, TRUMBU LL. ‘T'he sender is Richard Trumbull, one of the congressional agents, who is now under indictment for violation of the necutrality laws in connection with the equipment of the Itata. The dispatch gave great comfort to the congressional partisans here and Mr, Foster did not atterupt to conceal his satis- faction. ‘The absence -of official information at the department has puzzled the officials. Cer- tainly, if a decisive engagement has taken place, it was to be expected that Minister Kgan or Admiral Brown would promptly re- port the fact if communication were open. Admiral Brown is at Valparaiso and Minister Egan at Santiago, torough which place cables from Valparaiso must pass to reach Europe and the United States or run the risk of falling into the hands of the insurgonts on the Pacific coast. The only theory advanced which is plausible enough to find acceptance is that the telegraph lines, being uuder military control, would not transmit cipher dispatohes such us would be sent by our government repre- sentatives, It is not presumed, however, that 1f Balmacedw's forces haa 'achioved a signal victory they would attemot to prevent confirmation of the news of the event from eaching this country, so that the official judgment here 1s that no decisive combat has taken place, An hour after the dispatch from Mr, Trumbull came to- him the following dis- patch from Mr. Viel, the confidential ageny of the insurgent party at Lima, Peru, dated today, to Mr. Pedro Montte, the principal congressional envoy in this city, was re- ceived at the headquarters of the party here wTriumph compiete.

The minister thinks the reason he has heard notbing today from S in regard to the reported fignt cause of the seizure and censorship, probably, of the cable and telegraph lines by the insurgents, and he can account for it in no other way, believing ne would if possible bave been informed immediately of the result of the encountor batween the opposition forces. While the minister declined to say whether ho placed eredence in the reports of Balma- coda’s fail, it was apparent by his demeunor that he was not very hopeful of receiving good news and seemed not over sanguine that the government had not been defeated. “All is possible in war,” he said, “and I can't uo- derstand how the situation could have so sud- denly changed since my dispatch of yester- day aunouncing a victory, though it may be 0.0 Further than this the minister declined to speak.

J., Aug. 28.—A cyclone swept over the lower portion of this city at 2:15 o’clock this afternoon, coming with frightful velocity and without warning, The roof of a threestory building on the corner of Bowery aud Lexington strects was torn from its fastenings and whirled skyward nearly two hundred foet doing considerable damage by its fail, At Chestnut street the storm crossed the Pennsylvania tracks and first struck the Tomlinson company’s spring works, smash- ing thetwo inch thick glass skylight and picking up a heavy gate in the yard and seuding 1t burling through the air.

It struck the long building near McWhorton street. First tho wooden steps. went_flywmg, being torn to splinters.

The secona floor was ripped up, wrenchod away and thrown upon the wreck of the roof. The dismantling of this building was complete. Only a few joists protruding from the walls were left. The eyclone thon wended its way to Passaic avenue, Bowevery street and Gross street below Jackson street, causing skylights and shutters to flutter through the air. At first the wind was not heavier than that which usually accompanies u thunder storm, but a few secouds iater the volume was more terrific and swept over that scetion of the city with force enough to tear off tin roofs like sheets of paper. Bowery and Gross streets are strewn with debris. Parts of the roofs of buildings have become entangled in the telegraph wires and a number of sky- lights dangled dangerously from tuem. The tin roof of Cahon's tannery, on Capol street, was lifted up in the air and landed 100 yards from the factory. A partof this building was also blown down.
