VINEYARD HAVEN, Maas,, March 14th. The United States corvette Golesa and the United States tug Nina went ashore last night south of Gayhead lighthouse during strong southerly winds. There was a dense fog at the time. The Galena was belag towed to Ports- mouth Navy Yard for repairs. The officers and crews of both vessels were taken off by the Galina's boats and the life-saving crew. A steam tug, which visited the spot to-day, reported the sea making a clean breach over both vessels, The officers and crews saved nothing from the
wrecks. The Galena had three new boilers on deck which were to be put in her.
NEW YORK, March 14th. The bark Umberto Prince, from Rosario, went ashore last night os Romers shoals in a terrible gale. Revenue cutters did not succeed in rescuing the crew until late this afternoon.
LONDON, March rgth.....
The Times has a despatch from Santiago giving an official version of the recent battle in Chile. From this it appears that Colonel Robles, who commanded the Government troops on the 6th fast, being short of provisions, rashly aban- doned a strong position on Mount Sebastopol, * and with 1,200 infantry, twenty-fire cavalry and a few guns attacked a force of 2,500 rebels. At a critical moment the enemy, by à décoy of truce- for parley, opened fire at close quarters, killing or wounding two-thirds of the Government troops. Colonel Robles was wounded early in the battle and when captured, was murdered. A general massacro of wounded officers ensued, The loss of the insurgents is estimated at 300 killed and 400 wounded. President Balmaceda admits the gravity of the disaster, which places the Province of Tarapacă entirely in the hands of the insurgents.
The President says, however, that the Govern- ment has 30,oca troops at its disposal. The Government has also an ample supply of funds. The fature scene of operations will probably be nearer Valparaiso,
DUBLIN, March 15th.
An Anti-Parnellite meeting at Newry, to-day, was the scene of grent disorder, the Parnellites turning out fa strong force and doing their utmost to break up everything, Abest 5,000 persons were present at the meeting. The disorder began when a series of resolations danouncing Parsell in the strongest terms were put. The resolutions were received by the Parnell men with hoots and groans, and lively personal encounters between opponents and supporters of Parsell took place in every direction. In a parish church at Mitchelltown to-day, Father Sexton said the next election would probably result in the retirement of William O'Brien and every effort should be ma-ls to elect McCarthy for the district A Farnelle meeting at Middleton to-day was sparsely attended, and Harrington and. Clancy were unable to get a bearing when they attempted to speak. The police had to be called to suppress a free fight.
MONTREAL, March 15th.
This city and vicinity was visited during the last twenty-four hours by a terrific hurricane and blizzard, and great damage has been done by the wind. Pillow & Gersey's rolling-mitis are almost totally destroyed. The spire of St. Patrick's Church and the magnificent news depot of the Grand Trunk Railway are badly damaged, Many private buildings, barns and houses in course of construction have been demolished, Early this morning the streets were filled with flying signs, roof slates and branches of trees. The storm has done tremendous damage in the country districts, but as the wires are down in

But the most revolting thing in the whole business was that Parnell seemed to think that they were all tools; he could not remember the difference between Parnell the untainted leader and the Parnell of 1891.
Referring to Parnell's "pretended sympathy " for the workingmen, Healy said it would be remembered that during the dock strike, speaking to the late Mr. Biggar, who first pointed out to him the misfortune Parnell was trying to bring og Ireland, he (Healy) suggested that funds be given to aid the strikers. Biggar said that he had written twice to Parnell, urging him to make a donation toward the strike fund, but Parnell did not answer. Biggar then remarked: "I wonder what Parnell's politics really are ?" As remonstrating with him in regard to his conduct with Mrs, O'Shea,

Now let us realise the effect of this on an emotional, nervous temperament. Imagine the result of a long run such as is common in European capitals, when, night night, amid the fictitious stage atm sphere, intoxicated with the glare, the plaudits, the general excitement, nervous men or hysterical women strive their hardest to be somebody else.
