'The Leemona 'had ten able bodied white
men and a number of Chinese passengers.
She was armed with two caimon.and a num
ber of breedh.loading.lities, revolvers, Sm.,.
and yet wai captured after a short chase,
by a Junk carrying but • two guns And a
crewof twenty Chinamen. The Europeans
-did not defend themselves by a single shot,
but surrendered in a most cowardly man,
Fier, - and were actnalty-set to work breik
ing tint the cargo for transfer to_the Junk.

- their fate: The whole history of this case,
says Commander Cushing, is one of dis
graceful cowardice, and hawas glad tofind
'there were no Americans in the crew. Com

to orders sailed for Yokahoma.--,

:. 1 1,brpos, September 11..-The following
particulars of events preceding the evacua
tion of Humaita by the ,Paraguayans are
believed to, be authentic: On the-16th of
July the Marquis De Callas,' commander
in-Chief of the allied4orces, 'received lin
.
formation that the - ,Paragnityans were leav
ing , ,
tub fortress: 'He immediately ordered
an advance,, and a colunin of 16,000 men
crossed the ditches, entered ;the enemy's
lines,. and took possession of a redoubt.
They were - making preparations to occupy
the rest of the works when the Paragnayan
troops opened a fire of-musketry and artil•
lery, which .badlerrible effect on-the allied
column in its crowded and disordered con
dition. The Paraguayans then advanced
on the ,Brazilians, jumping into the re
doubt and attacking them with the bayonet,
meenthre keeping up a sharp artillery.fire_
orrthe column', which had commenced to
fail back. The , ettacking party of the
allies were driven from the redoubt, and
the column rettred to its camp, having suf.
fired severely* Ankilled, wounded and
prisoners.:.- The `lowest- estimate of their
1. - as in thisatteek places it at six hundred
killed - and wounded. Some, divisions were
almost - cul'to pieces and large numbers df
I men were Missing. 4 _
- A few days later the allies assaulted a
Paragnayah fort in the Gran-Choo. The
attacking partY.was received with a heavy
fire of artillery, which created a panic
among them,- and they commenced re
treating in disorder. The Paraguayans
left their ' defdpces and p IrsuPd the re
treating tro ,ps with great vigor. The
letter again suffered a heavy loss, eve g
aily on their retreat, their killed and
wounded amouritinU to 550.
On the 25th ofJuly it was discovered that
Harnetta had at last been actually evacu
ated. All the heavy guns left in the place
were dismounted and spiked and SOlllO
munitions of war, which could not easily be
rnbved through the forest, left behind. The
garrison retired in rood order and without
interruption to the position on the Tebicua
ry7 The fortifications there, which Lopez
r• hasbeen building for nearly a year, are be
lieved to be impregnable, and the win
ninnications with the interior are secure.
The Paraguay river has been so obstructed
as to be inaccessible to the iron Clads of the
allies.

last' Night—lmmense Attendance—The
Contest Tc-kilir„lit.
The better portion of. yeAerday was oc
cupied by the various , delegates and home
members of the Smngerfest in the , transac
tion of business pertaining.to,their associa
.
tion. . A few more delegates arrived and
were received in appropriate manner.
The grand concert took place at the Key
stone Rink last night and was a most
'brilliant affair so far 'as iattendance was
concerned. Never in this neighborhciod
have we seen such a brilliant; fashionable
and at the same time home-like audience
assembled together 'than, was that which
crowded every available . seat of the Rink
last night. , There w'ete'Vresent represen
tatives from all climes of society.'but most
conspicuous were the familiar faces of those
we are wont t 6 see assembled at, our , fash
ionablemti-lcial reunions. From a bird's
eye view of the audience; we should est],
ma'e the number in attendance at . about
four thousand and more. Never before did
the Rink look more fascinatingly illumined
as it was with its band reds of
bright gas lights, and the power
ful Palmer calciumapparatus, rival
ing the ,rayti of the sun and lending a
brilliancy to the unique decorations of the ;
hall, and showing off the fashionably at
tired audience in the best style imaginable:
The programmes were printed .ini German.
and English and profusely, ; distributed
throughout the house. There was to enri-.
fusion, the ushers fully kneiting'their
nese and prompt and efficient ,in the, dis
charge of their 'duties.
Fully four hundred male singers app--
p eared on the stage together with a, full
orchestra.. A. magnificent Steinway •grand
,piano occiipledits plaqe,,and at.,times un- ,

,theafect of the orchestral accompaniment.
Theyconcert ripened„ with-. a subdued and

pie," a' patriotic hymn, by Mangolds, fai t.
of power and brilliancy, was equally well s
rendered by a full chorus and orchestra,.
and like the preceding execution was met
with an enthusiastic reception and encore.
"Hail Morning," .a sacred, composition,
which will ever , sustain Kreutzer s claims
to genius, was next rendered in very pretty
style, but there was not so much fire in it '
as to warrant the hearty tokens of appreci.r
Mien awarded the pieces which preceded.
Next was Gounod's Sanctus, a composition
of exquisite beauty when properly Inter-;
preted, but while many parts of the per
formance last evening were remarkably
fine, Ain others were poorly sustained.l
It was m thisthatwe discovered for the first `r
time how the leading soprano had failed as ; -
a . vocalist. It hat been but a few years eincef,
she was rightly - regarded first and fore- I'
most in the rankseVrair amatettraand semis
-Professionvd singers, but her rich,. gushing 4
liquid voice, as sweet as the sweetest sonv,

some time L on.the stage, and again, — thei
Rink, perhaps, - not the most suitablel'
. place to display the rare powers of voealizai
tion she certainly once possessed. Thee
audience , censiderably disappointedl
that the Misses. , MeCaffrey announced!,
were not the famous Philadelphia vocal
lets, as they were led to believe--however;
through rto fault' of the advertisement.
Up in the whole we, did not admire Sane
.:;
tux« Its few redeeming parts were the so-;
Toe of Mr. Bieber, which were rendered in
very fine style: Potpotirri, from Faust, - c
a wetly composition for, the display of the
ability of the orchestra, was brilliantly
givens under the leadership of Prof. G. t.
Teem& This.: performance was encored
.and drew forth the "Mocking Bird," an-*
other masterly, execution, which waerap-li
turously received - by the audience..
Next came the ;tem of the evening r a solo!.
"On the Meads," by Gumbert, by MieSi
Benne. This yetuig lady has recently taken!:
a high position amongst our amateur sing-i.
era, having been inducted into musical cir- , "?
des through-the choir of St. Paul's Cathe-i
-dral, of whit& - she is now the, sweetestr,
soprano stinger. :Her performance-was
neatly encored and on --her second apt!
pearance, ' she was received. with a.:
storm of applause. A trio from Atilla,l
- ! Salutarls i Verdi, was rendered.
with much , graceful beauty by Mrs. Down.
ing and Messrs. - 1M Kleber Foerster.4
Next c.mer larghetto from D. dur. Sym
phony, Beethoven, a classical quartette,
arranged for stringed ins ruments.
was e xquisitely - rendered by the Messrs-2
Teorge end Zittenbart, and called forth a.
hearty encore. "Light t mere light," by:
Abbe Liszt with chorus accompani
meat of horns , and trumpets was:
an exceedingly, clever performance auk
excited'universal admiration. Then came:
the glorious' old national hymn of the'.
"Star Spangled Benner," the rendition of
whiCh by four hundred master voices, left_
the andience Perfeclly delighted and en- ,

The concert was a success and will long
be remembered by all who- were in at-C
tendauce.' -
To night the great contest of the various
societ.eswill. take place in Turner ;
Only some seven or eight of the societies
will take part in the contest which
will bee a. • remarkable musical treat,(
if possible, to the concern ,
'of yesterday;livening. Selections fronat,
the greatest German composers, such ea
Mozart, Spolir,Beethoven,Kreutzer,Moeh4: - i.
ring. etc., will form the programme. There ,
will be no reserved seats excepting such a
are kept for gentlemen accompanied - by
ladies. Nye hear that the Pittsburgh soi --
cieties purpose 'giving a magnificent ban '
quet after the contest to the visiting sbcie.
Ilea and very few invited guests; altogether
five to six hundred persons will sit down
to the tables, which will be spread in the
hails on the first and second floors of thee-,
Turner building. - If it be true that this(
banquet is to take place, it will probably :< ;
be one of the grandest affairs Of the kind
which has ever taken place in the city.
Persons should. not imagine that all of::
the attractions of the fest culminated yes 4
'terday evening, for to-night's contest is -s
really quite as important, and will have ,
additional advantage of having all of the
intermissions filled up with tableaux by the- '
Turners, who ars so noted for their excel;
lence in this line, and we feel sure that the
Turners' Hall will be as thronged as the"
larger auditorium at the Rink was last
