VALPARAISO, Dec. 2fi.---A wireless message from the Chilean torpedo boat Tome reports the British cruiser New castle cannonading lfi miles from Valparaiso. It Is supposed tbat she lias engaged tho German cruiser Dresden and converted cruiser Prince .Kltel Frledorleh. ' A British squadron and Japanese warships are known to be cruising far from this port.
