THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SATURDAY, .NOVEMBER 21. 1891.
UNO NOWJOR 1892,
Sessions of the Farmers Prac
tically Over, and the
People's Party
ISSUES ITS MANIFESTO,
Beijing Largely on the Aid of All
the Labor Organizations.
ALLIANCE DEFEATS EXPLAINED.
Onlj Whipped in the West by a Comlina
tion of the Old Tarties.
AMI SUB-TREASURY MEN' FULLY OUT
IXDiAKAroi.is, Xov. 20. The various
farmers' organirations have nearly com
pleted their work and a final adjournment
of the Supreme Council of the Alliance,
which is holding out the longest, will prob
ably finish its work to-morrow.
To-day the F. M. B. A. adjourned after
amending its constitution so as to admit to
membership women and men over 18 years
of age. It resolved not to amalgamate
with any other organization until the Feb
ruary meeting. The F. H. B. A. also re
elected Treasurer Haines and chose a board
of trustees. The delegates to the February
meeting were instructed to Tote for inde
pendent political action.
The Alliance to-day chaDged its consti
tution to admit women. The anti-sub-Treasury
people, after issuing a call for a
convention t Memphis December 1C, pub
lished a two column card charging 3Ir.
Macane with wrecking the Texas Alliance
Exchange and making big money thereby,
and with trying to sell out the Alliance to
the old political parties. M-ost of these
charges were made at the Ocala meeting.
A Kfefc Against Co-Operative Stores.
The Reform Press Association threatens
to bolt the Alliance if the State Agents'
Association carries out its purpose of mak
ing all purchases through the National
Union Company. i
The People's party men are the best sat
isfied of all those who have gathered here.
They claim to have secured all they came
for, and even more. To-night the Xational
Executive Committee issued an address to
the people of the United States. It is as
follows:
TheXational Committee of the People's
party or the United States deem it pioDer to
lay before their constituents some (state
ment of the results of the conference held
by them with various representatives of or
ganized industry in this city during the
past few days. Those results have been in
every respect most katifactor3 There is
no longer any doubt that candidates for
President and Vice President will be In the
flcld before June I, 1S92, nominated by the
People's party.
It seems to us very plain that the time has
come when no influence of the old political
organizations arM no po"er of aggregated
capital can prevent the heartr co-operation
of all the labor forces of the United States,
whether employed in the workshop or in
the mine or on the farm. This is an impor
tant event in the history of the nation and
of civilized man.
The Producers and tlieXon-Proiluccrs.
The producing clase of the United
States are the nation all others simply live
by the tolls imposed on the industry of the
workers. We make no war upon the non
producers, as such. Some of them tender
the people a full equivalent of services for
nil they receive; others are robbers and
plunderers, who, through the imperfection
of our laws, strip toil of its possessions and
yet escape the penitentiary.
The people nave beheld with growing
alarm the continual advance of condition
which every day carried us farther and
farther away from the principles and tradi
tions of the founders of the Republic, and
nearer and nearer to an abvss in which wo
can see only the dissolution of a crushing
oligarchy or the dreadful alternative of
revolution and anarchy It is for the pur
pose of sa ing free institutions by thencace
lul instrumentalities of education and the
ballot that the People"s party or the United
Mates has been organized.
Ko honest man can fail to acknowledge
the overwhelming necessity which exists
for such a movement. We "have seen the
shadow of plutocracy spreading steadily
over our land. We have seen the railroad
corporations grow from humble beginnings,
the mere servitois of the neople. Into a vast
and powerful conspiracy which controls our
elections, corrupts our IegiIatnies, de
bauches our juries and casts the slime of its
rottenness over the verv judges of our
courts, the last resort of Justice.
not Shot for the Bankers.
We have teen the banking associations
from being at iirst mere conveniences for
the accommodation of the people swell into
r. loidly National Confederation, holding all
business in its grip, able to make or w reck,
as their own interests may dictate, the pros
perity of all clases, while not a dollar of
currency is able to And its wavto the people
from the Government that does not repre
sent a dollar of dobt to the money-manipulating
clast.
Nine-tenths of the population of this
country, In consequence of the gross mis
representations of the press, believe that
the People's party vote or Kansas in 1891 fell
off very greatly fram their ote in 1S90 The
official publication of the vote taken this
ear shows that, although the total vote of
all parties in Kansas was ahont 30,000 less
than it was a vear ago, the People's party
vote was actually increased about HUpor
cent over its vote in 1S90, or 47 per cent of
the entire vote.
The Eepublican rr.ajoritv in South Da
kota was reduced from 10,000 in 1S90 to 2,700
in 1691, while In Nebraska the People's party
came within 3,000 votes or defeating the
combined power of both the old parties and
elected 11 District Judges. It is true, in
some Judicial districts of Kansas, the Peo
ple's party candidates were defeated, but it
was only bv an unholy nnion of the Demo
cratic and Republican parties against them.
Old Tartiei Combine Against Them.
The hereditary enemies of a half century
gave np their sham battle, and under the in
spiration of the money power rushed into
each other's arms, and in one fond embrace
resolved to forget protection, reciprocity,
the silver question and everything else if
tbey could only prevent the oppressed peo
ple of Kansas from obtaining the govern
mental reforms which they sought In this
ct they conclusively demonstrated that
they are the two Dromios of plutocracy, and
that only the difference of a feather distin
guishes them from one another.
The people perceive that there is room in
this countrr for
: only two political parties
a party which represents the people and a
party which represents the plunderers of
the people. Before the close of the election
or lsui we expect to see the two old parties,
with all their banners and war cries, march
ing together in defense of the iniquities
which have covered the land with mort
gages and driven tho Bepublie to the vcrgo
of destruction.
And so, under auspicious ctrcumstances,
cheered by an abiding faith in our triumph
oT 1892 at the ballot box, fighting for the
homes of a free people, for liberty, union.
Industry and justice, we confidently appeal
toetery honest man in the United States to
come forward and help us bury the monster,
plutocjacv, so deep that he will never arise
fguin.
A Closing Appeal to All.
Do not watt to be summoned to action.
This fight is every man's fight. It is a fight
for the rooftreo and the babe In the cradle.
It is a fight to determine whether our pros
perity shall be reducod to Old World condi
tions or shall advance along the line of the
Declaration of Independence and the Con
stitution to greater prosperity and higher
civilization.
Wherever this appeal catches any man,
let him call his friends ,and uoighbors to
KCtherat once, organize a People's club and

FATE FOLLOWS A FAMILY.
TWO CHIIYDRKsr BURNED UP BKFORE
THE PAKKNTS'ETia.
Horrible Accident to a West Virginia
Household While the Elders Are at
Church Their Home Js Destroyed, With
Two Babes A Previous Fatality.
Oatlettsbukg, Kt., Nov. 20. -JSjxciaZ.
David Bartram, a farmer living three
miles from Louisa, Ky., on Mill Creek,
"Wayne county, "V. Vs., witnessed the
death of two of his infant children last
night The family had gone to church,
about two miles distant, leaving three of
the smallest children at home to keep house.
The little ones retired very early, and were
soon sound asleep. Near 8 o'clock the
largest of the three was awakened by a
rattling noise which caused it to get up.
On examination it was found that the house
had caught fire in the kitchen and the
flames were rapidly eating up the building.
The first thing the eldest child thought
of doing was to warn papa and mamma of
what had happened, little thinking of the
danger which its little brothers were in.
The child at once 6et out for the church in
its nightclothes. On arriving at the church
the child ran breathlessly into the crowd
and soon told its pititul story to the par
ents, who at once set out for their onco
beautiful horn', which by this time was
wrapped in flames.
On arriving at the home it was too late.
The cries that went up when the family
stood by and saw their darling ones
burning to death were heartrend
ing. All that could be done was
to rake from the burning ruins the charred
bodies of the children. So excited were the
attendants at the church that all left at
once for the place.
This is the seeond accident that has hap
pened in the family in the last few years.
The first was the killing of their youngest
son, "William, while coming from his work
in the field. He was ridfng home on a
mule which had just been turned out of the
plow, when the animal became frightened
and ran away. The boy was soon thrown
from from the animal, and away went the
mule at full speed, with the bov bouncing
trom one side to the other, with his feet
fastened in the chains. The boy's head was
so badly mashed that he could hardly be
recognized.
The remains of the children were gath
ered up as well as conld be done and will be
interred in the family burying ground to
morrow. Mr. Bartram had a beautiful
country home. The loss will probably reach
?iu,uuu. j otnmg was saved trom the house.
ALMOST MET HEE MATCH.
The Champion Teraale Fngilist Treated to
All the Fight She Wanted.
EW York, Kov. 20. Special One of
the attractions of the Irwin Brothers'
traveling combination is Mrs. Hattie Leslie,
extensively advertised as the "champion
lady pugilist of the world." To-night,
at the Grand Theater in "Williams
burg, Gussie Freedman, alias Loney, tried
conclusions in three one-minute and one
four-minute round for a purse of $25.
Iioney is 2G years old and weighs about 200
pounds. Both women were in full ring cos

gray trunks, and Loney wok white tiglus
and a red tunic. Time was called at 10.1-X

Hodges. See his practical sermon in THE
DISPATCH to-morrow.
A EEILLIANT BIT OF BUNKOING.
One Farmer in Maine Who Was Smarter
Than He Appeared to Be.
Dextkr, Me., Xov. 20. Special. A
really brilliant job of bunkoing was recently
performed here by a half-witted farmer,
Lewis Cowen, whose home is at Palmyra.
He swindled the Dexter Savings Bauk'out
of 51,000. fleeced a neighbor named Blais
dell to the tune of ?500, and sold 25 sheep
belonging to another neighbor, appropri
ating the proceeds. He cleared out with
over S1.C00 iu spoils. On Novembers he
came into the Dexter Savings Bank and
stated that he desired to mortgage his farm
in Palmyra. He represented that the place
was free from .incumbrances, and he also
offered to assign to the bank a mortgage
upon a rjiece of land in Pittsfield held by
him against his brother Hiram. The bank
took the alleged security and advanced
$1,000. This mortgage on the Pittsfield
land has since proved to be worthless.
Two days afterward Cowen approached
Neighbor Blaisdell and asked for a loan of
S500. The swindler alleged that if he could
secure $500 he could raise the mortgage on
his place. It now is revealed that Cowen
bought the farm from an Aroostook man,
a few years ago, paying f 200 and giving a
mortgage to the seller for 51,000. But
Blaisdell believed his story, handed over the
5500, and Cowen disappeared about a week
ago.
Utilizing the Current or Rivers.
It is stated that within a short time an
entirely new mode of using the current of
rivers having no waterfall, when the current
runs from three to ten miles an hour with a
depth of two to four feet, will be broutrht
out. The proposed scheme involves the use
of a new water wheel which, it is said, will
practically and effectually settle the ques
tion of utilizing the natural current of the
rivers, and willbe especially advantageous
in power transmission for mining districts.

JUDGE CLARK DEAD.
Briglit's Disease Ends the Life of One
of the State's Ablest Jurists.
THE STORY OP HIS EVENTFUL LIFE
A Descendant of One of the Old Revolu
tionary Families.
GOVERNOR TATTISON'S DEEP REGEETS
Judge Silas M. Clark died at 9:15 o'clock
last evening at his home in Indiana, Pa.,
from Bright's disease and diabetes. For the
last six weeks he has been suffering as well
from a carbuncle on the back of his neck.
The carbuncle was, lanced, but refused to
discharge. The pain was so great for a
week he did not eat or sleep.
On Tuesday the doqtor gave tip
all hopes. Yesterday he fell into a coma
tose condition, from which he did not re
cover. The funeral will take place Monday
afternoon.
Judge Clark was born at Elderton, Arm
strong county, in 1834. The following ypar
his father moved to Indiana, and resided
there until his death about two months ago.
The Judge's grandfather was a soldier in
the Eevolntionary "War, and was distin
guished for his valor and bravery. He came
from Cumberland county, and at the close
of the war located at Hannastown, then the
county seat of Westmoreland county. Some
years afterward he moved to Southbend,
Armstrong county, where he died at the age
of 93 years.
If e Was Once a Stage Driver. ,
Judge Clark's father was one of the fore
most men of Indiana, carrying on a tannery
and other enterprises. He also ran a line
of stage coaches, and Silas Clark for a num
ber of years wag one of the drivers. He
graduated at Jefferson College, Canonsburg,
in 1852. He was qnick .at learning, so
quick that some people said they never
knew him to itudy a lesson, and
yet he always managed to pull
through with Ins classes. After gradu
ation lie taught a select school in Mechan
icsburg, Indiana county, for some time and
then became principal of the Indiana Acad
emy. In 1854 he entered the law office of
William M. Stewart, Esq., now a solicitor
of the Pennsvlvania Kailroad and a resi-
Judge flilat 2f. Clark.
dent of Philadelphia. While a student in
Mr. Stewart's office in connection with
Joseph M. Thompson and Colonel John F.
Young, both now deceased, he started the
Indiana Menenqer, which supported James
Buchanan for President in 1856. He was a
brilliant and forcible writer. In 1857 he
sold his interest in the newspaper and was
admitted to practice in the several courts of
Indiana county.
For a number of years young Clark at
tended to their office- business in Indiana,
but one day in the absence of his employers
conducted a case for them with such signal
ability that from that time forward, until
elected to the Supreme Bench, he had all
the law business of his own that he was able
to attend.
One or the State's Ablest Lawyers.
From that time until his election as one
of the Justices of the Supreme Court, he
was actively engaged in the practice of his
profession,and earned a wide celebrity as
an astute and clear-headed lawyer. He was
called to the adjoining counties to con
duct important cases and was recognized as
one of the leading lawyers of the State. For
a number of years he was the attorney for
the First National Bank of Indiana and
was its President when elected Judge.
He took a deep interest in agriculture,
and owned a fine farm adjoining the town
of Indiana for a number of years and
served as President of the Indiana County
Agricultural Society. At the time of his
death and for a number of years he was
President of the Board of Trustees of the
Indiana State Normal School, and lived to
see it one of the foremost educational in
stitutions of the State. Judge Clark was a
Democrat in politics.
Went in With Pattison Jn '82.
He was the Democratic candidate for
President Judge of the old Tenth district,
composed of the counties of Indiana, "West
moreland and Armstrong, and was defeated
by Judge James A Logan, now solicitor of
the Pennsylvania Railroad. He was a mem
ber of the Constitutional Convention and
served on several of the most important
committees of that body, and did much in
the preparation of the best features of that
instrument. He was elected to the Su
preme Bench in 1882, going into office on
the great Democratic political wave of that
year.
Judge Clark was a man of powerful
physique and in early life noted as a great
eater, but in time his stomach gave way,and
he suffered for many years with Bright's dis
ease and was forced to be extremely
abstemious. The bread he ate was specially
prepared and he atoned for early indulgence
by years of intense suffering. "He married
Claressa Moorhead, a sister of Mrs. Frank
P. Case, of this city. Their father, "William
Moorhead, who died lately in this city, was
the first white child born in Indiana county.
He leaves two sons and three daughters,
a sister, MrB. Lizzie Stewart, of Indiana
and a brother, Scott Clark, of the came
place.
On hearing of the death, Governor Patti
eon wired the family as follows:
Was deeply pained to hear of Judge
Clark's death. His family has my warmest
sympathy. An honest man, a good citizen
an upright Judge, and an able Jurist has
been taken from us. Pennsylvania will reel
and mourn his loss. Please advise me or the
day aud hour of funeral.
THE KAISEB AMD ELZCTBICITY.
Bis Visit to Ubrd Salisbury Inspired Him
With All Sorts ot Schemes.
It is stated that the German Emperor con
templates the application of. electricity in
many ways in his palace at Berlin. While
on his recent visit to England he paid a
visit to Iiord Salisbury's country seat, Hat
field. Lord Salisbury has a decided me
chanical and scientific turn, besides being
an excellent electrician, and has personally
superintended some notable improvements
on his property. Among these is the gen
eration of electricity by turbines, the Elver
Ijea being utilized for the purpose; motors
for driving pumps, making.ice and working
air propellers for ventilating purposes;
raising hay and corn sheaves to the top of
the stacks "by electricitr, and by the same
means threshing, cutting rough grass for
ensilage, grinding cvrn, making fodder,
driving piles, constructing coffer dams,
dredging and pumping sewage for irriga
tion. The German Emperor is said to have
examined into the working of every piece
of machinery at Hatfield w ith the greatest
interest and admiration, and to have be
come so convinced of the economy and effi
ciency of electrical applications as to de
cide on utilizing them to the greatest pos
sible extent on his own properties.
LUXUBIES IN AFEICA.
The
Germans Are living Higher Than
Their, Friends From England.
A London correspondent, having taken
some pains to obtain information with ref
erence to the prospects and present position
of the British and German colonies on the
East Coast of Africa, says: "All my infor
mants agree in one thing, that the British
East Africa Company cannot hope to do
any permanent good until a railway is made
from the coast to the Victoria Nyanza. One
gave it as his opinion that the Germans would
have a railway to the lake before we had,
and in that case they would of course have
a long start in the struggle for commercial
supremacy. German officers, not only on
the coast but in the interrior, are very much
more liberally supplied with both the
necessaries and the luxuries of life than are
the officers of the British Company further
north. When starting for the anterior the
personal baggage of theBritish officers must
be reduced to such a limited quantity that
they are deprived of all the small acces
sories of civilization. All down the coast
the British Company has a far from envia
ble reputation for its treatment of its em
ployes.
"Mr. George Mackenzie is himself a man
of iron constitution, with a fine scorn for
she smaller comforts of life. He does not
require from his employes any sacrifice
which he is not himself prepared to make,
but all are not prepared to make, but all are
not constituted alike, and a good deal of
grumblinff results from the Spartan rules of
the British Company. The pop of the
champagne cork is not unknown many
leagues from the outskirts of German civili
zation. There arc not wanting among
English travelers advocates of this doctrine
ofcomtort. Mr. xi. xu jonnsion ls.nrmiy
convinced that a snowy napkin and irre
proachable table cutlery go an appreciable
distance toward preserving health in Afri
can travel. Potted meats and delicacies of
every description accompany him wherever
he goes."

THE BEEEDEES ORGANIZE.
Nearly .Every nerd Book Association
in
America Represented.
Chicago, Nov. 20. By far the most im
portant meeting of breeders of the many
held this week in Chicago was that at the
Grand Pacific Hotel to-night, when the Na
tional Live Stock Association of the United
States received its permanent organization.
Delegates were present from nearly all of
the 30 recognized Herd Book Associaticns.
Fully $500,000,000 of capital was repre
sented. Dr. Salmon, Chief of the Department of
Animal Industry at "Washington, expressed
great satisfaction at such an organization
having been formed under such auspicious
circumstances. It had a wide field for use
fulness, and the department at Washington
had long felt the need of such a body. For
eign commerce received extensive discus
sion, and is expected to form a large part of
the lutnre work of the body.
Charged With Malfeasance In Office.
Carlisle, Nov. 20. Special Informa
tion was to-day made against the Directors
of the Poor of Cumberland county before a
Justice by Ellen Wilson, aunt of Joseph
Diller, the boy who was whipped to death
bv John Lafferty near Gettysburg several
days ago. The information charges neglect
of duty and malfeasance in office. The ar

Kittanntn o, Nov. 20. John B. Bnff
ner, of West Franklin township, this
county, who was arrested on the 5th
inst to answer a charge of the murder of
Shields A. Rosenberger in September,
1866, was bound over at the preliminary
hearing before JusticeiDonaldson to-day to
answer at the court of Oyer and Terminer
at the December sessions.
An altercation that took place on the
premises of the defendant at that time sud
denly ended in the throwing of a stone at
young Kosenberger, who was taking cher
ries without permission from his trees, and
from the effects of which he fell to the
ground and died is a few minutes. No
actual eye witnesses of the occurence were
called to-day, but from admissions subse
quently proven to have -been made by Kuff
ner, sufficient evidence seems to have been
gleaned to warrant an investigation in the
Criminal Court.
The long time intervening between-the
occurrence and the action now taken, is at
tributed to the removal shortly thereafter
of the father of Bosenberger from the
county ann is inability through lack of
means to urge the prosecution. Another
theory is that ill will toward the defendant
held by outside parties has prompted them
to urge this prosecution as a means of re
venge. The respectability of the parties and the
investigation that will ensue, has already
elicited much interest in the outcome of this
resurrected crime.
A Battle With Burglars.
St. Maeys, Nov. 20. Special Desper
ate house-breakers attempted to effect an
entrance into the farm house of Fred
Fremering, 12 miles south of this city, last
night, when-Fremering's eldest son, hear
ing the noise, stole quietly down stairs with
a gun, the contents of which he let the
thieves have just as thejr were opening a
window. The burglars escaped, however,
and returned the fire when at a safe dis
tance. Eight shots were exchanged in all,
and before assistance arrived Fremering
had been fatally 'wounded, his body being
riddled with shot. The whole country is up
in arms, and short work will be made with
the thieves it' captured.
Jail Breaking Ignorantly Frustrated.
Salem, O., Nov. 20. Special An
almost successful attempt at jail-breaking
was discovered, at New Libson to-day. Two
prisoners, named Baum and Dobbing, both
of whom have been sentenced to the peni
tentiary and awaiting transfer, the mur
derer Politzka and the East Palestine train
wiecker Canfield, who were awaiting trial,
had from unknown source obtained several
fine saws and had almost completed opera
tions. They would have been free with
two more nights' work, when they were
ordered to Columbus, thus destroying their
plans, which afterward were discovered.

Three of Erie's Green Goods Gang Ac
quitted In Spite or Strong Evidence.
Ebie, Nov. 20. Special' Charle's and
Ernest Duyree and their sister, Miss Emma
Dnryee, of Union City, have been on trial
for almost a week upon a charge of working
the "green goods" racket on Butcher
Waldo, of Union City. It is alleged that'
the three had entered into a Anspiracy to
beat the butcher, and he, on the other
hand, arranged with the constable, C. M.
Sherve, of Union City, to witness the pro
ceedings under cover. The outcome was a
sale and the parties were arrested and in
dicted. The three defendants were acquitted, but
the costs were divided between the de
fendants, the prosecutor and the constable
who worked up the case. The evidence was
exceedingly sensational. There have been
scores of cases of almost the same highly
sensational character brought into court,
but it is seldom that a jury convicts..
The Ohio Covered With McDonald Oil.
Steubentille, Nov. 20. Special l)
The alarming prevalence of diarrhea and
dysentary in this vicinity has led many
people to ascribe it to the condition of the
river water. The water is all right but for
the large amount of waste oil from the Mc
Donald field. Whether crude petroleum
is to be blamed physicians differ, but in
either case people are using as little water
as 'possible. From the appearance of the
shores between this and East Liverpool, one
would think it a vast oil tank. The reced
ing waters of the recent small rise leaves
everything covered with crude oil, which
finds its way from McDonald by the way
of the mouth of Chartiers creek, some 70
miles above this place. -
A Tree Marked for General Scott.
New Castle, Nov. 20. Special A
curious freak of nature adorns the mantel
iu the residence of John Totten, a farmer of
Scott township, in the form of a knot which
contains a remarkably good likeness of Gen
eral Scott. The strange part of- it is that
the seed which produced the tree from
which the mantel was made was brought
from Mexico by Mr. Totten's father, who
was in the Mexican war.

The Belief Kow Is That Bio-Grande Will

REFUGEES WHO OPPOSE SECESSION'
Londox, Nov. 20. The Exchange Tele
graph Company has further advices from
Bio de Janeiro this afternoon, but no indi
cation is given as to how the dispatches
escaped suppression by the censorship. Ac
cording to these dispatches the, condition of
affairs throughout Brazil is rapidly growing
more critical. Everywhere discontent and
disaffection with the present regime are be
coming more pronounced. Instead of tran
quility and acquiescence in Fonseca's as
sumption of dictatorial power, there is
vigorous opposition and increasing agita
tion. In general terms, the political con
dition of the country is described as closely
bordering on anarchy.
In spite of the efforts of the Government
to reduce Bio Grande do Sul to obedience
by force of arms, or to win its allegiance by
concessions, it is now generally admitted at
Rio Janeiro that that State will adhere to
lits attitude of opposition to the Dictator.
Prospects ror the New Republic.
More than this, everybody whose opinion
'i entitled to weight believes that the State
will be strong enough to maintain its inde
pendence, as the reports from there show
that the provisional Junta is well supplied J
with lands, ana is daily increasing me ei
fective strength of its army.
Fonseca's death is likely at any moment.-
Though it is known that he has been ill,
this statement is not supposed to refer to
death by natural causes. It is taken to
moan that there is extreme danger of his
assassination or of a sudden "tnd powerful
uprising of the incensed opposition which
will overthrow the present regime and make
away with its head.
Other cablegrams this morning from Brazil
briefly announce that there has been a sharp
engagement on the Bio Grande, at the en
trance to the lake leading up to Fort Aiegre,
the capital of the "New Republics do Sul," '
where the vessels sent en rcconnoisance by
Marshal da Fonseca were defeated. .They
found that the insurgents had most cleverly
fortified the approaches to the bar near Bio
Grande, over which vessels drawing only 13
feet can pass, and that a heavy bombard
ment was necessary to force that passage.
A Naval Attack Repulsed.
The two gunboats and the torpedo boats
sent to reconnoiter the place appear, ac
cording to the message referred to, to have,
been hit several times. One of the gunboats
is reported as severly damaged, and the
torpedo boat, which pushed pluckily to the
front and tried to get over the bar, is re
ported to have been riddled bv gattling
guns. From this it is supposed that a rapid
Ire gun was brought to bear on her,and suc
ceeded in finding the bull's eye. The re
ported engagement is not confirmed by sub
sequent cable messages received here.
A dispatch from Buenos Ayres says:
There was an influx here yesterday of
refugees from Brazil, who had come by way
of Montevideo. These had an opportunity
of joining the movement in Bio Grande do
Sul, but declined to do so, because while
opposed to Fonseca and attached to the Re
public, they are also opposed to any division
of the Republic.
Many people are leaving Eio Janeiro, not
so much on account of any present danger
as of what might happen in the event of a
struggle that threatened the capital. Fon
