We have accounts from Brazil of horribly
blasphemous and murderous fanaticism
among set OF. German colonists, led by a man
named Mauerer, claiming to be prophet.
The home of a seceder from the sect was at
tackled by the partisans of Mauerer and
burned and the inmates, including women
and children, shot. When the police ap-

forest settlement, and, although force of
regulars was brought up, the soldiers we're
repulsed with FIVE killed and forty-fve
wounded. At last dates the troops and a
national guard were being collected and can

island. We may, therefore, expect stirring
news from the far east.
