New York, Jan. 6.-The United States
and Brazil mail steamship Seguranca,
which arrived this morning from Bra
lillian ports, brings news OF an epidemic
of yellow fever that had been raging at
Santos for some time.
The Seguranca brings the first details
OF the bloody encounter between the
Government troops and the people OF Per-
nambuco, in which thirty were killed out
right and about hundred wounded.
December 18th the Government sent mil
ltary Governor to Pernambuco to replace
the former Gov ernor of that place. The
people regarded this as an act of tyranny
and oppression, and when the military
Governor appeared, surrounded by
troops, they pelted him with stones and
other missiles. The order then came to
fire on the people, and at the first volley
dozen citizens fell dead, while number
were wounded. The revolutionists gave
way, but quickly prepared to make re-
newed and desperate resistance. The
troops charged upon and drove them from
street to street, many citizens falling
pierced by bayonets or bullets. A pitched
battle took place on one side of the plaza,
in which the citizens fought stubbornly,
but the trained soldiers were too much
for them

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Barkeeper Vignolio Becomes Despond-
ent and Shoots Himself.

haFk0SpoT N1gnOI1O becomes DeSDOnd-
ent and Shoots Himself.
Syl. e. Vignolio, barkeeper at the
Golden Eagle Hotel, attempted to commit
suicide at l o'clock this morning by
shooting himself in the abdomen.
Vignolio has been rooming for
some time in a fiat on o street near Sew
enth with party of young men. From
all accounts he had been attempting to
stand the expenses of the household and
found the contract too much for him. He
became deeply involved financially and
then had trouble with his room-mates,
1t is presumed that he became despond-
ent and concluded to end his life. After
reporting of watch last evening at the
hotel, he asked Night Clerk Bell
for the loan of revolver, but
that gentleman declined to accommodate
him. Nignolio, however, procured a
pistol elsewhere. He then went to his
apartments, packed up all of his effects,
and then going out upon the street, shot
himself.
@@Dr. Bruno was summoned after Wig
nolio was carried home, and dressed the
wound. The bullet entered the left side
of the abdomen, ranging backward, and
was cut out of his back by the doctor.
The wound is q very serious one,
but at last accounts this morning the
wouldbe suicide was still alive. He was
conscious, but declined to say anything
about the affair.

THE FRESNO TRAGEDY.
Murphy Abandons the Theory of Self
Defense.

FRESNO, Jan. 6.-The theory of self
defense has been abandoned in the case of
James II. Murphy for the killing of Will
lam Mckay, at Fresno Flats, in the east
ern portion of this county, last Saturday.
Trouble arose about dispute over min
ing claim, and Murphy shot Mckay dead.
Both the murdered man and the MUIR
derer have been before the public before.
Mckay was bookkeeper for Robert Max
well, who once operated general store
at Fresno Flats, and who some time ago
went through insolvency. During the
trial Mckay was openly charged with
perjury. Murphy was once hoodlum
of San Francisco, where he had an unen-
viable reputation. He has been in the
mountains about Fresno Flats, where he
worked much of the time either for him
self or someone else. The killing has
created but little surprise in the minds of
those who knew the men.

It's Settlement Looks to be Far in the
Future.
New YORK, Jan. Ga dispatch from
Washington says: When on November
10th Of last year Attorney General Miller
made an announcement before the Su-
preme Court of the United States that the
basis for arbitrating the Behring Sea
difficulty had been reached, he was say
ing what of course was at the time strictly
true. An agreement seemed to have been
arrived at as to the different questions to
be submitted to arbitrators. What
Attorney General Miller then announced
has all now been upset by demands
on the part of Lord Salisbury for a
further modification of the agreement
reached in November. Precisely what
the nature of these demands is, it is i'm
possible to ascertain just now, but that
they are touching minor points, however.
not heretofore raised by him, seems
pretty certain, so that in extent they APP
pear Frivolous and insincere, rather than
based upon sound premises. Indeed
they suggest in an unpleasant manner
the policy OF delay which has character
lied Lord SaIisbury's conduct through
out these negotiations, and which. il 1t
was not intended as such, has most I'M
dou btedly resulted in serious loss,
financial and otherwise, to the United
States. There is good reason, however.
for believing that the patience of this
Government is exhausted. 1t would be
premature, perhaps, to say anything
definite at the present time, but means
will not be wanting, when required, to
compel the more prompt consideration
of the questions at issne or the part of
Lord Salisbury.

LIVERPOOL, Jan. 6.-Sir George Baden
Powell, member of the British Behring
Sea Commission, says Lord Salisbury
told him that he Salisbury wanted to
avoid war with the United States, but at
the same time he wanted to be strong and
to show that he is not going to yield one
jot OF British rights. Sir George said he
thought Salisbury finally brought on the
awkward dispute, which might have re-
suited in war. 1t was his conviction that
England would win in the arbitration.
The British Commissioners, he declared,
made important Investigations, but the
friendliness they had established with
Americans and Russians would yet bear
fruit. All matchmaking men in Eng
land and America Sir George added,
would be delighted to find the serious
bone of contention removed.
