BRAZILIAN ADvICES.
yellow Fever Checked by Heavy RAINS
Recent KiOting.

yellow Fever Checked by Heavy Rains.
Recent Kioting.
New YORK, April 25.-Advices from
Rio Janeiro, by steamer, under date OF
March 26th say: The yellow fever epi-
demic has extended to the interior and
some small towns have been almost en-
tirely abandoned by the inhabitants.
Heavy rains in Sac Palo and Santos
will probably tend to check the progress
of the malady. These rains flooded the
cities of Sac Palo and Santos, and caused
much suffering. In Santos thirty or
forty persons are said to have perished,
and the damage to property is estimated
at over 81 100000.
There are indications of exciting po-
litical events in Rio Grande do Sui. In
the city OF Relotas' there was rioting on
the 18th of March, growing out of row
between civilians and soldiers. One OF
the soldiers was killed and four
wounded. The commandant then sent
out detachments of troops which made
many arrests. They broke into houses,
attacked inoffensive persons and COM
mitted other lawless acts.

Enemies OF the Brazilian Government
Spreading Mendaclous Reports.
WASHINGTON, April %. = General
Foster Of the state department, who as
sisted in the reciprocity negotiations
with the Brazilian government, said
this afternoon there were several errors
in the dispatch from Rio Janeiro con-
cerning the reciprocity agreement with
that country. the principal one being
that this government pledged itself not
to make similar agreement with any
European government. This govern
ment (the United States) never was
asked by Brazil to make such promise,
and of course never made it.
Secretary Blaine subsequently en-
dorsed Fosters statement as correct,
and Senior Mendonca. the Brazilian min
lister, said he had already denied similar
statements emanating from ex Minister
Barbosa. These reports. said Mendonca.
are being circulated by the enemies of
the present government solely for poll
tical purposes. :.

FIGHTING IN AFRICA.

A Bloody Battle Between Protestant
Natives and Catholic Converts.
LONDON. April 25.-The Standards
Zanzibar correspondent confirms the
recently published story about fighting
in Uganda, East Africa, between Protest
ant natives and Catholic converts, led
by King Mwanga. The Protest
ants, he says, were we'll armed
with Snider rifles and were victorious
until Captain Lugard, the British East
Africa company's agent, arrived with
rifles. There were heavy casualties on
both sides. The correspondent also
says Bishop Heath reports that many
Catholics have been sold into slavery.
He states, as well, that the Catholics
are massing forces to renew the attack
on the Protestants.

TO FLY FOREIGN. FLAGS.
SCHEMES OF SEALERS TO EVADE
THE MODUS vIvENDI.
AS 1t Applies Only to British and Amer
lean Vessels They Will Change
Their Nationality.

VICTORIA, April 25. &C. E. w.
Gleadowe, OF the imperial treasury de-
partment, and A. ]. Rose, assistant
secretary OF the National Marine In
surance association, arrived yesterday I,
appointed by the British government to
inquire into the claims for compensation
made by sealers, apropos of the re-
newal of the modus vivendi for two
years.
Captain Cox, prominent sealer, said
that if the modus is enforced for two
years, the only way for many sealers is
to sell to the representatives of other
nations. Representatives from Ger
many and Italy would probably be here
shortly to take the schooners over and
send them to Bering sea under other
flags.
W. B. Hall says what the sealers
want is to get other nations interested,
so If England will not protect the sealers,
other nations will, if the sealers are fly
ing their flags.
Last year one of the sealing captains
asked the commander of the American
cutter if he would seize a schooner fly
ing the German flag. 'No." said the
commander, "my orders are only to
VAIN or seize British or American
schooners."
The owners of schooners are therefore
of the opinion that if the vessels fly
foreign flags they will not be prevented
from sealing, and then all the principal
nations OF the world will be interested
in the question. Ii this cannot be COM
pleted the schooners will have to do the
best they can in Bering sea and then 60
out for half a season next year.
All sealers, with the exception Of two
or three, are fitted out for Bering sea,
and many are about ready to enter, so
that if the warning reaches them be-
fore they get a catch, it will come hard
on many owners, some of whom have
every cent they possess in the vessels.
The schooners here and those which
receive the warning early will probably
go right over to the Russian coast.
If the government does not change
the modus before next spring, it is an
assured fact that sixty British schoon-
ers, hailing from Victoria, will sail un-
der foreign flags and look to foreign
governments for protection.

MAHATMAS FOR MOJAVE.
TRANsMIGRATED SOULS TO BE SET
TIED IN THE DESERT.
They Will Havo to Keep Aloof from
Newspaper Reporters - Proceed
ings of the Theosophist Con-
vention in Chicago.

CHICAGO April 25.--About 100 MEM
bers of the American section Of the
Theossphical society were present at to-
days session. 1t was decided to request
every member of the organization to
contribute 81 toward a fund for
Colonel Olcott, the retiring president.
The following executive committee
was chosen for the coming year: E. A.
Neresheimer, New York; Alexander
Fullerton, New York; A. H. Spencer,
New York; Elliott P. Page. St. Louis; ;
E. B. Rambo, San Francisco; DR.. A. H.
Buchanan, Fort Wayne, Ind; VIM. o.
Judge, New York; N. Ocsheimer was
elected treasurer and Mr.. Judge was re-
elected general secretary. Among the
twenty-four councillors elected was Mrs.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
At the afternoon session there was an
interesting discussion on "Is it reason
able to believe in the Mahatmas?"
DR.. Archibald Keightley said the ex-
istence of Mahatmas is the logical con-
clusion of the law of evolution.
A lady delegate asked why the Ma
hatma cages are always located beyond
the Himalayas.
Mr.. Judge responded: ''We couldn't
have them in America, because the
newspaper men would scent them out
and choke out of them the secrets they
possess. Furthermore, the Mahatmas'
bodies are not like ours. Should one
of these adopts visit us here, our bodies,
in the presence of their superior powers,
would take fire and become incinerated."
l,os, lro1 hnt
there was a splendid place in the Mo-
lave desert, 5000 feet above the sea,
where the Mahatmas might sequester,
and added that the Californians are
canvassing the idea of having some of
them settle there.
At the evening session Secretary
Judge delivered the closing lecture, on
Cyclic Impressions and Evolution.
The time and place of holding the
next convention will be named here
after.

TRANQUILITY IN ROME.

Everything Points to Peaceful OBJ
servance Of May Day.
ROME, April 25.-The reports put in
circulation that disturbances had oc.
Cured yesterday in this city and were
likely to be renewed, and in consequence
of the gravity OF the situation the
authorities had begun barricading the
houses of the government officials and
public buildings, prove upon thorough
investigation to be pure inventions.
There has been no trouble whatever,
and none of the extreme precautions
alleged to have been taken, are visible
on the closest scrutiny. The Socialists
are showing no signs OF preparing for
violent manifestations against the gov
ernment, and everything points to
peaceful observance OF May day.
