SOUTH AMERICAN TROUBLES
The Rovolutionists Again Bombarding
Rio dc Jauelro-wa In Argentine.

The Rcvolutionists Again Bombardln1
Rio de Janclro-war In Argentine.
MoYTEvIDEo, Sept. 27.-The Brazilian
rebel feet which has been SO long
blockading the harbor of Rio de ia
metro again bombarded the city yester-
day. Under Adm. Mellos' order the
firing was very severe and the damage
done exceeds that of the first lombard
ment Several women and children
We're killed, but the extent of the dam
age and loss of life is not yet known,
rs no news is permitted by the govern
ment to be sent direct from Rio Ja-
metro.
Most Of Mellos' feet is still keeping
up a vigorous blockade of Santos.
Copies of Adm. Mellos' proclamation
have been received here. The leader
of the revolters declares that President
Peixoto, with the aid of corrupt meth
dds in the senate and deputies, has
overridden the restrictions put upon
their powers by the constitution and is
trying to place Brazil under the rule Of
an absolute tyrany. IF by my aid"
the proclamation continues, lin max
ing this stand for liberty our cause
shall triumph, shall hand over the
government to those honorable men
who have given freedom to our nation
before"
Four members of the Brazilian con-
gress on board the rebel cruiser Aquidi-
ban have signed an address to the pub
lie. They say President Peixoto and
the members of his cabinet have been
stealing the public funds, destroying
the autonomy of the states and foment-
ing national war in order TO serve
their own personal ends. These acts.
together with the dictatorial conduct
of both the president and vice-presi-
dent, compel the signers, as representa-
tives of the national will, to make the
patient, solemn fight for freedom. They
gave Adm. Mellos command of their
forces at this juncture with view of
restoring peace, restoring law and re-
establishing republican principles.
The address closes with an appeal
to all patriotic Brazilians to help their
cause.
Reports reach here that revolts
against President PeiXoto have oc-
Cured in several of the states of Bra
iii and that the situation in the inte-
rior is worse than on the coast. The
coast line is now practically thoroughly
blocked by the rebel fleet and there is
no doubt that the insurgent ships are
we'll supplied with provisions by their
friends in the interior.
THE ARGENTINE WAR;
BUENos AYREs, Sept 21.-EX-Presi-
dent Pelligrini who was recently capt
ured by the insurgents and who came
near being shot, has again been taken
prisoner and is imprisoned at Tucumen
by order of the insurgent junta. 1t is
said that he will be tried and executed.
At Santa Fe some of the national troops
have sided with the rebels, and the lat
ter expect to receive further reinforce
ments from the same source.
The rebels are now pressing Santa
Fe on the west bank of the Rio Salado,
and miles from Bajada de Santa Fe,
capital of Entire. The population OF
Santa Fe is about 1900 and it has IN
extensive trade with the interior.

Alone on the Prairie.

The day was in that transitory
state when twilight fingers in the lap
of dav and darkness struggles for the
ascendencv. The sun hung in great
red ball of lurid flame betwiNt heaven
and earth; there was feeling of pro-
found quiet which seemed to settle
on all things animate and inanimate.
The birds, the insects, the very trees
and sprouting plants were for the
moment hushed as if in expectancy of
some unforeseen, some inexplicable
something which seemed to pervade
the very atmosphere. A bull frog
purgled softly as he fell into the linn
pid water. Suddenly, over the brow
of distant hill. there appeared Il
solitary man, seated astride "A great
bay horse; he cast one long sweeping
glance around him and then went
back over the brow of the hill again.
And that same night over 700 people
were turned away unable to gain adj
mission to the opera house where
..She Couldn't Marry Three" was be-
ing played to the most delighted au-
dience of the season.
