New YORK, Nov. IA. - The Worlds
special from Rio Janeiro. dsted Novem-
Der g. says: The most important piece of
news that has become current here for
some time is the report that Desterre. the
capi tal of the Provisional Government set
up by Mello, has been taken by forces
which PeixotO sent against it.
These forces were commanded BY Gen.
eral Agolla, who has sent dispatch
claiming victory over President Lorena
after a sharp fight. This news is very
encouraging to PeixOto's adherents. who
regard it as proof that Mello will be un-
able to maintain foothold on land.
Colonel Mariana has been sent to Pa
rama on special mission in relation to the
States of Parana and Santa Catharina.
He is to raise battal1Ons of volunteers for
the purpose OF putting down any attempt
at in surrection in those States and to help
Petxoto at the capital If required.
Governor Lima of Pernambuco declares
that perfect peace prevails throughout
that State, and the same declarations are
made regarding all the northern States of
the republic. Nothing is known here of
the reported attempt at revolt in the State
of San Paulo, and the report is discredited.
The insurgents have mounted four
heavy siege guns on Mocangne Heights
and are keeping them busy. The Govern
ment forces set fire to several warehouses
where torpedOes were stored, causing num-
urous explosions.
1he heavy fusilade is kept up at San
Domingo. where the Insurgents have been
making an attempt to land. Mello's yes
sells are bombarding the shore line west of
Nictheroy proper, and the forts, espe-
cfally ST. John, are shelling Villegagnon.
The firing is described as being furious
aud inceSsaut from sunrise until dark.
The reports sent to Europe and the
United States to the effect that foreigners
were abused and killed by the Government
forces are absolutely false.
The cruiser Aquidaban joined In the
bombar1ment of the city on the Sth. caus-
ing heavy destruction of property and the
woJnding Of many people in The streets.

-tral Government.
