PREPARING A SURPRISE.
Admiral Msllo's New York Friends Pre-
pairing to Cripple Psixoto's Warship.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-There is reason
to believe, if rumors in circulation are
true, that the friends in this city of
Admiral Mello, leader of the Brazilian
rebels, are preparing to give the loyal
admiral, Mauritz, a surprise when the
steamer Ell Cid attempts to leave this
port on Nov. 16, equipped as one of
President Peixto's cruisers. Although
it is denied by the firm of M. Morgan
of No. 10 South street, that within the
past few days they have
parted with any of their pow
erful steel built tugs it
is understood that Mello's represen-
tatives here are anxious to buy a
couple of them. The object of the
purchase of the powerful and swift
sea-going craft, it is believed, is to en-
counter Ell Cid and ram her down off
Sandy Hook, provided she sails away
with the Brazilian flag flying astern,
if Ell Cid, however, clears with the
stars and stripes under escort of the
powerful armored cruiser, New York,
no effort will be made to destroy her.
An apparently accidental collision be-
tween FL Cid and some strong harbor
craft is a possibility until Piexoto's
dynamite cruiser is on the high seas.

on the night of Feb. II last, which
was referred to by Speaker Douglass
in his speech in this city Tuesday
night. His statement corroborates
that of Douglass up to the writing out
of the terms OF compromise. These
terms were the same in substance that
had been repeatedly proposed and
as often rejected by the Douglass
house By the terms of the conference
the pledge was extorted from the Re-
publicans and the Dunsmore house
members that the other house should
not be nterferred with. All this, and
this was all, the Populists had sought
to gain.

GOOD TIMES ARE COMING.

ing With Manufacturers.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3-R. G. Dun g.
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
The repeal of the purchasing clause
has done good already. In every part
of the country the tone of trade is
more confident. 1t is hardly time as
yet for the effect to be felt to any great
extent in manufactures, but bankers
are more liberal in accommodations
and merchants are more hopeful in
purchases. 1t is well to remember that
it has done less good than if passed
early last spring or without delay
after congress assembled. 1t cannot
now prevent the several thousand fail
ures which have already occurred nor
relieve the creditors from result
ing embarrassments. 1t cannot now
save from loss a multitude of man
ufacturing establishments which have
closed because the future seemed un-
certain. 1t will go far to restore bust
ness confidence, which was much need
ed, but many may expect from the
measure larger results than can at this
late day be realized. The action of
congress had less visible influence up.
on speculative markets for products in
part because foreign markets resolute.
ly refused to accept higher valuations
which spectators here tried to estab-
lish.
Though people across the wa
ter award unstinted praise to
those who secured the passage
of the repeal bill there is not much
disposition to pay higher prices on that
account for wheat or cotton. In view
of the great abundance of money at
speculative centers the weakness of the
market is more significant. Industries
could not be expected to show any ma
terial gain as yet, in consequence of no
financial conditions, but the demand
for textile products is to some extent
improved.

CAPETowN, Nov. 2.-Dispatches re.

ng to rally his troops in the vicinity
of Shangale river and Kwelo Loben-
gula seems to have fallen into com
plete trap, as further flight northward

in the rear is Fort Salisbury, on the
right flank and on the left flank Brit.
ish columns are advancing. Thus it i:
expected the king will be compelled to
surrender within q few days. Dis
patches report that on October 90 q
small body of British forces under
Captain White were guarding a body
of prisoners when the Matabeles made
a furious attack upon the guard. AT.
ter sharp engagement the Matabales
were driven off, but not until the
British lost several killed and wounded,
among the former being Captain Bur-
Diet, shot dead.
After the British columns crossed
Shangale river the advance was very
slow, but the Matabeles made no open
attack. Several war kraals were de-
stroyed. On Oct, 81 it was evidenced
that the Matabeles were preparing for
general battle. The attack was
made during the night but the British
forces were ready. The Matabeles.
estimated at 5000 strong, made des-
perate rush, attacking from all sides.
The Matabeles came forward like a
brick wall, showing admirable disci-
pline. The British allowed them to
advance until within easy range Of
their Martini rifles and Maxim guns,
when deadly fire was poured into
the Matabeles. Bullets were pouring
like water from hose into the natives,
moving them down like grass. Tney
broke and fled, still followed by lead
en- rain, leaving 500 killed and wound
ed on the field in addition to carrying
hundreds of wounded, while as many
more were able to stagger away in re
treat severely wounded, from which a
number of them have since died. Of
British two colonists were killed and
six wounded. After the battle the
British force spent some time burying
the dead and caring for the wounded,
after which the march toward Bulu-
wayo was continued and the road
found clear to the capitol, the Malta
bles being too disheartened to attempt
any further attack upon the British
forces.
