The City Under Fire.

BUENos AYREs, Sept. 15.-The rebel fleet, under Custotio Jose Mello, fulfilled his threat and opened fire on the forts near Nictheroy commanding the entrance to Rio Janeiro. After bombarding the forts the guns of the hostile fleet, the Aquidaban, the Republica and the Trajano, were turned on the city. The arsenal was apparently the main point of attack, and many shells were thrown at 1t.
 The bombardment of the city of Rio lasted from Il o'clock in the morning until 5 o'clock in the afternoon, but little dam age was caused. The ships opened fire on the city again yesterday, but the result was the same us that of the first attack.
 A message sent from President Peixoto to the Brazilian minister here states that it is expected that the rebel ships will sur render In few days. Brazilian residents here, however, doubt this. Surprise is ex- pressed here that the foreign fleet in the harbor would permit the bombardment of the city. From other sources 1t is learned that the city is quiet. Brazilian consuls here and in Montevideo dispatch vessels freely for Brazilian ports. Their opera nons after arriving at Rio are carried on under the protection of warships of the nationality of the flags they fly.

 Photographic service is still suspended.
 It is reported that perfect order was main tained in the city during the bombardment. There was much enthusiasm manifested by Peixoto's forces, who still remain loyal to him.
 The warship Tiradentes, which still re- mains loyal, has put to sea- It is expected she will meet the armed merchant steamer Itacoa, which was to aid the rebel fleet. If the two vessels meet, desperate fight is inevitable.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-American inter ests in Brazil are absolutely unprotected, unless the presence of the United States minister at Rio can be considered as pro tection to them. It will be from four days to . week before the cruiser Charleston can reach Rio from Montevideo, for, while the distance is only 1,0S0 miles, the vessel will be obliged to coal before starting, and coal ing is something not easily accomplished at the latter port.

THE STRIP OPENED.
MANY THOUSANDS OF BOOMERS RUSH
 FOR HOMES.
After Suffering For Weeks From Heat and the Inconveniences of. the Registration System the Homeseekers Enter MadIy Into the Race.

ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, Sept. 18.-Pre- Eisely at noon today 5000, 900 acres of land known as the Cherokee strip, the largest body of purely agricultural land on the American continent that was up to now unsettled and uncultivated, was thrown open to settlement under the homestead laws. By nightfall of this eventful day 100, 900 people will have found homes upon that land.
 The race of the boomers was such a one as will never be witnessed again probably, and the results in the record of expected bloodshed are soon to come.
 A conservative estimate of the number of people who will be within the border of the Cherokee strip tonight is 300,00O
 Most of those in the race are making the run for town lots, and the great objective point is the government county seat and land office of Terry. 10 miles north of the Oklahoma line. The town site covers an area of 320 acres, which has been cut into nine lots to the acre, making 2,880 lots to be divided among the 20 900 people who will crowd in there as soon as possible. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad ran three trains of 10 coaches each south from this point and two trains of 10 coaches each north from Orlando.
