TO INDIcT ANTI-CATHoLICs.
4 Test Case to Be Presented to the Grand
 Jury In Buffalo.

Jury In Buffalo.
 BUFFALO, Nov 14.-Seventy-five citizens of Buffalo lie under charges of conspiracy, which will be presented to the next grand jury when it meets on Nov. %. All of them are alleged to be members of the American Protective association, the anti Catholic secret society.
 The case will be in the nature of a test to obtain an opinion from the courts whether this society comes within the scope of a criminal conspiracy, and its literature under the ban of the law as matter tending to incite riot. The names of the defendants cannot be obtained at the present writing, but it is known that the proprietor of the newspaper printed as the organ of the American Protective associa- tion, several attorneys, merchants, bus' ness men, some civil officers and even a clergyman are on the list.
 It has been a difficult task to obtain these lists for prosecution, as each member subscribes on solemn oath never to divulge his own connection with the order or the name of any fellow member. The funda mental principle of the order is boldly expressed. IL is stated in the official litera- ture of the society in this language: As all Catholics hold a mental reservation in favor of the pope while swearing allegiance to the United States, these men should nOt Dt the gift of the American people"
 If it is possible, the graver crime of treason against the state will be proved, which offense is punishable by 10 years imprisonment. It is claimed that the American Protective association "prim- err the tracts entitled What Is Itf' and Read and Reflect" and the ritual of the order can be considered matter calcu lated to disturb the peace of the state and incite to riot the populace by appealing to social and religions prejudices and misrep- resenting the beliefs and principles Of . large body of eitiEens.

wilI Yield oply to Foroe.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14-At the Ea- waiian consulate, this city, no word was received by the steamer China which would throw further light on the situation at the islands. Consul Wilder stated to a re- porter that in case the administration should ask the provisional government to step down and out the request could not be granted, but that in case the use of force should be threatened the provisional government could have but one course to pursue. Resistance to the power of the United States would be useless, but it would protest with all its moral force against such a highhanded outrage. Should United States protectorate of the monarchy be withdrawn, that monarchy would not last day. Unquestionably the next revolution would not be as peaceable as the last, and the monarchy would surely be overthrown once and for all

INSURGENTS GAIN.
MeIIo's Proposal to Restore the Monarchy
 Wins Him Friends.

"lus nim FrtGmuA
 RIO JANEIRo, Nov. 14.-There was heavy firing on Sunday and Monday of last week by the government forts on Fort Vile gaignon. Int outside walls of the latter fort show much damage, but the interior of thu town is intact Two men were killed and seven wounded within the fort on Monday.
 The troops at Castello opened a musket " fire on Fort Villegaignon from a dis tance of 200 yards The insurgent war ship Aquidaban replied with machine guns, killing or wounding 12 soldiers and fou spectators. The firing continues day and night. and there is an immense waste of ammunition.
 On Wednesday two guns at Castello were fired at Fort Villegaignon, and the Aquidaban again replied with her machine guns.
 Many shells fell in the business portion of the city, and several persons were in. jured. This bombardment was, it is feared, the result of the action of the government in firing from the town in contravention oi the agreement made with the representa- tives of the foreign powers. There are con. tinual skirmishes at Nictheroy between the government troops and the insurgent small craft. 4 torpedo launch was sunk on Wednesday. The casualties have been slight. A conference was held last Tues. day between the insurgent leaders, which has changed the situation on the much dis cussed question of the restoration of the empire The conference resulted in de cision to shortly hoist the imperial flag. This decision created good impression. Admiral Saldanho de Gama, the chief of the naval college, who is the ablest admiral in Brazil, hitherto maintained a neutral position, but he has now openly joined the insurgents.
 He carries with him the sympathy ot many adherents in the army and navy who belong to leading families. Admiral de Cana has taken command of the operations before Rio Janeiro. The Aquidaban has proceeded to sea to search for the new gov ernment cruiser Aurora There are 8 900 armed and well drilled insurgents at Des- farrn

Te Increase the Go1d Reserrc.

WAsHINGToN, Nov. IA plan has just been perfected whereby the gold reserve of the treasury may be increased to its limit of SlO0, 900. This is to be accomplished by means of an understanding with the banks of New York whereby they are to increase the proportion of geld in their de- posits with the New York subtreasury to cover the certified checks that are present. ed by the importers in payment of customs duties. As the deficit in the gold reserve now is only S15, ,0O0, GOO and the associated banks of New York have on hand fully S9O, 900, 900, it is thought--that this scheme, which is result of the recent visit of the secretary to New York, will be carried through.
