BERLIN. March 19.-The Kaiser had a
narrow escape yesterday afternoon during
thunderstorm, though none Of the morn
ing papers received reports Of the facts.
While asking the central office to call up
Caprivi the wire suddenly ceased to work.
The Kaiser Immediately ordered Motke

clu telred a pencil in her hand. When they
were sufficiently recovered the girls ex-
planned that in the midst of the En-
peror's message a brilliant light flashed
into the room and the switchboard emitted
sparks. The next moment they fell to the
floor.
a flash of lightning had fallen on one of
the wires and had been conducted into the

TAVAREZ ROUTED.
Rebel Triumph Turned to
Defeat.
DRIVEN ACROSS THE BORDER
A Brush Between Brazilian and Uru-

DRIVEN ACROSS THE BORDER
Special to The MoRNINs CALL

VALPARAISO. March 19.-The success
which General Tayarez won for the reyolu-
tionary cause in Rio Grande do Sui, Brazil,
Friday. was a shOlt-liyed one. While
flushed with victory Friday, Tavarez, who
then controlled the telegraph wires. sentout
graphic stories OF his success which reached
Rio Grande do Sui and Rivera. The wires
are now again in the control of the govern
ment and story has been sent out which
tells OF federal defeat following the Fed
eral victory, aud of good success on the
heels of the Government disaster.
The Herald's correspondent in Buenos
Ayres, where so much sympathy for the
revOlutioDists exists, who has unusual
means of getting at the exact facts, tele-
graphs the story of the sudden change in
the hostile armies in Rio Grande do Sui.
Tavaroz's victory on Friday was wrested
from the National Guards of Rio Grande do
Sui. organized by Governor Castillo. and,
now that the truth is known, was won
without much fighting.
None of the troops forwarded by the Gen
eral Government in Rio de Janeiro took
part in the engagement. These arrived
few hours after the defeat. Telles and
Tavarez found them soldiers of different
sort from those against whom his army had
been pitted.
Government troops appeared before Santa
Ana yesterday morning Without hesita-
tioR they attacked the town and routed the
TeyolutiOnists, who are reported to have
fed before them Ike sheep. The retreat,
once begun, was not ended until the Fed
eial soldiers had reached the frontier line
and crossed over into Uruguay.
Many of those who crossed into Uruguay
were captured and disarmed by UTuQuayau
troops stationed on the border. 1t is re-
ported that TaYareZ himself and other Fed
eral chiefs were 6lsarmed, but that part of
the story has not been confirmed Should
that report be confirmed the early collapse
OF the revolution may be expected.
The only real fighting of the day is re-
ported 10 have taken place between Bra
lillian and UruCuayan forces. A detach-
ment of General Portugars troops crossed
the UTuGuayan frontier in pursuit of some
Of tile fleeing revolutonists. They were
ordered back by the commander of body
of Uruguayaus. The reply of the Brazilian
commander was an order TO attack the
Uruguaysns. whom he charged with giving
shelter to the rebels who had crossed the
line. The fire was returned with interest,
and a Duu.ber Of men fell on each side.
In short time Colonel Garcia arrived at
the head of a body of re-enforcements for
the Uruguayans, and the combined forces
drove the Brazilians back across the
border.
Satisfaction has been demanded from
Brazil by the Uruguayans for this invasion
Of her soil. It is believed that further
trouble will grow out of this difficulty,
because the Uruguayans sympathize with
the Rio Grande do Sui rebels.

Ah 10y Shot to Death While He
Was Leaving Gambling
House.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

VIsALIA, March 19.-The hghbinder war
fare has spread to this city. One Mongol
has been slain. and the assassin will prob
ably never be captured.
a Chinaman by the name of All Loy was
assassinated in Chinatown on Friday night
about o'clock, and after lingering in agony
for about forty minutes breathed his last.
He was shot in the right side, Immediately
above the hip. and the ball made its exit
through the left side above the hip bone.
The ball passed almost through the center
OF the abdomen, and the wound was a fear
ful looking one.
1t was hard to learn any of the paIticu-
lars of the tragedy, as the Chinese main
tanned silence and refused TO talk. From
The best accounts the story is about as fol-
lows; 10y went into gambling-house on
Bridge street, between Main and Center,
and after watching the game a few minutes
went out of doors. just as he reached the
side the shot was fired that caused his
death. 1t is believed that the shot came
from the corner Of Bridge and Center
streets, about sixty feet from the gambling
house.
The report OF the pistol was an unusually
loud one, and was heard downtown. An
emplOye of Hayes Stable heard the shot,
and looking out of the door on the east end
of the place saw the Chnaman fall to the
ground. AS soou as 10y was shot he conf
menced to shout in Chinese for help. The
stableman noticed that all the lights along
the street were pu. out and the doors closed.
He rushed over TO tile Chinaman where he
was laying on the sidewalk. Not China
man came to his countryman's assistance
until crowd of Americans began to as
semble. Then they came out of their
novels. 10y talked in Chinese to the other
heathens and told them he did not know
who shot him, that is, the Chinese gathered
round him said he did.
10y was laid on some blankets on the
street aud Drs. Hall and Patterson were
summoned; but the Chinaman was beyond
human aid. He remained conscious for
some time, but he soon became unconscious
He understood what was said to him and
nodded his head several times. He grad
ually grew weaker, the death pallor spread
over his face and his hands clasped
A looking-gass was held before his face,
custom of some pagan significance. He
gazed steadily at the glass until he died, a
few minutes before Q o'clock. The body
was removed to Locey's undertaking par
lOrs, where the inquest will be held. Loy
was about 40 years of age, and lived IN
Chinese house Of HI-repute on the corner of
Bridge and Center streets. Last summer
he was employed as a cook with H. E. Per-
kins' thrashing crew. Since that time he
had been living in Chinatown. There has
been considerable fighting going on in China
town lately, but it is stated that 10y has
not been engaged in any broils. The iden-
tity Of the assassin will probably never be
known.
An inquest was held yesterday and the
Coroner's jury found that 10y met his death
by me ans OF a gunshot wound. inflicted by
some person or persons unknown to the

Dr.. Johannes MIGUEL, Prussian Minister of

ever, the wisest course would he to effect a
compromise with the present Reichstag and
