NEW YORK, Sept. 14-The HeraId's cor
respondent at Buenos Ayres cables:
The rebel feet under Custotio Jose
Mello fulfilled its threat and opened fire
on the forts near Nictheroy Commanding
tie entrance to Rio Janeiro yesterday.
After BON harding the fort the guns of the
hostile feet consisting of the Aouidabap
Republica and Trajano, were turned on
the city. The arsenal was apparently the
main point of attack. and many shells
were thrown at IT.
The bombardment lasted from II o'clock
in the morning until o'clock in the after
noon, but little damage being caused
The ships opened fire on the city again to-
day, but The result was the same as yester-
days attack.
The message sent from President Peix-
oto to the Brazilian Minister here states
that 1t is expec ed that The rebel ships will
surrender in few days. Brazilian resi-
dents here, however, doubt this.
Surprise Is expressed here that the for
eign feet in the harbor would permit the
bombardment.
From other sources it is learned that the
city is quiet. The Brazilian Consuls here
and in Montevideo dispatch vessels freely
for Brazilian ports.

with the Secretary of the, Treasury.
Geary says he has 4 O further favors to
ask of the administration. and this is a
notice to his constituents that he has got
all the melons out of the Cleveland patch
that he can get away with.
Senator White says Geary and he are
now in the same fix. Geary said tonight:
Il have been trying my best to make fair
weather with the administration officials,
and now they can go to hell"
There was some talk in the sub-commit-
tee about repeating Geary's act entirely,
but it is not at all likely that this will be
done.

The insurgents ships are reported TO

gunboat AlIouez and as this message is
sent the insurgents are firing in the direc-
ton Of the arsenal with the expectation Of
blowing it up.
The guns on the AQuidaban thundered
forth at long range. for the rebel ships
were not foolish enough 10 engage the
forts and the latter replied to the fire of
ikf war vessels without apparent damage.
A. night there came a period of calm,
bostiities are expected to be resumed
" morning, unless some understanding
should be arrived at between the rebels and
the Government.
The people believe the rebel ships would
be only too glad TO put to sea, but the con-
tracted entrance to Rio Bay. with the
Sugar-loaf fort on the left and Fort Santa
Cruz on the right is a dangerous place for
them to attempt to pass. and they do not
care to take the risk.
The insurgents fired few shots at the
forts, but did not engage them in the true
sense. but the SOUNDS of firing reaching
the city caused some alarm among the in
haoitants. The loss of life so far as
known was only one. woman residing
near the arsenal, who was killed bV falling
bricks. Both sides seemed to know little
about the handling of modern ships artil-
1ery.
At the rate things are going the warships
will soon have to surrender for the lack of
ammunition and provisions.
Fort Lage was also treated to a few
shells by the rebels, but Fort Santa Cruz
was the object of most of the rebel atten-
tlon.
Fortelsza, village, did most of the re-
plying to the bombardment, and the at
tempted landing al Gamboa. but there is
no statement of the warships having suf-
fered any damage from shot or shell.
Rio itself was not bOmbarded. A few
stray shells fell in the city, the result of
bad marksma nship, but no great damage
was done. No doubt there are many peo-
pie on shore in sympathy with the insur-
gents, for the latter seem able to keep
posted concerning all doings ashore.
A few nights ago an attempt was made
by a small steamer, with some Government
army and navy officers on board. to Greer
up to the iro nclads at night. The tug had
torpedo boom rigged out ahead, and was
steering quietly up 10 the apparently sleep

searchlights was turned on, and. second
or so later, hail of machine-gun bullets
was flying. Happily for the torpedoists

THREE KINDS OF RUBIES.
The Oriental Is Most Valuable and Is of
 Arterial Blood Color.


 There are three kinds of rubies-the oriental ruby, the spinel ruby and the balas ruby. The first is the only true one, according to the Jewellers Review. The latter differ considerably in com parison from the first. The true is composed almost exclusively of alum ina In the latter are only seven-tcnths of alumina, the remainder being chiefly magnesia. The color, moreover, is due partially to the oxide of chromium, a substance of which the genuine ruby has not a trace. In commerce the balas ruby has much inferior value to the spinel. This is generally of a vivid poppy-red color; the balas is of violet rose, although Pcgu has furnished white and white violet spincls, and Sudcr- mania even bluish gray ones. It can be seen at once, therefore how extremely erroneous would be a classification of gems by color or general appearance alone. The primitive form of the spinel ruby is like that of the diamond, eight sided, which distinguishes it at once from the oriental stone. The color of the genuine ruby is that of arterial blood, or pigeons blood, as it is called. It is extremely hard and after the sap phire is the hardest of the corundums, which renders it difficult to understand why the earth so rarely gives it up. Its tint is as beautiful by artificial light as by day, and it's powers of refraction so great that ancient belief credited it with power of emitting light, The an cients even supposed that it would shine through clothing with undiminished power.
 The largest ruby known is one men, toned by Chardin as having been en- graved with the name of SheilI Sephy. Another noble ruby is in possession of the shah of Persia. Its weight is put at one hundred and seventy-five karats. A third, belonging to the king of Usapar, was cut into a hemispherical form, and in 1853 was bought for thir- teen thousand eight hundred and sixty six dollars. A ruby possessed by Gus tavus Adolphus, and presented to the czarina at the time of his journey to St. Petersburg, was the size of a small hens egg.

SOME QUEER FOOD.
The Tempting Hedgehog and the Bake
 Elephants Foot.

The Tempting Hedgehog and the Baked
 Elephants Foot.
 The hedgehog figures frequently in sylvan repasts, though he is hardly big enough to be sent to table as piece de resistance. The primitive manner of cooking it supersedcs the most costly refinements of elaborate batteries de cuisine.
 The elephants foot, or rather the slice below the pastern, which is n famous dainty in eastern hunting camps, is treated on precisely similar principles, which shows that the simplest cooking of all nations has much in common, like their folklore. Shakespeare's British hedgehog, like its cousin, the porcupine, is shrouded in a plastic tenement of clay. Then he is laid to a temporary rest in a bed of smoldering cindcrs.
 When supposed to be done to turn the dwarf pig is dug up, and then the prickly skin is detached with the split ting of the case of clay. All the generous juices, with tlscir bouquet, have been confined and transfused.

 Yesterday morning the sheriff re- ceiyed word that they were under ar rest at Globe. A short time after an other telegram was received here saying that they had been released on writ of hsbeas corpus. Sheriff Murphy immediately telegraphed the warrant for their arrest to Globe but at late hour last night had received no reply. There can hardly be a doubt though that the men are in custody and will soon come under the jurisdiction of the kangaroo court of the Maricopa county jai
 Gilman, the other partner, is badly broken up over the affair as he will have to stand the loss unless the money isreco vered. He is poor man but says te will make good the amount now owed by the firm by working by the day.

is much smaller than the lower one. Five short and nearly vertical passages connect these galleries with each other. When Mir. Mole enters his house from one of the tunnels he has first to get into the lower gallery, thence to ascend into the upper gallery and so descend into the chamber. However, there is another entrance to the chamber from below by passage which dips down. ward from the middle of the spherical room, then curving upward and finally opening into one of the bigger tunnels or highroads. Of these highroads there are seven or eight.
 lowing to the peculiar habits of the mole comparatively little is known about the animal and his ways. The use of this labyrinth and complicated system of tunnels, the latter usually extending over, or rather under, very great space of ground, is in some degree mystery. One object of the arrange ment is doubtless that the owner in case of alarm shall be able to make his escape, By the continual pressure of the animals fur the walls of the cham Der and passages are rendered smooth, hard and polished, so that the roof will not fall in even after the most severe storm. The mole can swim excellently and it often sinks wells for the purpose of obtaining water to drink. In fact, it possesses most varied accomplishments, and l consider that in point of ferocity, activity and voracity it is superior even to the great cats of the tropics"

HE'S IN AGAIN.
Billy Wilson Locked Up Yesterday for StabbIng Another Man.

IL turns out that great deal of legal sympathy was wasted when Billy Will son, the man sent up from Gila Bend for committing an assault with q deadly weapon, was released on writ of habeas corpus week ago. He was arrested yesterday afternoon by Mar sbsl Bankenship for stabbing a man early on Sunday morning in front of MCNsmara's saloon.
 WilsOn and man named John Me Graw were struggling on the sidewalk near the saloon. The only person who saw them was the bartender at Nc. Namara's, who thought they were Tn fun until McGraw was stabbed. Wilson suddenly disappeared and couldn't be found on Sunday. Marshal Blanken- ship picked him up yesterday near the scene of the stabbing. McGraw is not dangerously hurt. Wilson denies that he did it and says he can produce plenty oi witnesses to show that the cutting was done by someone else.
