VICTORY FOR INSURGENTS.

They Maintained n Heavy Fire with
Rides and Machine Guns on the
shore Front-An Business at Rio IL
Suspended.
NEW YoRK, Dec. 20.-A dispatch from
Rio, dated December Is, and forwarded
via. Montevideo, says:
Since the sending of my last dispatch
the insurgents have maintained q heavy
fire with rifles and machine guns on the
shore front. They have driven the troops
from the custom house and largo de POGO
and other points. Consequently all the
tioslly stopped. The heavy artillery fire
continues. On Thursday afternoon when
the garrison of Villegaignon was dining q
shell from ten-tnch Armstrong In Sac Joso
penetrated the easements, killing five men
and severely wounding nine. On Friday
five men were wounded at Villegaignon.
On Thursday the government troops at
tempted to retake Governado. The insur-
gents allowed the invading force, which
consisted of 1000 infantry and some artil-
lery under General Telles, to land then
surrounded them and cut of their retreat.
II is thought probable that they will sur
render. In diminishing with the troops
on the shore fronts during the past week
the insurgents have lost FIVE killed and
fifteen wounded. The government losses
are estimated ct 100.
Under the sub-head Later" the Times
correspondent says:
General Telles has attacked the insur-
gent forces on Governsdo. Admiral De
CANA with two hundred men and four
field guns repealed the attack, killing many
men and wounding Tellss. The insur-
gents' losses were seven wounded

Deputies in the Roman Chamber De-
mand Proofs From Crispi for His
Dismissal of Signor RataxKi.
ROME, Dec. 20.-In the chamber to-day
Signor Matteo Imbriani, the well known
radical and irredentist, demanded that
Prime Minister Crispi give energetic proof
of his intentions by the immediate dismis-
sci of signor RstazEl, comptroller of the
royal household, who 1t is charged was one
of the chief authors of the bank corrup-

Gross Irregularities Have Been Dis

House-The Work Of Gross Negli.
Gence, or Worse, on the Part OF the
Custom House OMcials-Fraudul ent
Returns on Tobacco Importatfons
Have Been Going On for Ten
Years.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Gross irregular
tiles amounting to millions of dollars are
stated to have been discovered in the New
York custom house by special agent of
the treasury department recently detailed
to make an investigation. His report,
which is elaborate as to detail, has been
laid before Secretary Carlisle and was to-
day the subject of several hours discussion
between him and Assistant Secretary Ham
lin, in charge of customs matters In the
treasury department.
The report refers principally to irregu-
larities in tobacco refunds. The amount
involved is stated as high as 81 ,000, 900 and
gross negligence, or worse, is charged
against New York custom house off eials.
The period covered by the alleged frsudu-
lent refunds on tobacco importations is
from 1883 to the present time.
The principles laid down in the case of
United States versus Schlessing as to to-
bacco refunds have been the basis on which
all proper refunds have been made. These
principles have been departed from and re-
funds allowed illegally and wrongfully.
While the rapport deals specifically with
tobacco refunds 1t also touches upon re-
funds made in the hat trimmings cases
where, 1t is alleged, refunds amounting to
many hundreds thousand dollars have
been illegally and connivingly made
These cases have recently been the subject
of correspondence between the treasury
department and Collector Klbreth and
UHited States District Attorney Mitchell of
New York. The matter Is deemed of ut
most Importance in the treasury and close
reticence has been observed.
Secretary Carlisle and Assistant Score
tary Rsmlin late this evening declined to
discuss the matter, but 1t is asserted by
others at the treasury department that
there will be an immediate and general
shske-up of the officials of the New York
custom house.

a eHAsTLY FIND.
Boys Playing Discover Human Skull
Chickens Pecking 1t.

In the rear of the Haynes property,
just east of the fair grounds, some boys
while playing yesterday noticed queer
shaped object which the chickens were
pecking at, land a closer examination
showed it to be human skull. They
buried it, and Coroner Eastwood, hear
ing of it, today had it again removed.
1t is a small skull, apparently that of
girl, or small woman. Some hair still
adheres to it, which is of fine texture,
and of chestnut brown color. Most of
the teeth are missing, but only one
shows any decay, the others having
been loosened since it was buried. A
round hole in the front portion of the
occipital bone near the fissure was most
likely made by bullet, and is about
the size of 32-caliber ball. The opin-
ion of DIR. Doane was that it might
have lain in the ground twenty years,
and nothing can be proven to the con-
trarY unless it is cleaned of the dirt with
which it is now covered and the interior
of the skull examined. Nothing is
known of how it came to be in the place
it was found and there is no basis for
any conjecture that it was foul play.

QUEEN LlLIuokALANrs PLIGHT

In Searching for Her Late Husbands Rel
atives She Found Another wife.
Several years ago a Dalmatian sail
or named Jerlzo Dominis, after in
Vulnerable adventures, hairbreadth es-
capes and feats of valor, found his way.
TO the Hawaiian islands, where he mar
ried Liliuokalani, the daughter of
native chief, who in due time became
queen, making him the partalxer of the
honors of royalty. As king he bore the
name of Hermann I. For twenty years,
says the London Telegraph, he gov
erned his subjects satisfactorily, and
toward the end of 1891 he died. His
son, Hermann IL, is only six years old,
and his widow is the regent Now,
this. lady, knowing that her late spouse
was a European, has been making
strenuous endeavors to discover his
relatives, and whenever ship touched
at the port she always made it point
to go on board and question the cap
tain as to whether he knew of any
Dominis, of Dalmatia. For a long time
the widowed queens endeavors to find
King Hermann's relatives were unSuc-
cessful, but lately the imperial Aus
trian corvet Fasana touched at the Sand
wich islands and the dowager queen
whether he could tell her anything
of the Dominis family, of Dalmatia.
He answered in the negative, but, no.
ticing the lady's desire to learn some
thing about them, promised to make in
quiries in the marine department of
the war ministry. The latter was then
referred to the foreign Office, which
published an advertisement calling
upon all the Dominis of Dalmatia to
come forward, whereupon there was p
repetition of what occurred when the
American spiritualistic medium called
for the spirit of Smith. Thousands of
Dominis are said to have reported them
selves, personally or by letter, for the
name is very common one in those
parts. King Hermann's. sister was,
however, discovered among them, as
was also his lawful wife; for it appears
that the late king married in Delmatia
when only sailor This woman now
demands that the Hungarian govern
ment should help her to her rights.
She does not seek to become queen of
the Hawaiian islands, but she asks to
be declared the legitimate heir to her
husbands property. Should the Hun
garlan government refuse her its help,
the energetic widow is determined to
set out for Honolulu and appeal direct
ly to her successful rival, Queen Lii
uokalani, the widow of her own hus-
band.
