A TERRIBLE SLAUGHTER.
Fate of the Revolution In Brasii Probn
bly, Settled.

bly, Settled.
The New York Herald, Valparaiso special
says: A battle which lasted six hours was
fought Saturday near uruguaysna, Rio
Grande do Sui, Brazil, In which 1000 govern
ment troops and 5000 insurgents were en-
gagged.
one story Gays that General Taverez, the
commander OF the insurgent forces, has put
the army under General Hippoyte to fight.
This story Is contrad!cted by one from
Buenos Ayres, which says that an apparently
reliable telegram from Montcvido glves tho
details OF an engagement saturday between
the government army and the insurgents near
Urugunyana.
Ten thousand men are reported to have
been engaged In tho battle, which WA n
hercely contested one and lasted six hours.
The government troops, numbering 1000,
were under the command Of Generals Hippo
lyte and Lima. Generals Taverez and Sal
cato led the 5000 men who fought for the
revolutionary cause. The combat began
about noon and lasted until nightfall.
Although the insurgents far exceeded the
government forces in numbers they were not
40 well equipped nor we'll disciplined.
As the night approached the revolutioni.ts
attempted to withdraw to a better position,
bu, the movement had been foreseen by the
commanders Of the government army, who
threw all their forces against the retreating
reyolutionists and turned the defeat into a
complete disaster.
General Tavarez led one wing of the re-
treating Insurgents toward Livrement, while
the other followed General Salgado in hur-
ried march toward Alegrete. Divisions of
the government army were ordered to pursue
the retreating forces. 1t is believed in
Buenos Ayrcs tina. the result Of this battle
settles the fate OF the revolution.

Two leading New York papers claim to
have all the facts in connection with q secret
meeting between Secretary Carlisle and New
York bankers last week. The World says the
secretary read the riot set to the bankers in q
very pleasant manner, charging that they had
set themselves up for months past to dictate
the financial policy of the government from
their point of view. He binted very strongly
that the bankers were working for a purpose
in not giving up some Of their share of $50
000, 900 in gold, and declared their policy
would not succeed, as no bonds would be
Issued.
The liberation of that $50, 900, 900 which
the bankers could spare without trouble,
would open many another private vault, and
soon the gold famine would be but memory.
The bankers gave no definite promise, but
since the formal announcement was made
that no bonds would be issued, there remains
no excuse for the New Workers keeping their
clutch on their gold, and that they will soon
turn over large sum.

The south-bsapd Missouri, Kansas & TeIas
passenger train No. 3, was held up at Pryor
Creek, Indian Territory, at $40 O'Clock on
the evening of the End, by six men supposed
70 be members Of the notorious Henry Starr

lion.
When the train stopped the robbers covered
the engineer, fireman, conductor and train
crew with Winchesters ard forced them to
leave the train. They were marched of some
distance and two men placed to guard them.
The other four men turned their attention to
the eIpress car. Here they failed to secure
anything, the plucky messenger refusing to
open his safe, although they had Winches
ter at his head and knife at his throat.
Abandoning the express car, the robbers
went through the passenger coaches. Ihey
stripped the passengers OF everything they
had and secured considerable amount In
money and valuables, but just how much can
not now be learned. Among the passengers
on board were President E. l.. Martin, OF the
Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf railroad, snd
a party of the officials, who mad just been
over their line on tour Of inspection. Great
excitement prevailed on the train and several
women tainted but as far as can be learned
no person was In any way injured. Before
the train arrived the robbers had bound and
gagged the station agent
After depositine 7ne money and valuables

The Now Gienwood Pool.

Work is going merrily forward on the new
pool, says the Araidnehe, and Mr., Hoover Is
using every effort to have it completed in time
for the opening OF the hotel The pool will
be five feet deep At one end, and slope gradu-

the surroundings will be beautifully fixed up.
Trees will be planted around the borders and
the lawn extended around down to the river.
1t is also proposed to construct An artificial
