TOBACCO CULTURE.

If Commissioner Marsdens ideas of
tobacco culture on these Islands should
be carried out, it would be well to i'm
port few expert tobacco growers from
abroad to put the industry on a proper
basis. There is much more to it than
the mere planting, growth and curing
OF the weed. 10 fact, a hundred
fancy touches" now enter tobacco
farming problems; such, for example,
as the discharge of a small cannon be-
tween the rows of plants when the lat.
ter have reached a certain stage Of
growth. The conclusion thereby pro.
duced kills the larvae of the tobacco in
sect pest and leaves the crop free from
blight at critical time in its develop
ment. There are other processes JUS
as curious, but which are based or

SOME of the smaller dailies in the
United States that feel politically bound
to criticise the Hawaiian Government
are making rueful spectacle Of them
selves. One of these, the Wilmington
(Del.) Star, announces that the new
press law here-which, by the way,
affects Annexationist as we'll as
Royalist prints-is an evidence of a
weak governmental hold upon public
sentiment. TO this sapient remark it
adds that the passage of the Arms and
Ammunition Act points to a similar
sad conclusion. This leaves US al
liberty to suppose that the measures
taken awhile ago in Chicago to fix the
responsibility for the management Of
anarchist newspapers and that to limit
the purchase of dynamite shows that
the Illinois government is also on its
last legs. And how about the seizure
of newspapers, the arrest of editors, and
the search for private arms in the
North during the Lincoln administra-
ton? Will the Star elucidate that
1t is a subject much nearer home.

Phenomenally Heavy Rainfall In the

Special to THE MoESrSo CALL

UKIAH, March 1S.-The mnnotouous
rainfall of the past twelve days shows no
evidence of ending. 1t is probably the most
damaging storm of the winter, and just now
in the midst of the Landing season the
sheepmen are the greatest sufferers. The
rainfall of the storm is inches, and for the
storm 80 20 inches. At Willis, fifteen miles
north, the rainfall for the season has been

SANTA Rosa, March IS. 1t has been
raining here almost constantly for the past
thirty-six hours, and the storm shows no
sign of abating. The rivers are steadily
rising, and if the storm does not cease with

WON THE BATTLE.
Brazilian Rebels Arc in
Possession
GOVERNMENT TROOPS ROUTED
The Victors Hold Rio Grande do Sui
and Prepare for Still Further
Advance.
Special to THE MoENISe CALL,

VALPARAISO. Chile, March 1S.-General
Tavarez. leader OF the revolution In Rio
Grande do Sui, Brazil, has routed and put
to flight the army OF 5000 men which the
Government OF Brazil sent against him IN
der the command of General Tellos. This
news was first telegraphed by a correSpon-
dent in Rio GTande do Sui and has Just
been confirmed from Rivera.
The battle was fought near Ypacaray, TO
which point General Tavarez retired when
the advance guard of General Tellos'
troops reached Santa Ana on Wednesday.
Tavarez' retreat was in reality a feint, by
which he led the enemy into a trap and
forced him to give battle on ground selected
by the leader of the revolutionary army.
When Tavarez fell back before the ad-
vance of Tellos' army, he made it appear
that he was trying to avoid an engagement.
His movement appears to have completely
deceived the Government commander. who
pushed his forces ON toward the position
taken by the revoIutionists.
The attack upon Tavarezs' army was made
yesterday morning.
In vain General Tellos tried to repel the
attack. His columns were soon shattered.
and in wavering ranks fell back under the
murderous fire of the revolutlonists.
The rout of the Government army was
complete, and it was a great victory for
Tavarez. Quickly dividing his forces he
sent one division 10 pursue the fleeing army
under General Tellos, while he started at
the head of the other on his march toward
Uruguayana. the proposed western termi-
nus OF the railroad which runs to Porto
Allegro.
q Uruguayana has been strongly defended
by an army under General Hipolito, and TO
capture it has been the design OF General
Tayarez from the beginning of the revOlu-
ton. This movement was partly aided by
the capture of Alegrete, an important
strategic point in the mountains on the rail-
road line between Cacequay and Uru-
guayana.
With a detachment of 500 men Colonel
PenR attacked the town. drove out the Gov
eminent garrison and took possession. A
division was sent by General Tavarez to at
tack the troops recently landed at Porto
Allegro, who are now marching toward the
seat of war.

BAIL FOR HEATH.
His Counsel Will Demand
His Release.
MERCHANT AND THE LADY.
A Fresno Business Man Who Knows
Much and Wont Tell, and the
Reason Why.
Special to THE MoRNINe CALL

FRESNO. March 1S.-To-day brought
forth no new developments in the Nc
Whittier case. RnmOr5 are as rife as ever,
but upon careful sitting they prove, in most
instances, to be without any foundation of
truth. The prosecution is receiving con-
siderable information daily, some of it be-
Ing quite sensational.
The statement is made that prominent
business man Of this city was visiting
lady not far from the McWhirter residence
on the night of the murder As he was
leaving the house by a rear gate he heard
the report of shots and saw a man running
toward him from an alley in the rear OF
McWhirteT's home. He stepped back in
the shadow and man ran past him in the
direction OF the business portion of the
town. He recognized the man as a we'll
known citizen here.
This business man was called on by per-
son who had heard of the story, but he de-
MED having made any statement of the
kind. The informant of the investigator
was asked to account for the business mans
denial OF the incident and that person ex-
planned that the prominent citizen in ques-
ton denied the story because he was afraid
he would be called as a witness and might
have to compromise the lady on whom he
called that night.
Heath will be arraigned Monday morning,
at which time the first struggle between the
prosecution and the counsel for the defense
will take place. Heath's counsel will ask
that he be admitted to bail, but the prose-
eution will fight the motion vigorously.
They expect to show good reason why
Heath should be refused bail.
Much curiosity is being expressed as to
what defense will be set mp. The belief is
general that whatever course may be deter
mined upon one thing that will be done is
TO put New hirter in as unfavorahle light
as possible. The impression prevails in
some quarters that counsel for the defend
ant may ask for a change Of venue to an
other county because of the unfavorable
sentiment so general against Heath. but the
latter's attorneys are not known to have
stated anything that could give rise to such
a supposition. The probability of such a
demand being made has occurred to the au-
thOrities, however.

this morning. They were met by Jerry
Mahoney. Mitchell and Hall took cab
and started for the Gedney House, and Ma
honey and friend took another. At the
hotel there was a telegram awaiting Mitchell
which read as follows: Squire died this
morning. Monk"
When Mitchell was asked If the Sauire's
death would affect the fight he replied that
it would not; that the Squire had given him
the money to bet, and If he won he was to
Keep it.
Mitchell began sending kilograms at once
about Baird's death. he appeared greatly
affected by the news. The first telegram
was to A. Monk, Sources valet at New
Orleans. 1t read: mo use coming to New
Orleans now" This referred to MitchelPs
plan of going by train there tomorrow.
He followed this message up with another
to Monk. 1t read: Have the Squire en-
balmed and brought to New York right
away. We can then catch the boat"
A third dispatch TO the same effect was
sent 10 w. E Bailey. Baird's secretary, who
Is in New Orleans, and another went to
GraVatic, London which is the cable ad-
dress of Baird's lawyers. 1t read I:
Squire Abingdon Baird died at New
Orleans this morning
Mitchell then spoke feelingly about his
friend. when 1 left New Orleans" he
said, 1.-THE squire was In bed. The doctors
advised me TO leave him, as he would get
better more quickly; SO l came 10 New
York. Before left however. told them
that if they would get the squire into shape
and in New York in time to catch the boat
for England Wednesday would give them
$1,000. 1 am greatly affected at my friends
death. He has been sufferer for some
time, and his constitution was run down."
1t is believed by many that Squire Abing-
don Baird's death may affect the Corbett-
Mitchell fight. The executors of his estate
may insist on Withdrawing the $40, 0O0stake
money, which the squire putup for Mitchell.
1t is not believed that Mitchell could get
anybody else to back him for that amount.
