BuENos AYREs, Sept. 26.-An exciting
skirmish took place today in the outer
roads of this harbor between some tor
pedo boats which have joined the revo'
lutionists and vessels OF the Argentine
feet. The attack was made by the tor.
pedo boats, but the loyal men-of-war
we're prepared for it and not only beat
off the insurgent vessels, but later took
the offensive and captured the rebel
boats and crews. The fighting between
the two fleets was very sharp for tine
time and many were killed, including
several officers of the national guards
who have been mobilized and were
troopipg today in large numbers to the
various barracks. General Roca ia
directing the operations against the
rebels.
LATER-The commanders of the two
torpedo boats concerned ia the attack on
the government feet were instigated by
Colonel Espina. After the attack the
government authorities succeeded in ar
resting him and he will probably be
shot.
The government has asked congress
to take action againat Seflor Alem, who
is senator, on the charge of suborning
the army.
PELLIGRINI TAKEN PRISONER.
Ex-President Pelligrini. recently cap
tured by the insurgents, and who cam Q
near being shot, has again fallen into
their hands. It is said he will be tried
and executed.
The announcement that ex-Preeident
Pelligrini was captured by the rebels
and imprisoned at Tucuman by order of
the revolutionary junta, and, in danger
of being tried by a court-martial and
shot, caused an almost unprecedented
sensation here. The capture of Pelli-
grini may be said to have brought the
revolution to almost close, for he is
the chief supporter of President Pena,
who, 1t ia claimed. is little more than a
puppet in Pelligrini's hands.
THE REBELS CoEFIDENcE.
The insurgents have so much conf
dence in the success of their cause that
they havs already organized a provis-
ional government and received assur-.
ances of support from many sources.
The navy is said to be siding with the
insurgents and it is expected that at
any moment the resignation of Pena
will be announced. The friends OF
Pelligrini are doing their utmost to save
his life, but there is no doubt that he is
in great danger.
PELLIGRINI ON TOP.
New York, Sept. 26.-A Buenos Ayres
dispatch says: General Pelligrini, at
the head OF the government troops, re-
captured the city of Tucuman. Pelli.
grini and staff and 1900 infantry marched
to the building where the junta was
sitting. All the members were taken
prisoners and locked up under a strong
military guard.

HIS DAY OF RECKONING.
A BIG SENSATION IN RAILROAD
CIRCLES.
Treasurer Washburn of the Old Colony
Road Short in His Accounts.
He Used tho Funds to Spec.
ulate ia Stocks.

BosToN. Sept. 26.-At the regular
meeting of the stockholders of the Old
Colony Railroad company today, big
sensation was sprung when it was an
nounced that Treasurer John NJ. Wash
burn had been Incorporating the
funds OF the company. Washburn, it
was said, started several years ago to
take the company's money to speculate
with. He lost in speculations, and the
securities he bought we're turned into
the company's treasury as cash, at the
price Washburn paid for them. As they
shrunk in value during the past few
months, Washburn took more money,
and finally it could no longer be con-
cealed from the auditors. Last We'd
nesday Washburn left his Office, but did
/. not go home, and his family were much
worried. He came back next morning
in pitiable condition, saying he had
walked around all night. A doctor was
called in and he ordered him to 60 to
bed, where he has been con-
fined ever since. A full confession
was made by Washburn yesterday.
He resigned his position as treasurer
CT the company, and made an assign
ment of all his personal property to
the railroad to make up the deficiency
as far as possible. The bondsmen OF
the treasurer will also be called upon to
assist to make good the deficiency,
and the Old Colony officials claim the
defalcation will not effect the dividends
on the stock of the railroad. Wash
burn is 75 years old and has been treas
urer of the Old Colony road for 80 years,
and treasurer of the Old Colony steam
boat company almost from the time it
WAS started. He was also treasurer of
the Union Freight line. Whether these
concerns will lose anything is impossible
yet to say. Washburn owns fine res
idence on Beacon street. He is married
and has a daughter and son. There was
a rumor on the street today that the
amount of his defaleation was $125, 900,
but Counsel Benton said there was no
authority for any such statement. A
call at the home of Treasurer Wash
burn was without avail.
