The Brazilian Revolution.

- The war in Brazil still RACES, with
little advantage to either side, except
ing that Peixoto has thus far sue
ceeded in repulsing the rebels in all
their efforts to make landing in the
harbor of Rio. Several sorties have
been made in the past two weeks with
severe loss to both combatants. The
splendid fort, Victheray, in Rio har-
Dor has been bombarded till it is now
little less than a ruin, although its
armament is still good and it keeps
up the fire on the rebel fleet and forts.
On December LIST MellO succeeded in
escaping from the harbor with his
flagship after hot engagement. He
has been shut in for months and his
other vessels are still in the trap. 1t
is thought that he proposes to meet
the warships of PeiXoto that are now
on the way to give him battle. Some
of the new Government vessels are
very formidable, and when they come
into an engagement the first oppor-
tunity will be afforded to test the dy-
Mantle cruiser in actual war. In adj
dition to this there is Erricson's
famous monitor, Destroyer, which is
about to start south in company with
the dynamite cruiser. A hot conflict
is expected and the chances are
against the rebels. The Government
forces on the 14th succeeded in setting
fire to one of the rebel gunboats in the
harbor, but the patriots were shelled
and driven away before they could
finish their work. The Destroyer car
ries two tons of gun cotton for use in
the dynamite gun, which is fired I'M
der water and is calculated to sink
vessel with one shot.
The Brazilian cruiser America,
which left New York for Rio on De-
cember 1, was disabled off the Barba-
does by some traitor, who broke one
of the principal valves of her engine.
She will be delayed long time.
Cost OF Trans Pacific Cable.
A dispatch from Montreal dated the
18th says: The new proposal of San
ford Fleming for a Trans-Pacific
cable, which he intends submitting
to the Canadian and Australian Gov
ernments, contains four alternate
routes, all of which have Vancouver
as the Canadian terminus. The length
of the shortest route, including
branches, Will be 6264, and the long
est 1924 nautical miles. The cost of
the former is estimated at e1,3S0,0 900
and the latter at 81, 325, 900. The pro-
posed rate of , shillings a word for
transmission over the new cable
would reduce the rate between Aus
tralia and England to IS. Sd. a word
instead OF Is. Cd, as at present.
Assuming the fixed charge to be
el44,S5O a year and the cable COM
pleted in 1887, Fleming estimates a
deficiency of $4,000, COO 900 and
eS000 for 1897, 1895 and 1899, respect-
lively. The fourth year there would
be surplus of $1,000, which will be
increased gradually to eco, 900 in 1906
These figures also include provision
for .extinguishing the subsidies now
paid.

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-Captain Black
of the steamer Hogarth, which arrived
this morning from Santos, brings a story
of "man's inhumanity TO man" which
is most heartrending.
Captain Black states that while at
Santos, September I'd, he was informed
that the Italian steamer Vincenzo Florio,
from Genoa, August Gath, for Rio ia
metro, loaded with immigrants, and
which had been refused admission to the
porte of Brazil owing to cholera aboard,
had for some days been lying outside
the harbor of Santos in helpless con.
dition. The deaths ON board the plague
stricken steamer were reported to be
from 20 to 80 daily, and the bodies of
the unfortunate victims, together with
their clothing and bedding were thrown
overheard and washed ashore near San
tos to the great CONSERVATION of the in.
habitants of that vicinity.
II was supposed that the unfortunate
steamer was without medical assistance
or supplies, and had insufficient provis-
ions or coal to proceed further. The
steamer had previously been refused
permission to land at Rio Janeiro, the
port to which she was bound, and at
the island of Ilha Grands, 6s miles
southwest of Rio, she had been not only
refused permission to land, but had
been ordered to put to sea without de-
lay. The steamer then proceeded to
Santos, where she was also refused per-
mission to enter the port

wsccacoe Engine House Damaged by
Flames Early Yesterday Morning.
Fire damaged Weccacoe engine house
to the extent of $500 yesterday morn
ing. The confagration was discovered
by M. L. Conway, the president of
Weccacoe Fire Company, who had been
serving as driver and was occupying
the drivers room. He was awakened by
the noise of the flames. When he awoke
the apartment was almost filled with fire
and smoke and his escape from death
was miraculous.
The fire alarm was promptly sounded
and soon thereafter several streams were
playing upon the flames. A second
alarm was sent in for the purpose of
calling out the Delaware, the use Of
ladders being deemed necessary.
The flames were slbdued after a
desperate effort. They burned a large
hole in the ceiling of the drivers room,
spoiled fine oil painting, damaged a
piano and considerably burned the
tower of the building.
Last Tuesday the company drilled for
the firemen's parade, and the SUPPOSE
ton is that the fire resulted from some-
body casting lighted cigar in wooden
cnspadore filed with sawdust.
The company bad been carrying in
surance, but unfortunately it expired a
few days ago and had not been renewed.

ANARCHISTS ARRESTED.

A Clue Given by QuarreIs Between the
Anarchists and Socialists, Over the Re-

siOns--- A Number of Deadly bombs

cited Over the Disclosures.
VIENNA, Sept. 25.-The arrest. Saturday,

yesterday, of IS members of secret so.
ciety at Bruenn, the capital of Moravia,
has revealed the existence of widespread
Anarchist plot. To-day seven more MEM
bers of the gang were taken into custody.
The proof against all the persons arrested
is said to be overwhelming. and all are
known to be Anarchists of the worst type.
Among the mass OF papers seized were
documents showing beyond a doubt that
the members of the club were affiliated
with Bohemian secret society known as
the "Omladina."
manufacturer of bombs, who lives in
Prague, and an Anarchist named Stulka,
who is well known to the police. Stulka
is a skilful mechanic.
In addition to the papers seized the
police took possession of q number of
bombs. Some of these were made Of tin.
An examination Of their contents revealed
that they were charged with ecrasite and
picric acid. A large, ,hnely.inished steel
bomb was also found. This contained a
liquid that has not been analysed. An
oblong tin box was found, the contents of
which were apparently intended to have
been exploded by electricity. Conducting
wires were attached to the box, which con-
tanned several glass plates and small guam
titles of ecrasite and picric acid.
The police declare that the conspiracy
| they have unearthed is the most formida-
BILE plot the Anarchists have ever con-
cocted in Vienna. Every one of the men
arrested had in his possession bombs or
cartridges that were ready for use. The
discovery has caused much excitement in
official circles.
The police are searching in every direc-
ton for other members of the gang. It is
believed. however, that the many arrests
made have effectually put an end to the
operations of the conspirators.

LONDON, Sept. 27,--A special dispatch
to the Times, from Bangkok says that
the situation growing out of the Franco
Siamese dispute is again strained owing
to the dictatorial attitude of NJ. lie Myre
de Villiers, the French special envoy.
The dispatch adds that in reply to a
question from Prince DevawoDgse,
Siamese minister of foreign. affairs, that
he make in writing whatever modlfica-
tons he had to suggest in the draft of
the convention submitted to him by
Siam, M. de Villlers sent curt and
insolent note that offended the Siamese
government. M. de Villiers is evidently
determined to force further concessions
from the Siamese. He is attempting to
make Siam answerable for the delays in
the negotiations; which, as matter OF
fact, are due entirely TO his persistent
concealment of Frances intentions.
