FIGHTING AT RIO.
Insurgents Attack the Government
 Shore Forces.
NO GREAT BLOODSHED RESULTS.
Dn Cana Expecting RcinCorcements-He Denies a Monarchial Manifesto American Merccnaries Not
 Liked.

RIO DE JANIERO, Jan. 4, via MONTE ylpEo, Jan. S-Adm. da Gama still holds out, stating that he expects the Aouidaban and Republica with rein forcemcntS from the south. He appears confident of the ultimate result and re- ceived el2, ,O00 on Saturday from sym pathizers in order to pay his men.
 There has been some rain recently and the fighting has only been inter- mittent. A fleet of insurgent tugs commanded by Adm. da Gama, has been brought along shore several times in an attempt to drive back the government forces and land troops. though the insurgents fought with reckless bravery their efforts were in vain. They lost heavily, but did not gain even a foothold Desperate resistance was offered yesterday afternoon and last night to the government advances. Five insurgent steamers were engaged for hours. There was much noise but little blood flowed. It transpired that some men got ashore by way of the marine arsenal whose traitorous com mandent gave them permission to land
 The diplomats have refused to recog- nize the belligerent status of the in surgents, on the ground that the pro- visional government has not a sufficient standing.
 Adm. Chavas, the minister of marine, resigned his office on account of the difference of opinion with PeiXoto re- garding the Imprisonment and general treatment of the naval officers suspect ed of sympathy with the insurgents His successor, Adm. Meatto. is consid- cred honest, though he has no special ability.
 Public opinion compelled Adm. da Gama to issue the manifesto distributed on Saturday. The manifesto denied in these words the correctness of the in ference drawn from the Gama mon- archistic manifesto of a week ago: "Thc documents attributed to me were falsifed in the printed copies. With the victory of the revolution will come the establishment of civil republican government"
 An unsigned manifesto denouncing the employment of North American mercenaries on the government cruiser NictherOy has been distributed. The sentiment against Airing North Ameri- cans to serve on Brazilian vessels is very strong, even among friends of the government, and to this sentiment is due much of the trouble with the Nictheroy's crew. The recent dismiss sal of several North Americans was due probably to the popular prejudice which existed against them. The long shoremen left the bargcs used in coal ing the Nictheroy and joined the in surgents. The forcmen who are re- sponsible for the assertions have been obliged to bring them back or suffer the penalty of imprisonment. The Nictheroy is still in Pernambuco.
 An American naval surgeon who wis itcd the insurgeRt hospital on Euchadas island, learned that one to ten dead bodies were brought in daily. Surgeon Seinior, of the British warship Sirius, after securing tn approval of Capt William Lang, the senior British officer of the fleet, has taken his instruments and some supplies to Euchadas, and is attending the wounded.

An Actor Describes His Sensations While Thus Occupied.
 In the study and preparation of a part what q myriad of sensations and emotions the actor goes through; what elation and depression; what exalta- tion and despair he experiences be- tween the inception of role and its delivery to his public! at the first read ing of the play and his trying to ''see himself" in the part he is cast for, or at the rereading of the part when he has it in manuscript form. The emotion is only different in degree, as the part may be small one or a great one.

 When the part he has struggled and fought with, cajoled and mathematical by turns during the study of it, is pre- sented to his public, it is then complete, and finished thing with the rest of the play.

FIXING THE TARIFF.
The Ways and Means Committee Dec
 to Tax Income, in Excess of Si.OOt

The Ways and Means Committee Decides
 to Tax lncome' in Excess of SI,OOO. WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The advocates or the individual income tax proposi- tion were triumphant at the meeting Of the democratic members of the ways and means committee yesterday after noon.
 The eleven members were present when the final meeting was held at the treasury department at o'clock. But little time was wasted in discussion The ground had all been argued and fought over time and time again, and the issue was joined on two propositions, one to levy a tax of 2per cent. against individual incomes over S4,00O, and against the incomes from corporations (that is, the differ ence between the gross income and the operating expenses, or, in other words, the net income), and the proposition offered as substitute by Mir. Cochran, to tax the incomes from corporations 1 per cent and inheritances per cent, to place tax of 10 cents on whisky and to restore sugar to the dutiable list at Y cent per pound. The vote on Mr. Cockran's substitute proposi- tion, which was taken first, resulted in its defeat-7 to f.
 The original proposition was then submitted and carried by vote of 6 tc 3.
 It was also decided in connection with the latter proposition to increase the whisky tax 10 cents per gallon; that is, from 90 cents to S1, to be levied against whisky in as well as out of bond.
 Upon the representation that this in- crease would work undue hardship to the owners of whisky in bond, it was decided to extend the bonded period from three to eight years.
 The tax on playing cards at one time, fixed at cents per pack, was reduced to ? cents, and the contemplated tax on perfumes and cosmetics was discarded.
 No increase was made in the tax on cigars, but the increase on cigarettes, Sl per 1000, was allowed to stand.
 The committee estimated the tax on the incomes from corporations and in dividuals Corporations being treated as individuaisl will raise $50, 900, 900 revenue-Sl2, GOO, 900 from corporations and SIS, 900, 900 from individuals. The increase in the whisky tax. it is esti- mated, will give an additional revenue of Sl0, 0,00O,O 900 per annum. The pro posed tax on inheritances which was to be levied in case the proposition for an individual income tax failed was not deemed necessary.

STARTLING STORY.
Sensational RumOr That Minister Willis Is
 Concealed on the Corwi I

is
 Concealed on the CorwiI.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. S.-A story has gained currency that among those on board the Corwin is Minister Willis, who had been given his passports by the provisional government of Hawaii, and took the earliest opportunity to leave the scene of his fasco as diplomat. This story, like that afloat that the Corwn had prisoners on board, has but circumstantial foundation.
 Whether or not he is aboard, it is a fact that the captain of the Corwin, acting under orders received from Washington before sailing for Homo lulu, will hold no communication with this shore until after the arrival of the mail steamer next Tuesday. The reason for an order of that kind is not obvious to the laymen, and among naval officers is regarded more as bit of official tape of the reddest kind rather than necessity for the successful carrying out of any particu- lar kind. A number of attempts were made by influential men to get permis- sion to board the Corwin, but were made without success.
 HEARD IN WASHINGTON.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-There is wild rumor here which cannot be traced tC any reliable source that Min ster Willsi is aboard the Corwin and that he was given his passports by the provisional government of Hawaii. The rumor is received with no credence and the state department officials characterize it as a fabri cation.
