FOUGHT IN EARNEST.
Government and Insurgent
Forces Meet.
MANY KILLED AND WOUNDED.
Admiral Da Cana Is Wounded, but
Not Seriously--Admiral DE Mello Is
Still at Desterro-The Fight Was "a
Very Bitter One.
Bu The Associated Press.

LONDON, Feb. 13 - The Times today
publishes the following dispatch:
Rio DE JANEIRo. Feb. at 5 o'clock
this morning 500 insurgents attacked
Armacao and Ponta da Areia in the
vicinity of Nictheroy.
Launches conveying the landing parties
left the island of Conceicao at $3.50 a. m,
and succeeded in reaching the mainland
without discovery. Then in half an hour,
after heavy firing on both sides, the gov
ernment troops retired. leaving five Off
GERS and 40 men prisontrs, and six officers
and so men killed. At o'clock, re-en-
forcements of over 1000 men arriving, the
government troops again advanced under
heavy fire of rifles and machine guns.
The Krupp battery, stationed on the
island of Caju, opposite Ponta da Areia,
was also engaged. Admiral da CANA
further attempted to check the advance
of the troops by calling for re- endorsements
of 100 men from the island of Conceiao,
and by sending armed launches from the
cruiser Liberdade, close to the shore of
the mainland. These efforts stopped the
advance. and caused heavy losses to the
government forces.
Then their ammunition fell short, their
fire slackened and the opposition gained
ground, After several hours fighting
the troops were within half mile of
Armacao and Admiral da Cana decided
to withdraw his sailors, finding it i'm
possible TO remain there, on account of the
overwhelming number of the enemy.
The Liberdade's armed launches continued
TO hold the troops while the insurgents
embarked at Armacao, the Aquidaban
covering their retreat.
The Liberdade's Launches were close to
Ponta da Areia and received the brunt
of the enemy's fire. 1t was IL o'clock
before the last of the insurgents EN-
barked. after spiking the government bat
terry of heavy guns at Armacao.
The Losses.
The insurgent loss was five officers aud
10 men killed, and 90 officers and 40 men
wounded
1t is impossible to obtain correct re-
turns, but the government is supposed to
have lost Is officers and $50 men killed
and many wounded.
Admiral da Cana has bullet wounds in
his neck and arm, but they are not dan
gerous. l, myself, was slightly wounded
in the throat by manlicher bullet. l
saw the first part of the action from the
island of Conceicao and the latter portion
on board the Liberdade.
Both sides displayed bravery. but the
sailors were demoralized at the firing by
the large number of the enemy and fired
widely. Still, the withdrawal was or
derly and without sign of panic. The
government claims decisive victory, and
today sent 800 men to reinforce the gar
rison of Nictheroy.
Admiral de Mello. with the Republica,
is now at Desterro.
