HEMMED THEM IN.
Brazilian Rebels i'm a
Bad Box.
DRIVEN TO THE BORDER.
But Not Permitted by Uruguay
to Pass 1t.
THEY MUST SURRENDER OR DIE.
1t Is Hot Work Fighting at Rio,
but the Troops Bear
Up NobIy.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-The Herald has
received under date of Rio Janeiro, JAM
uary 10, the following from BrazlPs Min
ister of the Exterior: The Government
has received a telegram saying that the
rebel troops in Rio Grande do Sui are fee
ing from the siege of Bage and have been
driven by the pursuing loyal forces of
Brazil to the boundary OF Uruguay. The
Uruguay troops will not allow the fugi-
tives To enter their neutral territory, and
thus the rebels are badly hemmed in. The
inevitable result will be their surrender or
the slaughter of them all, as they are des-
titute of horses or provisions.
An attempt has been made by the rebel
feet in Rio harbor to land body of men
on the Nictheroy shore. but it met with
vigorous repulse from the Government
troops. Fighting in the intense heat
which now prevails here is extremely
difficult and severe upon men, hut our
forces maintain their positions with stead
fastness.
Marshal Neimger, one of Brazirs most
efficient officers, commands the Nicthroy
garrison.

CHIHUAHUA Is SAFE.
Rebels Not Yet i'm Possession of
the City.
Movements South of the Rio Grande
Give Rise TO All Sorts
of RumOrS.

Ell PAso, Tex, Jan. 19.-Great excite
ment was caused here this afternoon by
the publication in the Times of story
that the Mayor of Jaurez had received
dispatch announcing the capture of the city
of chihuahua by the rebels. The story
had it that the first attack was made by q de-
:achment of reyolutionists on the west side
of the town, which called the Federal gar
rson TO tina: part of the city. Immedi-
ately the insurgents rushed into the city on
the east. The masses of the people, being
in sympathy with Santana Berez there
was no resistance from that source and
soon the whole city was In possession of
the re bells.
Tonight it is stated that there was moth
ing at all ip the story and how such a ru-
NOR could have gained circulation does not
appear.
The story came TO a representative of
the Times, as stated, but the dispatch re-
ceived by the Mayor of Juarez was misun-
derstood, either by the reader of it or by
the man who reported it to the news
agent. The agitation in that city con-
t:nues and an attack is daily expected
Two trainloads of Federal troops from the
City Of Mexico arrived at Chihuahua this
evening.
DENVER. Jan. ia special to the
News from El PasO says: The revolu-
tionists attacked Chihuahua, Mexico,
yesterday at o'clock and the fighting
was kept up all night The fighting
began again this morning. and this after
noon the rebels made a general attack on
the west side. The rebels notified the
Mexican Central Railroad officials that
they would not molest regular traffic, but
this evening, just as passenger
train was about to leave Ciudad Juarez
for Chihuahua, the wires were cut south of
Juarez and the train backed into the yard.
Senator Marcelo Leon of JuareZ received
telegram at 9 p. NJ over the Federal wires
from Governor Ahumada at Chihuahua
saying that the Federal troops, assisted by
rurales, rerulsed the rebels this evening,
and that the fight ended in general rout
for the insurgents. No particulars are
given.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Senor Romero,
the Mexican Minister. has no advices re-
garding the reported capture of Chihuahua
by the rebels. but he says it is altogether
improbable, as chihuahua, as the capital
of its State, is strongly fortified, and there
is no force of men in Mexico which could
capture it.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. ia special from
chihuahua locates the rebels, who are re-
ported to have captured the town, eighty
miles away.

sold for "coiD," but they point out that
before this. in 1878, silver was demone-
tized. so that ii could not be included in
the meaning of the word ''coip."
Aside from the legality of the gold
clause the silver men say it is against pub
lie policy to make public dscrim;n alton
against one money metal now IN use and
that the effect of the Secretary's action is to
tend to send gold coin to premium and to
disturb the parity between gold and silver
coins.
Representative Tracy Cd of New Y ork,
VINO Is one of the anti-silver leaders of the
House. said: Secretary Carlisle wants no
more silver. for he already has in the
treasury much more than he wants. What
is needed is gold. 1t is fortunate. under
these circumstances, that the law allows
him to secure the particular metal he
wants While the bonds are payable in
gold vet in selling them the Secretary has
The authority to secure payment in any
class of coin he needs. as the express pur-
pose of that law was TO give a means of
meeting the needs of the treasury"
Some of the treasury officials have a
theory, which has been advanced several
times heretofore and which is said to be
shared by some of those who have hand
in directing the affairs of the department.
1t IS that there actually exists no fund that
can be properly termed the gold reserve"
| The so-called gold reserve" which was
created by Secretary Sherman under the
ACT of 1876, has been entirely wiped out by
the redemption of United States notes and
treasury notes. for which purpose it was
originally created. The REDEEM ptioD of
treasury notes alone, it is said. has been
sufficiently large to wipe out the gold re-
serve. and redemptiohs of United States
and treasury notes together. up TO re-
cent period. aggregated S149.000.000. This
vast amount of notes was not retired but
reissued. Ii this theory is ca rried to IT'S
! legitimate conclusion it is held that the
| Government has not been using the gold
reserve for the payment of current ex-
penditures, but has been freely drawing
on its stock of assets represented by gold.
| 1t is said that certain figures bearing out
the deductions above referred to have
been prepared for the use of Secretary
Carlisle and that he will shortly issue a
statement IN the subject.

a SILVER MEN PROTEST.
Carlisle Has Disseminated Against
the White Metal.

WASHINGTON, Jan. ia strong senti-
ment is expressed among the silver lead
ers of the House against the gold clause"
of Secretary CarisIe's notice of bond sale
Representative Bland 3D. of Missouri says
"The standard silver dollar is a full legal
tender, and it can be offered and must BE-
received in payment Tor these bonds. The
act under which the bonds are issued pro-
vIdes they shall be payable in coin. 1t
does not say in gold coin. At the passage
of the act the standard silver dollar was
full legal tender, and so it must be in
euded in the meaning of the word 'coin.' ,
Some anti. silver men take issue with
Bland on this point. They say the bonds
will be issued under the resumption act of
1875. which provides the bonds should be

AFRAID OF LYNChING.
A Wretch Who Begged the Officers
to Hasten Him to Jail.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa. Jan. I9.-Leon
Lozier. weli-known sprinter of this city,
attempted to assault little Madaline An
derson. the five-year-old daughter of Chris
Anderson. Lozier was caught in Omaha
to-day and placed in the Coun ty Jail. and
loud threats of lynching were heard.
When taken to Jail followed by an excited
crowd LoZier urged the officers to hasten
as he was afraid he would be lynched. He
denies the crime. but the evidence is strong
against him. A large crowd surrounded
the Jail where Lozier is confined, bent on
lynching him, and Sheriff Hazen made a
speech saying he would defend the pris-
oner with his life. The Dodge Light
Guards were called to the scene. and at a
late hour the mob was dispensing.

SOVEREIGN DETERMINED.
Will Fight Until the Last Bridge Has
Been CrOssed.i

DEs MONIES. Iowa. Jan. 19.-GeneraI
Master Workman Sovereign. when seen
by an Associated Press representative
here tonight regarding the proposed in
junction proceedings against Secretary
Carlisle, said:
1T may be a good deal like the mouse
tacking the lion. but we are going to
do it."
A petition praying for an injunction re-
strainng the Secretary of the Treasury
from issuing bonds in the sum of S50,O00.-
600. or in any other amount. Sovereign
said, would be drawn up here by Judge
Cole, sworn to by Sovereign, and
the United States Circuit Court Of
of the week. Tonight Sovereign sent
a dispatch to Senator Allen of Nebras ka,
asking him to make an argument in the
case before the court in Washington.
Sovereign and his attorneys deny TO Car
Isle authority to issue the bonds proposed,
claiming that there is nothing 10 the law
providing for reserve fund of 500, O0O, ,00O
There is no provision in law for any spe-
clal reserve as construed by the pre- ent
Government, and the fact that the Secre-
LdTy Ol lnc treasury lS OHeTlng Tor sale q
greater amount of bonds than the so.called
legal reserve indicates that he is not offer
ing them for the purpose of redemption.
and further shows that he has not offered
them for sale for any of the purposes speci-
fed in the law of January IA, 1875
; GAS matter OF fact" said Sovereign
further. IF they wish to stick to the tex,
of the legal reserve Sl00,0OO,O00. we insist
that there is now more than double the
present deficit in the treasury and the
amount is in silver. Again, IL they wish
to stick to the text of legal reserve oi
S100,000,000. we have them. for if the re-
serve. as they claim, was established by
law, then the Secretary of the Treasury
violated the law when he allowed encroach.
ments on the reserve"
Sovereign expressed fear that the case
would be thrown OUT of court. but was de.
termined to fight the matter until the las
bridge was crossed.

AVOIDS HIS MINISTER'S.
The King of Servia Seeking to Pre-
cipitate a Crisis.

LONDON, Jan. ia dispatch to the
Times from Vienna says: kilograms from
Belgrade, Servia, indicate that the crisis
in the Government is rapidly approaching
state of acuteness. The relations of the
Cabinet with the King are about as
strained as they possibly could be. The
King has absented himself from all Cabi-
net councils since the beginning of the
year, has countermanded the court ball
and avoids all ceremonies which are likely
to entail contact with his Ministers. 1t
was stated in Vienna last night that the
Cabinet would send request to the King
to preside at to-day's council meeting.
Special dispatches to the Standard ana
other papers confirm the rumors that
serious crisis exists In the Servian Gov
ernment. Ex-KiDg Milan left Paris last
night for Belgrade.

NEwY DIRK. Jan. .19.-The Herald's Monte

correspondent in Rio Janeiro sends word
that the rebels gained an important ad-
vantage On the night OF January 16 Ad-
miral Saldanha da CANA found out that
the Government contemplated an attack
on COnceicao Island, so he strengthened

badly surprised.
In the repulse they lost about 100 men to
twenty killed and wounded On the rebel

If Da Cana is able to hold the island, as
it is thought he will be. he can use the
rifed guns he captured from Peixoto at
Engenho WITH good advantage from this
poiuI. Mounted there. they viii command
the railroad line to Petropolis and the in
terror. and can destroy the Nctheroy gas
works, and rake with their fire the island
of Mocangue, also all the commanding
points 10 the vicinity.

services of General Ferraris, owing TO his
unsuccessful conduct of the recent attack
upon Engenho.
Several officers sailed from Rio on Janu.

General Master Workman"
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The dispatch
announcing a threatened injunction by
the Knights Of Labor against Secretary
Carlisle, TO restrain him from issuing
$4,000, 900 bonds, WAS taken 10 the Treas
ury Department this afternoon and shown
to the Secretary. Mr.. Carlisle declined to
say anything whatever on the subject for
publication, but other members of the de-
partment were not surprised on learning
the contents of the dispatch. The feeling
of the Knights of Labor and 0f labor
unions generally on the bond question is
known to be unfavorable, as shown by the
passage of resolutions against 1t. The
officials were a unit in the opinion that the
Secretary had nothing more than tenn
porary delay to fear from the Injunction
proceedings. and even this they did not
think in the least degree probable. They
believed that no delay would be oeca-
stoned by these threatened legal proceed
iBgs.' as even q temporary inlunctIon
doubtless would be denied.
The Populists of the House knew
nothing about an Injunction against the
bond Issue. Jerry Simpson says he will
have no hand in it, but will be glad If it is
true. Representative CulbeTson OF Texas,
chairman of the Judiciary Committee.
says there is no doubt of the power of
Secretary Carlisle to issue bonds for the
purposes of the resumption act. and the
general opinion among lawyers of the
House is that the proceeding would have
no standing in court.

The 800" Line.

A good many Minneapolis and st.
Paul people who have been sojourning
recently in the East have been afraid
to return to their homes by the regular
routes through Chicago, through lack of
confidence in the ability of the East and
West roads to send their trains through
without interference. The result has
therefore been that many have learned
for the first time what an excellent
route was opened to them to the sea-
board when local capital and nerve
built the 800" and made its connec-
ton with the Canadian Pacific. They
found route that was cool and free
from dust, and SO comfortable withal in
its unbroken continuity without change
of cars that they wondered they had
never patronized it before. The preva
lent i'll wind is certainly blowing som
good In the direction of this worthy
achievement of pluck and capital, and
it fully deserves all the good that blows
its way.-Minneapolis Times.
