The Brazilian War.

NV ANElhO, Jan. ~, VIA 4hON iEfN i'ifci
Jan. 24-On the night of Jan. 10 the in
surgents recaptured Mocangue island,
with three small cannon and 100 prison
ers The killed and wounded numbers
fifty. The insurgents lost fourteen killed.
The insurgent warship Aquidaban
brought to Rio bay 600 men, who now
occupy Conceicao and Mocangue islands
An unsuccessful attempt to land at
Nictheroy was made by the insurgents on
Jan. 49, Government troops tried to re-
take Mocangue island on the night OF
Jan. II, but failed.
The friends of the insurgents are elated
over the recent successes of their side, ana
their contributions of gold are increasing.
Their mail carrier says that he has car
ried off from here total of one million
pounds sterling.
The steamer Wordsworth carried to
Pernambuco an agent of the insurgents,
who is to try to ship on the government
cruiser Nictheroy and then make an at
tempt to destroy her.
Admiral da Cana, in an interview with
representative of the United Press,
evaded the question when he was asked
why the Aquidaban and Republica had
not met the Nictheroy at Pernambuco'
He also refused to say why Admiral Mello
had not captured Para, Pernambuco and
Bahia, all defenceless, instead Of lying in
Paranagua bay.
A government official said that Presi-
dent Peixoto and Admiral da Gama had
agreed to submit their differences to
the United States for arbitration, but
that certain well-paid officers were trying
to prevent the agreement from being car
ried out. President PeiXoto expects that
the war will be ended by Jan. 25
There is now n large fleet of American
warships in the harbor. The object OF
their presence here, it is said, is to prevent
European interference in the settlement
of the matters in dispute between the
government and the insurgents
william and Bismarck.
BERLIN, Jan. 24-The announcement
that Prince Bismarck has promised to
visit Emperor William has caused SEN
sation here. Bismarck's friends in the
reichstag assert that the emperor was led
to invite Bismarck to Berlin by the recent
Mittnacht incident in the rcichstag. The
emperor's sense of uprightness, according
to Bismarck's friends, was shocked by
the public declaration that Prussia had
broken faith with Wurtemberg Herr
Won Kardorif already sees Bismarck re-
turning to power. Outside of the circle
of enemies of Chancellor Won Caprivi,
however, reconstruction of the cabinet,
with Bismarck behind the scene, is held
TO be impossible. The emperor declared
week ago that he fully stood by the
chancellor.
Both the press and the public are en-
crossed with the subject of Prince Bis
marcll's coming visit to Berlin. The
North German Gazette says that the in
tation to Bismarck was made entirely
ON the emperor's initiative.
The National Gazette rejoices at the
rapprochement between the emperor and
Bismarck, and that the nation generally
will be pleased.
The Berlin bourse was favorably af-
fected by the news of Bismarck's pro
posed visit.

| WAsHrNGToN, Jan. 22.-The United
| Press cable from Rio stating that Mello
had been deposed from the command of
the Brazilian insurgents and was on the
warship Republica as a private citizen
only, was shown to Minister Mendonca.
He said he had received no advicss con
cerninR the report, but stated that he had
no doubt it was true He had received
from Rio several days ago, as already
stated in these dispatches, news of the
failure of the insurgent land forces in the
south of Brazil to effect a junction with
Mello on the coast, and it was quite prob
able that the disappointment over this
failure had expended itself upon Mello,
although in the opinion of Senor Men
donca he was not to blame The land
forces simply could not reach the coast.
