MoNTEvIDEo, Jan. 2.--It is reported in
this city that the Brazilian rebel, Ad-
miral Mello, has been seriously wounded
and will soon come here to have his in

fragment of a shell must have struck
him when the Aeuidaban was escaping
from the harbor of Rio and had to run
the gantlet of the loyal forts at the en-
trance.

Joined forces with the garrison there they
will together number $500 men, having,

that the siege of that town by the in

combats occur between the besieged and

THE POPE, WAITING FOR DEATH,
He Is Not Ill, but He Knows the End Ii
Not Far on.

He Is Not Ill. but He Knows the End Is
Not Far OF.
ROME, Jan. 1.-As there have been a
good many reports regarding the health
of the pope it may be einteresting to know
the truth, which is as follows: His holi-
ness, considering his age, is as well as can
be expected. He is, however, in what
has been described by himself state Of
resignation, caused by the feeling, ever
present before him, that the span of his
frail life can not be extended very much
longer He constantly refers to the prob
ability of his death with calmness and
serenity which are as remarkable as they
are beautiful.
1t will be placed on record in the his
tory of the world that the latter years
oof Leo Kills reign were passed in the
interested contemplation of the progress
of the Roman Catholic church in the
United States. This is in fact the DOM
mating interest of his closing years, and
he shows this in every way possible. He
takes the deepest interest in the progress
> of Mgr. Satolli's work.
His holiness has received portraits Of
ex-President Harrison and President
Cleveland, which pleased him very much.
On being shown later large photograph
of the American liberty bell, he scruti-
nized it, and after asking for some par
ticulars, said: Il notice they rang it 80
vigorously in the cause of liberty as to
crack it," referring to the we'll known
crack in the bell. At the Christmas GER
emony the pope looked singularly well.
His response to the address of the car
dinal was considered exceedingly happy
in its expression, During the past few
days the pope has been taking walks
daily in the Vatican gardens. His holli-
ness at present is engaged on an encycli-
cal on the subject of sacred music. He
recommends the study Gregorian music,
and exhorts the bishops and priests to ex-
clude from their churches music which
may have theatrical tunes.

The Ex-President Against an Income
Tax.
NEW YORK, Jan. IA morning pa
per says that ex-President Harrison, in
an interview on the income tax thus ex-
pressed himself
"The taxing Of incomes is an old meas
ure and has been always much dis
cussed question. Being direct tax its
force is Of course more keenly felt and
therefore more vigorously opposed. Tt
has always been argued against this sys-
tenn of taxation that it does not benefit
the people at large other than assistingin
defraying the expenses of the govern
ment, and is, Of course, on that account
inferior to other systems Of taxation.
There are many other objections also,

YELLOW JACK AT RIO
Z DREADED PLAGUE ADDS TO THE
HORRORS OF WAR.

The Government Doing All in Its Power
20 Prevent the Disease From Spreading.
Hampered by the Condition of the City,
Owing to the War in Progress.
BUENos AYREs, Dec. 29.-Very bad
news has reached here from Rio Janeiro.
1t is announced that the unfortunate city
which has for months past been suffering
from the rsvages of war is now victim
to the ravages of the worst and most
dreaded of all diseases, yellow fever, and
five deaths from this disease are already
reported. 1T "3
The news that yellow fever has added
its burden and horrors to the sufferings
already endured by the people of Rio
has caused widespread attention here and
much sympathy is expressed for the
plague and war-stricken inhabitants
1t is added, however, that the govern
ment is taking every precaution possible
under the circumstances to prevent a
spread of the disease; but the work of the
officials at Rio is greatly hampered by
the condition to which the city has been
reduced by the horrors of war.
The yellow fever, which has broken
cut in Rio Janeiro, is not the mild form
