Late AdviceS Show a Favorable Turn
for the Insurgents.
MoNTEvIDEo, April 9.-In accordance
with orders sent by General Saraiva to
the western and central districts of Rio
Grande, the entire Federalist army in
that State is now making forced marches
to Ciudad, Rio Grande and Porto Allegro
to operate with Admiral Mellos fleet.
The troops of General Saraiva. under
command of General Salgado and General
Laurenkito, are already besieging Porto
Allegro.
Castilha telegraphed President Peixoto
to-day that it was not probable that he
could make success of the resistance to
the insurgents. He has only one gunboat,
the CaDanea, and that is useless, the Ii
randes and Santos having left week ago
tor Rio Janeiro, via Artigas. Fort Bon,
at Rio Janeiro, did not respond to the
cannonade of the Republica and Aquida-
ban.
The torpedoes, which Castillo had
placed in the channel, were located and
removed by Admiral Mello's torpedo
boat Moreclar. before the fleet entered the
harbor.
There is great enthusiasm among the
Brazilian insurgents in this city. because
of the rebel successes. One of Mello's
agents predicts that General Saralva Will
return to Sac Paulo at the head OF 2,5OO
men, by the end of April.
The Brazilian Minister to Uruguay ad-
mits that the odds are in favor OF the cap
ture of Rio Grande by General Mello,
but he thinks President Peixoto has
taken advantage of Mello's absence to re-
capture Paranaga and Desterro.

TROUBLE ANTICIPATED AT RENO.
RENO New, April Captain Kelly
Of the Industrial Army passed through

he would hold the main division there or
at Salt Lake until their arrival. The regi-
ment here numbers eighty-two, and
many other recruits are still here. This
afternoon ITO of them paraded the streets,
led 10y bearer of the stars and stripes
and a drummer.
The railroad company having given
notice that it would not transport the
members Of the Industrial Army now
here for less than regular rates, the citi
Zens of Reno held mass meeting to con-
slider the situation. Resolutions were
adopted declaring that the assembling OF
large bodies of men, with the express
purpose of intimidating the legislative
branch OF our Government, IS menace
to the Nation at large; that it is the duty
of each community to deal with the
emergency in its incipency, instead of
passing it along in aggravated form to
neighboring communities; that the citi-
zens of Reno propose TO discharge their
duty as community, and stop the fur
ther congregation in Reno of the so-called
Industrial Army by legal process, and if
that fails, means efficient for the purpose
will be found.
The Sheriff was instructed to hand the
resolution to the industrial leaders, with
instructions that if these resolutions are
disregarded and the men are found here
after the departure of the train tonight,
the leaders will be arrested. The mill
tary company assembled, and deputies
were sworn in to enforce the order. The
army. eighty-five in number, refused to
disband and asked until tomorrow noon
TO get out. Their request was granted,
The Major of the army boarded the east
bound passenger train tonight for Wads
worth, and two men got seats on brake
beam. Others attempted to board the
train, but after backing down the track it
flew through the town at the rate of
sixty miles an hour, and they were left
behind. The industrials say they are
going East and do not intend to walk, SO
trouble is anticipated if they can not

south bound train No. l on the Rock

River, four miles south Of here, at II
o'clock last night, masked robber
jumped aboard the engine, which was
running slowly as usual on approaching
the bridge at this point, and leveled two
pistols at the engineers head, COM
manded him to stop the train. The engi-
neer at first made q show of resistance,
but the threatening attitude of the robber
overcame any desire he might have had
to guard the company's property. AS
soon as the train stopped several other
masked robbers, the actual number of
which is not known, made for the eX-
press car.
Jack Harmon, the Wells-Fargo eX-
press messenger. realized that an at
tempted robbery was being perpetrated,
and quickly picked up his revolvers and
stood at the car door ready to meet the
onslaught OF the bandits. When the lat
ter reached the car they and the messen-
ger commenced to parley as to whether
the door should be opened or not. Har-
mon finally positively declined to open
up. The robbers then placed stick of
dynamite under the car door and an ex-
posion which tore open the whole side
OF the car followed.
After the explosion the robbers ap-
preached the car, and as soon as they
were seen by Messenger. Harmon the lat
ter opened fire aud kill{d one of the rob-
bers instantly.
AS soon as the other robbers saw the
game was up, they attempted to retreat,
but Harmon followed them with con-
stant fusillade, and succeeded in wound
ing another of the gang. The injured
man fell in his tracks, but the others
managed to get away. 1t is thought,
however, that some of them have been
seriously wounded.
The trainmen then picked up the dead
and wounded robbers, and. after placing
them aboard the train. came to Bond
Creek. Up to late hour this (Tuesday)
morning, neither Of the men have been
identified. Some of the members are
supposed to be members of the Dalton
gang.
The Sheriff formed a posse and the
country is being secured.
While the express messenger would not
say whether or not there was any con-
siderable sum on the train, it is believed
here that the robbers had information

DUBLIN, April 8.-A political meeting
was held to-day at Neengah, county of
Tipperary. The speakers were Messrs.
Timothy Healy, John Dillon, Arthur
O'Connor and p. J. o. O'Brien, all of whom
are anti -Parnellite members of the House
OF Commons. a large audience was
present. Mr.. Healy said that with the
passage of the home rule bill IN the
House of Commons the Irish cause had
leaped back into the light. The Liberals
had kept their word in regard to home
rule ana he believed they would fulfill
their pledges in relation to a bill for the
relief of the evicted tenants i'll Ireland.
He regretted that the Government would
not agree to release the Irish political
prisoners. He thought the Government
ought to again appeal TO the electors in a
few months, when it was certain 1t would
get large majority.
O'Connor urged that the persons who
had grabbed farms from which tenants
had been evicted should be treated as
social lepers.
Dillon said he did not think a general
election was necessary. 1t was to the
interest of Irishmen to retard the hold
