Armacao and Ponta da Areia in the
vicinity of Nictheroy
Launches conveying the landing parties
left the island of Conceicao at 1880 n. m,
and succeeded in reaching the mainland
without discovery. Then in half an hour,
after heavy firing on both sides, the gov
eminent troops retired leaving five off

and 80 men killed At o'clock, re-en-

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-enforcements
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.
Short of Ammunition.
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 mum Der of the enemy.
The Liberdade's armed launches continued
to hold the troops while the insurgents
EN- barked 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

barked, after spiking the government bat

Both sides Lost Heavily.
The insurgent loss was five officers and
10 men killed, and ~ officers and 40 men
