BUENOs AYREs. Feb. 17.-Advices re-
ceived to-day from Rio state that the in
suIgent squadron has suspended lombard
ment.
FfVe thousand insurgents from the
southern part of Brazil have entered the
State of Sac Paulo and are marching iE the
direction of Rio. They have had several
skirmishes with the Government troops,
and in each instance have defeated them.
Peixoto has sent artillery, infantry and
volunteer companies to defend the frontier
OF the State of Rio de JaneiTo. The inhsb-
itants Of Rio are loudly demanding ces-
satiOn of hostilitIes and the restor alton of
peace.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE Herald's Rio
JaDeiro correspondent cables: The guns of
the rebel feet have been silent since the
recent fierce attack On Armacoa. The in
surgeDts' losses on that occasion were very
severe. including several of their promi-
nent officers.
President Peixoto is daily receiving tele-
grams from every part OF the republic
congratulating him OIL his victory ana the
loyalty of his patriotic troops. 1t Is gen.
orally expected that the Presidential elec-
ton in March next will result in a tri-
umph of republican ideas and restore
peace TO Brazil.
President Peixoto's most ardent adher-
ents now admit that the State of Pan.
anna is in the hands of the rebels. Admi-
raj Mello's expedition from Panama took
Caritaba and he has since been joined by
federalist lroopsa from the Rio do Sui
and Santa Catharna. This combined
force is now invadi G the State of Sac
Paulo and is sweeping back the scattering
forces which.the Government had guarding
the frontier.
These weak detachments make scarcely
any resistapce to the invaders. Already
two engagements have been fought There
ave also been six skirmishes and in every
instance the Government troops were de-
feated.
At present General Lapas' forces, with
bat sixty days rations, defend the from
tier. This force numbers but 1900 mea
aud it is expected that San Pedro de
Itarare W ill fall.
Alarmed at ihe news of insurgent sue.
cesses President PeiXOto ordered 121C
men, including the Thirty-sixth Cavalry
and the One Hundred and Sixty-eighth
Battalion of the National Guard, together
with the Twentieth Regiment of Sac Paulo
infantry and two artillery companies from
Rio, to start Immediately Tor the frontier
and re-enforce General Lapas' defending
forces. Two companies of local volunteers
will follow.
Notwithstanding the insurgent victories
the people of the State are not enthusiastic
and show no inclination TO fight. They
openly urge President Peixoto to com
promise with the enemy.

LONDON. Feb. 1.-THE arrest Of prom

night during their raid visited the apart
ments of this member and seized number
of his private letters. He at first made a
show OF being greatly indignant, but finally

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Leutenant ].

Movement to Change the Samoan

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE intmation
brought by the last Australian steamer
that a movement was on foot To change
the tTipartite agreement relative to Samoa
is news to officials at Washington. The
proposition mentioned Contemplated the
delegation to one of the three treaty pow
ers, the United States. Great Britain and
Germany, of the responsibility now di-
vided between them for the peaceful gov
ernment of the Samoan Islands. There
can be no doubt that the tripartte arrange
ment has never given particular satisfac-

NEW YORK THE LOSER
She Will Be Without a Justice
on the Supreme Bench.
Such Is President CIeveIand's Re-
venge for the Rejection of
Wheeler ii. Peckham.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE New York
delegation in Congress is moving quickly
as result of the rejection of Peckham for
the Supreme Court bench. and already
three prominent New York men are being
actively ranvassed. The New York dele
Cation does not want the recent discords
over Horn blower and Peckham to result
in sending the appointment outside OF
New York State, but it is known that the
President now considers the whole couu-
try open TO him from which TO select a
Justice. The names of the New Workers
being canvassed for the nomination are
Judge Herrick of Albany. Judge Cullen
OF Brooklyn, Judge of the State Supreme
Court, and Lacombe, one of the Federal
Court Judges in New York. In case the
appointment goes outside of New York
the name of Representative Wilson of
West Virginia is mentioned.
New YORK, Feb. 1.-THE Mail and Ex-
press Washington special says: The
President is being urged to nominate Sem
ator Gray in the place of Peckham, and
the fight, it is claimed. will be over in half
an hour. This would give Delaware a
chance to send Bayard back to the Senate
and give Cleveland the Enthusiastically
to Great Britain for New York, and thus
satisfy the Empire State. However,
Cleveland will not talk of the matter.
Many New Workers here still think the
President will nominate a New Yorker,
and the following list has been presented
to the President and has been "promi-
nently coEsidered": Judge E. Il. Lacombe
of the Circuit Court of New York, Justice
Z. NJ. Cullen Of Brooklyn. Justice Patter-
son of the Supreme Court Of New York.
Judge Rufus K. Peckham of the Court of
Appeals Of New York and Justice D. Cady

Naval Officers Sending Their Ships
Away From Rio.

NEW YORK. Feb. 17.-The Worlds Rio

small town outside the bay, twelve miles
from Rio, on the coast short distance
above Fort Santa Cruz. They have been
ordered there by Admiral Benham to
escape yellow fever Infection, for which
reason he sent the Newark and Detroit to
the Rio de la Plata. The cruiser San
Francisco alone of the United States
squadron now remains in the bay of Rio
de Janeiro.
1t is Bepham's intention to have three
cruisers left in this section to take turns
in watching the inside of Rio Bay, the
course of events and in giving protection
to American interests.
The American steamer Santuit, which
towed the Pirating. formerly the Destroy
er, from New York to Pernam buco.
arrived here last night. Captain Sturges,
her commander. on coming ashore in his
launch was pursued and fired upon by the
rebels. He had narrow escape from
capture.
Rio JANEIRo, Feb. 17.-There were for
ty-five deaths yesterday from yellow fever
and fifteen from other fevers. The United
States cruiser New York has gone to sea
suddenly. 1t is suspected she is tainted
with the fever. The Detroit left here a
week ago TO look into affairs at Santos,
Pisagua and Desterro. She had fever on
board.
There are only seven foreign warships
here and. little is doing. There is abso-
luteIy no truth in the sensational report
that onezof the rebel warships recently
fired on the steam chsbelonging to the
United States cruiser Newark,
The long inaction of the Nictheroy and
America was due Co lack of ammunition
for their guns and also to the fact that the
weakness of the Government forts at Rio
was such that these ships could not de-
pend upon them for protection In carrying
out the plan Of operations in Rio harbor.
The plan was therefore abandoned and
the two cruisers have been lying at Per-
pambuco and Batavia awaiting the ar
rival OF ammunition from New York. The
Nictheroy and America have now received
ammunition and are in good fighting trim.

POISONED THE PRIEST.
Tightening the Coils About a Doctor
of Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 17.-FOrmal applica-
ton will be made by the friends of par
ishioners of tie late Father Chowanici of
the Holy Rosary Church to Cardinal Glib
bOus on Monday, for the exh umation and
chemical analysis of the remains of Cho-
wanici, WHO died in May, 1892. This is
occaSioned by the developments in the
case OF DR.. Kremien. in jail on charge of
conspiracy and fraud in connection with
the probate of the will of John FORE,
alias Hanbuch. Chemist p. B. Wilson.
who at the instance of the Grand Jury has
discovered undOubted evidence of poison
in Forces stomach, which poison is al
legged to have been administered by DR..
KremieD, has reason to believe that the
sudden death of Father Chowanici, who
was attended by the doctor, was brought
about in the same way.
DIR. Kremien attended the Holy Rosary
Church, and when the split in the con-
gregation occurred took sides against the
dead priest. The coil around Kremien is
gradually being frightened by the detec-
tives. Marshal Frey has sent photographs
of Kremieu to Chicago, but has not re.
ceived reply as TO his connection with
poisoning cases which occurred while he
was there.
When Father Chowanici died ;t was
given out that it was a case of self-de-
struction. and il is TO disprove this that
his friends are now seeking evidence to
fasten his death on Kremien. States
Attorney Kerr announces that he has
evidence necessary to warrant formal
presentment for murder against Kremien,
and will Law il before the Grand Jury on
Monday.

CHANGED THE PRACTICE.
An Interesting Ruling Relating to
Mineral Land Claims.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-THE practice of
the General Land Office has been mater
tally changed by the Secretary of the In
terror. In the case of L. O'Farrall ct al.
against William L.. Hoget ct al. OF Helena
(Mont.) land district, on appeal from the
decision of the Land Commissioner, the
Secretary h holds each twenty-acre tract of
any placer claim must show the discovery
of minerals in order to obtain a mineral
patent. Whether the claim is surveyed or
unsurveyed makes no difference in the
rights of locators. Accordingly. the loca-
ton made on a larger amount of land is
void except for twenty acres immediately
surrounding 1t. This is reversal of the
action Of the land office.

PURSUIT OF THE OFFICERS.
The Train-Wreckers May Have
Changed Their Course.
HEADED FOR THE ANGEL CITY.
Rumor That Marshal Gard Has Cap
tured Two of the Desperate
MurdererS.

Los ANGELES, Feb 17.-It new seems
TO be the general belief that the Roscoe
robbers did not 60 in the direction Of Ven
tura. but made for Cahuenga Pass or the
Immediate vicinity. The reported finding
OF pole buggy at the river. whose occu-
pants had apparently abandoned it and
ridden away on horses, gives strength to
the theory. 1t is considered that it would
be much more likely that the robbers
would try to get into Los Angeles by un-
freQuented roads and be absorbed and their
Identity lost In the dense population, than
to flee across an open country twelve miles
before reaching the mountains toward
Ventura. They would be far more likely
TO be discovered on the latter route than if
they were in the city or trying to get here.
Ex-Chief of Police Darcy went out on
his own account yesterday over the hills
north of town and in the eountyg Just
north of Elysian Park. He was told at
the Dick Hunter and Smith places that
two men had been seen in that section
acting very suspiciously few days before
the fatal wreck and robbery. A man of
cowboy aspect appeared on horseback and
rode around through the willows at un-
frequented places and inquired about the
roads leading into Los Angeles. He ap-
Deared next day with a box in his posses
sion, which rested on his knee as he rode
on horseback. and the day before the
robbery was seen with another man in a
buggy driving out of a blind canyon.
Their movements were thought very
strange by people living in the neighbor-
hood and have given rise to the theory
that the men may have been the train-roD-
bers looking up their avenues of escape.
Manager S. A. Butler of the local Wells
Fargo Office was asked if any further news
had been received.
He said none, except rumor which had
failed to pan out. He could not say just
how much the robbers got. but was posi-
tive in his assertion that itwas not enough
in this case, as in the other Roscoe rob-
berry, to repay the robbers for their
trouble. He said the sum was really in
significant.

BLAKENEY WILL STAY.
Secretary Carlisle Has Never Con-
tempIated His Removal.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1T.-Upon his return
to Washington to-day Secretary Carlisle
was asked about the reported probable re-
moyal OF Superintendent Blakeney of the
life-saviDg service. Mr.. Carlisle said: 'If
such thing were contemplated / would
not be at liberty to make it public"
1t is learned from other officers OF the
department, however, thai Mr. Carlisle has
no intcntion of removing Blakeney. He
regards these positions as non-political.
and there are no charges against Blakeney
so far as Private Secretary Van Senden
and Logan Carlisle can ascertain.
