MYSTIC RACE TRACK, MEDFoRD ,Oct.20-
The eventual day on which Alix, 2:O3A,
the Queen, and, Directum, 2:05A, the
King, of the trotting world are to con-
test for supremacy dawned clear
and beautiful. Better weather
conditions could not have been
secured had the day been made to order.
There is no wind, and the bright October
sun Is very agreeable. II anything, the
conditions favor the queen. She loves
balmy day.
Directum was the favorite with the bet
ting men, the first pooling being at odds
OF 800 to sS5 in favor Of the stallion. The
ladies, however, were disposed to favor
the little bay.

Captured by Peixoto.

copyrighted, 1894. by Associated Press)
MONTEVIDEO. April l6.-As exclusive
" cabled to the Associated Press Sat
urdey afternoon, the rebellion of Admiral
De Mello against the Government OF
President Pelxoto has completely c'l-
lapsed. and the capture of the rebel
admiral by the fleet of President Peixoto
is looked upon here as being only ques-
ton Of a few hours.
Admiral De Mello, after sustaining Il
severe defeat at Rio Grande city. losing
from four to five hundred men, succeed
ed I'm putting TO sea with the Republica
and transports. and attempted TO make
a landing in the department Of Rocha,
Uruguay intending 10 surrender his whole
force to the Uruguayan authorities, but
at the last moment a disagreement took
Mace between the rebel admiral and Gen
Saleado. and the latter, accompanied by
400 unarmed. sick, and wounded and al
most starving men, landed upon the
I'ruguayan territory and rendered their
submission to the Uruguayan authorities.
This led to the report that Admiral De
Mello had himself surrendered TO the
authorities Of Uruguay, as Gen. saigado
was for some time mistaken for the
leader Of the rebellion. who, however,
elected 10 remain on board the insurgent
Warship Republica.
