upon to 20 down with her colors flying.

RIO DE JANEIRO. Jan. 1s.-It Ia re-
ported here that the rebels are now pre-
pairing FOR an attack in force upon
Nictheroy and Rio de Janeiro.
The insurgents to-day cut the cables
across Rio Bay and are, apparently. pre-
pairing for combined action.
I.ATER.--The rebels have made their
attack and It has resulted, from all that
is known as this despatch is sent, in an-
other fzsle.
Cobras Island. backed UP BY the uusn-t
abera, swift rebel launch. which has
already done good work for the insur-
gents and inflicted considerable damage
upon the Government troops. has been
bomharding the land batteries Of the
Government during the day, making q
great deal OF noise and consuming q
great deal OF good powder with very lit
tie effect.
The shots from the island and from
the launch knocked about some OF the
sandbag and cotton-bale breastworks
and killed a few OF the Government
troops. and In addition wounded few
others. But this seems to be all the
damage done by the fire from the island
and the Guanabera.
Admiral de Mello, on board the
Auuidaban, steamed towards Ponta Dc
Arsia, the shipyard, engine manufac-
tory and foundry town. near Nictheroy.
and opened fire upon 1t at long range.
The shelling does not seem to have
done very much damage. and was re-
piled to in lively manner by the Gov
| ernment batteries.
The Aquidaban then retired, and. II II
said. preparations we're continued for
an attack upon a more elaborate scale.
