BLOODSHED IN BRAZIL
Several Engagements in Which
the Rebels Were Successful.
An Island Taken, Forty of the Garri-
son Killed and Sixty Captured
Hospital Struck by Shells.

LONDON, Jan. 15.-Advices from Rio de
Janeiro say: The insurgent forces have
captured the island of Engenho, killing for
ty of the government garrison and taking
sixty prisoners. The insurgent war ship
Aquidaban has taken up station in front
Of the custom house and is making prepara-
tons for the landing of troops. The in
surgents in Rio Grande do Sui are burning
villages and are strangling all the prison
who fall in their hands.
Another dispatch says that government
troops last Thursday attempted to occupy
the Island of Boqueran, where there was a
large depot filled with rifles and ammuni-
ton. The insurgent force defeated the at
tempt and killed eight of the government
soldiers and wounded ten. They then re-
moved all the serviceable ammunition and
blew up the remainder
The government batteries at Nictheroy on
Saturday afternoon fired eight shells at the
insurgent hospital on the island of Enchad-
as. Five shells hit the building killing two
men in the hospital suffering from bad
wounds received in previous fighting. Ten
other men who were sick in the hospital died
from the shock resulting from the lombard
ment. The firing of the forts created a
panic In the hospital, and as soon as 1T was
realized that the building had been struck
the patients of two bad case wards rushed
out into the open square. The action of the
government in allowing a defenseless hos
pital TO be fired upon is censured on all
sides.
a later telegram from Rio, dated Jan. II,
says: THE insurgent cruiser Aquidaban,
forced her way over the bar early this
morning, entering the harbor at 4:30 o'clock.
Fort<, Santa Cruz, Sac Jaoa and Lage
openSI heavy fire upon the vessel, but
she fired only two broadsides, one of them
being directed at Sac Joao and the other
at Santa Cruz.
The engagement between the rebel YES
sci Guanabara, supported by the guns of
Cobras island, on Saturday last, when that
small war ship attacked the government
positions along the shore, was very hot
while it lasted. The Guanabara had the
best of the fight, running close in shore
and making very effective use of her guns,
which caused the government forces to re-
tire from their positions, leaving q num-
Der of dead and wounded behind them.
Peixotos officers, while the Guanabara was
within easy distance of the shore. sudden
ly made an attack upon her by means OF
a number of small boats filled with troops.
But this movement was unsuccessful, aS
the Guanabara opened such a deadly fire
Upor them that she easily beat off the
boarding parties and killed a number OF
the soldiers who manned the small craft
