the Aquidaban and the forts. followed by
an attack by the rebel fleet, and the
batteries In their position, upon the shore

fight took place in Santa Anna anil
POnta Da Arena. All the fighting, how
ever, only resulted In the killing Of four
men and the mortally wounding of tho
fifth. These were all citizens of Rio.
What loss, IL any, the rebels sustained,
is not known. 1t has been rumored for
two days that the Aquidaban had re.
turned from the North, and that after
a trip to Dcsterre, she was waiting out,

cover of this the Aquidaban approached
almost under shadow of Fort Santa
Cruz before she was seen. This was at

rise. Instantly the firing began frola
Fort Santa Cruz, and moment later
Fort st. John Joined in the fight. Little
Fort Lago, further inside the bay, also
sent her quota to increase the hail If

The latter, however, contented herself
with firing three heavy projectiles which

themselves in the heart of the city.

Washington, Feb. O.-The United

reached the navy dennrtmcnt in dispatch
which came from Colon. 1t was sent BY
Lieut.. Brainart, of the Kearsarge, who
reached Colon Feb. 8. The Kearsarge,
by lrst report, sailed from Eayti for
Bluefelds, Nicaragua, to which IL was
ordered OH account of trouble between

But fortunately there appears to have

miles from the Mosquito coast of Cen
trail America. Before the cDast and the
reef lies Old Providence liand, only
scventy-ive or eighty miles no leeward
Of the reef. 1t is believed at the navy
department. that the officers and crew
would be able to reach Old Providence
without difficulty in casc they We're
in danger Of their lives on the reef, and
1t is believed that they would bc safe on
the reef, except in event of rough
weather. 1t Is the impression also at
the department that the kearsarge has
not gone to pieces, and may not do so
for some time, unless rough weather
comes up, although the tides and current
about the lcef, however, are swift and
dangerous.
Immediately upon receipt Of the news
of the wreck the navy department sent
a cable dispatch to Lieut.. Brainerd Mt
Colon ordering him to charter steamer
and proceed at once to the relief of the
shipwrecked crew.
Admiral Stanton was .M the Krar-
sarge. When the New York and De-
troit was dispatched to Rio 1t was made
the flagship of the North Atlantic
squadron, and Admiral Stanton, after
the secretary of the navy had acted
upon his report on the salute Of Mello,

the station.
The chief of the bureau of navigation

stood on the main track, forty rods from

road the car could not be seen until the
train was upon it. The engineer reversed
his engine and put on the air brake to
its fullest extent, with SO much effect
that the draw bar was pulled out of the
front car, the engine thus taking all of
the shock of the collision. 10 this
prompt action of Engineer Hayes the
passengers owe 1t that they were not
injured and only part Of them knew
that anything had happened. The train
ran ahead about twenty rods before it
stopped, and there it was found that the
