HEAVY FIRING At Rio
Captain Matzen Of the Catania
Had a Miraculous Escape
From Death.

QUARANTINE, Jan l2, 1894.-The German
steamer Catania, Captain Matzen, arrived
this morning from Santos and Rio Janeiro.
At Santos, which port was left on Decem-
Der 9, all was quiet on shore, No riots or
demonstrations of auy revolutionary char
acter took place during the sixteen days,
which wasl the length of the Catania'
stay. The health Of the port was remarkably
good.
At Rio Janeiro, where the Catania was
eight days loading, there were daily con-
fiicts between ships and shore The Catanla
was anchored off Enchados Island and,
while out of the line of fire from the heavy
artillery, bullets from the mac hine guns
were constantly flying over the ship, and
made any exposure uncomfortable.
CAPTAIN MATHEWS ESCAPE.
Captain Matzen, indeed, had an escape
which he regards almost as a miracle. He
had been all day on shore and was returning
in the ships boat when suddenly bullet
whistled by him and struck the water scarce
ly six feet beyond the boat, having passed
between the stroke oarsman and himself.
The conflict between the launches and the
shore usually began in the evening, and
from 4:30 to dark there was an almost pces-
SAINT rattle of machine guns. The soldiers
were all entrenched behind sand bags and
cotton bales, and completely lined the shore
of the harbor near the city.
BULLET MISSED HIM.
On the day the Catania left Rio, Captain
Matzen visited the German steamer
Campinas, which had just arrived. While
ON board, a bullet went through the saloon
skylight and buried itself in the woodwork
One day during the Catania'sa stay at
Rio, Mello had ore of his transports
armored with cotton bales, placed along
her sides, in order evidentlysto determine the
virtue of such protection. The transport
put to sea, safely passing between the forts,
and the next night returned, having suffered
no damage. Captain Matzen knew nothing
of the feeling on shore, as politics is for

WASHINGTON, Jan. II, 1894.-The House

ately available for the payment of current

sible into dollars, to be held in the Treasury
for the redemption of the certificates.
The second section provides that the re-
mainder of the silver bullion purchased

for redemption and silver certificates may be
issued on such coin.

est possible moment, the committee being

committee SIT is not exactly what my bill
provided, but it will serve to meet the pres
ent exigency"

acbount of his disappearance, and thereupon
started for home. He cannot account for
his strange conduct, and was evidently t,
porarily deranged when he went away.

GLADsT0NIAN DEFEATED.

LONDON, Jan. 12, 1S94.-An election was
held yesterday in the Horncastle division of
Lincolnshire to fill the vacancy in the House
of Commons caused by the death of the
Right Hon. Edward Stanhope, Secretary of
State for War in Lord Salisbury's last adj
servative candidate, was elected by ma
jority of 83S. The vote STOOD Lord Will
oughby, 4, 582; Mr.. Torr (GladstonianG 8, IA.
At the general election Mr.. Stanhope was
returned by majority of 73S. The Liberals
thought that the introduction of the Parish
Councils bill would tend to advance the in
terests of the party in the district, and that
they stood good fighting chance of win
ming the seat. The result shows that the
Conservatives elected their candidate by a
majority exactly one hundred greater than
given to Mr. Stanhope.
