FIGHTING AT RIO.
Insurgents Attack the Government Forces
Fierce Fighting.

Fierce Fighting.
Rio DE JANIERo, Jan. 4, via MONTE
vIDEo, Jan. S-Adm. da CANA still
holds out, stating that he expects the
Aquidaban and Republics with REIN
forcements from the south. He appears
confident of the ultimate result and re-
ceived e12, 900 on Saturday from SYM
pathizers in order to pay his men.
There has been some rain recently
and the fighting has only been inter
mittent A fleet of insurgent tugs,
commanded by Adm. da Cana, has been
brought along shore several times in an
attempt to drive back the government
forces and land troops. Although
the insurg rents fought with reckless
bravery their efforts were in vain They
lost heavily. but did not gain even
foothold. Desperate resistance was
offered yesterday afternoon and last
night to the government advances.
Five insurgent steamers were engaged
for i.ours There was much noise, but
little blood flowed. 1t transpired that
some men got ashore by way of the
marine arsenal whose traitorous COM
The diplomats have refused to recog-
nize the belligerent status of the in
surgents, on the ground that the pro-
visional government has not sufficient
standing.
Adm. Chavas, the minister of marine,
resigned his Office on account of the
difference of opinion with Peixoto re-
garding the Imprisonment and general
treatment of the naval officers suspect
ed of sympathy with the insurgents.
His successor, Adm Meatto. is consid-
cred honest, though he has no special
ability.
Public opinion compelled Adm. da
CANA to issue the manifesto distributed
on Saturday. The manifesto denied in
these words the correctness of the in
ference drawn from the CANA mon-
archistic manifesto of week ago:
"The documents attributed to me were
falsified in the printed copies. With
the victory of the revolution will come
the establishment of civil republican
government"
An unsigned manifesto denouncing
the employment of North American
mercenaries on the government cruiser
Nictherov has been distributed. The
sentiment against hiring North Ameri-
cans to serve on Brazilian vessels is
very strong, even among friends of the
government, and to this sentiment is
due much of the trouble with the
Nictheroy's crew. The recent dismis-
sal of several North Americans was due
probably to the popular prejudice
which existed against them. The long
shoremen left the barges used in coal
ing the Nictheroy and Joined the in
surgents The foremen who are re-
sponsible for the desertions have been
obliged to bring them back or suffer
the penalty of imprisonment. The
Nictheroy is still in Pernambuco.

Of the fleet, has taken his instruments
and some supplies to Euchadas, and is

Stella Robbins, the widely known
woman aeronout. met with a probably
fatal accident here yesterday. She has
been giving Sunday afternoon ascen-

The balloon arose to a height of
about 1000 feet when Miss Robbins let
herself drop with the parachute. The
parachute opened, but the wind carried
it downward with great rapidity, and
it struck large tree with its burden
with terrific force. Miss Robbins right
leg was broken and she received inter

fatally.

Gauntlet to Gov. Mitchell.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 9.-The
Duval Athletic club this afternoon
threw down the gauntlet to Gov.
Mitchell and the state authorities. 1t
announces that it proposes to bring
about the prize fight between Corbett
and Mitchell despite the opposition of
the governor and despite the opinion
of Attorney-General Lamar that the
fight would be violation of the laws
of Florida.
As may be seen from the statement
from the club. words are not in the
least minced. The club people seem to
think they have the law. on their side
and that Gov Mitchell is acting in
tyrannical and extra-judicial manner,
and they say SO in plain words.
The attorney-general's positive edict
against the fight is met by as positive
a statement from the club that the con-
test will occur.
