Davy Crockett In PoIiticg.

Davy Crockett was not hero wor-
shipper, and was not in accord with
! the ,Iacksonian administration Of his
day. Shortly after his defeat for con-
gress he wrote letter which hos Just

of historical correspondence in private
hands, in which he states his position
in manner that will he acomfort to
some who think the present admins
tration is trifle Jack ,onian in it's
methods. The letter is given just as
it WAS written by the hero Of the

General Earley.

General Jubal Early died at his
home in Lynchburg, Va, last Friday
night Mt sevcnty-eight years of age.
lie was graduate of West Point
and served in the Florida war of 1887.
80, soon after resigning his place in
the army, he studied law and was ad
mltted to the bar. He went as a vol.
nnteer to the Mexican war in 1S47.
He was in the war between the States
and was alike conspicuous for his
bravery and devotion to the cause of
his country.
The announcement of his death
will be sad news to many of his COM
rades in arms, and recall to their
minds the daring and heroism in the
battles of Williamsburg, Fredoricks
burg and Gettysburg.
While General Lee considered It
necessary on account of reverses to
relieve him of the command in 1865.
yet there was no reflection upon his
behavior rs n soldier.
Tue only thing, in the judgement
of many, that ever dimmed the lus
tire of his fame was nis connection

KEEPS HANDS OFF.
England Will Not Interfere in the
Brazilian Business.

LONDON, Jan. I'm the Commons to-
day Mr.. Gladstone, replying to questions
as to whether there was any truth in the
stories from Rio that British ship-owners
had suffered from serious delay and were
exposed to considerable danger, expressed
surprise that such a question should be
put. He added that Earl Rosebery. Sec
retary of State for Foreign Affairs, had
been in constant communication with the
British Minister at Rio and with the Brit
ish naval commander at that port, and was
assured that Great Britain had at any rate
afforded ber ship-owners the same protec
ton as France or any other country afforded
her ship-owners. Gladstone said there was
larger number of British warships at
Ro than any other nation possessed at
that point. The insurgents had not been
recognized as belligerents and the British
and other naval commanders gave the
best protection possible against the at
tempts of either party to interfere with
legitimate commerce, but they should not
protect commerce against all risks when
landing cargoes. In conclusion Gladstone
said the Government had no intention of
interfering and are not advised that it had
any right to interfere in Brazilian matters.

The Startling Story That Comes

DE CANA WEAKENS.
He Really Did Not Mean to Declare
Himself in Favor of the
Monarchy.

LONDON, Jan. "A dispatch to a news
agency from Lisbon says: Advices from
Rio assert that Mello has succeeded in
etfecting landing at the Custom-house in
that city. which should enable him to sup
port the safe landing of the 5000 troops
who are daily expected from Santa Catha-
rna.
BUENos AYREs, Jan. News has been
received from Rio Grande 10 Sui to the
effect that the insurgents have captured
Bage after siege of one month. Advices
from Rio say the bombardment of that
city by the insurgent warshiDs continues.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-The Herald's
special from Montevideo SAYS: kilograms
just received here from the Rio Grande Do
Sui frontier say that the insurgents under
General Tavares captured the town of
Bage on Friday after fierce attack. The
Government forces under General Telles
suffered heavily in the fight. The siege of
Bage has been going on for about a
month.
Flushed with victory. the rebels are now
laying siege to Santa Anna do LibrameDto.
The Herald correspondent in Rio sends
word that the steamer Magdaleua, which
has arrived there from Pernambuco, re-
PORTS that Captain Baker of the NictherOy
has had trouble with his crew aud had to
shoot one or two Of them in the interest of
discipline.
News of the arrival of Rear-Admiral
Benham and the cruiser San Francisco at
Pernambuco has reached Rio. They are
expected to appear in Rio Harbor next
Friday.
A Herald dispatch from Rio Janeiro,
dated January 2. says: Admiral da CANA
published yesterday manifesto intended
to cOunteract the effect of his celebrated
declaration made a mouth ago in favor of
a monarchy.
This declaration has weakened the cause
of the Insurgents greatly in the last three
or four weeks, and has alenated from
Mello and Cana several officers who, be-
fore its appearance. lad been trusted
friends and allies. Among the people st
large the effects have been still more un-
favorable to the Insurgents cause.
Consequently. in his manifesto yester-
dav, Admiral de Cana asserted that his
former declaration was not a monarchist
document this document, and others at
tributed to him, had been altered and
printed in falsified copies. He had not
declared for monarchy, but had intend
ed merely to ask the people of Brazil what
form of republican government they
wanted.
This manifesto has fallen fat, as friends
Of the republic regard it as a maneuver to
win support to the insurgents cause.
While not gaining for the insurrection any
new republican friends the manifesto has
alienated many former supporters, as the
mOnarchisis are thoroughly disgusted with
Gama's backdown.
