A HAND-To-HAND FIGHT.
Troops Surrender to
the Insurgents.


London, Jan. 23-lCopyrighted, 1894,
by the Associated ress.]-The Times,
tomorrow, will publish the following,
dated Rio De Janeiro, January 20, via
Montevideo, January 16: The insur-
gents attacked Mocangue island
While the Aquidaban made prepara-
tons to advance, she kept up heavy
fire with the machine quick-firing guns
until $780, Then four insurgent
launches advanced, covering the land
ing of three parties of twenty-seven men
each, who, with a reserve of thirty
men, were placed on Mocangue Pc
quena. The insurgents landed just at
daybreak and Immediately charged
the government battery, capturing a
Krupp field piece, one heavy Whit
worth and a. large supply of ammuni-
ton. The insurgents turned the bat
terry against the government troops
stationed at Moore Da Armacao and
Punta Da Areia. A sharp hand-to-
hand fight took place on the island
and it was maintained for half an
hour. AT the expiration Of this time
the government troops surrendered
The total loss of the government is as
follows: Commanding officer and ten
killed, fifteen wounded and three of
ficers and 100 men taken prisoners.
The government loss on the main land
is unknown, but it must have been
heavy. The insurgents have five
killed and seven wounded.
The governments new war ships are
still at Pernambuco. The Tiradente
and Bahia remain at Montevideo. The
insurgents report they have received
notice of the consignment of 5000 Man
LIGHTER rifles, two million cartridges,
forty-eight Krupp guns and a large
supply of ammunition for the use of
the revolutionary forces.

THE TROOPS WE'RE KISSED.
Anything But a Pleasant Reception
Accorded Them

Jacksonville, Jan 23-The troops
came to town this evening the entire
second battalion of the Florida militia,
in all 1876. The troops emerged from
the train in this order: Shine Guards,
Orland, "a strong, under command of
Captain Bowan; Ocala Rifles, So:
Leesburg Rifles, 80; Gate Citys of Stan
ford. 50. Major G. P. Lowell is in com
mand of the battalion. Each company
brought along it's own impedimento
which was loaded upon the truck and
hauled to temporary quarters. There
was no excitement among the specta-
tors, who received the troops good
naturedly, with an occasional cheer
and occasional sneering from the small
boys, who picked out various members
of the command for complimentary all
lusions, such as Hi! there, get onto
fatty" etc.
Something of a sensational nature
occurred when the soldiers were pass
ing in front of the Globe saloon. All
the way up the street they were met
with derisive yells and Kisses. In front
of the saloon there was an unusually
large crowd, which gave vent to their
displeasure by such volume of Kisses
that must have made the ears of the
soldiers tingle. The Kisses increased
until the noise became growl, when
the soldiers suddenly, under an order
from the captains, lowered their guns
to a position to load, and went through
the motion whether they did load or
not. This significant action was at
once noticed by the crowd and it only
renewed the ridicule. The men were
very angry when they reached the ar
mory, claiming the Kisses and other in
suits they were subjected to on the
march from the railroad sta
ton had left them with no
good feeling toward the people
of Jacksonville. OF the same frame
of mind were the men of company d.
Captain Teff1er. One private went so
far as to say that had he not received
strict orders not to fire unless com
manded, some one in the crowd would
have been hurt when the Kissing be-
gan.
IF we face mob said one of the
heutenants, land get orders to fire, we
will do so, and not in the air. either.
Our boys were brought up with guns
in their hands and can hit a man
across a street. After the treatment we
received tonight, l know my men are
very i'll humored and | believe they will
shoot to kill, should reason require it. .
Similar expressions were made bv
others Of the battalion, and the fact
is evident there is much bad feeling
among the boys in blue from the out
side districts over the reception accord
ed them by a large portion of the peo-
pie of Jacksonville. The people are
afraid the governors action may drive
not little business away from their

Pernambuco, Jan. pa dispatch
from the Associated Press correspond
ent at Rio Janeiro says that probably
the United States will be called on to
arbitrate the differences between the
government and the insurgents.
Lately, President Peixoto has sent
out feelers in that direction. United
States officers here have intimated that
they are not in position to arbitrate
any dispute at the request of only one
of the parties thereto.
1t is learned today, however, on good
authority that Admiral De CANA, the
rebel admiral, has requested Admiral
Benham, of the United States force
here, to act as mediator between the
insurgents and government, with a
view Of bringing about an understand
ing. This news was hailed with the
greatest satisfaction by everybody
when the news reached the shore.
Nobody seemed to doubt that the
American admiral would soon be able
to patch up a peace. as both sides are
heartily tired of the conflict.

Made a strong Attack.

New York, Jan. ga World dis
patch from Tegucigalpa, Honduras,
says the city was attacked last night
by a strong force of revoluionists and
Nicaraguan allies, and they succeeded
in gaining a good deal of ground, but
were repealed before morning. Forty
Hondurans were killed and seventy
wounded. The Nicaraguan loss was
greater. Both sides are preparing for
another battle. President Vasquez de-
clares it impossible for the enemy to
take this city. All available men are
being sent to the front.
General Ortez telegraphs to Managua
that one of the enemy's strongest
points leading into the main pass at
Cerro De HUle, was taken at day
break, after severe losses on both sides.

Jacksonville, Fla, Jan. 2S.-The
argument on the bill praying for an
injunction to restrain the sheriff from
interfering with the Corbett- Mitchell
fight was called in the circuit court
this morning before Judge Call and
an argument on both sides is being
presented.
The judge is understood to be in
clined to grant the injunction if the
lawyers for the Duval club can con-
vince him that such a contest as that
indicated in the articles of agreement
is not illegal.
From rather an equivocal statement
made by Sheriff Broward this morn
ing, it is surmised that if the court
grants the injunction he will not take
any too many chances of punishment
for contempt of court by stopping it.
Moreover, a letter was received this
morning to the effect that if the citi-
zens would make it pleasant and con-
vivial for the troops whom the gov
ernor is sending, on their arrival,
and if the Duval club would give them
complimentary admission to the fight
they might stack their arms and for
get to take them UP again till too late
to prevent the contest.
Work with a large force was resumed
on the arena this morning, indicating
that the club has strong grounds to
believe they can pull off the fight
there.
1t is expected that Judge Call
will render his decision today 1t is
barely possible that it may be delayed
so as to render a postponement of the
fight till Friday or Saturday neces-
sary.
Judge Call has granted continuation
of the injunction proceedings against
the sheriff until tomorrow morning,
issuing a temporary injunction, in the
meantime restraining the sheriff from
interfering until the case in court had

CHoLLY is READY.
Taken His Last Exercise, He Now
Awaits the Battle.

Awaits the b0tIles
ST. Augustine, Fla, Jan. 23.-Charley
Mitchell is now entirely ready for the
fight. His last work, a run of SIX
miles, followed by a rub down, was
completed by o'clock today and he
will quietly rest until he enters the
ring, doing no more work than is neces-
sary to keep him in condition. He is
still very confident of the outcome, and
only laughs at the. odds quoted against
him.
''They have often been wrong" he
said, land they are wrong this time"
Concerning the proposition to adj
journ the fight until later, Mitchell
was very. emphatic. He looked SUI
premely Disguised when he hearl cf
the possibility of a postponement until
Saturday, and then remarked, With
energy:
81 will listen to no proposition fro m
the club unless it is made worth my
while. 1 have finished my work and
have made all preparations to leave
here for the fight on Thursday. The
only object of the club in postponing
the fight is to draw more men down
here 1t takes no account of the men
who have already come down to see
the fight, but simply keeps everybody
here at an increased expense, so it can
make more money for itself. If they
want g. postponement to Saturday they
must, as L have said, make it worth
my while to wait; otherwise, l shall
fight on Thursday"
The granting of a temporary in
junction at Jacksonville, was CRATE
full news to the members of the Mitch
ell party.
of course this does not settle every
thing" said Bat Masterson, But it
does look as though the governor
was disposed to submit the matter to
argument, and that is what he has re-
fused to do heretofore. We have it
from a source which 1 can't give you,
but which I assure you is the highest,
that the granting of the injunction will
not be unsatisfactory to Governor
Mitchell He does not, my informant
stated, desire to place the city of
Jacksonville under martial law, and
having done all that he could to have
his way upon what he thinks to be
right, and then having been stopped by
the courts, he will be glad to have the
matter settled that way rather than
drawn out in an eternal wrangle.""
ut suits me all right said Mitchell,
II don't care where the fight comes off,
so long as it does come off. OF course,
prefer a comfortable arena TO
fight in the bushes, but [ want the
fight to come off without any more
monkey business"
The Mitchell party will move up to
Jacksonville tomorrow. All the party
profess themselves perfectly sure the
fight can have but one result, and that
will be an utter route for Jim Corbett.
The story that Bowden had said the
fight would be declared off if the in
junction was not made permanent to-
morrow, put them in q less pleasant
state of mind. Mitchell was at first
inclined to be savage, but finally said:
81 have done all could, and am
ready to carry out my part of the pro-
gramme, but if the club has put money
in Kelley's hands today, the fight may
come off after all. That bridge can't
be crossed, however, before it is

New York, Jan. 2s-The steamer
Normandie, of the Hamburg-American
company, which sailed from this port
on Thursday of last week for Genoa
and Naples. returned today so severely
damaged by a tidal wave, which
struck the vessel early Sunday MORN
ing that she was rendered unsea-
worthy and she had to put back to
this port in order to secure the safety
of her passengers. The damage to the
ship is estimated at from $4,000 to
100000.
No one was killed, but the second
officer was injured internally and it
is feared six seamen were more or less
injured.
The wave was encountered $50 miles
from Sandy Hook at o'clock in the
morning. All day Saturday, severe
storm had ragged. At $50 Sunday
morning, the wind was so strong and
the seas so high it was deemed adj
visable to reduce the speed.
Before a. m, the weather improved
and the vessel was put to three-quar-
ter speed. Six boilers were used, and
the screws were revolving fifty-six
times a second.
At 6:15, while the ship was pitched
down by the head, an immense wave
boarded her, and struck on the pro-
menade deck on the forward part Of
the vessel. The deck was literally
bent by the force of the wave. The
damage did not stop there With
even greater force the promenade deck
house forward was struck. This con-
tains six compartments and all were
carried away back to the promenade
deck house, where the captain and the
second officer slept. The latter fell
from the bunk and was badly hurt.
In the cabin, every Yestage Of orna-
ment,s mirrors, etc, were broken and
carried off; the grand piano was
smashed into a. thousand pieces,
wave picked it up and hurting it down
the promenade stairs.
The cupola over the main dining
room had all the wrought iron work
smashed to pieces. Through this the
water entered the dining-room, doing
great damage. The flood proceeded as
far as the cabins, entering some and
frightening the occupants.
The great crash awakened and
frightened all on board, but there was
no panic That SO few were injured
is due solely to the fact that nearly
everybody was asleep at the time.
Had the wave come later, many, it is
believed, would not only have been in
jured. but drowned as we'll
1t will take three days, at least, to
make the vessel seaworthy, and it will
be impossible to repair the ship here
so she can proceed on her VOYAGE All
that will be done will be to strengthen
the deck. This was so weakened that
if another wave had struck the ship.
the captain says, it would have gone
right through the deck.
