HOW THE SHIP VENUS WAS SUNK
Torn in Half by the Explosion of a
She'll During Bombardment
of the Forts.

Rio JANEIRo, March At is generally
believed that The inSurIection here and in
the south is virtually over. The rebels
are losing at all points. BY far the most
bloody battle that has been fought during
the revolution took place early in the
morning OF February at Armacao Noun
tain, when the insurgents lest go men.
The rebels at first repulsed the Govern
ment troops. but the discovery of large
supply of whisky proved fatal to the al
tackiDg force. The rebels devoted them
selves to the whisky with the result that
in very short time many of them were
placed hors de combat. II was while the
greater number of the rebels we're help
lessly intoxicated that the severe loss was
inflicted upon them by the Government
troops.
MoNTEvIDEo, March 4.-The following
adylces have been received from the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent at Rio de
Janeiro, under dale of February 26:
The reports OF the loss of the re bel trans
port Venus have been confirmed, but the
details are yet meager. On Friday morning
the armed rebel transports Jupiter, Marte
and Venus opened a bombardment against
the Government batteries and quite a lively
IRE was exchanged.
Suddenly theIe was a terrific roaring
heard above the booming of the guns, and
II was seen, as the smoke cleared away.
that an explosion had occurred on the
Venus. The vessel had been torn in half
and almost Immediately the stern half
went to the bottom. The bow part was on
FIRE and in few minutes the flames were
raging furiously. This portion of the
Venus floated for half an hour and then
went do wn.
The Venus was commanded by CAPTAIN
VascUncellts. He, with thirteen officers
and twenty-nine men made up the crew.
Every Soul on board was lost. Some of
the crew could be seen for time on the
forward part of the vessel and efforts were
made TO rescue them, but the boats we're
slow and the men on the wreck were forced
by the fire into the water. Before they
could be reached all went down. The
most probable theory of the explosion is
that shot from the batteries struck the
boat amidships and tore through the hull
and boiler. 1t is not thought the magazine
exploded. Tor the smoke of the explosion
was reddish brown. and smoke of powder
is gray.

Gale bade his boyhOod friend good-by and
