The Wadsworth dispatch. [volume] (Wadsworth, Nev.) 1892-1899, 1894-04-28

The Mello rebellion in Brazil has been
put down, it is true, and it was the more
formidable one. But before Mello and
Da Cana broke out there was another
and entirely different revolt in the prov
ince of Rio Grande do Sui. The Rio
Grande do Sui inhabitants did not rebel
because they wanted to down Peixoto
and put somebody else in his place as
president. but because they thought he
had been meddling too much with their
provincial elections, which was probably
true. Ithas not been announced that the
Rio Grande do Sui rebels have given up.
Perhaps they will quiet down when Presi-
ident Moraes assumes the reins of gov
eminent in the autumn. ..

dressed his countryneD. "This man,
he said, "would deprive your familIe.

the strike order, and Hanseni retorted
with "Your are here for the purpose of
doing my people harm" The lie was
passed, and Hanseni backed by an ex-

OBrien's body repeatedly, killing him

the county for her, but without avail.
The frantic husband and father re-
neWed the search when he arrived at
his des olate home, and found his wife
wan dering In tho woods, q r3ving ma.

arms and had the pistol ready to shoot.
The threats Of the White Caps effected
an aWful revenge on the faithful dc

CnERAw, April 25.-~.The libel case
Of g. II. Finch against A. G.. Kollock.
editor of the Cheraw Reporter, for 800
damages, came of in Trial Justice J. r.
Hurst's court at chesterfield on the
18th. Mr.. Finch was represented by
w. Z. Pollock, and Mr.. Kollock bv
Edward McIver and w. r. stevenson.
Finch evidently did not think ho had
been damaged; at any rate he left the
county before the day of trial, His at :
toney, therefore, had 10 act both as
witness and lawyer in the case. Messrs.
McIver and Stevenson argued for q non
suit, and completely routed Mr.. Pollock
VINO did not seem to have any case,
failed to make but very poor showing.
The trial justice granted a nonsuit on the
ground that the attorney for the plaintiff
tailed to prove any special damages. The
attorneys fer the defense made other
points for nouauit, but the justice con-
sldered the one mentioned as sufficient
to grant the noneuit. The cause of the
action was tho publication in the Repor-
ter Ct an article in which Mr., Finch was
called spy. An explanation, was
made in subse quent issue which should
have been sufficient to drop the suit.
This Is the first case Of the kind, 80 far
as know, ever brought in this county.

THE IRONCLADS.
Some of the Great Floating Masses
of Modern Times.

The biggest armor-clads in The world are the
italian Italia and Lepanto, sister ships, each
OF Is, 900 tons displacement, Next to them
came the monster English battle-ships of the
Royal Sovereign class, vessels of 14,150 tons
displacement. These in turn will be surpassed
says the Boston Transcript, by the Magnificent
and the Majestic, each of which will displace
14,90o tons. The largest armor-clad over
which the French flag floats is The Admiral
Baudin OF II, 800 tons and next to her Is the
LaZare CarnOt. only eighty tons smaller. Ger
manYs largest armor- clad Is the Brandenburg
Of 9S40 tons. Austria has never built any
armoreads save those OF moderate dmen-
sions, her largest, The T. getth0f, being of 1890
ions. Spain's largest is the Pelavo OF 5000
tons.
The three United States Oattleships OF the
first class which have been launched are the
Massachusetts, Oregon and Indiana, each of
10,200 tons displacement. The Iowa. now
building. Will be OF IL ,296 tons. There Is now
a reaction against monster ships. England is
the only naval power that persists in the policy
of building them. and apparently she is nearing
a halt The Italians have come to the concfu-
sion tnat is indicated by the dimensions Of
their latest armot-clad authorized, which will
have $500 tons displacement The determina-
tion Of France and The United States 10 keep
their battleships under II, 700 tons was delib-
eratey taken by each Government, after
weighing weight against efficiency. In this
policy Russia also agrees, the largest OF her
armor-cl in service being the George Pobe-
donosetZ, of 10 2S0 tons, while the naval con-
structors regard 10000 tons as about the
proper limit.
OF the cruisers now afloat the Russian RurIk
is the largest and probably, taking all things
into consideration, the most powerful. She is
armor-belted and OF 10000 tons displacement,
almost 1000 tons larger than the Blake The
English have authorized two cruisers of IA, 900
tons each, being determined TO see the Rurik
and go her 3100 tons better. AS in the case OF
| the armorclads England stands alone in ac-
cspting this challenge. Her Blake and Blen-
helm are not only exceeded by the Rurik. but
by the Spanish Emperador Carlos V, which has
9235 tons displacement The largest Fren ch
cruiser in active service is the D'Entrecasteaux
of 1900 tons, but he Jeanne d'Arc is being
enlarged TO a total displacement OF 300 TONS
The largest cruiser class of the Italian service
