The reason assigned for the great

A protracted drought, &C c,omparied
by dry, parching winds, has greatly
damaged the corn crop over a great
section of the corn belt, and
although it Is likely that the damage

THE IRSURGENTS DEFEATED.

believed the Revolution Is Virtually
over.
Copvriqif>a. 1891, by ne Assoclqfea Preis.
RIO DE JASIEBo, February 13.-lt is
generally believed that the insurrectlon
here and In the South is virtually over.
The rebels are losing at all points, and to
an impartial observer the end Of the
long drawn out struggle Is in sight.
BY far the most bloody battle that
has been fought during the revolt took
place early ln the morning Of February
o at Armacao mountain. when tho In
surgents lost 250 men. As the entire
rebel force here numbers less than 500
men. their loss on this occasion was a
very serious blow 20 them. The
rebels at first repulsed the govern
mept troops, but the discovery Of
large supply Of whisky proved IA
tai 70 The attacking force. The
rebels devoted themsels 70 drinking tke
whlsky. with the result that In very
short time many Of them were placed
horde combat u was while the greater
number of the rebels were in helpless
Iy intoxicated condition that the severe
loss was inflicted upon them By the gov
eminent troops. Those who were unin-
lured and had sense enough 20 fee took
70 their boats and soon placed them
selves outside The range Of fire.
Fresh guns have now been mounted
upon the batteries, which are noW do
ing a. much damage % the rebel feet as
was done before the attack was made.
The rebels are very seriously crippled,
owing % their lack Of men. 10 add
ton 70 this. every one Of their ships
here, with the exception Of the Aquida-
ban. has been shot full Of holes by the
Government forces. Their facilities for
repairing the damage done their ships
are very meagrs. and consequently their
vessels are not a. ali ssaWorthy.
