ter, about O'Clock, when we drank together
in Clark-street saloon. We went back to
the station, and 1 left COughlin about 10

Inns whereabouts on the night of May 4,
telling substantially the same story as

THE STORY TOLD AGAIN.
One Shell from the Detroit Enough
for the Insurgents.

NEW YORK. Jan. 31.-The Herald's Rio
de Janeiro correspondent. in describing the
conveying of the American ship to her
landing place by Admiral Benhams fleet,
says: "Only one shot was fired that was
intended to hit the target, but that was
enough. It was a shell from the Detroit,
and it sank into the rebels sternpost in a
businessliloe way that convinced the insur-
gents "Uncle Sams' gunners We're not
toy gunners, and caused them TO quickly
hang out the signal for a cessation of hos
tilities. On Monday the Detroit started TO
lead the American vessels toward the
wharves. She had not gone far when Adj
miral Da Cana signaled for the advancing
fleet to come no further. Admiral Benham
promptly signaled TO the Detroit, 'Go
ahead" and no sooner did Da Cana see
this than bang went one of the guns at the
Detroit. This shot hit nothing. SO Captain
Brownson, of the Detroit, was content to
ANSWER it only with a shot across the bows
OF the rebel man-of-war, as warning that
he was in earnest. Da Cana could not

Brownson that further forbearance would

fervent prayer that the Yankee tars would
see fit to do the same. 1t was we'll he did
so, for Captain Brownson was just prepar-

broadside from his big guns, but, noting
the signal. he mercifully forbore.

from Peixoto on the American men-of-war,
which, he stated, had been offered them
by Admiral Benham. The younger officers,
however. were in mood to surrender,
and outvoted the proposition. Thus they
lost according TO Da Gama's views an
earlier and more honorable way out OF
their revolt than defeat by PeiXoto. How
ever this may be, one thing is now certain:
that United States vessels in Rio harbor

OLD DEED FOUND.
As a Result Valuable Lands i'm the

CLEVELAND, Jan. Sl.--A question as to
the ownership OF valuable lands claimed by
the Lake Shore and the Cleveland & Pitts

unexpected finding OF the original deed of
the entire Western Reserve. made in 1900.
The deed is from President John Adams TO
the State of Connecticut. and places as
the northern boundary the center OF Lake
Erie. The ownership of the land made in
the lake by the railroads is thus possibly
the property OF the heirs OF the Connecticut
Land Company.

Only signal shots Exchanged.

BUENOS AYRES, Jan. 3l.-Dispatches re-
ceived here from Rio de Janeiro say that
the Brazilian insurgents are making prepar-
ations for a vigorous attack upon Santos
and Sac Paulo. The news that firing had
taken place between the United States war
ships and the insurgent vessels seems TO
have been greatly exaggerated. Dispatches
received say that only signal shots were
exchanged and no shot was fired in real
earnest 1t is added that the insurgents
feel discouraged at Admiral Da Gama'S sur
render to the United States admiral. and
that it is reported that the younger officers
are in favor of having Admiral Da Cana
replaced by younger and more energetic
commander.

OMAHA, Neb.. Dec. 16.-A staff cor
respondent of the World-Herald sent
into the western part Of the State to
investigate the reports of destltution
among the farmers, sends from North
Platte a most distressing story. Most
of the renters have left the country
and few of the owners of land are IN
a prosperous condition. There have
been two successive crop failures. The
animals are also suffering, and unless
food is sent for them they will not be
fit for work next spring. Some OF the
farmers are really in want and others
starving. Some supplies are coming
in from the East, but much more are
needed. Some of the farmers are llv-
ing on wild fruits.
