from Montevideo. February IL;
Rio Feb. 9.--At 8 o'clock this morn
ing 500 insurgents attacked Armacac
and Ponta da Areia, in the vicinity of
Nictheroy. Launches conveying the
landing parties left the island of Con-
ceicao at $3.50 a. M, and succeeded in
reaching the mainland without discov-
cry. In half an hour, after heavy FIR
ing on both sides, the government
troops retired, leaving five officers and
forty men prisoners, and six officers and
fifty men killed. AT 8 O'clock reinforce
ments of over 1000 men arrived, and
the government troops again advanced,
under heavy fire of rifles and machine
guns. Admiral Da CANA further at
tempted to check the advance of the
troops by calling for reinforcements Of
100 men from Conceicao, and by send.
ing armed launches from the cruiser
Libertade, close to the mainland. The
forts stopped the advance and caused
heavy losses to the government forces
Then the insurgents ammunition fel
short, their fire Stacked and the troops
slowly gained ground. After thre'
hours fighting the troops were within
half mile Of Armacao, and Da Gam;
decided to withdraw the sailors, finding
it impossible to remain there on accoun
of the overwhelming number of tn,
enemy. The insurgents loss was fiv'
officers and thirty men killed, an(
twenty officers and forty men wounded
The government is supposed to hav'
lost fifteen officers and $50 men killed
and many wounded. Da Cana has bul
let wounds in his neck and arm, bu
they are not dangerous. The govern
ment claim a decisive victory, and to
day sent 1900 men to reinforce the gar
rison at Nictheroy.

wAITEs EXTRA SESSION.

Denver, Feb. 1.-THE legislature has
been in session a month, at a-cost to
the state of over $4,000. and not single
law has been enacted. The republicans
are indignant at the refusal of Auditor
Goodykountz to issue warrants for sal
aries until bill is passed designating
from what fund the money shall be
taken. The auditor bases his refusal on
the ground that there is no money in
the treasury not previously appropri-
ated. His communication explaining his
position was today, on motion of Repre-
sentatiyeS Sweeney, returned to the
"RoeISy rfrountain canary who sent it
in" and will not appear in the records
of the house.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
A widow and Her Children Get Justic

a. w
San Francisco, Feb, 12.-An important
case was decided in the United States
circuit court of appeals this morning,
which seriously affects the title Of the
town of Everett, Wash, and the evil
dence adduced in the case shows how
an unfortunate widow and her half or
phans were wantonly robbed Of theii
rights and all that years of toll and
industry had garnered up for them. a
Mexican war veteran named Hatch died
years ago, leaving his wife, who was
an Indian woman, 800 acres Of land
which he had taken up. Hatch died In
1890, before his land was entirely proved
up. He left his wife and children to
the care Of Il. c. Ferguson. His wife
probably acting on Ferguson's advice,
proved up on the land and got per-
feet title to both parcels. She had i'm
plicit confidence in Ferguson, and he
suggested that she give him the power
Of attorney, which she did without hesl-
fancy. He sold the property on which
the town of Everett now stands for $40
an acre. The property was transferred
to man named Henry Hewitt, who,
within six months, sold 1t to a syndi-
cate for $3.50 an acre. The remaining
160 acres were left to the Hatch chill
dren, but as Ferguson was their guar
dian, he had but little difficulty In get
ting the consent Of their mother to al
low him to dispose of the property at a
good price. Mrs. Hatch brought suit
In the circuit court Of Washington, and
It was decided that the property on
which the town of Everett lies must be
