Two Desperate Fights Occur in
Oklahoma.
Citizens of Enid Are on Guard,
Fearing Their Homes May
Be Burned.

ENID. o. r.. March 1.-TWO desperate
fights occurred to-day over the municipal
troubles in this city. The first was be-
tween S. F. Spencer. president of the
County Bank. and hard character named
Flaher:y. Spencer has been iden ntified
with the Moore faction ana was put in
nomination by the Moore crowd to-day for
City Treasurer. Spencer was brutally
beaten and commenced an indiseriminate
fusillade.
Flaherty was slightly wounded and a
spent bullet struck a woman, but did not
seriously injure her.
The second fight was between Commits
sioner Williams and Jailer Williams
They met in pharmacy, Jailer Williams
declaring the Commissioner must GO
under. They commenced shooting and
the lsiler was hit in the head. He was
carried off the field in an ambulance.
Jailer Williams is a desperate man and
it is certain that when the TWO men meet
again one or the other will have to 60
down. Citizens are guarding residences
at night with Winchesters, fearful that
their houses will be set on fire. The gen.
eral feeling is that more trouble is to come.

COMMONERS AND LORDS.
Both Houses Discuss the Home-
Rule Question.

LONDON, March 12.-The House of Com
mons assembled shortly after o'clock.
The Irish members gave an enthusiastic
welcome to John Morley's announcement
of the evicted tenants bill. After an ad-
dress in reply to the Queens speech had
been proposed and seconded Right Hon.
A. j. Balfour, the Conservative leader,
paid graceful tribute to Mr.. Gladstone.
Balfour then complained there was no
mention in the Queens speech of the
questions relating to Eastern Asia, Siam,
Matabele and Uganda, aud referring to the
promised reinstatement of evicted tenants
the speaker warned the Government that
the Conservatives would oppose any pro-
posal to give persons who for political
purposes had defled the law portion of
the public funds. ANY such measure.
Mr.. Balfour concluded. would be a men,
ace to the future quietude Of Ireland and
would put premium on agitation.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, the Lib

with a glowing eulogy to Gladstone. Sir
William said be was glad Balfour admitted

though he refused to admit that it was due
to the Governments policy. The Govern

AT 4:15 o'clock the House of Lords re-
sumed business. Lord Salisbury said be
had no doubt but that the House would
find Lord Rosebery jealous defender of
the legisla live privileges of the House of
Lords. Lord Salisbury dwelt upon the
omission from the programme of refer
erence to international legislation, and
especially the marked absence of the home
rule question.
Lord Rosebery said the Government did
not desire to evade the question of nome
rule for Ireland. but explained 1t was not
mentioned in the Queens speech because
it would not be introduced thisssession.

not afraid to appeal to the country when
we think the time Is ripe, but we shall
never concede to this hereditary assembly

In conclusion Lord Rosebery said Ire
land would never be contented until she
had obtained home rule. The House then
adjourned.
In the Commons Harrington, NJ. P, Dub

experiment TO abandon home rule, and a
warm debate followed.
Howard Vincent moved an amendment
to the address, calling attention to the de-
preston in trade.
Mr.. Mundella. president of the Board of
Trade, said he thought the less they in.

HOW DA CANA WEAKENED.
He Knew That the Rebels Would
Meet Defeat.

NEW YORK. March ia special to the
Herald from Rio Janeiro says: Admiral
da Cana sent message to Peixoto to-day
offering to surrender his feet and cease
further fighting. He named the terms,
which were to include immunity for him.
self and all connected with the revolution
After dlspatching his message containing
the terms on which he was willing to sur
render. Da Cana sought safety. He re-
quested an asylum on board the Portu-
guese man.of-war Mindelo.
The Portuguese commander received
him. and the rebel admiral is now on board
that vessel. After getting on board of her
he modified his terms somewhat and asked
that himself and his officers be permitted
to leave the country and that the lives of
privates be spared.
Nothing has been heard of De Mello,
with the Aquidaban and Republica, since
he successfully ran past the forts. 1t is
thought he is now in the South. probably
off Santa Catharina or Parangua.
The circumstances which led to Da
Gama's offer of surrender were no doubt
the preparations for decisive fight, which
had been made by Peixoto. Pexoto has
issued an official decree announcing that at
MONDAY tomorrow all the Government
batteries would open fire upon the rebel
ships in the bay as we'll as upon Fort Viii
legaignon and Cobras Island.
Warning had been given to citizens to
leave the city and seek shelter outside the
range of the rebel guns. There was no
doubt felt that the insurgent gunners
would reply to the Government fire and
lombard the city. doing consider
able damage to buildings, but
with more than sixty heavy guns
which Peixoto now has in his various
batteries. the fight, it was thought, should
not last long. The Government forces
were in high spirits over the prospect of
general conflict and appeared ready to
fight to death for the established Govern
ment of Brazil.
Residents of Rio would have been put to
an immense amount of trouble in getting
out of the way of the artillery duel OF
such short notice, and none of them could
feel sure that bis home or shop would rot
be in ashes when he returned. Yet
they realized that this action of Peixoto

doing so under the circumstances.

Gently introduced in the House by Nc
Creary, at the instance of Gresham, is one
step on the road to final settlement. The
measure defines the limits OF the two zones

or only under certain conditions, and ap-
plies solely to vessels sailing under the
American flag. Es soon as 1t shall become
law bill of similar tenor will be intro.
duced in the British Parliament.
1t is believed here that there will be no
delay in securing the necessary legisla ton.
Further than this it will be necessary to
negotiate a treaty between the United
States and Great Britain to make binding
the results of the arbitration. To this end
efforts are now in progress. The principal
object TO be secured from onr point of
view is binding agreement as to the
punishment of offenders. and especially to
bring within reach of our laws pelagic

that the agreement will continue In full
force until the last measure necessary to
give effect to the arbitrators' findings has
been adopted. Ii this view should prevail.
1t would bear very hard upon our inter
ests, for it would oblige the North Ameri-
can Seal Company to confine its catch to
1900 skins, to their severe loss, and also
deprive our Government of the bonus of
$40 per skin, which it would receive from
$4,000 skins that might be taken in other
circumstances, or S500.OOO. Besides, itIis a
question whether the Government would
not be liable to the seal company for the
losses sustained by reason of the restric-
rions of the modus viyendi.

1t was fully expected the remaining ves-

Peixoto, in accordance with the terms of
an agreement entered into some time ago
between the bellgerents ON both sides and
foreign Governments represented in
Rio Janeiro, sent word yesterday to
foreign naval commanders that he would
after the expiration of forty-eight hours
from the receipt of this message begin the

guns in the city batteries.
This notice was intended to allow the

knowledged that if the rebel ships, instead

would cOmplicate matters considerably.
Peix0t0 in the early months of the
revolt used occasionally to fire upon the
rebels from the guns he was mounting in
the newly constructed batteries on the
hilltops surrounding the city and from
others on the water front. This brought
an answering fire from the rebels
upon the city and endangered the lives
and property of foreign residents. who
appealed to their respective Governments
for protection. This resulted in vigorous
protests to Mello. who replied that as long
as Peixoto fired upon him from the
city Rio should be regarded as a
fortified town and treated accord
ingly. Peixoto thereupOn agreed TO
to desist from using the city batteries upon
rebels and while he still continued to
strengthen and increase these batteries in
number the rebel fleet thereafter was SUBJ
ject only to the fire OF local forts and the
Nietheroy shore batteries.
The insurgents, however, would have
been assailed Tomorrow from three quar-
ters at once-from the loyal forts, the city
batteries and the newly purchased Gov
ernment feet. Both sides had cleared for
action and Rio, fguratively speaking. was
holding her breath in expectation Of the
biggest fight of the rebellion.

IS WILLING TO SURRENDER,
But He Desires Protection for
Himself and Followers.
THE INSURGENTS CAUSE LOST.
Dynamite Guns of Peixoto's Fleet
and Notice of an Attack
Frighten the Rebels.

WASHINGTON. March 12.-Advices re-
ceived at the State Department late this
afternoon from Minister Thompson at Rio
Janer0 indicate that the Brazilian rebel
lion is about ended. The dispatches con-
tain the information that Admiral da
Cana went aboard the Portuguese war
vessel Mindelo and sent to President
Peixoto by a Portuguese officer an offer
of surrender on constion of full protec-
tion for himself and followers. The dis.
patches were in cipher. and, translated,
read as follows:
GRESHAM, Washington-Da Cana to-
day, through the senior Portuguese naval
commander, offered to surrender to the
President of Brazil providing he and his
followers were guaranteed protection
against punishment. THOMPSON"
"GreSham-Da Cana has gone aboard
the Portuguese man-of- war for asylum.
THOMPSON"
Considerable surprise was expressed
here that the offer of surrender should
have been made through the Portuguese
commander, who has not shown particu-
lar disposition to take hand in the con-
f1ict 1t is not thought, however, that the
action of the Portuguese In receiving Da
Cana Is necessarily an act of sympathy
with the insurgents. The Portuguese are
said to recognize principle of inter-
national law, now obsolete. by which the
right OF asylum is granted temporarily by
neutral power to defeated beiligerent.
Minister MeDdonca of Brazil this even
Ing admitted that he had received ne US of
the surrender, but was unwilling to give
out information concerning the exact terms
of Da Gama's offer of surrender or discuss
the probable action of the Brazilian Gov
eminent. He said. however, no doubt a
final settlement had been made or would
certainly be made tomorrow. The notice
Of intention OF the Brazilian fleet TO begin
an active attack on the insurgent feet had
been given Sunday at noon to neutral
forces in the harbor. This notice was
given forty-eight hours before firing was
to begin. According TO the arrangement
firing would not begin until Tuesday at
noon. Da Gama's offer of surrender was
made therefore twenty-four hours before
the attack was to be expected. The offer
OF surrender in fact followed the first
actual show Of determined force ON the
part of the Brazilian Government.
WASHINGTON, March 12.-Another dis
patch received tonight from Minister
Thompson contains the information that
Da Cana asks only that be and his officers
be allowed to leave the country and that
the lives of his private soldiers and sailors
be spared.
