DEATH OF GEN. TELLEs.
Details of the Defeat of the Braailian
Governments.

Details Of the Defeat Of the Bra.ilian
Government.
LISBON, Jan. 15.-Count De Paco d. d'Arcos.
Portuguese minister to Brazil. arrived here
last evening from Rio Janeiro.
1t was reported some time ago that Count
d'Arcos was detained in Rio Janeiro by
order Of the Brazilian government, but this
report was subsequently contradicted.
Details of the defeat of the government
force. under Gen. Telles. which attacked
the Ilha do Governador on December Is,
have reached this city by mail. The island
had been occupied by the insurgents since
September. President Peixoto had been led
to believe that the capture of the island
would be an easy task, owing to the alb
sence of any movement on the island de-
roting that the insurgents there were in
force. The attack was therefore ordered
The government troops were conveyed to
the island and landed without the slightest
opposition being offered to them In fact
the government forces saw nobody while
effecting their landing. Thinking that the
island was practically theirs without a
struggle, the troops advanced carelessly,
and marched directly into an ambuscade
the insurgents had prepared for them
Suddenly a deadly fire was poured into
them. and before they could rally and form
ranks to repel the enemy the insurgents
sprang from their hiding places ana
charged Gen. Telles' command with fixed
bayonets. The ground was covered with
the slain.
Gen. Telles was one of the first to be
struck down. He was hit in both legs with
shot from a machine gun.
Admiral Da Cana, the leader of the in
surgents, permitted the removal Of Gen.
Telles to the mainland for medical attend
ance. 1t was found necessary to amputate
both his legs. Death from shock and loss
of blood followed soon after the operation
had been performed.
The route of the government troops was
complete. Some of them to escape the in
surgents threw themselves into the sea.
Others sought to gain the interior of the
island. but were either shot TO bayoneted
by the insurgents.

As stated briefly in Saturdays Star, the
proposed passage-at-arms between Corbett
and Mitchell to determine the pugilistic
championship of the world has taken on a
local aspect, through the possibility OF

tion on Anastasia Island, near st. Angus

gested as a means of getting beyond the
jurisdiction Of the civil authorities. Ii the
managers Of the affair have any such idea
the sooner they dismiss II the better for
their plans. Star reporter investigated
the matter at the War Department today
and learned that Secretary Lament is op-
posed to prize fighting per Sc, and that
he would never consent to the desecration
of a public reservation in such a way The
reservation at Anastasia is under the SUPER
vision Of Gen. Howard, at New York, COM
manding the department of the east, and
application for its use for private purposes
would have to be approved by him in the
first instance. 1t would also have to be
approved by the Secretary Of War.

In China the beggars are organized
into companies, each having its own
district and all owing allegiance and
paving tribute to king of the beg
gars," who lives in almost regal splen-
dor. Every beggar has his own beat,
bevond which he is not allowed, under
penalty of severe punishment, to go.
He is permitted to visit each house on
his beat once, and but once, every day,
and on making his appearance at the
door if his appeal for charity be not at
once attended he may shout, sing, ring
a bell, or make any other noise he
nleases until he has received one
cash" the smallest copper coin in use,
after which he must move on. Some
merchants, to save time and trouble,
have frame hung in front of their
houses with as many nails driven into
it as there are beggars in the district.
Every morning a servant hangs a
''cash'' on each nail, and each beggar
comes in turn, takes one coin and
moves on.-Chicago Times.
