A "Person In Authority" in England Ex-
plains Things Somewhat.
RIO JANEIRo. July 2o.-There is grow
ing excitement in this city over the occu.
patton of the island Of Trinidad by the
English. The government has dispatched
two notes to the British legation Of en-
phatic protest, quoting the order of the
British admiralty Of 1882, by virtue of
which Trinidad was evacuated by tho
English and restored to Portugal.
LONDON, July 25.-Referring to the
statement cabled from New York that
Brazil has formally protested against
Great Britain's claim to the island of
Trinidad, person in authority who was
questioned ON the subject by the repro.
sentative of the Associated Press, says the
British title to that island dates from the
year 1900, when possession was taken Of
it without any objection upon the part Of
Portugal. 1t was added that hitherto
Brazil has not advanced any claim to the
island of Trinidad. but the British gov
ernment is ready to discuss in a friendly
spirit any repres entations which Brazil
may wish to make on the subject.

largest land owner in the district, while
his opponent was o comparatively I'M.

tions, SO far as returned. leave the state
of the parties as follows: Conservatives,

McCarthyites. 80; Labor. g; total opposi-
ton, 2l7. The net Conservative gain
thus far is 81.
There was a serious riot shortly before

United States engineer deparement, and
William Mann, of Oshkosh, assistant
engineer in charge Of the Fox river, ar
rived in the city and with a committee
from Appleton went down the river,
making u thorough examin alton of the
condition Of navigation and the water
power. The silent mills and factories
and grass-grown river bed excited sur
prise among the government party.
After looking over the water power
General Doe was escorted to the council
rooms, where he met manufacturers and
business men and listened to arguments
and statistical statements regarding the
situation. The outcome of the conference
cannot be forecast, but the situation
speaks for itself, and confidence is felt
that General Doe cannot fail to realize
that some relief Is an imperative neces-
sity, and that he will SO modify the shut.
down order as to provide such relief.

Tho Marshal Stands by his Honor.
II had only $500 men with me, but !
did not think it honorable to retreat, and
also thought that the numbers Of the
enemy were exaggerated, and conse.
quentiy proceeded on my march, and
eventually met the enemy near Peralljos,
about three leagues south of Bayamo.
My column was commanded by the I'm.
fortunate General Santocildcs- When
the latter was killed in action took com.
mand The battle was a hard fought
one. The field was most unfavorable for
the operations of our troops. The enemy
numbered three times more than we did,
was we'll supplied with ammunition, and
fought skillfully. We were surrounded
by fire on four sides, and there were two
moments Of danger. The firing lasted
five hours, and it was followed by another
hour of fighting. in which our rear guard
was engaged.
"Our losses in killed are the gallant
General Santocildes; his adjutant, Jose
Sotomayor; Captain Emzbio Tomas. and
twenty five soldiers, and our wounded
Luis Robles, First Lieutenant Francisco
Sanchez Ortega, Captain Travesi and
ninety -four soldiers. I cannot ascertain
they are over 500. General Suarez Valdez
