cause the Insurgents Defeated
His Forces.

SAN DIEGO. CAL, Dec. 30.-South
American mails received to-day indicate
the speedy downfall OF the Uruguayan
Government. President Borda has proven
very unpopular. The two political fac
tions-the Reds supporting Borda, and
the Whites, sympathizing with the revo-
lutionists-have reached the fighting stage.
Several battles took place early this
month. Borda has sent his Minister of
War. General Diaz, to the front, with two
battalions, to take personal charge of the
campaign and is said to have exac;ed
that officers head as the penalty of de-
feat. Owing to the defeat of the Govern
ment forces at Caplls de Farruco by
Aparcia Saraiva, the friends of the Govern
ment are fast deserting it, and rumors
were abroad in Montevideo of the gather
ing of men high in political power looking
to the removal of President Idiarte BorGa
and the substitution of sriumvirate
The Government troops, in their disas-
trous encounter with Saraiva, were com
manded by Colonel Rodriguez. The force
comprised the Fourth Cavalry AMI the
Durazno police. Rodriguez was killed and
his force routed. The regiment was re-
duced by one-half in killed and wounded.
The insurgent loss is unknown.
After this battle the Government hur-
ried troops forward and a still more de-
cisive battle between Saraiva and Major
Barriola was fought. The Government
announced that Saraiva had been killed
and his force dispersed, but Saraiva re-
turned again with larger force than ever,
augmented by troops that had been raised
in Argentine. The uprising now extends
to the districts of Facuaremba, Cerro
Largo, Salto, Paisandu, Artigas and Con-
cordia.
The White party is continually receiving
additions of arms and mmunition. An
expedition of insurgents evaded the
authorities of Argentine and sailed from
Punta Chica, Uruguay, arriving safely
with large supply of dynamite, Win
chester and Chassepot rifles and ammu-
tion.
The British cruisers Piemonte and Ret
ribut1on arrived at Montevideo on Decem
ber 10 guard British interests. The
United States cruiser Lancaster sailed
from Buenos Ayres on the Sd for Monte
video, to represent this country at the
center of trouble.
The city of Montevideo is practically
deserted anu LrOuDie is Ieareu Jnere at any
time. The Government palace and mu-
nicipal headquarters are doubly guarded.
The Government has declared martial law
all over the republic and the National
Guards have been modified for service in
the field.
The steamer San Martin arrived at Mon.
teyideo OH Decemb Der and was fired upon
by the Government troops, who were in
three steam launches in the har Dor. The
San Martin hailed from Buenos Bvres and
carried passengers and cargo. 1t was sus-
pected OF secretly aiding the rebels. The
captain protested to the Government.
The Montevideo public is almost unit
in wishing the downfall OF President
Borda. The White party is declared 10
be the party of peace, honesty and reform.
Borda is alleged to have been guilty of
gross malfeasance in office.

ALUMINIUM FOR AIRsHIPS.
Order Placed With a PHts6gro Firm nv
the Pacific Aeriai Navigation
Coup11E

PITTSBURG, Pa, Dec. 30.-The Pitts
burg Times tomorrow will say: The
stories recently reported from San Fran
CISCO of a company engaged in the opera
tion of successful airships are apparently
borne ont by an order. accompanied by
detailed specifications, given to Pitts
burg firm. The Plttsburg Reduction Com
pany will ship in few days $1,000 worth
of manufactured aluminium to the Pacific
Aerial Navigation Company at San Fran
cisco, to be used in the construction Of
airships. The order was given about two
weeks ago. Aluminium, being very
light metal, is especially adapted for use
in airships.
No description OF the airship accom-
panied the order, further than such as re-
lated to the metal works. 1t is probable,
however, from the length of the tubes,
etc., that the whole machine will be about
15n feet long and will accommodate several
persons. It will be built on the aeropIane
system, and will have two wings eighteen
feet wide and rudder shaped like bird s
tail.

7ES7iFlES AGAINST ScHWElzER.
Witness De MaHos Says the Fresno Har-
ness Dealer Tired to Hire Him
to Commit Murder

FRESNO. CAL, Dec. 30.-The Grand
Jury is now at work in earnest investigat-
ing the mystery surrounding the attempt
ed murder of Solomon Lehman, mill
owner, last summer, in which the name
of Charles Schweizer, one of the city's
leading merchants, has been very unpieas-
antly connected. The witnesses before the
jury to-day were I. De Marias. who says
that Schweizer tried to hire him to kill
Lehman, and to whom John Barker, now
dead, confessed to the shooting.
Mrs. lehman, the wife of the intended
victim of the conspiracy; Carolina Leh-
mann, who received the charge OF shot
meant for her father; Al Henry, who
alleges that John Harrison, the detective
who worked up the case against Schweizer,
made a proposition TO him for hush
money; and Constable William Shaw,
who has made some Investigations of the
case.
Schweizer may be called to testify to-
morrow. Harrison and Lehman are
still on the coast, and it cannot be ascer-
tanned if the Grand Jury has sent sub
penas for them.

RA|SN-GROWERS
AND THE TARIFF
Resolution Wired to Con-
gresham Bowers From
Fresno.
Favors a Three-Cent Duty on
the Product of American
Vines.
The Representative Will Present an
Argument for the Proposed
Import Tax.

FRESNO, CAL, Dec. 30.-The joint meet
ing of the Cham Der OF Commerce, the
Hundred Thousand Club and the raisin-
growers this afternoon, to supply Con-
gressman Bowers with information he
desires relative to the industry, in order
that he might present as strong an argu-
ment as possible for sufficient i'm port
duty Oh the product. was well attended,
Notwithstanding the rain. The assem- blage
organized by eleciing O. ]. Woodward
president and E. +. Bern hard secretary.
Those present were representative business
men OF the city and owners and managers
of vineyards.
After discussion of considerable length
it was decided to ask Congress to impose
a tariff of cents pound on raisins, and
q resolution to that effect was tonight
telegraphed to Mr.. Bowers at Washington.
The meeting was unanimous in the
opinion that cents would be reason
able duty. The present rate, III cents, is
too low to place the local products in fair
competition with the imported in the
Eastern markets. Several of the growers
submitted accounts of expenditures anu
receipts of their vineyards for a season,
and it was found that the cost of placing
raisins in the sweatbox ranged from 2L to
3 cents pound. w. H. Hodgkins' ac-
count showed that in the past year he ex-
pended S51 to every ton of raisins ready
for market and he had conducted his vine
yard on a very economical basis. Other
accounts averaged about the same and
some higher. Considering the heavy
freight charges to the East it can readily
be seen that the home industry needs SUBJ
stantial protection.
These points were brought out forcibly
in discussion, which vas participated in
by T. G. White. w. f. Forsey. H. A. Ire
veylan, John S. Dore and others. There
was not hint of party lines, all being
united in the effort to have established a
rate OF duty the industry deserves. Messrs.
o. ]. Woodward, w. f. Forsey, A. L..
Hobbs and e. F. Bernard were selected as
committee to telegraph the action of the
meeting to the Congressional represe nta-
tive. The following is copy of the mes
sage sent tonight:
Alta joint meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce the Hundred Thousand Club and the
raisin- growers of Fresno County resolu ton
per pound as duty on raisins, currants and
dried grapes. Other information requested in
your letter will be forwarded by mail.
The committee will meet tomorrow to
examine the accounts kept by the various
vineyardists, and from these the answers
to the questions asked by Mr.. Bowers will
be compiled. This will be done with all
possible dispatch, as the Congressman de-
sires the data Immediately. The Repre-
sentative has announcei his intention of
making a vigorous fight in behalf of the
industry. He appreciates the adverse con-
ditions which beset the growers and the
need of an import duty on raisins which
will give the industry deserving encour-
agement. There is reason to hope that be
will succeed in raising the rate to that
asked by the producers.

NOVEL SPORT At STOCKTON.
Prominent Men to Participate in Indoor
Baseball and Football Contests
FIR chnEIfY

STOCKTON, CAL, Dec. 30-Half the
pc pie in Stockton will be on hand on
New Years night in the Agricultural
Pavilion to see the indoor sports for the
benefit of the Children's and Old Peoples
Home. The affair has been the talk of
the town for week, and the local papers
have run so many ludicrous articles abou.
the games and the players that public
curiosity has been excited to the highest
pitch. Some of the most prominent men
in the city are TO participate in the affair.
Indoor baseball and fooi ball are new
features in Stockton. The ball used is
much larger than the ordinary and is
filled with some soft material. Much of
the interest in the game lies in the efforts
OF the players to conquer the eccentrici-
ties of the ball. The bats, too, are diff
ferent from those ordinarily used.
G. II. Morey, one of Stockton's leading
groeers, and John w. kerrick son of the
County Treasurer, are managers of the
respective teams. Morey's team will be
made up as follows: Pitcher, Fred Chase;
catcher, Carl Salbach; first base, w. R.
base, George Campbell right shortstop
Charles Black; left shortstop. F. A. Pol
lard; right field, Thomas Hefferan; left
field, C. H. Morey. Kerrick's team will
be composed of the following players
Pitcher, Harry Hewlett; catcher, John W.
kerrick; first base, c. B. Hart; second
base, Willis Norton; third base, John
Perrott. Jr.; right shortstop, +. Wurster;
left shortstor, Fred Eckstrom; right field,
Otto Grunsky left field, Will Mckee.
Umpires-Behind pitcher, George Harper,
the well-known professional pitcher; at
first Attorney w. NJ. Gibson; at second,
Attorney A. l.. Levinsky; at third Mayor
Baggs. All are prominent in social and
commercial circles.
Preceding this entertaining contest there
is to be game OF football between the
High School and Athletic Association
elevens. The floor of the big pavilion has
been covered with eighteen inches of saw
dust, packed down, to prevent accidents.
1t is expected that the affair will net the
charity for which it is given several thou
sand dollars.
