Fanatics Descend Upon Brazilian Troops
with Fearful Loss of Life.

~ w. VI Aihes
The New York Herald's correspondent in
Rio Janeiro, Brazil, telegraphs that anthem
tic information has reached that city to the
effect that more than three thousand SOL
diers nave been killed in a big battle near
the site OF Canudos.
The fanatics, numbering more than ten
thousand men, all we'll armed, attacked tho
Government troops. Whole brigades OF
the soldiers were swept dow and des-
troyed, trampled under foot as the victor
ious fanatics with wild, hoarse shouts Of
triumph passed over them.
There Is no reasonable doubt that tho
loss in killed on both sides Is more Than
three thousand. For miles the ground
around Canudos was strewn with the dead
and dying, the government troops being
compelled to leave their dead on the field
and flee to save themselves from complete
destruction by the avalanche OF the ia
natics.
When the report of tho awful battle
reached Rio Janeiro, 1t was considered by
tho President and Ministry, and 1t was de-
cided to send the Minister Of War to tho
scene with 1000 mon, who are now gather
ing, They will carry with them q great
store of ammunition and will endeavor to

STATE AID FOR LEHIGH.
The University to Get $4,000 From tn
State of PennsYlXnnin.

Governor Hastings, Of Pennsylvania, ap-
proved the first and second specific appro-
priations, amounting to $50, 600, and dis
approved the third and fourth specific ap-
proprlations, amounting to $50, 900, in the
bill appropriating $500, 900 to the Lehigh
University at South Bethlehem. The first
two items arc for maintenance and general
expense and the other two were for general
educational purposes and special mainten-
ance OF the plant.
The trustees of tho Lehigh University
have authorized an emphatic denial of the
report that the university may be COM
PEELED to close Its doors in September. This
report was entirely unauthorized. The
university will be open as usual in Sep
tember, with all departments in full eifl-
cheney. Moreover, h trustees take
pleasure In saying that the appropriation
Of $3.50 900 by the State of Pennsylvania has
entirely relieved the university of any
anxiety arising out of the temporary md
partial failure OF its income, and that tho
prospects for its continued usefulness and
growth are In every way satisfactory and
encouraging.
The grant from the State will be made to
cover two years, whom, it is confidently ex-
pected, the income OF the university will
have been restored to its usual proportions.
