INSTRUCTION,
Are Surprised and Defeated
Many BraziIians Killed by FanaticaI
Insurgents,

New YORK, March 1O.-The Her
AIDS correspondent in Rio de Janeiro
telegraIhs important details Of the
serious defeat of the federal troops by
the fanatical insurgents In the state
of Bahia on Sunday. The news of the
disaster was at first denied at Rio
J~annciro, and q paper was sup
pressed because it published bulletins
from the battle-ground. 1t is never
theless a fact that the BraZillians fell
into an ambush, which was cleverly
laid by the fanatics, and before recov-
tring from the surprise the federal
vanguard was annihilated and the
remainder of the force, as it caE. up
to the point where the fanatics were
ambushed, was assailed and suffered
very severe losses.
The most serious part of the disaster
was not known in the ranks Of the
Brazilians until after they had re-
treated 10 a place of safety, when it
Was found that Colonel MOreirf Gaze
sar. the chief officer in command,
was missing. A scouting party was
Immediately sent back TO the field
where the engagement occurred and
there the body of Colonel Caesar was
discovered.
Colonel Tamarindo and several
other officers were also killed and 200
privates and many officers were
wounded. The fanatics captured a
number of prisoners, foul guns, with
their caissons, and a large amount of
ammunition.
News Of the disaster has aroused
great excitement in the Brazilian cap
ital accompanied by some disorder.
The monarchists were especially the
objects of popular wrath and a mob
destroyed the offices Of the newspaper
organs of that party, including the
influential Gazetta Jarde
1t has been decided by the governor
that General Arturoscar shall succeed
Colonel Caesar as commander of the
federal forces in Bahia where the
campaign against the fanatics will be
pushed with renewed vigor.
Your correspondent had an inter
view with President Moraes in regard
to the situation in Bahia. The presi-
dent stated that he believed that the
outbreak in the state was due to
political intrigue. He added that
strenuous exertions would be made in
spite Of such intrigues to unite al
parties in the common defense of the
constituted authorities for the sup
preston of the rebellion.
