Brazil Ends The Revolution With
A Great Slaughter.
New York, Oct. 13.-A dispatch
to the Herald from Buenos Ayres
says:
Advices from the Herald's cor
respondent in Rio JeneirO, Brazil,
says the details of the last big
battle at Canudos have reached
that city.
There is no longer any doubt of
the death of Antonio ConselheirO,
the fanatic leader. He was killed
early in the battle, but the fact
of his death did not become gen
orally known until after the fight
ing had been going on for several
hours. When they learned of
it the fanatics, who, up to that
time had been fighting savagely,
lost courage and were killed by
| the hundreds.
COnseldeirO's body was found
in one of the streets of CanudOs.
Around him were the bodies of
about hundred of his personal
guard who had died in a last des-
perate fight to save their chief.
The bodies were fearfully hacked
and mutilated. Beside the body
of COnselheirO lay an imperial
