URUGUAYAN UPRISING.
Engagement Has Already Occurred and


Federal Troops Were Defeated.
New York, March S.-The correspond
ent of the Herald in Montevideo. Uruguay
telegraphs that authorities of many i'm
portant towns in the republic have openly
given their allegiance to the insurgent
standard, offering aid with money and
men adding greatly to the strength of the
revolution and increasing the seriousness
of the situation. The government at
MOntevideO has dispatched to the interior
vast quantity of arms and the mobili
zatlon of the full strength of the colonial
guard. The government is all the more
anxious to get strong force in the field
as 1t Is known that an engagement has
already occurred in which the federal
troops were defeated. Many wounded
soldiers have already arrived in Monte
vldeo, but the officials will not give any
information.
1t Is stated, however, that the battle Oc-
Cured IN San Jose and was very severe.
1t Is ottcially announced that an engage
meht OF less magnitude occurred in Ia
cuarembo The government forces are
said to have been defeated there also.
The revolutionists are now known to
have nearly 5000 men under arms The
government has about 5000 troops already
IN the field and these can be reinforced
at any nioHlenI by 1UUO federal police as
well as men suitable to military duty who
are being rapidly modified. 1t is known

One group of the Redlick party which

white party.

LOAN ASSOCIATION CASE.
independent Answer Filed, Charging Col
fusion Between Officers and Counsel.

Knoxville, Tenn, March S.-The
Southern Building and Loan association
case came up in the federal court here
this morning. The sensational part Vi
the hearing was the filing of an indie
pendent answer in behalf of Albert But
tcrick of New York, and other stock
holders, represented by Russell, Wins,
low & Frumbergcr of New York and
George w. Easily of Chattanooga. ms
separate answer charges COLLISION be-
tween the officers and counsel of the asso-
citation in bringing the original suit, and
the appointment of Luttercll and Ross as
temporary receivers: alleges that the OH
Gers and directors of the association, in
Guiding its general counsel, are liable to
the association for large sums improper
ly paid out on Withdrawals, denies the
association is insolvcnt, and asserts that
if the officers are made to pay the asso-
citation the money improperly paid on
Withdrawals its solvcncy is unducstion-
able. The Butterick answer opposes
the continuance of Luttcrell and Ross as
receivers, and asks that n referee be ap-
pointed to inquire into the solvency of
the association and the liability of It's di-
rcctors and to report to the court.
The ground on which the answer is
based is that the counsel of the associa-
ton in its answer has not set up n prop
or statement. The association filed an
answer denying its insolvency, but it is
without sensation. and does not charge
the directors with liability, and admits
that while they have paid out dividends
in excess of earnings seeks to justify
their course in so doing.
Joshua w. Caldwell of Knoxville was
appointed by Judge Clark as referee to
examine into the solvency of the associ-
alton and report at the earliest practical
BILE day, not later than March 10. The
case was adjourned until the report shall
be made. when the question of perma-
ncnt receivers will he determined.
