Nothing else was talked OF in South
American revolutionary circles in FourA
tesntb street yesterday but the surprising
news from Brazil that Gen. Sebastian
MagaIi and his intrepid band OF scr9ppegs
had arrived at BaEie ON their way to Mihas
Geraes and had played q matinee perform
anOe with the State troops. with tho result
that AIaGaIi and his followers had been
jugged after one OF his sraR had been killed
aud another wounded. .'
The members Of the south American
Sous Of Revolution all said positively tha.
Gen. Magali was around Fourteenth street
not over a month ago, borrowing Carfars
occasionally from his brOthAr revolution
lists. and they didn't see just how he had
managed 20 pull or the expedition TO Minas
Geraes. in view Of the fact that his plans
contemplated raising SSOO, 600 first.
The Rio de Janeiro correspondent OF the
London Daily Mail doesn't say whether
Gen. Magali had with him when he landed
the hundred lighting men that he once said
would he enough to wallop the police and
standing army Of MiOss Gwaes but he did
cable that the General was aided by British,
Canadians and Americans. and that It was
reported in Rio that he had raised about
fiNO 600 in New York and London.
Furthermore. after the big fight. in which
Major Davies. an Englishntan. was killed
and Lieut. Gordon was wounded and taken
prisoner. the Daily Mars correspondent
says the filibusters reireated and werc
chased to the sea, where they were sur
rounded and all tosen prisoners.
