 REMAIN IN AMERICA

New York, July 22.--A pitched bat tie was fought in Brooklyn today be- tween immigration inspectors and a band of twenty-four gypsies, who were being deported to South America. The trouble had its origin in the refusal of the gypsies to board the steamer Vir- die, which was to take them to Buenos Ayres.
 Tn the heat of the melee. several chil- dren of the band were injured by req son of their parents using them as shields. In several instances the pa rents pushed the bodies of children against the inspectors who were trying to drive them from tug to the steam CT. One little girl was unconscious when the vessel sailed with the gyp- sies.
 The gypsies believed they were to be returned to Russia. their home, and when they realized that they must go hack to south America, which country they had just left. their rage knew no bounds.
 The women fought with more fury than the men. One ragged dame used an iron camp kettle whenever she got within reach of hostile head, When the Verdie sailed. her unwilling pas- aenRers were huddled astern. nursing their wounds.
