MUT|NEERS IN BLOODY Fight.
TWO HUNDRED MUTINEERS AND
MANY CIVILIANS KILLED AND
WOUNDED.
Land Batteries, Two Xyarships and
Several DestrOyers Took Part in
BOmbardment Which Lasted the
Entire Evening.

Rio Janeiro, Dec. 11.-Government
troops are again in control of the gar
rison on Cobra Island, and the second
mutiny of the naval forces has ended
with a heavy casualty list, which will
probably prevent further risings for
some time.
The mutineers, who composed a
battalion of the marine corps, num-
bered about 500 men. of those 20 /,
were either killed o. wounded today.
Two hundred citizen were either
killed or wounded wh.le watching the
bombardment from streets OF along
the waterfront. MaEy government
buildings were damaged, including
the treasury, the foreign office and
the departments Of public works and
telegraphs.
Two land batteries, two warships
and several destroyers took part in
the bombardment and twice in the
engagement an armistice was allowed
for the removal of the dead and
wounded. Firing ceased entirely late
in the evening, but no actual sur
rer der OF the rebels occurred, the
cor. handlers of the government forces
deeming it the wiser course to await
the coming of day.
The destroyers, however, were sta
toned within easy range Of the island
so as to prevent the escape Of mutt
neers. Toward midnight several boats
put out and men could be seen swim
ming, evidently with the intention OF
reaching the mainland. The destroy
ers took them prisoners.
The chamber Of deputies met today
to discuss the subject Of a special ses-
sion. The government believes it has
the situation we'll in hand, for aside
from a few malcontents the army and
navy are lowal. Strict censorship is
being maintained, but conditions
within the city are normal.
The scout ship Rio Grande do Soul
fired the first shot in the revolt, turn
ing her guns on the city. The heavy
bombardment by both land batteries
and warships caused a panic in Rio
Janeiro in the early hours Of yester-
day and frightened and wounded peo-
pie fled in all directions.
According to the newspapers the
causes leading to the second revolt
are trivial most Of the demands made
by the men in the last mutiny having
been granted by the government

Hardy, Ark, March 81, 1910.
To the editor of Star Herald:
An article in the Mammoth Spring
Democrat on the 18th, in part said
"that w. g. Ellis was made the
victim of political plot in his re-
cent circuit court trial W er e i n
Judge Meeks was to be injured in
his race for reelection" Is being
freely predicted on every hand.
The people say that the object was
to convict Ellis of murder in the
first degree, if possible, th err e b y
showing to the voters that Judge
Meeks had no authority in the ex-
amining trial to grant Ellis bail.
If this be true the plot failed most
signally. Our friend Dave King,
it is said exerted his best efforts to
convict Ellis; also our friends G. E.
Elmore and Kay &N orthcutt, spread
themselves. The outgrowth of the
cese was certainly great victory
for Meeks and Ellis.
Then, further on in said editorial
the Democrat said ''now we are not
going to believe that there was
political plot to convict Ellis al
though the entry of D. L. King in.
tolthe prosecution makes it seem so''
Now 1, for myself, will say that
any intimation that | entered into
or had any knowledge of politi-
cal plot to convict Ellis is absolute.
ly and maliclously false. 1t seems
that the Democrat would make it
appear that, the entry of d. l..
into the prosecution was very sud
den. The facts are that long be-
f)re became candidate for Judge
