of her most important public offices,

fresh in popular memory.
Less than two years ago the Bra

rosa Christina, restoring them to a
throne of memory. Dom Pedro had
heen compelled to leave the country by
the rebellion which eliminated IN the

With Dom Pedro. his Empress wife,
and his daughter, Princess Isabel,
were also obliged to leave and went to
Portugal never to return alive to their
native country.
Princess Isabel, known as the Re-
dempteress." having signed a decree.
freeing slaves in Brazil while she was
acting regent during a visit of her
father to Europe, died recently in
France. The staunchest republicans
were the most sympathetic mourners
over her loss.
The press was unanimous in voicin5
affection and esteem for '"the Re-
dempteress." One paper, in an obitu-
airy to Isabel, said:
perhaps one of the sweetest men,
cries of Brazilian history centerS
around the Princess Isabel. Her mo-
tives, her influences at court and over
the nation, her righteous convictions
all sprang from a heart that was noble

NATIONALS
GAIN VICTORY
OVER |RREGULARS
VictOrs Take Ballyhaunis; Van
quished Retreating To-
ward Mountains.

Dublin, July 24.-(By The Associ-
ated Press).-National army troops
nave gained a fresh victory in West
Ireland by capturing Ballyhaunis, county
Mayo, from the republican irregulars,
1t was announced Monday.
The Free State triumphs in the cap
ture of Limerick was swiftly followed
by successes in the surrounding district.
A number of minor positions in this
area have been added to the list Of
free state victories. according to Mon
days official bulletin.
The total number of casualties in the
Limerick fighting has not been ac-
curately estimated. although it is known
that at least 10 of the national troops
were killed and 81 wounded. 1t is gem
orally believed that at least 30 of the
%lrregulars lost their lives.
Unconfirmed reports Monday said the
lrregulars were retreating with all
speed into the Galtee and Knockema-
down montains harrassed by Free State
troops, who are pressing them hard and
preventing their concentrating for re-
sistance.
A Waterford dispatch says the ir-
regulars have burned the barracks at
Clonmel and Tipperary. which had long
been held AS garrisons and it is be
ieved the national army forces have
occupied both these places.
The correspondent says it is believed
the pressure being exerted by the ma
tional troops upon both flanks of the
republicans will compel them to make a
stand. Perhaps their last, in these
mountains.
Other correspondents doubt whether
they will be able to make a stand any
where. although they do not draw the
conclusion that an early end of resist
ance can be expected. They believe the
republicans will continue guerrilla ope-
%rations in the widest parts of the
mountains. The possibility that the re
treating %irregulars may yet reach Cork
and make a last desperate stand there
is still entertained in some quarters.
The various views. however. obviously
are largely speculative since none of
them can be verified except by the
general turn of events.
