'"Pebcoto is triumphant. 'The insurgent
vessels surrendered last night, without
having answered with a single stiot the
cannonade from the government hilltop
batteries. . The insurgent forces deserted
Fort Villegagnon Monday night, leaving
their f! --'S flying, and took refuge oh the
islands Knchadea and Paqueta. There
was hot a soul on board the rebel ships
. during the bombardment. Admiral da
. Gntna left the harbor on the French ves
sel Junon, which returned today. It is
. not known whether the admiral is still
on board. All the insurgent officers ex
ept the surgeon have .fled. The Ameri-
. ' can officers of the government worships
came ashore this afternoon. '! i cy re
port that the crews'. of the vessels are.
well and delighted that they v won with
out a fight. Excepting the officers, no-,
body aboard Peixoto's men of war seems
to have been eager for a battle. In com
' ing np the harbor this morning the gov
ernment fleet saluted the United States1
flag and Rear-Admiral Benham. The
United States fleet will ; disperse
soon. The " men "- aboard, the
. American warships are in- excel
lent health. The end of insurgent
power in the harbor has been welcomed
with joy in the city. Exchange has im
proved 25 per cent, business again pro
ceeds as usual, and not a symptom of
disorder has appeared in the city. The
Aquidaban and Republican, which con
etituted . about all that is left of the in
surgent cause, are reported to be in
South Brazilian waters. Both are said
to.be disabled. Admiral de Mello has
just been seen in the streets of Monte
video. He has deserted his followers, as
Admiral de Gam a deserted his officers
and men in the harbor fleet. The in
surgent sailors here will be pardoned
and the officers will be court-martialed.
THIS 8AYS MELLO IS IN THE SOUTH.-
Buenos Ayrks; March 14. Admiral
de Mello is at Ilha Grande, 68 miles
southwest of Bio Janeiro, with the war
ships Aquidaban and Kepublica. It is
thought he will surrender.-'
A Poor Opinion of the Rebels.
New Yoek, March 14.' At the office
of the Brazilian consul this afternoon
one of the officials there was asked if
any news of the whereabouts of Ad
miral de Mello had been received. He
said :
"I do not know positively where he is,
but they might find him at his old busi
ness of trying to deplete the treasury
safe." I; too, have my doubts of Da
Gama's honesty of purpose. He may
De simply borrowing time. The presi
dent is prepared for such tricks, how
ever. His eyes are open. He is wide
awake, and neither Da Gama nor Mello
can fool him. He will not rest until he
has both in his clutches."
"What do you think he will do with
them then?" . .
"Just this. He will not shoot them

A RESERVOIR BURSTS.'
The Town of " Nsmps' Flooded and
Twenty Railroad- Bridges Gone.
Boise, Idaho, March 14. News was
received in this city this evening that
the Indian creek reservoir burst its
rocky barricade at 2 o'clock this morn
ing, the water sweeping down , upon
ranches and villages, carrying destruc
tion 'and ruin in its path. The reservoir
was constructed of solid masonry, and
covered 500 acres of land, and was said
to contain sufficient water to irrigate
many thousand acres. It cost $50,000 to
build it. The country between Risuka
and Caldwell is all under .water. All
the railroad bridges between Nampa and
Risuka, twenty in number, are washed
ont, and many miles of railroad .track is
submerged, which will prevent trains
from running for many days. The dam
broke about noon, and messengers were
sent at breakneck speed on horseback to
warn settlers and urge families to hasten
to places of safety. A mighty wall of
water came sweeping down Indian creek,
bearing on - its bosom houses, barns,
farming utensils and livestock of all
kinds', and submerging whole farms on
both, sides of the creek. The citizens of
Nampa,. a town on. the Oregon Short
Line, saw the approach of the devastat
ing waters "and -fled to-high ground.
Soon all the lower part of town' was
under water from five to twenty feet
deep. Fifty houses at least are ruined,
and many families are without shelter
and bedding. , Merchants are loaning
blankets to destitute families: and pro
visions are being furnished to those in
need. ' It is reported here . that two
men were drowned, one while attempt
ing to .save his property, . and another
who rushed to his assistance. ." The cause
of the disaster was the sudden turn of
the weather, coupled with heavy, rains,
which caused a rapid melting of Snow in
the mountains. Snake river rose eight
feet today, a fact unparalleled in its his
tory. This part of Idaho has had the
heaviest fall of snow this winter known
for many years, and this melting. rapidly
filled the creeks and burst the dam.
The property is a. .total loss. So far
Mountain home reservoir is safe, but
fears are entertained that it will share
the fate of its Indian-creek neighbor.
The loss is very great, and it may cause
the loss of the great orchards which the
reservoir has supplied with water.
BOATNEK'S PROPOSED BILI..
He "Wants Action Brought Against
the
Union Pacific.
Washington, March 14. One of the
most important propositions submitted
to this congress will be presented to the
house tomorrow by Representative
Boatner of Louisiana. The proposition
will recite the numerous defaults-of the
Union Pacific railroad and contiguous
lines to meet the debt due the United
States. It will charge the present and
past directors of the road with' violation
of their trust, improper absorption of
ontside lines and voting dividends con
trary to law and against the interests
of the United States. It will direct
that the president appoint special' conn'
sel to institute suit against the -present
and past directors, their heirs and legal
representatives, to collect $35,000,000 and
interest. With the interest the amount
in litigation would exceed $60,000,000. It
would be , the biggest lawsuit in the
history of the country. The proposition
goes into the history of the operation of
the Union. Pacific and arraigns the di
rectors sharply. - It will be referred to
the judiciary committee, of which Boat
ner is chairman-.
Death on the Track. g
Boise, . Idaho, March 14.: Passenger
train No. 2; east-bound,' on the Oregon
Short Line, was ditched four miles be
yond Mountain - Home last night, and
three tramps were killed, one of them
boy of 14 ; the engineer, Evan Williams,
fatally wounded ; the .fireman, Betone,
slightly wounded, and the mail clerks,
Mah'on and Tipton, seriously wounded.
The accident was the result . of . the
excessive rains, and occurred in a 40-foot
cut through the chalk bluffs. Mud had
washed down from the bluff until it
covered the track to a depth of eight feet
and as the cut is on a curve, the engineer
did not see the obstruction, and dashed
into it at fall speed. The locomotive
was overturned and the baggage, postal
and express cars were ditched and smash
ed to splinters.

except in sugar and coffee. The former
is firm, with slighj advances reported in
Portland and a slight decline in coffee
since the collapse of the Brazilian insur

Poisoning from Charcoal.
A new form of lead paralysis has ap
peared in Paris among the hands of a
chemical charcoal factory. The char
coal was rendered more combustible
by being- treated by nitrate, and thus
better fitted for lighting fires. Nitrate
of soda or potash ought to be used for
this purpose, but the factory proprie
tor found it more advantageous to use
nitrate of lead, which increased the
weight of the product. . Naturally, the
workmen soon exhibited symptoms of
lead poisoning. It is proposed to pass
a law forbidding the dangerous process
under penalty of a heavy fine and im
prisonment.- . . .''.'.,

been done heretofore, but will so mete
out justice as to cause those engaged in
violating the law to quake in their boots
when they come before him. . Good for

A Dangerous Invention.. - . -
'.Mr. D. Parker, an old trapper ""and
mountaineer, has invented an ingenious
device for shooting bears. It is a piece
of a heavy rifle, about nine inches long,
arranged with a breech loading appa
ratus, two wires running through eyes
at each side of the barrel at the front,
with barb hooks at the ends on which to
fastep the bait. '. The other ends are con
nected with a brass collar that slips over
the back part of the breech and which
releases a spring hammer, when the
animal pulls at the bait, discharging the
contents of a' cartridge . right into' the
animal's mouth. The trap is set so that
it can be approached -only from one
direction, thus insuring - death to the
animal or person, who attempts to pull
the bait off. Mr. Parker has applied
for a patent for the "infernal machine,"
but as such a machine, would be very
dangerous to have around it is not likely
it will be patented.
Deserving Praise .
We desire to say to our citizens, that
for years we have been, selling Dr.
King's New Discovery for Consumption,
Dr. King's ITew Life Pills, Bucklen's
Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters,' and
have never handled remedies that sell as
well, or that have given such universal
satisfaction. -We do not hesitate to
guarantee them every time, as we stand
ready to refund the purchase price, if
satisfactory results do not follow their
use." There , remedies have won their
great popularity purely on their merits.
