A BRAZILIAN ATTACK French Mining Expedition Fired Upon. FIGHT OCCUREn IN CACHIPOUR Sevaral Frenchmen Were Killed anil UtlierH Taken Prisoners--Boundary Settlement May lie Delayed. Kingston, Jamaica, Feb, 10. Details of fresh trouble between French colonists at Cayenne and the Brazilians in the trans-Amazonian province of Brazil, which may lead to further diplomatic trouble before an arbitration agreement is reached, have been received here. A French mining expedition into the Cachipour district, in the disputed terri tory from which it was agreed that all troops be withdrawn pending a settle ment, was met by u force of Brazilian rangers and made prisoners after a fight, in which one or two French citizens were shot. The party was under the leader ship of a Frenchman named Tibert. They ascended the Cachipour river with out any interferenctauntil their arrival at Degrad Fifine landing, where they commenced erecting "wikyups." Be fore the party had got throuh with their work 150 armed Brazilians fired upon them from ambush-without challenge. Tilbert naturally supposed that he was being attacked by brigands, and as this was to be looked ior, tbe fire was re turned. But it at once became apparent that they had to deal with a large body of soldiers and not a few wandering bri gands. Tilbert then ordered hia men ta stop firing, but the soldiers continued to fire, and many of the party plunged into the river and attempted to get away in boats. They were fired on in the water and one or two were killed, while Borne others escaped and made their way down tbe river. Tilbert and the rest of the men were made prisoners. Fearing a reprisal from the French, Perez sent to Para tcf ask for reinforce ments, but according to advices the gov ernor of Cayenne decided to take no action in the way of reprisal, but has eent a protest against the disturbance of the status quo to Para and laid the matter before hia government at Paris. Meanwhile all private mining opera tions in the disputed terrltoy have been euspenped. DOES HOT LIKE UOVNOABY THE AT V Bitter Attuok Made by Prominent Ven ecuelan. New York, Feb. 10. A dispatch to the Herald from CuracaB, Venezuela, Bays : Benor Michelen,, formerly in the dip jonifttlc service of Venezuela and the last minister from this country to Eng land, has agafn attacked t the Anglo. Venezuelan treaty in terms' of great bit terness. The animadversions are con tained in a letter which is published in tbe Pregonoro. Senor Michelen introduces his attack on the treaty and the protocol which preceded it with a virulent arraignment of England and her policy in foreign af fairs and the motices of Secretary Olney in his negotiations on the boundary con vention. He directly charges tbe secretary of state at Washington of conspiracy, and declares that Great Britain is always ar rogant with weaker nations, while with her equals in power she is cowardly to a degree. A meeting of workinemen took place at Washington Plaza, at which was dis cussed the candidacy for the presidency of General Hernandez. The meeting was broken up in an uncermonious manner by a strong division oi the zouaves, who invaded the place, and, aided by superior numbers, proclaimed Rojas Paul as the candidate for the workingmen. Swallowed Up 11 y the Sea. Richmond, Va., Feb. 10. Cobb's islands, a famous summer resort and life-saving station, six miles off the Vir ginia coast in the Atlantic ocean, seeme to be doomed to annihilation by the ac tion of the sea. A terrible storm swept the island last October, wrecked the main hotel and flooded the island, making a trench across tbe center. Since then the dis integration has been steady, until re cently, when high tides submerged tbe island and washed nearly all the build ings into the surf. The hotel, church and a number of cottages have been de stroyed, and the life-saving station and a few cottages are all that is left. The captain of tbe life-saving station, from whom this information is received, says there is no longer any doubt that tbe island is doomed, and only phenom enal action of wind and waves could possibly require it. The life-saving station, which- was re cently moved back from the encroaching sea, is now less than 200 feet from tbe waves. Lower Rata on Wool. Chicago, Feb. 10.

Gkakd Island, Neb., Feb. 10. A mys terious doable suicide has occured here. Two well-dressed-men arrived in this city from the East and inquired for the best hotel in the city, Only one regist ered, saying he would do so for both. The name on the register is very vaguely written, evidently made 90 purposely, but looks like R. A. Newcoin, and the residence is given as Billings, Mont. About noon the men were found in their room dead. All the gas jets in the room were open full, and one jet, placed very high up, and of which no possible use could be made for lighing purposes was also open. Neither man had any baggage other than a small grip, and this contained nothing but two shirts and a few collars. They were all new, and bore the stamp of a Chicago firm. With this exception, there is nothing to indicate from where they came. The coroner's jury could obtain no light on the case and returned a verdict of suicide. Both are tall, fine-looking men, dressed in dark suits One wore a full beard and one was of sandy com plexion, and probably 40 years old. The other was smooth shaven, with dark hair, cut short, and was probably five years the senior of the other. There were no papers in the pockets of their clothes, though ashes in the toilet bowl suggested that some papers had been de stroyed. A Baptist college student from Scotia, N. D., late last night thougtft be recog nized tbe bodieB as those of two mer chants of that city. Suicides Identified. Grand Island, Neb. Feb. 10.

When this tube is in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restoredto its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous sur faces.
