NkwYouk, May 21. The Herald's
correspondent in Montevido telegraphs
that fierce fighting has been going on for
four days near the Brazilian frontier.
The fighting is still in progress, and
both sides have sustained heavy losses.
Lamas, one of the rebel leaders, lias
continued at the head of his forces for
the four days, in spite of the fact that he
has been seriously wounded.
The forces in action on both sides have
had practically no rest since the begin
of the engagement.
Another attempt lias been made to
assassinate President Borda, of Uruguay.

Argentina, and which he received re
cently. The bomb was in a box, arranged eo
that it would explode when opened.
Fortunately, suspicion was aroused, and
was turned over to the police and de
stroyed. The Herald's correspondent in Rio de
Janeiro says Brazil is taking steps to
strengthen her navy. The president
will ask congress to immediately appro
priate money for the purchase of ono
ironclad, two cruisers and eight torpedo
boats. A treaty has been signed by Brazil
and Peru to replace the boundary land
marks. Reports have reached Rio de Janeiro
that the government troops have again
met defeat at the hands of the fanatics
near Canudo. It is reported that Juan
Branilas, one of the leaders of the fa
natics, is dead. It is stated that the van
guard of the government troops haB been
destroyed.
A bill has been offered in the chamber
of deputies ottering an award of 500
centos for some method of protecting
citizens of Brazil from yellow fever.

A miner named William Meagher was
working in a shaft about seventy-five
feet deep. He had put in a stick of
giant powder, fired the fuse and gave the
signal to hoist. His jumping into the
bucket caused it to swing, and Meagher
was thrown out and fell, striking on his
head. The men on top were afraid to
go to his rescue.
In a few seconds the explosion oc
curred. The men descended and found
Meagher lying about' three feet from
where the blast went off. His skull was
badly fractured, but he was not seriou?
ly hurt by the explosion, although the
Bhatt is only 0x11 feet. The injured
man was brought to ttie surface, and re
gained consciousness in three hours. He
is well known in Nevada nnd Colorado.

lias instructed the consulate to re
cover by Jepral process.
Some merriment was caused in the
consulate by the fact that a remittance
of CO cents was inclosed by Mmc. Or

tainer. If this was actually the purpose
which Mine. Ordody desired the money
tp be devoted to it would be pmbably

CAN ENGLAND BE INVADED?
How Two Mineinvnui-H llattled for Their
Lives.
Sr. Louis, May 21. Edward Callahan,
owner of the Barranca silver mine in
Mexico yielding 1000 tons of .fJ0-o.-e a
day and a millionaire, is here en route
to Xew York to bo treated for the in
juries he received in a fight with bandits.
It was widely repotted at the time that
he had been killed.
On April 20, Mr. Callahan and his
partner, James Kuline, were held up
near Ameca, Mexico, by Mexican
bandit?, while on their way to their
mine with the weekly payroll. After i
receiving 17 knife wonnds, Callahan fell !
across the wagon seat, weak from the
loss of blood. Lying there helpless, he
witnessed a terrible sight.
"The team had traveled perhaps 100
yards alter wo were attacked," said Mr.
Callahan. "About 20 feet back, lying in
the road, I saw Jim. Ho was on his
face, but I could see that ho was not
dead, though the blood was pouring from
a wound in las side and dyeing the dust
about him.
"As I lay there helpjeaa, I saw his
baud steal up toward his gun, and a
sudden hope sprang up within me.
Nut the Mexicans, too, had seen the
move, and It cost him his life. With a
yell, one of the fellows sprang upon him
and wrenched his gun from his belt. 1
bad raised my head to see, and, pointing
tbe sixshooter, he fired every chamber at
me, but without effect, though I dropped
down again. Raising his dirk, he plnng
ed it into poor Jim's body repeatedly,
"early every blow, as an examination
ailerwnrd showed, going through him."

Something to Depend On.
Mr, James Jones, of the drug firm of
Jones & Son, Cowden, III., in speaking
of Dr. King's New Discovery, says that
last winter his wife was attacked with
LaGrippe, and her case grew so terious
that physicians at Cowden and Pana
could do nothing for her. It seemed to
develop into HaBty Consumption. Hav
ing Dr. King's New Discovery in store,
and selling lotB of it, he took a bottle
home, and to the surprise of all she be
gan to get better from the first dose, and
half dozen dollar bottles cured her sound

Is there any danger of England beirg
invuded by a foreign toe? This que
tion was recently put to Gen. Wolsele ,
says a London letter. His reply was as
follows:
"Not so long ago we were within
.measurable distance of a war with
France. Such a war, believe me, would
not be only naval. A country which has
such a colossal army as France would
certainly wish to use it. Invasion, at
tempted or accomplished, would have
to be one of the military contingencies
to be considered by us. Of course wo
rely upon our fleet for preventing a de
scent. "The navy is our 'first lino,' but thcr
are some who think 1 do not say that
I am one of thorn that our navy is not
. immeasurably superior to the
French that wo can always count upor.
meeting it strength for .strength at the
critical moment in tho home seas.
"Command of the. channel might l?
obtained by stratagem or after conllici
and a very short time a couple of da, s
would suffice to effect u very secure
lodgment on our shores. To, no; in
vasion is not impossible. Yon Molt la
thought that, although he said it woul I
be easier to get into England than out
it again. 1 dare say we should give a
good necount. of ourselves to invaders--,
but the shock, the temporary paralys'
nnd collapse would bo very terrible,
oven if we triumphed in the end. Hut
let us hope that invasion is very far olV
indeed."
