and Ponta da Areia, in the vicinity of
Nlctheroy. Launches conveying the
landing parties left the island of Con
ceicao at 3:30 a. m., and succeeded in

ery. In hair an hour, after heavy fir
ing on both sides, the government
troops retired, leaving, Ave officers and
forty men prisoners, and six officers and
fifty men killed. At 5 o'clock reinforce
ments of over 1,000 men arrived, ' and
the government troops again advanced,

guns. Admiral Da Gama further at
tempted to check tlio advance of the
troops by calling for reinforcements of
100 men from Concelcao, and by send
ing armed launches from the cruiser
Llbertade, close to the mainland. The
forts stopped the advance and caused
heavy losses to the' government forces.
Then tho Insurgents' ammunition foil

slowly gained ground. ,s After, three
hours' fighting the troops were( within
half a mile of Armacao, and Da Gama
decided to withdraw the sailors,' finding

of the overwhelming number 'of . the
enemy. The Insurgents loss was five
officers and thirty men killed, and
twenty officers and forty men wounded,
The government Is supposed to have
lost fifteen officers and 150 men killed,
and many wounded. Da Gama haa bul

IMPORTANT DECISION.
A Widow and Her Children Get Justice,
San Francisco, Feb. 12. An Important
case was decided in the United Statet
circuit court of appeals this morning,
which seriously affects the title of the
town of Everett, Wash., and the evl
dence adduced in the case shows how
an unfortunate widow and her half or
phans were wantonly robbed of theli
rights and. all that years of toll and
Industry had garnered up for them. A
Mexican war veteran named Hatch died
years ago, leaving his wife, who wa
tui Indian woman, 320 acres of land
which he had taken up. Hatch died in
1890, before his land was entirely proved
up. He left his wife and children to
the care of E. C. Ferguson. His wife
probably acting on Ferguson's advice,
proved up on the land and got a per
fect title to both parcels. She had 1m
pllclt confidence in Ferguson, and he
suggested that she give him the power
of attorney, which she did without hesl
tancy. He sold the property on which
the town of Everett now stands for 10
an acre. The property was transferred
to a man named Henry .Hewitt, who,
within six months, sold it to a syndl
cate for S180 an acre. The remaining
160 acres were left to tho Hatch chll
dren, but as Ferguson was their guar
dlan, he had but little difficulty In get
tlnif the consent of their mother to al
low him to dispose of the property at a
good price. Mrs. Hatch brought suit
in the circuit court of Washington, and
It was decided that the property on
which the town of Everett lies must be
