New* of the Diaastor t'aused Greet Ex
citement in Itlo Janeiro—President Mo
ran* on tiio Situation.
New York, March lO.—Tbo Herald's
correspondent in Rio do Janeiro tele*
graphs important details of the serious
defeat of the federal troops by the fa
natical forces in the state of Bahia on
Sunday. Tito news of the disaster was
at first denied at Rio de Janeiro, and
one paper was suppressed because it
published bulletins of the battla It is
nevertheless a fact that the Brazilian
troops foil into an ambush which was
prepared by the fanatics, and before re
covering from their surprise the federal
vanguard was annihilated and the re
mainder of tho force, as it came up to
the point where tho fanatics wore en
trenched, were assailed and suffered
▼ery severe losses.
The most serious part of the disaster
was not known in the ranks of the Bra
zilians until after they had retreated to
a place of safety, when it was found
that Colonel Moelra Caesar, tho chief
officer in command, was missing. A
scouting party was immediately sent
back to the field, where the engagement
occurred, and there the body of Colonel
Caesar was discovered.
Colonel Tamaiando and several other
officers wore also killed, and many pri
vates and officers were wounded. The
fanatics captured a number of prison
ers, four guns with their caissons, and
a largo quantify of ammunition.
The nows of the disaster has caused
great excitement in tho Brazilian capi
tal, accompanied by some disorder.
Tho monarchists wore especially the
objects of popular wrath and a mob de
stroyed tho offices of the newspaper or
gans of tho par f y, including the influ
ential Gazeta Jardc.
It has been decided by the govern
ment that Arturoscar shall succeed Col
onel Caesar as commander of the fed
eral forces in Bahia, where the cam
paign against tho fanatics will be par-
sued with renewed vigor.
Tno correspondent had an interview
with President Moreas in regard to the
situation in Bahia. Tho president said
that he believed the outbreak in the
state was duo to political intrigue. He
added that strenuous exertions would
bo made, in spite of such intrigue, to
unite all parties in common defense of
the constituted authority for the sup
pression of tho rebellion.

Nkw York, March 10.—Among tho
passongors arriving on board tho Ward
line steamer Seuecn, from Havana, was
Mrs. Rita Lescade do Ruiz, wifo of Dr.
Ruiz, who died in prison in Cuba. She
was accompanied by her live children,
ranging in age from 3 to 13 yours. Mrs.
Ruiz speaks no English.
Mrs. Ruiz was dressed in moa ning,
as were the two oldest girls, Mercedes,
18 years old. and Evangeline, aged 11.
Mrs. Ruiz said that she had nothing
to add to what she had already said in
relation to the murder of her huslmml
or his treatment as an American citizen
by the Spanish government.
"He was foully murdered," she said,
“and 1 will take such action as may
be advised by my friends. I want to
thunk tho American people for the ex
pressions of sympathy ami I cannot say
too much of my heartfelt thanks at the
kindness of Consul General Lee. For
the present 1 will bo in the city with
friends.”
Mis. Ruiz’s appearance and manner
indicate that she is in a high statu of
nervousness and in need of much euro
before regaining her usual health and
strength. It is likely that her case will
bo placed before the administration at
Washington as soon as possible in the
form of a demand for indemnity from
tho Spanish government.

San Francisco. March 10.—The own
ership of $1,000,000 worth of laud in
California depends upo.i tho legal con
struction of a word. And a very sim
ple word it is—the littio familiar word
"brought” But a legal battle came on
in the United States circuit court before
Judge Morr >w over the meaning of that
word us it is used m the act of congress
approved March 3, 1801.
Tho act provides that no suit shall be
brought by the United States to vacate
or annul any patent to public lauds
issued before tho date mentioned within
five years from tho passage of the act.
This "period of limitation.” as the law
yers style it, expired on March 8 lust
Consequently it appears that all patents
to public lauds issued before March 3.
1801, became absolute and irrevocable
on March 8, 1896, unless previously at
tacked by suits brought as the law re
quires.
The case in which the point has beau
raised is that of the United States
against the American Lumber company
of Chicago, and the Central Trust com
pany of New York. It U a suit in
which the government seeks to have
cancelled npon the ground of fraud and
conspiracy more than 100 different pat-
ants to railroad timber lauds In Califor
nia, situated in Humboldt and Melcino
ooauties.
The American Lumber company holds
the patents to theso lauds, which em
brace no less than 27.000 acres, and
their value has been o$timated at in the
neighborhood of $1,000,000. The Cen
tral Trust company issued mortgage
bonds on the security of tho lauds to
the amount of $300,000
The bill of compLint was filed in the
circuit court here on Feb. 3. 1806 That
wa* just a month before tho statutory
K riod of limitation expired, after which
e government could not iustltnte suit.
The question to bo decided is, was the
■uit brought when the bill was filed?
Tho matter was argaed before Judge
Morrow and submitted on brlofa It is
said it is the first case involving the
question when a sail is "brought" in
oouiiectlou with United States land pat
ents and the limitation of tho five yoar.i
thereon.

the silver Republican senators, Teller of
Colorado, Pettigrew of South Dakota
and Cannon of Utah, who withdrew
from the St. Louis convention. With
them also was Senator Warren of Ohio.
They wore shown at once to the presi
dent’s office and spout 5 or 10 minutes
with Mr. McKinley. It was entirely a
call of courtesy and no allusion to party
or politics was made. The president
showed Ids usual cordiality and there
was no evidence in the manner or words
of the divisions resulting from the na
tional convention. •
Following this group came another
one comprising the cutiro Republican
mombership of the ways and moans
committee, headed by Chairman Ding-
ley. They file i Is-fore the president
and were «’».i . . v "routed. This, too,
was a call •• •• ... u*y and no reference
was made i ■ to tariff.
Senator AiiiMMa and Ropresoutativo
Dolliver of Iowa called to urge the ap
pointment of State Senator Ericsson of
Iowa as minister to NoiQ ay and Sweden.

ident were Senator Morrill of Vermont,
tho venerable head of the senate com
mittee on finance. Senators Oaliom and
Mason of Illinois. Pritchard of North
Carolina and Penrose of Pennsylvania.
Senator McEnery, the new Democratic
senator from Louisiana, was accompan
ied by ex-Marshal Pitkin of that state.
Among the callers in private life were
Murat Halstead and Powell Clayton.
The cabinet officers began to arrive
shortly before 11 o’clock. The most of
them drove from their respective de
partments, as a drizzling rain was foil
ing. Secretary Bliss did not attend,
being absent in New York. At 11:05
President McKinley loft his office and
joined his advisers in the cabinet room.
No questions of importance came be
fore the cabinet meeting, which lasted
half mi hour, the remark being made
that fortunately affairs as to Cuba and
Hawaii were unusually quiet at present.
Tho attorney general was the last to
leave. It i* understood that the ques
tion of an appointment of assistant at

UNTOLD MISERY *
FROM
Rheumatism
C. H. Xing, Water Valley, Miss., cured by
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
••For live year*, 1 snllereil untold misery
from muscular rheumatism. I tried every
known remedy, cmisulled the best physi
cians, visited Hot Springs. Ark., three times,
spending $1000 there, besides doctors’ bills;
but could obtain only tein|>orary relief. My
flesh was wasted away so that I weighed
only ninety-three pounds; my left arm and
leg were drawn out of shape, the muscles
being twisted up In knots. I was unable to
dress myself, except with assistance, amt
could only hobble about by using a cane. 1
had no appetite, and was assured, by the
doctors, that I could not live. The pains, at
times, were so awful, that I could procure
relief only by means of hypodermic injec
tions of morphine. I had tny limbs bandaged
in clay, in sulphur, in poultices; but these
gave only temporary relief. After Hying
everyUting, and sullering the most awful
tortures, I begun to lake Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.
Inside of two months, I was able to walk
without a cane. In three months, my limbs
began to strengthen, and in the course of a
year, I was cured. My weight has increased
