Insurgents Burn Their Prisoners
Alive and Sack Several Houses—(la
Gama‘s Position Critical; His Supply
of Fresh Water and Food Limited.
Copyright, 189-1, by the United Press.
RIO JANEIRO, Jan. 17,—The minister of
foreign affairs, acting for President Peix-
oto. authorizes the representative of the
United Press to send the following:
The siege of Bags by the insurgent
forces has been raised. After the rebels
had resisted for 18 days the sortie‘s of the
government troops, who are commanded
by General Carlos Telles, made a final
sortie and put the insurgents to flight. It
was a complete rout for the rebels, who
abandoned their baggage and munitions
of war. The-government loss was 36 kill
ed and 90wounded. The insurgents lost
400 killed and wounded.
Two days after the battle one the two
columns that had beendespatched to the
relief of Bage arrived at that town. The
relieving column at once started in pur-
suit ofthe insurgents, but it is under-
stood they did not succeed in catching up
with the main body of inSurgent-s. Many
of the latter deserted.
It was found that the insurgents had
sacked several houses, and several men
werefound with their throats cut.
The government soldiers who had been
captured by the enemy were burned alive.
General Carneiro, who is on the frontier
between the state of Parana and Santa
Catarina, recently fought an engagement
with the insurgents and defeated them.
The British steamer Hilda, which has
arrived here from Porto Alegre, capital of
the state of Rio Grande do Sul, reports
that the government is in undisturbed
possession of the coast of that state.
REBEII’S POSITION CRITICAL.
TheirFresh Water and Food Supply
Growing Quite Limited.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.——-The admission
of Admiral da Gama contained in the de-
spatches from Rio J aneiro regarding the
possible length of time which the insur—
gents in the Bay of Rio can hold out under
existing conditions are confirmed by ad-
vices received in Washington.
These advices state that Do. Game’s
position is more critical than he admits.
His forces are without fresh water and
their food supply is also said to be growing
quite limited. It is conceded that if the
insurgents gained a foothold in Nictheroy
their position would be greatlyimproved,
but the probsbility of their effecting a
landing becomes more remote every day.
A New Immigration Bill.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-—Mr. W. A.
Stone, rep., Penn, has introduced in the
house a bill providing that no alien im-
migrant shall be admitted to the United
States unless he shall exhibit to the in-
spector of immigrants upon his arrival in
this country acertificate signed by the
United States consul setting forth that
the immigrant does not belong to the
class of alien immigrants excluded from
the United States and does not come un-
der contract or agreement to perform
' labor.
Her Preliminary Spin.
NEW LONDON, Conn, Jan. 17.—The
cruiser “Montgomery” behaved well on
her preliminary spin on Long Island
Sound yesterday. She did not go over the
entire course but turned when off Horton’s
Point, about 25 miles from here, and
steamed back to harbor. Forced draught
was employed for an hour and during
that time her speed was computed at
about 19 knots. The Cruiser was very
steady, and her how wave did not reach
the bow torpedo tube.

Statement of Jersey’s Re-
publican Senators.
They Deny That They Took Any Part
in the Organization of the Demo,
cratic Body, But Merely Made In-
quirics of What Was Going On.
TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 17,—The republi- I
“can senators have revised their reply to
the? attorney-general’s opinion on the le-
gality of the two senates.» .
After quoting part of the attorney-gen-
eral’s opinion they declare that they were
aware that the democrats had plans laid
to depart this year from the regular course
of organization of the senate; that it was
the democrats, purpose to prevent Senator
Bradley from taking the seat to which he
was elected and that the rumors current
the day before the legislature lassembled
regarding the plans of the democrats have
since proved in several instances to be
true.
The names of the senators from the diff-
erent counties were placed upon the desks
in the chamber by the superintendent this
year as usual, but removed, they claim,
the day before the date for assembly by
the sergeant-atLarms ,of the last senate,
who from that time until 3 o’clock Tues-
day afternoon, the hour for the session to
begin, held possession of the chamber and
admitted none but democrats or their
friends. .
The usual custom of the dominant party
caucus appointing a committee to wait
upon the chairman of'the other caucus on
the morningzof the day of organization, to
make arrangements as to the formal pro-
ceedings of the organization of the senate,
the usual courtesy being to have a.
member of the minority elected pres-
ident pro tem, and {to have the oath
office administered by him to
the senators-elect, was they claim, at-
tempted this year, With the result
that their committee was informed by
Senator Adrain that the republicans need
expect no courtesies from the democratic
senators, and that the republican sena-
tors must take whatever means they
deemed best to defend their own rights.
Notwithstanding all this, the republi-
cans, did not, they assert, believe that the
democrats would violate the usual cus-
tom and introduce revolutionary proceed-
ings, and they, therefore, shortly before 3
o’clock, proceeded to the capitol. They
found the senate chamber locked against
them, by order of the democratic senators.
When the doors were finally opened and
the republican senators were admitted,
they found the president’s chair occupied
by Senator Adrain, and the other demo-
cratic senators occupying seats upon the
floor of the senate, and Allan L. McDer—
m'ott, chairman of the democratic state
committee, occupying a seat upon the
floor of the' chamber beside the senator
from Hudson. Besides these, there were
present newspaper reporters and the per
sons who had been officers of the senate of
1893. All citizens had been excluded. As
a matter of fact the proceedings which
are detailed in the attorney general’s re—
port as having been begun at 3 o’clock,
actually began before that hour, and the
attempt to organize the senate of New
Jersey with nine senators was therefore
made behind locked doors, prior to the
usual hour and with the republican
senators excluded by force and against
their wills from the senate chamber.
At the moment the republican senators
gained admission to the senate chamber,
the secretary of the last senate was pre-
tending to call the roll. Different ones of
their number, they say, immediately ad-
dressed questions to the senators there
present, directing their remarks to the
whole body of senators, and not recogniz-
ing any one as a presiding oilicer, for the
purpose of ascertaining what proceedings
had taken place and were then going on,
it not being at that time manifested to
them whether the proceedings were those
of a democratic caucus or of a pretended
senate. -
Upon being informed by Senator Adrain
that the democratic senators were at
tempting to proceed with the business of
organizing the senate, the eleven repub-
lican senators, following the suggestion
contained in the warning words of Sena-
tor Adrain, that the republican senators
must protect their rights as best they
could, went aside into one of the com-
mittee rooms and proceeded to organize
the body which they now claim, being
composed of 11 senators of the state, to be
the lawful senate.
The republicans deny that they at any
time took part in the proceedings or anv
swered to roll call while Senator Adrain
was in the chair, as the attorney-general
says the journal so records them. Their
inquiries, they say, were only for thepu’r—
pose of ascertaining the situation, which,
having been'barred out of the chamber,
they were ignorant of.
They cite the hasty return of the gover-
nor’s private secretary and how he climbed
in a. window with the governor’s message
recognizing a senate composed of only 10
'nators.
{I'he statement closes as follows:
“We leave the questions of law discussed
by the attorney general to be considered
by those better able to deal with them.
What we desire to make known is that his
conclusions are based upon false state.
ments of facts given to him-made up to
suit the intended purpose. We do not:
believe that by such trick and artifice the
right of the people to govern themselves
can be defeated. We are impelled to take
the course we pursued to thwart a con-
spiracy and prevent usurpation. , .:
“Elected and duly commissioned to ex-
ecute the will of the sovereign people of
this commonwealth, and constituting a.
clear. majority of the senate, we propose to
perform our duty and we confidently ap-
peal to the people to sustain us.”
Gov. Flower-”s Reception.
ALBANY, Jan. 17.——Gov. Flower’s annual
