OUTLINING HIS RIGHTS IN BRAZIL.

CLAIMS OF AN AMERICAN CITIZEN TO BEDS OF
PHOSPHATE ON BRAZILIAN ISLANDS LIKELY 10
BE RECOGNIZED
According 10 adyices received In this city
frop BaE by the steamer Rio de JanetrO which arrived
Monday the Fernando NOronha Islands litigation be-
tween the Brazilian Government and an American cit
zen James C. JeWet in the course of settlement IN
favor of tho latter Should the Government recognise
the rights Of JeEet who claims TO have discovered
the 900 Of valuable phosphate deposits on the
Fernando NOronha ROoas ana AbrOthOs Lsands OF the
BRAZILIAN coast the freight which American vessels will
earn IN bringing the article TO this country would exceed
S45 OOO This calculation based the price OF
Sl2 ion which paid for shipment Of the phos-
phate IN 1879 by large Hew-Jersey arm.
The origin OF the litigation fully stated In THE
TRIpUSE OF January 49, 1851 About two years ago Mr.
Jevet hted y vessel for the exploration OF these
islauds his object being TO nd phosphate OF lime suited
to the manufacture OF fertilizers. VauAble deposits
were discovered and application was made 70 the Bra
lillian Government based the Imperial desreos Of
1871 ana 1879 for exclusive right to work and ship
tbeso phosphaes The application granted but two
months later change OF Ministers took place and the
now AID administration cancelled the decision Of its pre-
decess or on ground that Mr. Jewett had mSrcpre
sented the nature OF the deposits; that they
were not phosphates worth $l2 ton, but
euano worth $50 ton Mr.. Jevett thero-
upon applied to Secretary Evarts for redress, and In
ructons were sent to United States Minister at Rio
Ianero to demonstrate with tho Brazilian Government
on the subject The result of these remonsrances was
that An Imperial commission Was appointed 20 pIO-
coed 20 Fernando NarOnha and examine the phosphatcs
to determine their actual value.
BY the adViceR from Ro Janelro above referred TO-
appears that the commissioners have returned, stating
that the value Of the phosphate had been overesmated
nv the Ministry, and that It not guano ike the
Peruvian Kuano, had been supposed wcrth $40 pc.
ton but WAS purely mineral substance ee hfst reported
10 The Government by Mr.. JewrtL The Commissioners
state further that the phosphate " II no value TO Brazil
na feTulksr only be used alter treatment VITA
sDcnt or waste supbnrc acid from OIL renerics or gu
coe works at places this spent acid mas com
