lBv telegraph 70 the Dispatch)

By telegraph to the Dispatch)
WASHINGTON, d. c., October THE
most important news concerning the Bra
lillian revolution since its inception has
been received by the Secretary OF the Navy
in cable dispatch from Captain Pickering.
commanding the United States cruiser
Charleston. at Rio. as follows: admiral
Mello having been informed that the gov
eminent would dismount the guns In the
city, said he would not again fire upon
the place" This undoubtedly means that
the threatened renewal Of the lombard
ment of Rio de Janiero has been aban-
doned and II Is supposed that truce
between Mello and Peixotto has been ar
ranged by the commanders of foreign
vessels stationed in the harbor The full
import OF the agreement cannot be deter
mined from Captain Pickering's telegram,
but It Is probable that It's effect will be 10
transfer hostilities from Rio 10 other
places in Brazil. although II Is not unlikely
It means the arrangement of an amicable
agreement that will end the war.

II was Thursday morning that he visited
the White House and wanted to assume
the duties Of Chief Executive, and the
same day he found his way to the Police
Court and then 10 the workhouse. Yes
terday morning Inspector Hollinperger
received a telegram from the unfortunate
mans brother telling or his disappear
ance. and the message was teIepnoheu
TO Intendant Stoutenburg, OF the WASH
ington Asylum.
4 few minutes later this official visited
the mans cell to see IL identlhcation

oner had been wearing s. and 81 ollis on
his coat, and 10 a fellow-prisoner ne gave
half OF one OF the notes ana put the
other half In his mouth.
About six inches OF his ttrouser-legs

his explanation was that he mad been IN

Having engaged in conversation with
the OCCUPANT OF the cell few minutes.
Mr.. Stoutenburger ventured the remark:

"You might take this shirt over and
have 1t washed" said the crank: that 3
the only message want to send"
His name was on his shirt. leaving no
doubt concerning the mans identity. He
will probably be turned over to his
brother.

ACCIDENT THE MONTGOMERY.
One Hundred Thousand Dollars Necessary
TO Make Repairs.

Rv telegraph TO the Dspatch)
WASHINGTON, D. c.. October I'D
miral Belknap's official report on the ac-
cldent to the Montgomery has been re-
ceived at the Navy Department, and
shows that while the injuries to her null
are serious, they are not such as TO dis
able her and he believes that with due
care the vessel can safely steam back 10
Baltimore. where she was built, in her
present condition. According to the re-
port. the Montgomery struck Black Ledge.
near New London, on her port side,
abreast the forward magazine and again
abreast the forward boilers. The damage
cannot be determined until the snip il
put In dry-dock, but 1t Is estimated that
100000 will be necessary to repair her
and that the work will consume n month.
Owing to the accident to the Mont
gonery the Board Of Naval Officers APP
pointed TO witness the trial OF the vessel
has been dissolved. and the Kearsargc,
the Nesuvius, the Dolphin, and the seve-
raj naval tugs sent TO New London 10
take part In the test have started for
New York. It Is estimated at the Navy
Department that the accident and the de-
lay consequent upon 1t will cost the build
ers of the Montgomery, the Columbia
Iron Works. of Baltimore, fully $1,000;
but this sum, 1t Is said. could be ma
terially reduced II the contractors would
allow the trial to take place at once, not
withstanding the slight damage to the
vessels hull.
