ATTACHMENTS AGAINST Ell CID.
New York, Nov. 17.-United States
Marshal Grant this morning levied an
attachment on the New Brazilian war
ship FL Cid, restraining her from leaving
this port until the salaries of two junior
engineers and three cooks are paid The
attachment was issued by Judge Brown,
of the United States circuit court. These
men were engaged originally at a salary
of 500 month each. They were notified
this morning that they would only re-
ceive S45 each, hence the attachment
Later in the day, several other cooks,
stewards and other employees took out
similar attachments.
Washington, Nov. IA cipher telegram
received by the navy department this
evening from Capt. Picking, under to-
days date, from Rio JaneirO, is looked
upon as significant and possibly indicat-
ing a weakening of the strength of the
insurgent fleet under Admiral Mello
The translation was as follows
''The naval commanders of eight
nations, including our nation, have
hDR1nnH N at1f,f
tions of war to be landed at Rio Santos,
being still in possession of the Brazilian
government, and connected with Rio
Janeiro by railroad munitions of
war for Rio Janeiro can be landed
at Santos. Yesterday the in
surgents dressed ship and the Brazilian
government forts fired a naval salute in
honor of the anniversary of the establish
ment of the republic"
The only Interpretation to be put upon
this dispatch is that the naval represent
atives at Rio have decided that there
shall be no interference with commerce,
and have formally notified the insurgent
admiral that they will prevent it, The
| probabilities are, and this is the view
| taken by government officials here, that
| this action weakens Admiral Mello very
much, for if he cannot close the ports of
Rio and bring that city into subsection
| it cannot be coniectured how he
can make his rebellion known. 1t looks
| TO naval officers very much as if Admiral
Mello had been badly crippled. This
| action is in line with that indicated in
| previous dispatches from Capt. Picking
| to the effect that the foreign representa-
tives had, after conference, notified Ad-
miral Mello that he must respect the
nationality of any lighter engaged in un-
! loading vessels and flying a flag al its
| bow indicating its nationality.
SAVING THE CITY.
! It appears that a studied effort has
been made to give Admiral Mello no ex-
cuse to fire upon the city. An agreement
was made some time ago that there
should be no firing between the forces in
| Rio and the insurgents in the bay This
| was violated on one occasion, although
| little, if any, damage resulted. To-days
| dispatches indicated that the naval Off
| GERS on duty there in the protection of
! foreign interests are determined that this
! agreement shall be enforced, for this last
notice is the result of concerted action on
! the part of the allied powers, TO
prevent any firing upon the city, and dam
age to commerce by either side. The re-
| strictions thus imposed as to the landing
| of munitions of war treats both sides
| alike, but the advantage is with the eX-
| isting government by reason of its connec-
| tiOn with Santos. Admiral Mello, could,
of course, get supplies by water, provided
| the vessels carrying them could success
| fully pass the government forts down the
bay below the insurgent feet.
