Copyrighted 1893. by the Associated Press)
PERNAMBUCO, Dec. 23-The report that
Rio de Janeiro has been captured by the
rebels has not been confirEaed but the most
startling reports are still in circulation here.
1t is announced here in dispatch from Rio
de Janeiro that Admiral Da Cana and the
insurgent war vessels are off Cobras island.
and that they have succeeded in stopping
the collection of the revenues from the Gus
tom house which have, up to the present,
been paid to President PeiXoto.
There seems to be some serious hitch con-
nected with the departure Of Lieut.. John j.
Conway. third watch officer of the Nicthe-
roy, and of the sixty seamen. The insurg
ents are thoroughly posted on the move

point for convenience, until the question is
equitably settled. Insurgents make lines of
fire anywhere to suit their purpose, thereby
indefinitely blocking neutral commerce with

The point which the consul-general urges

received several days ago. The cablegram
was transmitted to the Navy Department
by the State Department for its inStruc-
ton, and without any request to comply
with the suggestions. The Navy Depart
ment is awaiting adviceS from Captain
Picking. With discretion vested in Captain
Picking and with a United states min
lister on the ground no action will be taken
on the representations Of the consul-gen-
heard from. 1t will be seen that the dis
patch is complaint against the insurgents
and a request TO intervene against them
in behalf OF neutral commerce. The gov
ernments fire is from the shore, and ii

Mello's forces are firing without regard TO
security on the docks. II seems to be con-
sidered doubtful in the State Department
whether the government would be war
ranted in intervening TO prevent the in
surgentS rom fixing their line of fire. 1t
is questionable whether the right of neutral
commerce includes right to have a land
ing-place kept safe in a besieged city.
