to President Peixoto. 1tisreported the
naval squadron sent to quell hs,revol-
udonary uprising in Rio Grande have
rebelled. The officers refuse to take or.
ders from any one except Admiral
Mello, who is in command Of the rebel
feet.
The bombardment of Nichteroy has
been concluded. The ships ofthe re-
revolving squadron attacked and 81
lenced the fort. President Peixoto
threw many officers Of the army in jail
to prevent them from joining the revol.
utionists. Dispatches over private
wires state that the reyolters hold
Nicthoroy. They have complete con.
troll of the arsenal and custom house.
The report Of the secession OF the
states of Bahia and Pernambuco are
confirmed. Admiral Mello now has
squadron Of thirty war ships and mer'
chant steamers, which are all we'll sup.
piled. President Peixoto, I'll Is report.
ed, has retired to Santa Ana with tho
troops still true to him. 1t Is expected
he will Join the Casuilhistas in Porto
Alegfe, where he will make final
stand for the retention of power.
Passengers on the British steamer
Mapdalena, which left Rio Janeiro Sep
tember IS, report that all steam launch-
es aud lighters in the harbor OF Rio
Janelro are in the power Of Admiral
Mello. To prevent supplies reaching
the shore q vessel from Rio della Plata,
containing q load Of cattle, was cap
tured by the rebels. The cattle were
aIlthrown overheard. The British gun:
boat PAGER patrols the bay Of Rio, and
gives warning to vessels MOTTO enter.
Ruy Parbosa and his secretary took
refuge in the Chilean squadron against
Peixoto. When the Magadelena was
about to leave Rio three days ago they
we're smuggled on board and are now
safe in Montevideo. The general
opinion here is that the revolution will
triumph. The passengers on all the
ships are quarantined and cannot be
interviewed. Government papers re-
ceiyed by the ships,show. however, that
the situation Is more serious than the
Peixoto agents would admit, or as rep
resented in the official reports which
they have put in circulation.
There are fourteen hundred officers
and men attached to the vessels which
have revolted. Several revolutionary
deputies are aboard OF them. The
rebels have seized and now hold thirty
small ships. All communication be-
tween Nictheroy and Rio has been cut
of.
The damage resulting from the bonn,
bardment was much more, serious than
has been heretofore reported. Many
persons were killed, including an Italian
sailor for whom the government paid
$4,000 indemnity. One German is also
reported to have been killed. In re-
pulsing the attempted landing at MIC
theroy twenty policemen were killed.
Admiral Mello proposes to blockade
Rio and starye the capital into submis-
sion by cutting of all of her supplies.
The forts answered the fire from the
vessels vigorously, many OF the rebel
officers and men were killed. The atti.
tude Of the foreign war ships cannot be
understood. The Tirandentes still re-
mains outside OF Montevideo, but no
one aboard her Is able 70 manipulate
her guns. The United States cruiser
Charleston will sail from Montevideo
for Rio on Monday.
