RIO DE- JASTlRo, Brazil, Dec. 8 (via
Buehos Ayres, Dec IL Admiral Wen
denkolk, who has been in prison hero
for some time for heading a revolt pre-
vious to that OF Mcllo will probably
assume command Of the government
squadron Wendenkolk has nothing
in common with Mello, and Is, In fact,
his bitter enemy.
The insurgents have fortified Cobras
Island and manned IL with eight of the
best guns in Brazil, consisting Of two
i0O-pounders, two 5Oo-pounders and
four GOO-pounders-
This fortress commands all the APP
proachos TO the inner bay.
II is reported that the insurgent ship
Republlca has captured the Tirandete,
the government vessel which lay bot
tied up here for so long, but which fin
ally ventnred out 70 sea.
WASHINGTON, Dec, 2-The navy de.
partment has received the following
dispatch from Commander Pickering at
Rio
'The Brazilian government has re-
qucsted eonsuls TO warn vessels to
move from their present anchorages,
and has drawn line inside Of which
II is dangerous TO venture. This pre-
vents the discharge OF cargoes at
wharves."
This is interpreted TO mean that the
anchorage and the wharves have come
within the line of fire Of the forts and
Mcllo's ships, and II is not safe to come
within that line.
The Brazilian revolution has assumed
a new and much more serious aspect by
the declaration Of Admiral De CANA in
favor OF the revolution and restora-
tion OF the empire. Minister Mendonca,
Of Brazil, who has been active in assist
ing the Pcixoto government. does not
seek 10 bclittle the seriousness OF De
Gama's detection, ~ know Cana per-
sonally and most intimately" said the
minister, and realize that he gives
the rebels u power and prestige they
have never before had Although he
is a rearadmiral OF the same rank as
Mello, yet De Cana is recognized as
the most popular and most able man in
the navy. The entire navy is likely TO
follow DE Cana, for he has a controll-
ing influence over most OF the officers
OF the navy, and those who would not
follow him through respect would do
so in fear OF him.
Senior Mendonca said that De Gamu's
declaration In favor of restoring the
empire would probably stimulate the
eNilcd relics OF the old empire TO con-
tribute large sums toward the rcstora-
ton The prctcnder is related 70 some
Of the Oldest and wealthiest noble
houses in Europe" said he. "They
will probably come forward with
money to supply food and am
munition for the naval forces OF
De Cana and Mcllo There is a col.
ony Of old brazilian impcrialists in
Paris and another in Portugal. The
hourboas in Spain are also related to
the pretcnder. have little doubt that
Admiral De Cana had assurances In ad-
vance from these wealthy and royal
sources before he declared for the EN-.

careful man, so that he would be likely
to take the precaution to secure in adj
