NEW YORK. Sept. 15-The Herald S
Buenos Ayres dispatch SAYS that news re-
ceived from Rio de JaneirO indicates that
the situation there is very serious.
1t is believed that the navy revolters
have gained a foothold in the capitol, and
President Peixoto, it is claimed. has aban-
dOned the coast and capital, and retired to
Sa1ia Eua with a portion Of the army
which still lemaiA2 oval Here he will
await an attack from the landing party.
Advices from Rio state that the bOm-
bardment OF the city has been suspended.
Word is received that the revolution is
spreading. and it is reported that the
States of Bahai and Pernambuco have de-
clared in favor of the revOutiOnists.
The garrisons in Fort Villegagnon and
all other forts in the harbor of Rio Janeiro
except one reyolted and have Joined Ad-
miraI Mellos' forces.
From the tone of the Brazilian news
paper received here it is predicted that
Peixoto's Government will be overthrown
at an early date.
BUENOs AYREs, Sept. 15.-It is almost
impossible to obtain additional news of
the bombardment at Rio Janero. After
the bombardment Wednesday the authori-
ties at Rio admitted the damage done was
more severe than they at first were will
ing to admit. The Government no longer
attempts to conceal the fact that few
people were killed and "some buildings
damaged" 1t is known that numerous S
buildings were struck, but whether the
shells were intended for the city or for the
arsenal cannot be determined. though it is
known the firing was very wild. The
rebel gunboats fired from shelter behind
the islands which dot the bay. so that the
fire from the forts was ineffective. Firing
is said to have been resumed yesterday
with about the same results as the day be-
fore.
The warship Teradentes. which still re-
mains loyal, has put to sea. It is expected
she will meet the armed merchantmen Stri-
tacoa, which is to aid the rebel feet. If
the two vessels meet at sea a fight is in
evitahle.
The students in San Pablo have declared
A gainst President Peixoto.
N8The foreign ships in the harbor remain
neutral and have decided not to interfere
with the revolution.
Nothing unfavorable to Peixoto is al
lowed to pass over the wires. Brazilians
living in Buenos Ayres believe the success
of the revolution means the restoration of
the monarchy.
a dispatch from Rio de Janeiro received
last night says the insurgent vessels are
continuing the bombardment at various
places in the harbOr and causing much
damage. All work in the harbor is for
bidden and vessels lying there are pre-
vented from communicating with the
land
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Owing to the
law requiring every vessel to make forty
eigbt-hour sea voyage within four months
after completion before she can be ac-
cepted by the Government, the cruiser
Detroit did not start for Brazil to-day.
She started on her trial run. however. and
If it proves successful she will sail for Rio
Janeiro at once on her return.
