FURTHER NEWS FROM BRAZIL
The Insurgents Seem to be Getting the
Best OF the situation.

Copyrighted 1893, by ths Associated Pres.
PERNAMBUco, December 21.-The re-
port which has been widely circulated
to the effect that mutiny occurred on
board the Brazilian cruiser Nichtheroy
is untrue. But by some means or other,
that would indicate considerably laxity
OF discipline on board the Brazilian yes
sell the crew OF the Nichtheroy managed
TO secure a quantity OF liquor from the
bum boats which have been erowding
around the dynamiter ever since she ar
rived here and the result was drunken
row. The officers OF the Nichtheroy some-
what too late deferred the smuggling
of liquor on board and proceeded TO put
q stop TO ii. Enough OF the spirits had
already been imbibed by a number OF
the crew, and consequently eight OF
the Nichtheroy's crew were clapped in
irons and were slowed away until they
recovered from their spree. As usual
with drunken sailors the men were not
placed in irons without some little dis
turbance, but there was no mutiny OF
any description. About one hundred
of the seamen who shipped In
New York have on their own ac-
cord and on their own terms signed
articles as regular sailors Of the Brazil
ian navy and sixty OF the New Workers
who refused TO sign, or who were found
to be undesirable members Of the crew
were sent ashore last night, and num-
Der of others will be sent ashore to-day.
The places OF the men landed will be
filled by BraZilians or others who have
In nr nfhar a.
this an other ports, and so the compost
tion Of the crew OF the Nichtheroy,
when that vessel meets the enemy, will
not be so thoroughly American IS the
officers desired.
We are unable here to obtain any
direct and accurate news from Rio DE
Janeiro. AS rumOr has IL, President
Peixoto maintained strict censorship
over the news which leaks out from
the capitol. 1t is generally admitted
however, that the government has
suffered one or more reverses recently
| In and about the harbor OF Rio De
Janelro, and there seems no doubt
that the insurgents are more aud more
| confident Of success.
The report circulated to the effect
that the officers OF the foreign fleets are
in sympathy with the insurgents, pos
siby originates in the fact that naval
| officers all the world over have consid-
erabe sailorlike sympathy for each
other, and there is no doubt that the
| Brszilians while IN New York made
many friends, but everybody admits, ut
Rio de Janeiro and elsewhere, that
the United States government would
not permit the restoration by force
of arms OF the monarchy and the
opinion of the United States in this
matter is looked upon as being para
mount and as effectually settling any
runiors which may be circulated by
monarchists or others regarding an
attempt TO restore the monarchy. The
United States is looked upon as being
the great deciding power in all things
American, whether In North or South
America, and this fact is generally adj
mitted by the representatives OF all the
foreign powers.

MINoNK, ILL, December 21.-At 5
O'Clock this afternoon a fire, which is
still burning in the mine operated by
the Chicago and Minonk mining COM
pany, held two hundred miners in dead
ly peril of their lives. All OF
them made their escape and but
few were injured. The man most
seriously hurt is George Erbland, who
caused the disaster. He is desperately
burned and his chance of recovery Is
very slight. Erbland started the tre
by attempting to light his torch while
standing near large can Of kerosene.
The gas from the oil famed
up as Erbland lit his torch,
and in his efforts to extinguish the
flames be upset the Kerosene, which at
once gave the flames great impetus.
The can was upset close TO the dry tim
Der lining the walls of the main shaft
and this was ablaze in an instant. Inc
fire spread with an appalling rapidity
and for a time it seemed as though
THE THREE HUNDRED MEN
In the shaft must perish. About one
hundred of them were, however, taken
uu the main shaft before the fire rem
dered it useless TO attempt to escape by
that route. Two hundred men were at
the bottom OF the shaft and
the fire was spreading furiously.
The widest kind of rumors were
afloat and panic prevailed
around the.mouth of the shaft where the
families OF the imprisoned miners aud
others, attracted by the disaster, had
| formed large crowd. 1t was found
that there was not sufficient hose TO
reach sufficiently far down the shaft to
be OF use in extingushing the names,
and the Illinois Central at once
dispatched an engine to Eureka
few milas "aav for more nose. Itcame
u,souln remarkably short time, aud
I-s"o gallant fellows at once made an
! attempt TO descend the shaft, the
smoke, however, was pouring ouS IN
such douse clouds that the
men Were dragged back half
suffocated and the others at once
seized tho hose and started down. They
were drawn back nearly dead. A third
attempt met with no better success, and
1t was then seen that unless the men
succeeded in escaping through the ven
tilating shafts their hope of life was
gone. There are
THREE vENTILATING SHAFTS,
one north, one northeast and one north
west OF the main shaft. To these the
men in the mine had rushed crazed with
fear, burned with falling embers and
choked and blinded by the smoke
which was rapidly filing the
mine. Fortunately every man
reached the foot Of one OF the
three ventilatng shafts and were
quickly drawn to the surface. Inside
an hour after Erband attempted 10
light his torch all the men were safe
above ground. Many Of them reached
the upper air in desperate
condition, half strangled, and
blinded with smoke, but
medical aid and fresh air soon brought
them around, and all will recover with
the exception of Erbland, whose inju-
ries were received from the explosion
of the can Of OIL
At midniRh ht the mine Is still burning
and is absolutely beyond control. The
only way Of eXtingushing the flames
will be TO food the mine, and this may
be done tomorrow. It's impossible to-
night to approximate the amount of
damage done.

Secretary Herbert Assigns Him TO Duty
in Oommapd of the North Atlantic
Squadron.
WASHINGTON, D. c., December 21.-
Secretary Herbert this evening gave
out his decision in the case Of Commo-
dore Stanton, detached from command
Of the South Atlantic station for salut-
ing Mello in the haTbor of Rio.
The Secretary restores Stanton TO
duty and assigns him to the command
Of the North Atlantic squadron. This
is regarded as perhaps the choicest
station TO command among them all.
The concluding portion Of Secretary
Herbert's letter is as follows:
The department has never for mo-
ment considered that you were inten-
tiOnally guilty of wrong in this matter,
but only that you committed a grave
error Of judgment. For this reason,
and to satisfy the authorities of Brazil
who were offended at your action, you
were detached from your command.
The department now feeling assured
that no further action will be neces-
sary 10 prevent the recurrence OF such
errors, will, as soon as practicable, re-
store Won to command"
