Land Repulsed with Considerable
Loss of Life-Fear to Run the Gaunt-
let of Forts.
NEW YORK, Sept 12 The Herald's

day say;
Brazils naval rebels are having hard
time of it.
Hemmed in within the Bay of Rio,
they fear to run the gauntlet of forts
and torpedoes at the entrance and put
out to sea, and an attempt to land
has been repulsed with considerable
loss of life.
The Brazilian minister here received
telegram to-day saying that the
rebel squadron had fired upon Nictheroy.
Nictheroy is suburban town near the

thirty more wounded. The government
/ losses in the encounter are not reported
The land forces and the garrison in the
| forts remain loyal to President Peixoto,
who reviewed the troops on SUNDAY and
was received with enthusiastic applause
Rio and Nictheroy have been declared
ia a state of siege for the last ten days,
and this condition may be extended to
any part of Brazil where it is deemed
| necessary.
The rebel squadron shows no inclinG-
tion to lssve the bay. The situation is
practically unchanged and commercial
cable dispatches are still prohibited.
The English consul here has warned
all British vessels of the risk of putting
into Rio The Brazilian gunboat Bahia
has gone up the Paraguay river with
orders, in case any Of the ships at Matte
Crosse Join in the revolt against Peixoto,
to engage with them.

HER LETTER oF MARouE.
VIgilant's Victory Settled the Questio
for the Clubs Committee.

VlCilant's Victory Settled the Question
for the Clubs Committee.
The laurels OF the victor were not long
withheld. Before 10 o'clock last night
the following notice was posted in the
New York Yacht Club house:
by direction of the Americas cup
committee it is announced that for the
defense of the Americas s cup against the
challenge of the Valkyrie the committee
have selected the Vigilant BY order Of
the committee
"a. CASE CANFIELD, Secretary"
Every American will rejoice in the
choice of the Vigilsnt for the reason that
she is an out and out American-that is
TO say, centerboard boat. The English
keel principle was embodied in the
Colonia, and tho new Yankee notion Of
the fin in the Jubilee and Pilgrim, and
both have succumbed TO the good old
school Of American yacht racing.
There is however, an entirely new
idea in her construction, whose utility
seems to have been demonstrated. This
is the plating of Tobin bronze with
which she is covered under water. Its
purpose is to avoid the growth Of
barnacles and adhesion of weeds TO her
DOIlOm. ~ Will piouaDif DC BcueioiiJ
adopted by racers in the future In fact,
if there had been time, General Paine
would have had the Jubilee bronze plated
also
The Vigilant is 124 feet in length over
all. Her remeasurement on Friday last
gave her length on the water line Of
S6 10 feet. She is 26 feet beam and OF
Ia feet draught. She was built by the
Herreshoffs for the Morgan Iselin syndi-
cate, under the direction of c. Oliver
Iselin, whose famous yacht, the Titania,
she, though larger, in some re-
spects resembles She is the
largest of the four competitors,
and the biggest centerboard sloop yacht
ever built Captain William Hansen is
her commander, but Nat Herreshoff, one
of her builders, has steered her through
her successful trials Her good work in
the yacht club cruise made her favorite,
and it is probable that she would have
been chosen cup defender had her
victories of Saturday and yesterday been
/ less decisive.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10 Lord Dunravens
English cutter Valkyrie. which will con-
test with the Vigilant for the America
cup on September %, is not expected
here for two days, although she sailed
from London nineteen days ago. Experts
do not expect her to make the voyage in
less than twenty days.

recently arrived show that from the day
the Vaikyrie sailed until yesterday the
weather at sea has been favorable only
ten days.
The yacht requires fair wind and com
paratively smooth sea. With head
winds and sea the voyage might occupy
forty days.
