There Is "A revolution again I'm Brazil. and the
Navy Department is encounterlng difficulty in find
ing vessels TO send to that country to look out for
American interests there. But this has made no
change at the Navy Yard thus far True. the San
Francisco. flagship of the North Atlantic Squad
rom has been ordered To 20 to the Navy y ard TO
be- stocked with three months provisions in an
ticipation Of going south. This. however, 40 far
az is known has nothing to do with Brazil. the
vessel is ordered to get ready 10 80 TO Greytown.

tcrests of the Nicaragua Canal Company. Never
theless 1t is thought by that she will be all
ready TO go down to Rio de Janeiro without any
delay in this should he desired
other than this. there is no extra preparation on
hand In the Navy Yard to send vessels away. The
kearsarge IL expected to come 10 the yard before
long but she recently repaired at the Ports
mouth yard. and probably will not require much
work. II any at all The San Francisco will prob
ably bc put into the drydock at the yard on
Wednesday. as II is expected that the Marblehead
will he out by that time: she will be cleaned and
painted. and will receive the necessary stores and

been in the ironworks IN New-York TO see the new
cruiser Narblehead have had the chance in the
last week just how far advanced toward
completion she IL. and how large and now fine a
vessel she will be when she leaves the contractors
hands. The history of the Marblehead thus far has
been one of unfortunate delays. She was con
,racted for and begun by Harrison Loring Co.,
OF Boston. but the company failed In the course of
her construction. The Quintard Company was the
assignee and took the vessel to complete Tho
