Nothing Confirmatory.

As far as can be as certained in the absence of Minister Men donca and his secretary. nothing has been received at the Brazilian legation here about events in Brazil.
 At the cabinet meeting Secretary Gresh- am read late advices from Minister Thomp- son showing the gravity of the situation in Brazil, but during the discussion that followed there was nothing to indicate that the authorities are looking for & climax for some days to come. The ques- tion of the course to be pursued by the large naval force to be concentrated in Brazilian waters was the principal topic of discussion. Secretary Herbert explained what had been done toward augmenting the forces there.
 That the authorities diScredit the rumor of PeiXoto's downfall is evident from the fact that no cessation of the preparations of the New York and Miantonomoh have been ordered.

 Alleged Victory DIseredItsd In All Other
 Ports.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-A sensation was Occasioned at the state and navy depart ments by the press dispatches reporting that Admiral Mello had captured the city of Rio and had succeeded President Peix- oto in the control of the government. The rumor quickly spread throughout the building, and there was at once an ex- change of visits between the state and navy department officials to ascertain if either had any official confirmation of the report
 Up to the close of office hours nothing had been received by either department from their respective representatives in Rio and the absence of information caused the suspicion that if the rumor were not true the crisis was being reached and that the cable had been interfered with as a re suit.
 That the end had been reached, however, and that Nello was victorious, was not generally credited While not unprepared for such a result, the authorities are not expecting it yet. The advices received did not indicate an immediate crisis, and judg- ing from the situation as last reported the officials do not see how il would be possi- ble for Mello to make a successful coup at

Hurry With the Coal.

In order that there may be no delay in coaling the New York, Captain Philip was ordered to anchor down the bay and take in coal from barges alrrady engaged for the purpose. She already has 500 tons of coal in her bunkers, and the 100 tons ad- ditional which are necessary to fill them will be on board tonight. To further fla ciltate matters, her ammunition will probably be sent up from Fort Wads- worth by a tug and will be stored on her deck to be transferred to the magazine room after she has put to sea.
 With her l,5OO tons of coal she will be able to steam lS,0OO miles at her most economical speed of II knots. Her trip to Rio, however, will doubtless be at 15 knot speed, and it is estimated that she will make the voyage m 15 days or less
