WILL IMPRESS THE FELONS.
THE NiCTHERoY IN PURSUIT.

PERANIBUCo, Dec. 25.-The situation
of affairs has very materially changed in
this city uithin the lasufew hours. Until
this morning Pernambuco believed its
harbor was to be the scene of the first big
naval battle between the RepublIca and
AQuida ban on one side and the cruiser
Nictneroy on the other. The news re-
ceived here this morning changed the
whole aspect of affairs. The rebel war
ships it was then learned were not on the
way to Pernam buco but had sailed to-
ward the island of Fernando de Noronha,
where there is large convict settlement.
The revolutionary admiraPs object in GO
ing to Fernando de Noronha, which is
over 100 miles from the main coast, is TO
compel as many able bodied convicts as
can be found in the settlement to go aboard
the vessels and join the crews.
1t is said he expects to secure not less
than 1000 men this way. Upon the receipt
Of this news aboard the Nictheroy there
was great activity. Members of the crew
were sent ashore in small boats to search
through the town for such of the Sicthe-
roy's men as had been allowed leave to
land and hurry them back to the ship.
This afternoon when all the men belong
ing to the NictherOy's crew had been
got aboard the Government battleship
she weighed anchor, steamed out to sea
and pointed her nose for the northeast. 1t
is understood tbe Nictheroy's destination
is sthe island of Fernando de Noronha. If
this information is correct the long ex-
pected sea battle between the revolutionist
and Government war vessels will, in all
probability, be fought within a short
time.
New YORK, Dec. 25--The cruiser New
York will sail from the Brooklyn navy
yard tomorrow morning, undoubtedly for
Rio Janeiro.

President Peixoto has withdrawn pay and

New Laws for Athletes Philo
Jacoby'S Iameutatiou.

The Pacific Association OF the Amateur
Athletic Union has been meeting several
times recently with view OF establishing
such rules as will bring the association
prominently before the Amateur Union Of
the United States.
The following rule was unanimously
adopted in council which sat in Oakland a
few evenings ago, viz. That all open con-
tests in field and track athletics, boxing,
wrestling and swimming must be approved
by the officers of the association before
they can take place. This includes
matches between individuals from differ
emit clubs. but does not apply TO private
club competitions. All athletes cOmpet-
ing in unapproved contests VIII be at once
suspended until their cases are acted upon :;
and clubs giving such events will render
them selves liable TO suspension or such
penalty as the board may deem proper.
All com muuications applying for sanction
will be addressed to +. w. Bancroft, Ber-
kelley, Cal.
The above rules will be enforced on and
after the first day of January. 1894
The Acme Athletic Club of Oakland
proposed TO hold a grand bicycle meeting
at the Oakland track yesterday. but owing
TO the unfavorable weather and track the
committee wisely concluded TO postpone
the meeting indefinitely. Last evening,
however, the club gave smoker" in its
handsome apartments in Oakland, which
was largely attended by members of the
Bay City Wheelmen and Olympic Club of
this city. The affair passed off very
pleasantly.

the most popular member of the Schutzen
Club, was looking somewhat downcast and

MAXWELL LAND GRANT.
Hoke Smith Makes Very Dignified
Exclamation

DENVER, Dec. Ex-Governor Waite has
received from Hoke Smith, Secretary of
the Interior. reply to the letter the Gov
ernor wrote last month, characterizing the
Maxwell land grant as "honeycombed
with fraud" The Secretary's reply is dig
nihed and respectful and directs attention
TO the eonfrmat0ry act of Congress and
the decisions of the United States Supreme
Court as to the validity of the grant, and
closes by saying if the Interior Depart
ment should disregard such legislation and
adjudication and restore to the local Office
plats Of public surveys of the grant for
hiings and entry. the only result would be
TO mislead innocent parties into making
entries of lands to which the department
would be wholly powerless to convey title.

and the work Of the prima donna, Miss
Greenwood, and her associates was
evidently highly satisfactory to them
all.
The story of the opera has already
appeared in THE TIMES, and, although
it will never be the great success of
many Of the other pieces in Mas Green
woods repertoire, it gives good chance
to display tho very decided vocal abih.
ties Of the star in the title role and the
other members OF the cast. Next to
MISS Greenwood, whose rendition of
"Dixle" brought down the house, the
work Of Helen st. Clair as Byzantine,
the mayors wife, was the most accept
able. She has fine contralto voice of
much sweetness and power.
w. p. Guiberson, as Narcesse, the vii
lage barber, took his part to perfection,
and his singing was one Of the features
of the entertainment. Tom Martin and
Robert Lett furnished the fun and, es-
pecially the former, proved themselves
comedienS of no mean ability. The
chorus of the company is excellent.
