ing forces at Rio, with disastrous effect on
both Sides
The following brief cablegram was receiv-
ed by Acting Secretary McAdoo last night:
RIO, November -
Secretary Navy, Washington, d. c.:
Monitor Javary just sunk by gun of
Brazilian fort.
(SignedD PICKING.
The Javary, although disabled, has been
of great service to Admiral Mello, because
of her heavy armor and guns. She was
designed for a speed of 11.2 knots, but 1t is
understood that owing to the disablement
of her machinery it was necessary to tow
her about the harbor with a tug. In this
way she was used effectively as floating
battery, but of course it was difficult for
her to so maneuver as to escape severe pun
ishment at times from the heavy Krupp
guns in the loyal forts. From the meager
statement of fact contained in the cable
gram it is supposed that her sinking was
the result of an accidental shot, probably
a shell finding its way through weak spot
and bursting in the Interior rather than as
the outcome of a severe and prolonged at
tack upon her.
The Javary was an iron monitor. 40
feet long. - beam and displacing 800
tons. She had an armor belt of twelve
inches in thickness and her turrets were
thirteen inches thick, the armor backed by
nine and three-quarter inches of oak. She
was a twin-screw vessel drawing eleven
feet five inches of water. and of 800 horse
power. She had an Anticipated but very
DOWnrfnI a
made up of four ten-inch Whitworth muz-
zle-loadng rifles, six five-inch breech-load-
ing rifles and five machine guns.
The fact that Capt Picking makes no
mention of the fall of Fort Lage. which is
reported i'm the morning dispatches, leads
naval officers To doubt the story.

NO SLAP At MARTIN
In the Removal of the Postmaster 81,
Kansas city.

The statement from Topeka, Kansas. to
the effect that the removal yesterday of
Postmaster ThoTas and the appointment
of A. j. Arnold was regarded there as a
slap at Senator Martin, because of his
opposition to the administrators financial
policy, is disavowed by the depa -tment Off
Gals. Postmaster Thomas was removed. il
is said, solely because of questionable con-
duct in regard to the removal of large
number of clerks and carriers Senate
Martin was some time ago notified of the
intention of the department to remove
Thomas and Arnold was one of the men
whom Martin suggested as Thomas success
sor. Yesterdays action was taken soieIy
for the good of the service, and it will be
adhered to.
