Washington Onicials DO Not Believe He
Recognized the Brazilian Insurgents as
Beiligeronts-some Of the Gossip of the
Capital.
WASHINGTON, Dec 27.-Minister Men
donca Of Brazil believes that the crisis of
the Brazilian revolution is at hand and
that the decisive stroke will be made this
week. He says that the two great iron
clads Of Admiral Mello and the hotilla of
little torpedo craft hastily improvised by
President Peixoto are rapidly nearing each
other. The minister says that "A collision
is almost certain to occur before next Mon
day. He recognizes that the little torpedo
and dynamite boats are tremendously
overmatched by the rebel ships, but he
counts much on the ability of the small
boats to maneuver quickly and to dis
charge their novel explosives.
In some respects the engagement will be
similar to that between the big Confeder-
ate ram Merrimac and the original Moni-
tor Senior Mendonca is hopeful and con-
fident that the Mello fleet will be defeated
and that the Peixoto ships will then be
able TO turn their attention TO the other
rebel admiral, Cana, who is in Rio harbor
menacing the city
Thompson Story Not Believed.
Not a particle OF credence IS placed here
in the report from Buenos Ayres that
Minister Thompson at Rio de Janeiro has
recognized the insurgents as belligerents.
1t is improbable that MIR. Thompson would
take any such step before receiving instruc-
tions from Washington. and it can be
stated with assurance that he has received
no such authority. An official who is in
possession of all the information as to the
exact status of affairs in Brazil, as far as
this country is concerned, said: you can
be assured that there is not the least truth
in the report. Minister Thompson thus
far has received only the ordinary instruc-
/ tions sent all foreign ministers as to what
constitutes belligereney, and without spe
cihc instructions he would not dare to take
such a step"
The state and navy departments would
undoubtedly receive prompt notification
should such a thing happen, but the Off
cials Of neither department have received
dispatches from Rio de Janeiro.

Dangers of the Season.

The sudden changes in weather in
the latter part of the winter and early
spring are source of colds and coughs
The season is particularly dangerous
one for persons with weak lungs or of
delicate constitution. a slight cold is
likely 10 become a serious one, and
the cough that follows is the one
great cause of the many deaths from
consumption in the early spring.
Never neglect a cold or a cough.
Keep a reliable remedy on hand and
check the first cough, that may lead to
consumption. As such a remedy the
medicine called Kemp's Balsam is
strongly recommended. For every
form of throat and lung disorder, in
cludins the la grippe, cough and con-

A Chivalrous Custom.

With the fifteenth century the age OF
ehivalry passed away, but among tho
many acts of courtesy which can be
traced back to its influence none are
more direct in their origin than that of
lifting the hat in salutation. At that
time knights appeared in public in full
armor. 1t became custom, however,
for a knight, upon entering an assem-
bly, of friends, to remove his helmet,
signifying, II am safe in the presence
of friends" The observance never
wholly died out, and to this day the hat
is lifted in recognition Of Q friend. x
