for Brazil to-day. In circles where Brazil
docs most predominant the world of South
American traders it was said to-day that a
fresh supply of money had been received
from President Peixoto and that new boats
would be bought at once. There is no
doubt that Charles r. Flint & Co. have re-
ceived assurances from the Government
that the departure Of the ships which they
have bought should not be interfered with.
The only thing that the Government
asks is that the foreign enlistment act"
will not be violated. 1t is not necessary
that 1t should be. either, for every man
who has enlisted to 60 to South America
on the ships which Flint & Co. are fitting
out for the Brazilian Government is
shipped with the distinct understanding
that when the ship reaches foreign port
he can do what he likes.
Flint & Co. have options on most of the
available merchant vessels sailing out of
this port. and there is determination to
put a navy afioat for PeiXoto which will
be a formidable one. 1t is probable that
the contract for the III. F. Dimock will be
closed on Monday.
