THE BRAZILIAN NINSURRECIION
ANNOYING DELAYS TO wARSHIPS.
THE CHARLESTON BREAKS HER STEERING GEAA
AND THE DETROIT MUST WAIT FOR
FURTHER TRIAL.

Washington, Sept. "a series OF embarrassing
and provoking incidents is preventing the Cnited
States from furnishing speedy protection to the ex-
tensive American interests in Brazil endangered BY
the revolutionary outbreak. The Charleston Is de-
layed in sailing from Montevdeo for Rio de Janeiro
bv an accident to her steering gear; the Detroit mas
been stopped in her voyage to Brazilian waters on
account of the discovery that 1t necessary for
her to comply with certain conditions preliminary
TO her final acceptance by the Government, ana tne
Newark cannot .eave Norfolk until Sunday or Mon-
day These delays, under existing circumstances,
are decidedly embarrassing.
The Charleston arrived at Monteyideo yesterday
and her commander found orders there directing
him ito proceed with dispatch to Rio de Janeiro
This morning a dispatch was received at the Navy
Department from the commander, Captain H. r.
Picking stating that the Charlestons steering gear
had broken down and that 1t would be necessary 70
coal before sailing for Brazilian waters. Owing to
the fact that coaling at Montevdeo is attended with
great difficulty and Is seldom accomplished In less
than two days the department takes the hopeful
view that the steering gear be repaired while
coaling is m progress and therefore the cruiser will
not be delayed longer than was expected.
A dispatch was hastily sent TO. Fort Monroe yes
terday directing the commander of the Detroit to
sent TO him. The vessel had gone. however, but
was sgnalled Cape Henry, and Is now in Hamp-
Roads awaiting instructions. Instructions VIII

and therefore the Detroit can hardly sail for
Rio de Janeiro until late Monday afternoon or
Tuesday morning 1t Is likely that the Newark

railroads are prohibited from selling tickets any
