WASHINGTON. Nov. ls.-A cipher
telegram received by the navy depart
ment last evening from Capt Picking,
under Yesterdays date. from Rio de
Janeiro. is looked upon a. significant
and possibly indicating IA weakening
of the strength Of the insurgent fleet
under Admiral Mello. The translation
was a. follows:
Naval representatives OF eight nations. In
GLIDING our nation. have decided not To per-
init munitions OF var 10 he landed at Rio
Santos oeing still In possession OF the Brazil
ian government. and connected with Rio de
Janeiro by railway. munitions OF war can be
landed at Santos Yesterday the Insurgents
dressed ship The Brazilian government forts
fired a national salute in honor OF the cstab-
lishment cf the republic
The only Interpretation to be put
upon this dispatch is that the naval
representatives at Rio have decided
that there shall Ice no interference
with commerce and have formally mott
fed the insurgent admiral they will
prevent il The probabilities are. and
this is the view taken by government
officials here. that this action weakens
Mello very much, for IL he cannot close
the ports of Rio aud bring the city
into subsection it cannot be coniec-
turel how he can make his rebellion
successful
Ii looks TO naval officers very much
ss il Mello had been badly Grip
pied. This action is in line with that
Indicated in previous dispatches from
Capt Picking TO the effect that foreign
representatives held conference and
notified Mello that he must respect the
nationality of any lighter engaged in
unloading vessels and flying the flag
At its bow indicating its nationality.
1t appears that studied fort has
been made to give Mello no excuse to
fire upon the city.
An agreement was made some time
ago that there should be no firing be-
tween the forces in Rio and the insur-
gents in the bay. This was violated
on one occasion. although it is not
known il any damage resulted. To-
DAYS dispatches indicate that the
naval officers on duty there in their
protection of foreign interests are de-
termined that this agreement shall be
enforced: for this last notice is the re-
suit of concerted action on the part Of
the allied powers to prevent any firing
upon the city and damage to commerce
