THE SECOND CRUISER
Of the new Brazilian feet will, according
to Minister Meudonca. be ready for sail

week. She will follow directly in the
course of the NictherOy. and after she
sails the Brazilian minister will remain

Meudonca said tonight that he did not

he believed MelIo's force could make no

brazilian minister expects TO leave for
Washington some time early next

( has been hustle and hustle today, every
effort being made to hasten the ships
+ departure. Everything went smoothly
until o'clock, and up TO that time it
seemed certain that she would get away
before night. When, however, the
Feiseen and the Javelin were brought
down at that hour. 1t was found that
the work of getting them aboard will be
greater than had been expected. At 6
O'Clock an unforeseen accident post
poned matters for the time. 1t is SAID
that Jarges with powerful derrcks are
on their way down u help hoist the
boats on board. II hardly seems pos
sible that the ship can sail tonight
although she may do so. The dynamite
gun was tested five or six times with
blank cartri1 ges this afternoon. proving
a great success. Capt. Zalinski is much
pleased. He Will remain on board until
the last moment.
