A Naval Demonstration.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-That the
cruiser New York will go to Rio ia
metro in the event that it is necessary
to strengthen the United States feet
in Brazil, has been decided by Sec eta
~ Herbert. No orders have been sent
to ner commander, Capt. J. w. Philip,
to proceed 70 the Brazilian capital, but
he has been directed to pre- pare his YES
sci for sea without delay, in order that
she can leave for Brazil immediately
upon receipt of orders to that effect.
It is stated at the Navy Department
that the New York will not be ordered
to Rio If no change takes place 10 the
present situation there; but 1t Is be-
lieved that affairs are nearlrg a crisis
that will call for her presence at Rio:
Orders have also been issued by the
Department directing that the double
turreted monitor MlantonOmoh, now
at the Brooklyn navy yard, be prepared
for sea as speedily as possible. The
Miantonomoh will be fitted out subject
to the same conditions governing the
preparation Of the New York; and If
the expected should occur, the two ves-
sells will proceed to Riu in company.
There was no secret made today at
the State and Navy Departments OF
the reasons that have induced this gov
ernment to increase its naval force in
Brazil. The United States government
feels that the commerce of thiscountry
has been interferred with by the Bra
lillian trouble. Merchant vessels have
been ordered from their accustomed
anchorage to a point farther away
from the line Of fire, and the first law
of nature has compelled the foreign
warships to do likewise. The anchor
age for merchantmen Is situated north
of the Rio arsenal and between that
point and Enchadas Islands and
another small island are in the posses
sion of the insurgents. From these
four positions they are pouring shot
and shell into the arsenal and the Gus.
tom house. The line Of fire is directly
across the prescribed anchorage for
merchant vesselss All the American
business houses are situated in the Vi
cinity of the custom house and the al
senal, and the constant firing prevents
the transaction of business. American
ships cannot, from their pres Int posi-
tion, communicate with the shore, and
commerce is being seriously crippled d.
In addition to this, it is expected that
when the final battle begins in earnest
the business houses of Americans will
suffer considerably.
1t is to prevent this interference
with commerce and destruction OF
American interests that an imposing
naval demonstration will be made by
the United States at Rio. The expec
fancy of q turn in events Is acute In
both the State and Navy Departments
and almost any moment may witness
tie United States taking part In the
controversy which it has endeavored to
escape by a policy of non-recognition
and non.interference'

s7ATEWAR RELIC MUSEUM.
Inauguration of Movsment to Secure
One.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Dec. 20:-A de.
termined effort is to be made looking to
the establishment of a State mueeum OF
Revolutionary and Confederate war re-
lies, Such az flags, etc, in which the
State is so.wealthY. The object is to
establish this museum and set apart
quarters for it in the State Capitol build
ing, were all strangers and lovers ofre-
lies can 60 at any time and inspect the
exhibits.
Some weeks ago Adjt. Gen. Farley
received the following letter from Gen.
M. G. Butler, which letter has caused
the Inauguration of this effort which
will likely result in the establishment
of such a museum:
'EDaEF1ELD, Nov. 80, 1893.
Gen, 81. L. Farley:
Dear Sir: Let me make suggestion.
T find there are great many relics Of
the Revolutionary as we'll as the Con-
federate war in tho hands OF private
parties that ought to be in a State mu-
scum. As time goes on these parties
take less interest in them and my sugges-
ton Is that you arrange to have them
deposited IN the Adjutant Generals
Office for safe keeping. Some plain
glass cases along the walls would not
occupy much, sspace and would not cost
much. Don't you think you could get
the Legislature to allow you a small
appropriation to start il and then invite
people to deposit their relics?
Yours very truly,
NJ. G. BuTAER.
Gen. Farley has been sinking over
the suggestion of Gen. Butler Tor some
time. Yesterday Gen. Kershaw came
to the city and after brief consulta-
ton he and Gen. Fairly called upon
Governor Tillmau. A consultation was
held by these three tor quite time.
It was decided to undertake the estab,
lishment of such museum at once.
Governor Tillman and Gen. Farley will
not ask for an appropriation at this
session OF the General Assembly, but
will appropriate 30 much of their con-
tlngent funds as may be necessary to
carry out the scheme. They request
all parties who have relics of either
war to send them to Adjt. Gen. Farley,
together with brief historical sketch
of The articles. They will be properly
taken cure of and marked with the
name OF the owner. Any articles that
may have belonged to distinguished
men, any battle faga, or any articles
with associations of an historical nature,
etc., are wanted. The object is to'get
as many of these relics as possible into
the hands OF the Adjutant General by
next fall, when a grand meeting OF the
people of the State will be arranged to
be held in the hall of the House of Rep
resentatives, at which the notable rel
les will be presented and displayed by
men who know their history. This
accomplished, the Legislature will be
asked to establish an attractive museum
in the Capitol building.

existing before the laWleSS lanQlng or
the United States forces at Honolulu on
the 18th of January last, II such restor-
alton be effected upon terms providing
for clemency as well al justice to all
parties concerned. The conditions sug-
eested, as the instructions show, con-
template general amnesty to those
concerned In setting up the provisional
government, and recognition Of all Its
bona fde acts and obligations. In short
they require that the past should be
buried, and that the restored govern
ment should reassume Its authority as
if its continuity had not been interrupt
ed. These conditions have not proved
acceptable to the Queer, and though she
has been Informed that they will be in
sisted upon, and that unless acceded to
the efforts of the President to aid In
the restoration of her government will
cease, have not thus far learned that
she is willing to yield them her &C.
quiescence.
"The check which my plans have
thus far encountered has prevented
their presentation to the members OF
the provisional government, while un-
fortunate public Misrepresentation OF

our people have obviously injured the

fore, the military occupation of Hon-
olulu by the United States on the day
mentioned was wholly without justii-
cation, either as an occupation by con-
sent or as an occupation necessitated
by dangers threatening American life
and property. 1t must be accounted
for in some other way and on some
other ground, and its real motive and
purpose are neither obscure nor far to
seek"
In further discussing these events,
the President says: when our minis
ter recognized the provisional govern
ment, the only basis upon which 1t
rested was the fact that the commit
tee of safety had in the manner above
stated declared it to exist. 1t was
neither a government de facto nor de
jure."
Of the state of perplexity in which
this state of things placed tho Queen
Mr.. Cleveland says:
"If the Queen could have dealt with
the insurgents alone, her course would
have been plain and the result would
have been unmistakable. But the
United States had allied itself with
her enemies, had recognized them as
the true government of Hawaii, and
had put her and her adherents in the
position of opposition against lawful
authority. She knew that she could
not withstand the power Of the United
States, but she believed that she might
safely trust to its justice. According.

the extra iorce before be knew the mat
ter was coming up.
Mr.. Haskell said it was in the air thai
these clerks were dismissed after atten-
ton had been called ito the unnecessary
numner IN the Senate.
Mr.. Tupper, of Charleston, said be
had known the Attorney General fol
wears and that he was an honorable
gentlsman. AS such he felt sure that
the Attorney General was perfectly
willing to have his actions thoroughly
investigated
Mr.. Magill, of Abbevllle, said bis re-
solution was not intended to cover uI
anything. 1t was an injustice to go any
further, and be moved to table Mr.. Has
kell's amendment.
Mr.. Yeldell said that this waste Of
time was attributable to Mr.. Ha skell,
who could have investigatiVed the mat
ter in the committee room if he had
been there. If the Attorney
General had the right to employ one
clerk be had the right to employ dozen
or more.
Mr.. Haskell replied to this by saying
that he had stayred away from the COM
mittee meeting for good and satisfactory
reason. Whenever he thought that he
could not be of any use he attended the
meetings, but when there was no use
for him he attended 10 other business.
His amendment was lost by vote Of
81 to IS.
MIR. Bacot wished 10 add this to Mr.
Magill's resolution: But they deem II
best for the Attorney General himself
and others that a committee be appoint
ed"
Mr.. Blease declared that it was time
for this foolishness to stop; that precious
time was being wasted, and he called
for the previous question.
Mr.: Magili's resoltlon was agreed to-
so no investigation will be made.
