Mello's Emissary Active.

The Brazilian cruiser America, which
sailed from New York for Rio Janerio for
the purpose of fighting the rebel Admiral
Mello's war ships, is lying at Bridgetown,
Barbados, so seriously disabled by the
act of an unknown traitor among her
crew that she will probably be unable
TO continue her voyage for several
weeks. One of the vessels valves, among
the most vulnerable parts Of ships ma
chinery, had been purposely broken. A
dispatch was received at the State Depart
ment Wednesday morning from Minister
Thompson announcing the arrival OF Adj
miral Mello on the Aquid aban at the quar-
antine station Of lille Grand. This is the
quarantine station off Rio recently estab-
lished, and the admiral's appears ce there
would seem to indicate that he has recon-
sidered his determination to give battle TO
the America and Nictheroy on high seas,
if, indeed, that was really his purpose In
leaving the harbor several days ago No
news has been received at the Brazilian
legation upon the subject.
