bers of converts of older years, but it is
equally true that to do so they generally
are compelled to advertise like Barnum."

NO NEWS FROM BRAZIL.
The United States War Vessels ON
Their way-Status of the Miantono-
mob.

Nothing concerning the state Of affairs
at Rio developed today. and it Is therefore
believed at the State and Navy departments
that there has been no material change
in the situation. Capt Andrews. the Amer
lean merchantmen commander who claims
that he was imprisoned by President Peix-
OTTO, failed to materialize at the State De-
partment today. according to his promise
and 1t is stated that no complaint from
him has reached this government -.
Tomorrow or next day the Navy Depart
ment expects to hear Of the arrival of the
cruiser San Francisco at Pernambuco, on
her way TO Rio Janeiro. Admiral Benham
has no oredrs to stop there but he will
probably do so to learn something of the
Brazilian situation, and to communicate
with the department. 1t is also likely that
the San Francisco will touch at Bahia.
The status Of the Miantonomoh contin-
ues to be a topic Of speculation among naval
officers and opinion is divided On the Ques-
ton whether she will or will not be sent
to Rio. 1t seems to be definitely settled
that the monitor will go as far south as
Trinidad. but whether she will 20 thence
TO Brazil cannot be learned, although IL is
limited from an authoritative source thas
her future movements will depend alto
gether on the progress of events i'm Brazil
There Is no doubt that one of the reasons
that induced Secretary Herbert to order
both the New York and the Miantonomoh
TO sea was his desire to get them away
from the New York navy yard, where the
usefulness of officers and men was being
impaired with respect to seamanship and
ordnance practice.
