THE RACKET AT RIO.
Neighboring Countries Taking a
Hand in the Business.

Hand in the Business.
Rio JANEIRo, October 9.-The in
surgent fleet again bombarded the
outside forts to-day. There was also
some firing on the other side, oppo
site the city.
1t is believed the insurgents will
attempt to capture the Estrada
powder magazine but the Govern
ment will blow the magazine up If
it seems likely to be in danger of
capture.
There is no truth in the report
that foreign war ships are landing
sailors to protect foreign subjects.
The insurgent Admiral has issued
a manifesto disclaiming any inten-
ton of bombarding the city.
New YORK, October 9..-The Herald
correspondent at Montevideo cables:
News has just been received here
from the Herald correspondent in
Rio Janeiro that President Peixoto
has succeeded at last in purchasing
several torpedo boats in Europe.
They are said to be now on the way
across the Atlantic and are manned
by English crews.
1t is not thought here, however,
that Pexioto could have been sue
cessful, in purchasing any vessel
capable of withstanding an attack
from the rebel war ship Aquidaban,
for instance, or the Republica,
which are both provided with torpe-
do catchers and are armed with guns
of heavy caliber.
A gunboat is about to start from
this port for Rio Janeiro. She will
be sent by the Uruguayan Govern
ment for the purpose of protecting
the rights of such Uruguayans as are
now in the besieged Brazilian capital.
The many reports Of cruelties and
excuses committed by President
Peixoto's soldiers upon defenseless
citizens of Rio, and the highland
ed way in which men have been
forced into the ranks and ordered
to man the forts along the bay
shore, which are being shelled by
the rebel fleet, have aroused the
Uruguayan Government to an ap.
probation of the peril of its citi-
zens who are doing business in Rio,
and marines will be landed, if neces-
sary, from the gunboat now going
there to afford them proper protec-
ton.
The Herald's correspondent in
Buenos Ayres, Argentina, telegraphs
that an expedition of sympathizers
with Admiral Mello in his struggle
against President Peixoto set out
from that city to-day for Rio. DR..
Barras Cassal organized the band.
A considerable quantity Of NUM-
tions of war and provisions were
taken along.
No doubt these will be warmly
welcomed by the rebel Admiral
whose ships are reported to be now
floating high in the water, as the
ammunition and provisions they
contained when the revolt broke out
) have been consumed. Later DIES,
patches received here say she has on
board some artillerymen, as we'll as
infantry, and many of the officers
and leaders of the revolt in RiC
Grande do Sui.
1t is reported also that Ruy Bar
bosa, who was recently forced to flee
from Rio in disguise to avoid the
vengeance of Peixoto on account /
, his known sympathy for Mello's
movements, is planning to stir up &
revolt in the province of Bahia
against the President. The rich
maritime province would furnish
Mello with a fine basis for supplies
and its capital of the same name
controls harbor which is one Of
the best in either America and suit
able for vessels of any size.
!, VIENNA, October 9.-The Austrian
corvette Serinyi. at Gibraltar, has
been ordered to Rio Janeiro.
