Foreigners Blamed For
His Present Plight.
HIS RIGHT TO SHELL RIO.
Shows That the Government Was at
the Mercy Of His Squadron.

RIO DH JANEIRo, Feb. 2.-Ths conference
of naval commanders of tho various ma
lions represented here to discuss the 40
ton Of Admiral Benham In protecting
American vessels who wished 10 70 to
their whsrves against interference on
the part Of the insurgents, received the
following letter from Admiral da Gamai
"At the beginning of the revolution the
city Of Rio Janeiro was defended by six
field pieces and was at the mercy Of the
squadron In the harbor The chiefs Of
the foreign naval fleets, In . collective
and unanimous note, declared that they
would oppose with force bonn bardment
unless 10 was provoked from the land. On
learning of this President Psixoto with
drew his field pieces. and by strstagsm
began the work Of refortifying the city
with numerous and heavy guns.
"The work was begun secretly aud COM
pleted openly. All the hills In ths city
were marked by Notifications and the
monastries and factories were converted
into fortresses. Trenches were dug In the
streets, and other methods were taken 10
make the city secure, Along with these
measures 1t was reported that II was the
intention Of the government soon 70 open
fire upon the squadron"
The Ground For Complaint
After making this statement Admiral
da Cana in his communication asks:
"Are the conditions the samei Are you
not to blame for the changer Should you
not force Peixoto TO keep his oompacti
The TASK of the squadron Is more arduous,
bloody and dangerous, but We do NOS
falter.
"Our compact will be kept to the last,
but we reserve the right to reply 70 the
city batteries when they deserve II with
out notice. The blame for the result will
be upon you"
Admiral Benham sent word to Admiral
da Cana that he would not interfere
with his military operations. and told
him that he would only object when he
fired on American ships for the purpose
of frightening them from going to their
wharves.
Admiral Benham says that no compact
foreign fleets. They withdrew from their
agreement for the protection Of the city
against bonn bardment.
The admiral thinks that az Rio de ia
metro is fortified, he will not be justified
In interfering with any move on the part
of Admiral Benham to bonn bard the city.
Admiral Benham has warned the com
manders of American ships In the harbor
that bombardment Is possible. He has
told them what they should do, and indi-
Gated to what extent he could protect

The American Branch Of
Big Machine Works.
PAWTUCKET HAS THE CALL.
Firm Will Give Employment to 1900
Expert Workmen.

There Is a possibility that the American
branch of the firm OF Howard q Bullough,
manufacturers OF machinery, may not
locate In Pawtucket, although nothing

with him in this enterprise Is the Howard
& Bullough Machine Company of Ac-
crington, Eng.
The only other American director is
Charles Il. Riley Of Boston, who has been
the company's agent in this country.
As Mr.. Potter resides in tbis city and
knows its advantages as a manufacturing
center he pressed the claims of Pawtucket
for the new enterprise.
The preparatory shop has already been
tablished in the skating rink building
and is lifted up with all modern ma
chinery.

MIR. Potter was seen by a TRIBUNE re-
porter and confirmed the report that the

THE "BULLY" RESCUER
Harkins is Denounced by Frequenters Of the
mission"


The people are beginning to wonder
how much longer the authorities will
allow the Rescue NISSAN to exist under
its present management.
While making pretension to suppress
ing vice in this city the police are really
fostering it by sanctioning the unwhoie-
some affairs held nightly and dignified by
the name OF gospel meetings.
Usually the intent OF Young people In
attending these meetings is as good as
that OF u person gong to church. But
spending two or three hours In an at
mosphere pregnated with the heavy
breaths OF unsteady topers has not beni-
icent influence on the average young
man.
The emission" has been source OF an
noyance ever since the present manager
took charge.
A prominent citizen, speaking OF the
latest work OF the "rescuer," said IL was
beyond bis understanding why the au.
thorities did not take a hand IN the mat
ter Of suppressing the den. IT'S dis
grace To the city.
When the police removed the posters
rejecting on the Klrmess yesterday after
noon Harkins informed them that he
would keep them busy In that line.
officer Mclaughlin kept a sharp lookout,
but the alleged soul-saver did not carry
his threat into execution.
Today the Mrs. Smith TO whom Har-
kins referred to Yesterday as being res
pUnsible tor the vile poster, called at the
TRIBUNE Office and made an emphatic
denial. She had attended the emission"
in a Christian spirit with members OF the
W. +. G. u. and Y. M. Z. A, but was not
In sympathy with the poster nor the
brutal work OF the "rescuer."
