THE SAN FRANCISCO AT RIO.
Rio DE JANEIRo, Ian. IL. The United
States cruiser San Francisco arrived
here today and the American officers
were astonished to find Admiral De
Mello and his flagship Aquidaban here,
as the last they heard from the rebel
commander at Bahia, was that he was
still operating in the south. Admiral
Benham upon his arrival had long in
tervlew with Captain Picking of The
United States cruiser ChArieston, aud
later received visits from some foreign
officers. Admiral De Mello is reported
to have been in constant communica-
ton with the shore since his arrival
here, and important developments are
expected shortly.
DISASTROUS ExPI osIoNS.
The explosions in the rebel fort Ville-
gaignon and on board the rebel war
ship Tamandare were more serious than
at first stated. The explosion in the
fort is variously reported as of gun and
of a magazine. Fifteen soldiers were
killed and the fort badly damaged. The
ex xploHion of gun on the Tamandsre
killed six marines and wounded eight.
The rebels are reported to be much dis
heartened by these accidents, and Peix-
oto's adherents are encouraged. The
rumor that an agent of Peixoto caused
the explosion in the tort ie denied by
| the rebels.
THE STRIKE ON THE NICTHERoY.
1t is reported that the refusal of the
Nictheroy's crew to sail was not due to
non-payment of wages due, but that
they demanded payment in advance.
The government denies this, and says
the Nictheroy, America, Aurora and
other vessels at Pernambuco will sail
south as soon as the entire feet is gath
cred there. 1t is likewise asserted and
contradicted that the rebels contem-
plate attacking the government feet
and then Rio itself. Peixoto is conf
dent of his ability to successfully de-
fend Rio.
DISGRUNTLED SEAMEN.
|
Conway and 40 seamen who sailed from
New York on the Brazilian cruiser
Nictheioy, arrived here today from Per-
nambuco. While walking on the streets
sailor named Wilson dropped dead.
All the men seem to be in great distress,
and the utmost discomfort prevails
among them. They declare Lieu
tenant Conway wants them to return
to America on the steamer New
York, which sails tomorrow, but several
declare they will not 60. All the sea-
men speak in strong terms of the bad
treatment they received on the Nicthe-
roy, and assert the vessel is unseaworthy
and the officers entirely inefficient. The
men are in the most bitter mood and
most anxious to obtain the money due
! them go they can return homo.
THE END is NOT YET.
