President Peixoto demanded that the ad-
miral and officers who were WIN nun NC
delivered into his hands. The Portuguese
ministers declined to order the COMMANDER
of the Mindello to surrender the IuSltNeS
and President PeiXoto appealed, 1t is salu,
TO the Portuguese government to instruct
its minister to order the surrender Oh the
insurgent officers Whether reply has
been received to this request or not cannes
be definitely stated, but this afternoon the
Mindello and the Albuquerque, another
Portuguese Warship, having on board Ad-
7r1,ral ia CANA ana seventy OF his officers,
n1t TO sea. If had been thought in some
quarters that if the vessels attempted to
leave the bay with the fuSitiVcS on board
trouble would come. There was not, now
ever, the slightest opposition made to their
departure and as a matter of fact, trouble
arising from this source, was never proba-
BILE The destination of the WarShipS IS
not known. 1t is conjectured that they
will go south to NonteVejdo ana land the
insurgent officers there. If they are landed
a; >,uu Ve.uo thew can easily. if they
are so disposed, join the insurgents in the
states of Sac Paulo and Rio Grande do
Sui, WstC are still in armed opposition to
the government.
Anything said regarding their movement,
is, however, merely speculative. The fact
that Admiral da CANA and his officers have
succeeded in getting out Of the bay is a
matter of great rejoicing a:nong their
friends in this city. There is 20 doubt in
the minds of anybody that had the ad-
mral been surrendered to the government
his trial by a drum-head CONTINENTAL would
have quickly followed.
