little or no advantage to either H.a THE
general opinion is that there will unf ha
much change iu the situation until Ad-
mirai de Mello arrives here rlm the
south, or until something unforeseen hap
pens, which may turn the tide one way or
the other
If the reports just received here from the
south are correct some time wu.' nIur,c

are said to be aware of this fact, and to
be preparing for something like a real
engagement.
But such reports have been so frequently
circulated that people here are becoming
heartily tired Of them and would be glad
to see pitched engagement between the
two forces, which would definitely decide
the rebellion one way or the other. Few
people, however, place faithin statements
coming from either side, and the business
community is becoming more and more
thoroughly disgusted with the inaction of
the government and the tOrpidity of the
insurgents.
