The remains of the Brazilian rebel feet
commanded by Admiral Mello which
arrived off this port Monday night, were
the subject of extensive exchanges of
Geographic messages between the au-
thorities of this place and the Brazilian
government, through the Brazilian min
lister here.

ers, super1ntended the delivery of the
five war vessels to the Brazilian min

The Crews of Rebel Ships
were disembarked at the lazarretto here
and will be cared for until further orders
are received from Rio Janeiro. 1t is be-
lieved that when the men and ships are
III a proper condition they will rejoin
the Brazilian vessels under government
officers and return to Rio Janeiro.
President Peixoto's government has
notified the government of Uruguay that
the expenses and passage money here of
the insurgents who landed in the depart
ment of Rocha, Uruguay, will be paid
by the Brazilian government. and that
they may all, with the exception of the
leaders, return to Brazil with no fear of
being severely punished for the part
which they have taken in the rebellion.
Nothing seems to be known of the
ultimate destination of
Admiral NIeIIo and General SaIgado,
though it is believed that the former
will take the earliest opportunity of
escaping to some foreign country where
he can hide himself for the rest of his
life. On all sides the utmost contempt
is expressed for Admiral Mello, whose
desertion of Admiral Da Cana is looked
upon as being piece of cowardly
treachery which even the admiral's
intimate supporters condemn: To such
an extent does this feeling prevail that it
is openly stated that Da CANA proposes
to seek out Admiral Mello and compel
him to
Meet Him in Mortal Combat.
Those who should know Admiral Mello
the best believe that he will take care to
avoid any such meeting. If the rebel
admiral falls into the hands of President
Peixoto there is little doubt but that he
will be promptly tried by courtmartial
and shot.

San FRANCISCO, April 17.-There is
$4,000, 900 lying idle in the San Fran
cisco commercial banks-money for
which the bankers can find no use. This
is said to be the largest surplus that has
been known for many years and it isstill
growing. The banks do not like it, as
they prefer to hold good interest bearing
securities instead of gold coin, which
does not pay rents for the vault it occu-
pies. This money is offered for loan as
low as per cent on first security, but
all collateral is scrutinized more closely
than was the case year ago, and un-
less it is gilt-edged the money is hardly
loaned at any rate.

only disturbance in the connellsville
coke region Monday was at the Wheel
er works of the Cambria Iron company,
when the women drove the men from
the yards. No one was hurt. The
wo men are still en- the ground and de-
clare they will remain there IN order to
keep the plant closed down. The other.
works in the region are generally In
operation.
The leaders of the strike now admit
that the failure of the Prick men to
come out has killed the strike. The
strikers are so discouraged that they are
ready to go to work at any time. They
are only waiting for the strike to be de-
clared off.
The scenes around the Wheeler and

PREPARING FOR THE STRIKE.

Expect the Increase.

Expect the Increase.
PTTsBURG, April Arrangements
for the coal miners strike, which is to
take place next Saturday, have been
nearly completed At conference held
yesterday between National Organizer
Cameron Miller and District President
Cairns, series of meetings was ar
ranged to take place while the strike is
i'll progress to keep up enthusiasm and
keep the men in line.
In few days circulars will be sent
out to the operators notifying them that
the miners demand a restoration of the
old price for mining, which is 80 cents
i'll this district. 1t is evident from the
short official notice, which the operators
Will receive, that the miners do not ex-
pect them to accede to the advance in
wages asked for, as the operators would
scarcely have time to come together and
formulate reply before the strike is
declared. 1t is thought, however that
they will agree upon some concentrated
action before the strike Is well under
Roadway, in order to protect thelns lives.
1t is pretty certain that some of them
at least are now preparing to continue
operations with the new men the mo-
ment their present employees lay down
their picks. They claim that about one
half of the 100000 miners in the country
are out of work, and have been idle the
most of the winter because they could
find no employment. They are conse-
quently very poor, and anxious to go to
work at any price. 1t is therefore
claimed that the operators will have no
trouble in getting men to take their
