rebel ships and permission for superior
officers to resign their posts and sail for
Europe under promise never to take up

Peixoto and his Cabinet held a meeting
to consider these proposals and the result
Of their deliberations was that the Presi-
dent replied to the Portuguese Minister,
through the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
that he could not receive any conditional
proposals of surrender from persons in
active insurrection against the Govern
ment of Brazil, and that an unconditional
surrender alone would be accepted.
Da Cana then modified his terms some
what. but the President firmly maintained
his original position and gave orders to his
artillery forces 10 have all things in readi-
ness to open fire upon the ships in accord
ance with the notice previously made puc-
lie, and then sent word to Da Cana that
he might take until o'clock this after
noon to consider the advisability of an un-
conditional surrender before the city
batteries began to lombard his vessels.
The insurgent vessels thereupon shifted
their anchorage so that they were shell
tered by merchant ships in the bay as
much as possible. When it became known
that Peixoto intended to open fire
upon the rebel ships from the city
batteries quite a large body Of res
