to-day received q cable message from Minister
Thompson. dated at Rio de Jsneiro. announc-
ing briefly that the insureent war ships
Aquldsbsn and Rspublica had passed out OF
the harbor this morning under fire OF the
Government forts. The reason for their de-
parture IL obvious.
When the dynamite cruiser Nictheroy ancb-
ored OF Rio q few days ago, the Aquidabnn
and the Repu blica got up steam In antlcipa-
tion OF an attack from the Government vessel.
But the Nictheroy. after rem naming over night
at her anchorage. merely steamed to the forth
fed post after which she 10 named. landed 300
men. and then steamed out again. According
to experts in naval warfare. there is only
one explanation OF the departure Of
the insurgent ships. and that is that
they intend to follow and attack the
Nictheroy before she can Join the America. the
Piratlpy. and the Government torpedo boats.
After this 10 done Il 10 believed that the insur-
gent ships will attack the other ships In the

After loading the boat they got IN sail and
