Not Mixed Up With Fugitive Reb-

WASHINGTON, March 23-lf there has
been any joint action of the representa-
tiveS of the foreign powers at Rio to.
wards securing clemency from Peixoto
for the fugitive rebels now in the Por-
tuguese men-of-war. the United States

Our government throughout the Brazil
ian troubles has preserved the attitude
of on-interference, and it can be stated
that there will be no departure from that
position now that the rebellion at Rio is
at an end; and it is quite inconceivable
that Minister Thompson should officially
break the rule without specific in
structions from Washington, which
he has not had. Minister Men.
