QUARANTINE, n. Y, Feb. lO-The
steamer Hilary, Captain Pinal, just In
this morning from Pernambuco, reports
all quiet at that port and no fighting In
progress.
The Hilary was fourteen days in Per-
nambuco harbor, and those on board
had an opportunity to observe the pre-
parations made by the government heet
of cruisers and torpedo boats to encounter
Mellos war ships.
The American crew OF both Nictheroy
and America had all been discharged
and their places were being filled by
Br9zilans. Captain Baker, OF the Nicthe-
roy. who was supposed to be friendly
TO Mello on account of his long standing
acquaintance with the rebel admiral had
been ordered TO transfer the command
OF his ship to a Brizilian naval officer.
Mr.. Baker however, objected ana eNhi-
bited his certificate issued by Nendonca,
Brazilian minister at washington, ap-
pointing him to the command OF lle
Nictheroy. The name of the America,
formerly called Britannia, has been again
changed and she is now known as the
Andradi.
A Little Fleet ON for Bahia.
The Hilary left Pernambuco on January
24th. On the 22d, two days before her
departure, the Nictheroy left Pernam-
buco. having in tow the old harbor guard
ship Paranhyba, and three new torpedo
boats which had arrived from Hamburg.
The submarine boat Destroyer ac-
compauied the little fleet. Their destina-
ticn was understood TO be Bahia. Few
Hilary supplied her with 400 tons OF coal
which was her cargo. This was put on

Nictheroy is said to be veritable coal
eater. and although she certainly deNei-
