Da CANA Offers to Surrender il Guaran-

WASHINGTON, March 13.-Advices at
the state department late yesterday
afternoon from Minister Thompson at
Rio de Janeiro indicate the Brazilian
rebellion is about ended. The dis
patches contain the information that
Adm. Da- Cana has gone aboard the
Portuguese war vessel Mindelo. now in
the harbor at Rio, and has sent to
President PeiXoto by the Por tu-
guese officer an offer of surrender
on condition of protection for
himself and followers Secretary Gres-
ham believes this marks the end of the
war; There is considerable surprise
expressed here by those interested in
the affairs at Rio that the offer of sur
render should have been made through
the Portuguese commander, who up to
this time, had not shown any parti-
cular disposition to take hand in the
conflict
1t is not thought, however, that the
act of the Portuguese in receiving Da
CANA is necessarily an act of sympathy
with the insurgents The Portuguese

news of the surrender, b 1T was unwill-
ing to give out any information con-
cerning the exact terms of da Gama's
offer of surrender or discuss the proba-
BILE action of the Brazilian government.
He said, however, he had no doubt that
final settlement bad been made by the
time he was speaking. or would GER

late hour last night by Secretary
Gresham from Minister Thompson.
containing the information that Da
Cana asks only that he and his officers
be allowed to leave the country and the
lives of his private soldiers and sailors
be spared. 1t is regarded by promi-
nent officials as without question that
the Brazilian government will accept
the surrender with the terms asked for
by Da CANA
