the sleigh started across Horses and
half the sleigh had cleared the track when
a train from Boston hove in sight around
the bend, 100 feet distant. Some of the
children saw 1t coming and Jumped for
their lives. Instructor Durfee was seated
In the rear end of the sleigh, holding
Clark Chase In his lap. He leaped out
clasping the boy In his arms, and escaped
On the right of the teacher and at the

EFFECT OF THE WARNING.
Statesmen at Washington Express Ad'
miration For the Brave Admiral.

Rio DE JANERIo. Feb 1.-The report
that Senior Moura. minister of war, had
resigned is not true. IL was his assistant,
Senior Galvao, who resigned.
The action of Admiral Benham has had
salutary effect. English and merchant
ships Of other nationalities are now COM
ing up to their wharves, without any sign
OF molestation on the part Of the insur-
gent vessels.
Admiral Benham's bold stand against
interference with vessels of his country is
generally applauded. The exchange of
shots between the insurgent and govern
ment forces has practically ceased during
the past "a hours. Yesterday was the first
time for four months that day has passed
when there was not more or less firing.
The unofficial warning which Admiral
Benham gave to Admiral da CANA that
firing upon the wharves' for the mere pur-
pose Of creating a blockade by terror must
cease has been needed.
Foreigners Are Delighted.
All the foreigners are delighted with
the result of the American admiral's con-
duct The commanders OF the foreign
fleets held conference yesterday TO dis
cuss the action Of Admiral Benham, and
resolutions were adopted fully endorsing
the course that he pursued.
Much regret Is expressed at the absence
from Rio Janeiro of American Consul
General Townes. Vice Consul Lewis Is
little more than . boy, and Americans
here hardly think him fitted to act as a
representative Of the United States at
such a critical juncture. They say that

4. Da Gama's Humiliation.
Admiral da CANA feels aggrieved at
Admiral Benham. He sent letter to the
American admiral, yesterday, protesting
against the ostentatious manner In which
the American commander had humiliated
him.
He says that he will yield for time to
superior force, but that as he was COM
pelled to allow American ships to como to
their wharves he has officially notified the
representatives of all other nations that
they may do the same He declares that the
insurgents have held the harbor for five

batteries fire upon him, he will be unable
to reply for fear Of hurting neutral ships
and will also be unable to protect his men.
Admiral da CANA also sent a letter to
the officers who had gathered in confer
ence to discuss Admiral Benham's action,
asking that he might be permitted to
bomb bard the city without notice. No
answer was sent to him, but Admiral
Renham said later IN The Associated
Press correspondent that he would grant
the insurgent admiral permission to bonn
bard the city, but he would require that
~ hours notice be given. so that nom
combatants would be able to seek shelter.

Joint resolution in congress congratulate

"Benham is hero, and his course in
firing the shot will be sustained by the
country and congress. 1t would do the
country good IL we had good many
Benhams, ready to act promptly in sus-
tanning American rights. Promptn ess is
the essential qualification of a great COM

judgment In striking while the iron was
hot. instead of cabling for instructions
and thus delaying until the offense to
American interests could not be repaired.
Benham is the first naval hero we have
had in years, and think the conRratula-
tions of congress are due him"
