BENHAM lNSULTED.
Peixoto's Minister Of Justice Very
CoolIy Snubbed Him.

J N. 29.-Early on the morning OF the z4th
inst, etrorg force of iusurgt nts landed
on Kom Jesus island. under cover OF thell
launches, and captured the earthworks held
by the 6 ,vernment troops. Ole field gun
and quantity of ammunition fell into theii
hands. Enough prisoners to load one OF
the launches were made BY the Insurgents.
1t i Re ported that 25 were killed and "a
wounded. Two merchant launches were
carried off.
There is no basis for the reports that AID.
miral Benham, commanding the American
.quaJron here, is acting in an official ca
pacity 10 attempting to bring about settle
ment of the trouble by arbitration. He is
seeking to brlng the troubles to an end act
ing as q private ei izen. Admiral Benham's
comment on the ne ,tiations is that Adj
mral da Cana asks too much and Peixoto
+ i'll concede too little.
There is sn average of II cases of yellow
fever daily in Rio Jansi!o. A fair amount
Of business i, being done. The rate OF ex-
change il the lowest ever known.
The minister of justice, representing
Peixoio, engaged to meet Admiral Benham
ffieially at noon yesterday, at the Ameri-
can consulate. The admiral was at the
consulate at the appointed time, bus the
minister of justice did not appear. After
waiting an hour tie admiral left. An hour
later an orderly from the ministry went 10
the consulate and said the minister of jus.
tice was engaged elsewhere, but dill not
tender an apology fer his absence.
The officers and men of the American
feet are fairly wild over the discourteou'
treatment accorded Admiral b. nham by the
minister. Mr.. Thompson, the American
minister, hopes to make his first call on
Peixoto today. Hitherto he has been
snubbed daily aud found it useless to at
tempt to meet Peixoto.

SOON TO HEAR PLAT.
The Subcommittee Begins Its
Investigations.
Up the State Cases to Be First
Disposed OF.
Report Not to BE Submitted for a
Week or So.

The Subcommittee Of the Republican
State Committee, consisting Of James
W. Wadsworth, Benjamin B. Odell.
George w. Dunn. John a. Quacken-
bush and W l.. Proctor, appointed TO
examine the claims of the two New
York factions, the Milholand-Platt sec
ton and the Committee of Thirty divi-
sion. met in the Fifth Avenue Hotel a.
10 o'clock this morning. The meeting
was private.
Incidental to the New York investiga-
ton the Committee will also settle the
claims OF rival Syracuse factions, headed
by ex-Collector Francis Hendricks and
eX-Congressmar James j. Bclden Frank
H. Hiscock nephew of ex-senator His
cock; ex-Collector Hendricks and James
S. Kenyon are delegates TO represent the

After the Syracuse differences are
adjusted. the Committee will take up
the Albany dsagreements and in the
afternoon the feature OF the day, the
New York fight, will be ,considered.
The big political leaders did not pay
much attention TO the morning pro
gramme and but few of them were
around the hotel corridors before noon.
The New York quarrel Is quite pretty
one. The Committee of Thirty claims an
enrolment of 5000 and primary vote
of 5000. They say Mlholland's organl-
cation is a fake and out of sawdust
enrolment of 1900 not over 5000 are legal
voters
The Milholland- Plattites say they will
prove that not only was the Committee
OF Thirty's enrolment fraudulent. but
that a decker has already been arranged
by them with Tammany.
