A Former Lieutenant OF the Nictheroy
Tells About the Situation.

Bv The Ass0ciatcd Press.
SOUTHAMPTON, Jan. 13.-Only rs OF the
IS seamen who formerly belonged to the
dynamite Cruiser Nictheroy sailed today
OH board the steamship New
York for New York. Lieutenant John
j. Conway, in an interview today
said that many false rumors had been cir
culated by seamen i'm regard to the Mitch
eroy. There were still, he added, l1O
Americans on board the dynamite cruiser,
and In case OF an engagement they could
be relied on to fight we'll.
The Nictheroy, he stated is in fine con-
dition, Admiral De Mellos cause accord :
ing to Lieutenant Conway, is lost, and
President Peixoto IL bound to win.
The Nictheroy can fire one hundred
shots minute from OF Ittery alo re and
% per cent of these states can be reckoned
ON TO take. effect. The lieutenant said
that the reason he and the seamen
who accompanied him left the Nictheroy
was that the terms OF enlistment were not
satisfactory and that they had TO serve
under Brazilian officers, who are unfamil-
lar with the ways of Americans.
Commenting on the killing OF several
British officers and seamen by the acci-
dental blowing up of the powder maga-
zine near Rio DE Janeiro, Lieut.. Conway
said that the British officer in command
had been guilty of breach of neutrality
in allowing the Blue Jackets and officers
to land near the Magazine.
