RIO UNDER A STRAIN.
How the Capital Is Kept in
Great Excitement.
Nobody Seems to Know Where the
Rival WarshipS Are at the
Present Time.

New YORK, Jan. S.-The Herald's
Montevideo special says: The Herald's
correspondent at Rio sends word that
general feeling among residents is
one of resignation coupled with the
wish that something decisive may happen
soon. even if it be the worst that could
possibly result from an attack on the rebel
ships by the Governments new cruisers
and torpedo-bOa
There are daily rnmors in the capital of
the arrival of Peixoto's fleet outside The
bay. but still it does not appear, while every
night Mello's ships. which are reported as
lowering about the entrance TO the bay.
are rumored to have landed a body of
rebel soldiers from Rio Grands do Sui.
These are phantoms, but they serve to
keep up the excitement in Rio.
1t is evident that the rebels are hourly
expecting some active movement on the
part OF The Government Fort Ville-
gaignon now barely responds to the fire
from the loyal guns, and appears
to be reserving her ammunition.
while the rebel ships crews are busy coal
ing and building up barriers of cotton and
hay on Cobras Island. Peixoto's men,
meanwhile. are equally busy planting addi-
tiOnal heavy guns and also machine rapid
fire guns upon the hills facing the bay.
They are receiving war supplies from
Europe by way of the railroad from San
tos.
Three navy lieuteDauts deserted Ad-
miral de Gama's ships on December 25.
owing to the mOnarchical tone OF his
manifesto. They dee AIRED they would not
serve under monarchist leader.
The Government wired to the Brazilian
Minister in MonteVideo on December q
asking if the Rio Grande or Itapia was in
condition to join with the Tiradanes and
Bahia in an expedition to lombard Des-
terro. the capital of Mello's Provisional
Government.
The firing in Rio harbor on thatday was
desultory, but late in the evening, under
cover Of the guns Of the Tamandares, men
in launches attacked the Armacito bat
terry.
The land forces there replying struck
the Tamaudares' rigging and the foremost

wounding several of her crew.
On the same night An attempt was made
to capture Mocangue Island. where a coal
depot is located. Hostilities during the
last week have become pretty fat

batteries fire occasionally. with shot or
shell upon Cobras Island, where the rebel

Many now think Peixoto's chances are
lessening. His apology and firing a sa-
lutte of twenty guns in honor of the Ger
man flag the other day have raised some
feeling here.

READY WITH HIS GUN.
Champion Jim Routes a Burglar
From His Quarters,

JACKSONVILLE, Jan. S.-About mid
light last night some unknown person
attempted to enter Corbetts room at May
port The champion was aroused from
slumber by a noise at the window. and
springing from bed. found some person
had broken open the blinds and was at
tempting to raise the window-sash.
Corbeit seized pistol and rushed to the
door, when he saw a person in the act of
leaving the house. about ten yards from
him. C0rbett fired several times. but does
not think any of the shots took effect. The
sound of the shooting alarmed the house
hold and so on Mrs. Corbett. Miss Howard
and others gathered about the champion.
There was no more sleep at the training
quarters that night, for it was believed
the person trying to enter Corbet's room
was trying to do him some injury to pre-
vent his being ready to meet Mitchell.
Hereafter Corbetps trainers will take turns
in watching the champion while he sleeps.

DEFY THE AUTHORITIES.
May Bring Down the Wrath of
the Governor.
WILL HAVE THE MILL ANYWAY.
Whatever the Outcome 1t Is Clear
That the Club People Have
Nerve.

JACKSONVILLE, Jan. S. - TIE long
looked-tor statement of the Duval Club
was issued tonight as follows:
"Attorney-General Lamar. speaking for
himself and also for the Governor, having
declared in a letter to the Inter Ocean of
Chicago that the Corbett-Mitcbell contest
will not take place in Florida, il is proper
that we inform the public that neither the
Attorney General nor the Governor pos
sesses any judicial power, and TO add that
the State officers, acting under the direc-
ton of the executive, have refused TO
allow any judicial determination by the
law which it is claimed the contest will
violate, and 10 that end have caused a
prosecution, originated for the purpose OF
testing the law, to be dismissed, and
further that the executive of the State.
possessing The conventional prerogative OF
asking the opinion of the highest judicial
tribunal of the State as 10 a construction
of the statute, has declined to do so.
"The public is hereby assured that the
contest will take place as advertised. No
plans have been formed or steps taken and
none will be taken by either the Governor
or the Acknowledgement to stop the con-
test and tickets can be bought with
confidence that the contest will lake place
under the conditions named.
HENRY MASON, President Duval Club"
Members of the club say they wish it
plainly understood that preparations for
the battle will go on as though nothing had
happened and no attention Will be paid to
threats from the Governor or any State Of
fcer.
II the matter is brought up in the courts
they say they will be obliged 10 have the
question solved once for all, and they do
not fear the result Friends of the club
say the Duval people are showing great
nerve, while their opponents claim that
hey will bring down the wrath of the
Governor in short order. The result is
awaited with no little interest.

One Witness Nearly Tainted Under
CrosS-Examination.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Sit is said that
several Democratic Sen ators have been in

been Informed what the memb ers who are
fighting the bill ask for. and have advised
that whether the income tax is to be made
part of the measure or not ought to be
made known to them. Quite a contrast is
presented by the fact that Eastern Demo-

VanderbiIt's Friends Say He VIII
Come Out o. IA

New York. Aug. 30.-There was some
change today in the talk about the
trouble in the William K. Vanderbilt
family. Mr.. Vanderbilts friends have
refrained from saying much so far. bur
they dld not hesitate to say today that
when the truth is known he will be
amply indicated.
so far as can be learned from state
ments made to persons in the conf
dence of the Vanderbilt family. their
sYmpathies are all with the husband.
They hope the matter will be settled
out OF court. 1t is not a question of
money. Mr. Vanderbilt is willing, it
is said, to give his wife all the money
she wants. but he insists in retaining
charge of the children.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, as the eldest
son Of the late William H, is assumed
to be the head of the family. His
mother inclines to his judgment in al
most everything affecting the Wander
Dit properties. He watches, with al
most paternal care, the wanderings of
William K. Ever since the voyage of
the Valiant was brought to such an alb
rupt termination he has been worried.
The first touch of domestic trouble
in the Vanderbilt family was about to
become public property and he seemed
powerless to prevent it. Before Cor
menus NdHueID lll went TO Cnlcago on
Monday, he talked with several friends
in this city. He appeared to be very
much worried. Some of his associates
advised him not to go, but to allow
Mr.. Webb. his brother-in-law, to rep
resent the Vanderbilt interests at the
Newell funeral
There was good deal of telegraph
ing between the Grand Central station
and Bar Harbor. Mrs. William H. and
her son George are spending the sum-
mer there. Finally it was decided that
Cornelius should go to Chicago and
William K. should be asked to come
home at he earliest opportunity to
straighten things out.
When the story Of separation and
probable divorce was made public Cor
nelius and Mr.. Webb ordered a ssecial
train to bring them back to this city,
1t arrived at the Grand Central station
at4:S0 this afternoon. They were both
taken off in the yards" Mr.. Webb
took another special train, which left
Immediately for his place in the coun-
try. His family had been telegraphed
for and were waiting for him on the
train.
Mr.. Vanderbilt went to a drug store
and telegraphcd to Thomas L. James
at the Lincoln National bank. Mr.
James is one of the confidential friends
of the Vanderbilts.
1t is asserted by friends of William
K. that he was in no way responsible
for the interruption in the voyage OF
the Valiant. but that circumstances
made it necessary for him to either
leave the vessel or leave some of his
friends and was advised to discontinue
the voyage. Since that time Mr. and
Mrs. Vanderbilt have lived apart

A NOVEL POINT DECIDED.
An Applicant For Naturalization,
Who Was Just a TriHe too Tech

New York, Aug. 30.-Chief Judge DAILY
has decided a novel point. Marcus
Braun, an applicant for naturalization
papers, asked that certain Objectionable
words be stricken from the papers.
Braun is a Hungarian. On July Is last
his declaration of intention to become
an American citizen was rejected by
the naturalization bureau because
Braun refused to forswear allegiance
ITO the emperor of Austria. He said he
was not a subject Of the Austrian
emperor, but was a subject of the king
of Hungary. Braun was an officer in
the Hungarian army, and when told
that he was considered an Austrian, he
was wild with rage. He employed
Lawyer Abraham Levy to institute pro-
ceedings to compel the naturalization
bureau to issue his papers. Levy made
motion before Judge DAILY asking that
the emperor of Austria" be stricken
from the papers. He claimed that the
autonomy of Austria is distinct and
separate from that of Hungary and
that the king of Hungary was free to
act over his domain.
Judge Daily said he saw no reason
for granting the motion, but he would
insert in the papers the words land
particularly forswear allegiance to the
king of Hungary, whose subject l am. -
81 do not think this or any other
court in the United States should be
called upon to pass upon the complica-
tons of foreign powers" said Judge
DAILY in denying the motion.
Braun would not sign the paper after
the change suggested by Judge Daily,
and left the courtroom, declaring he
would lay the matter before the Aus
TRAN parliament
