Peixoto is essentially a soldier by taste and
education. The post Of General-in-Chef Of the
Army would be much more congenlal 10 nm
than that Of President De Moraes is unobJec-
tonable TO Da Cana and Mello, who would un-
doubtedly be willing to negotiate some honorable
terms Of surrender to him on his accession TO
the Chief Magistracy thus bringing the Whole
trouble to an end. The premature rumors clrcu-
lated to the effect that PeiXoto had resigned
have undoubtedly had their origin In the negOti-
ations which have led up to the adoption OF thls
programme. Prominent officials Of the United
States Navy Department some time ago init
mated that they were in receipt Of information
from the United States naval commander In
would open a way for the termination Of ex-
listing troubles The vigor Of Admiral Benhams
recent course may, perhaps. be attributable IN
part to a desire 10 hold matters in check until
March l. while in the mean time protecting
American commerce.
There is still another piece Of interesting and
hitherto unpublished history which has been
brought to the knowledge of State Department
officials Not long ago determined effort was
instituted by the British for the recognition
of the belligerency of Da Cana, and II was IN
contemplation TO accompany this action by the
presence Of a powerful British fleet This move
ment being brought by the PeiXoto Govern
ment to the attention of the representatives, OF
France and Germany those Nations promptly
took occasion informally TO intimate that any
STRENGTHENING OF the British fleet in RIO HarDor
would be promptly followed by such accession
10 their own naval forces as would sun leave
Great Britain in minority on show or naval
strength Upon these representations the pro-
iect of recognizing Da Cana was dropped by
