believe that the alleged author OF yester.

impression they get from a statement made
by a man in Rouen to the police of that
city that he is the real Rabardi. He de-
clares that his name was assumed at the
hotels in Paris by the author of the out

One Occasion Where the Fire of the

Some Purpose.

RIO DE JANEIRo, Feb. 21.-The rebel
cruiser Aquidanan left the bay at 4
o'clock this morning 10 juin the rebel war
ship Republica, having on board Admiral
Mello.
The Aouidaban got under way during
darkness, and at the speed of eight knots
steamed through the channel toward the
harbor entrance, as if no such things as
tcrpedoes and submarine mines were in
existence.
When nearing the forts at the entrance
of the bay the rebel ship was discovered
and the garrisons called to arms. A hot
fire was soon directed upon her, but the
AQuidaban steamed steadily ahead and
succeeded in passing the forts, although
she was struck several times. The forts
kept firing until she was out of range, but
il Is not believed any serious damage was
inflicted upon her.
When some distance off shore the
AQuidaban met the Republica and both
vessels steamed in southerly direction.
1t is reported that the rebel warships
have gone to search for the Nictheroy,
and that the latter is not very far off.
1t is understood that an American war
ship and one or more foreign vessels are
to follow the Aquidaban and Republica to
witness the engagement.
The Armacao batteries destroyed by the
rebels during the battle Of February have
been restored.
The rebel force is now said to have been
reduced to 5000 men, and a number of
these are more or less severely wounded.
1t is not believed possible for the rebels
10 undertake further operations on land
until the feet is strongly reinforced.

line with the policy advocated by Repub-
licans than was at first anticipated. 1t was
thought at first that perhaps the report

haps three reports would be presented.
This is true to a certain extent, but only
the Democrats feel compelled to submit a
minority report. 1t is possible. however,
that some individual opinions will be sub
