BUENos AYREs, Jan. 31.-Dispatches
from Rio say that the insurgents are
preparing for vigorous attack on San
tos and San Paulo. The news of the
firing between the United States war
ships and the insurgent vessels seems
to have been greatly exaggerated. The
dispatches here say that only signal
shots were exchanged and none were
fired in real earnest. The insurgents
feel greatly discouraged at Admiral De
Gama's practical surrender to the
United States admiral. 1t is reported
the young officers favor having him
replaced by a more energetic com
mander.
FIRST TO OPEN FIRE.
LONDON, jar. 31.-The British ad-
miralty Office this morning received
dispatch from the British admiral at
Rio, confirming the Associated Press
interview with Admiral Benham except
that the British admiral said the Amer
leans were the first to open fire.
THE AMERICANS AT RIO.
RIO JANEIRO. Jan. 30.-The American
ship Amy was escorted into the harbor
Monday morning by the United States
cruiser Detroit. AS a precaution
against any possible aggressive action
on the part of the ioshrgent cruisers.
the New York, Charleston and Newark
were assigned to watch the actions of
DE Gama's ship Aquideban. while the
Detroit and San Francisco were signal
ed to take a position near the Trajano
ard Guanab, sra. This precaution
certainly proved effective and the insur-
gents in the face of the formidable array
OF American vessels made but feeble
ate mpt to hinder the Amy's progress
to the wharf. No guns were opened
upon her by De Gama's vessels and as
matter of course the American vessels
did not fire upon the insurgent ships.
The msurgent protest consisted OF
this: AS the Amy was abreast of the
Gunnabara, a marine on the last named
vessel aiused a muskes at her and fired
two shots. The Amy's escort, the
Detroit, fired in return. This was AL
the firing done during the Amy's trip
and it was enough. All opposition
ceased at once. and the uss of heavy
guns was not considered necessary at
any time.
At a later hour De Cana conferred
with his officers upon the ACCESSIBILITY of
surrendering to the Detroit in conse-
quence OF the musket shots fired. He |
was dissuaded from doing so, but it is !
though possible that be may yet de |
eide TO surrender to the American COM
Eauder. No doubt De CANA is in |
bad way. The proposed compromise |
has been refused by Peixoto's govern
ment and it seems TO be only a matter |
of time when he will have to give up
the struggle. The complications of the |
insurgent situation are inGreas : by the |
absence of Mello. The failure of the |
latter admiral to arrive here to the as
sistance of the insurgent fleet has given
rise to the report that he is dead.
TELEGRAM TO RoTHsCHmD.
LONDON, Jan. 30-Baron Rothschild |
said to al Associated Press representa-
tive this evening that his cubic an
nouncing the surrender of Admiral De
Cana came from the most reliable
source. He had no reason to doubt its
accuracy.
The Brazilian minister said be had no
doubt the news was true; that the final
collapse of ths revolt was only a ques-
ton of few days.
The highest Official at the British
foreign Office expressed the opinion that
De Gsma's surrender to the United
States admiral was the easist way out
of the difficulty. The chief question
was, what would Admiral Benham do
with him. He could not very we'll sur
render him to Peixoto to be shot and
could not very we'll feed De GagamG's
followers indefinitely.
