AMERICANS PAID OFF.

 GOvernnent May Demand the Sur
 render of da Cana.
 RIO DE JANKIRo, March 15.-The Ameri- cans who helped man the government war ships were paid off today. They will leave the city on the first ship sailing from this port for New York. F. A. Brinlsy, who commanded the crew of the dynamite gun aboard the Niotheroy, was disra.ed at Ba. hia because he kept the gun out of order. The government officer suspected him ot being a traitor and purposely rendering the gun useless.
 The French wsrship Nagon, on which
 Admiral ds Gsma sought refuge just prior
 to the surrender of the insurgent fleet, bruised of the coast for short time and
 then returned to port. She transferred
 da Gama and eight other insursent officers
 to the Portuguese warship and then put out again. Several hours lstsr e French mail steamer was stopped as she was leav. ing port. probably because the federal au thorities suspected that she carried the in. sargent admiral. The captain proved tc the satisfaction of the Brszllisns, how ever, that none of the insurgents were aboard her.
 President Psixoto and his cabinet are considering whether or not they will de mand from the Portuguese the surrender of ds Gsms. It fs known that the in | surgent admiral was more anxious to gel l an asylum under the British flag, which which has bean more or less at his service l since hostilities began. He applied fol passage aboard Q steamer of the Royal Mail Steam Packet company, whose vesseli ply between South American ports and Southampton, but the captain declined tt ! carry him.
 The Nictheroy's dynamite gun is to b, mounted at Fort Santa Orus. The United | States warships will sail on Saturday.

STRIKERS BECOME VIOLENT.

 City Tied UP UntiI Night-Road In. spesfeF Cosgrove Struck by a stons
 and May Die.
 NEW YoRK, March 15.-The motornsp
 and conductors employed by the trolley
 lInss in Long Island City went on strike early this morning, the S.einway, Yer non avenue and Blue lines being tied up. Thousands of persons who do business in this city live In Steinwsy, Rsssnswood, Dutch Mills, German Settlement and Bow cry Bay.
 The strike was the result of long and bitter conflict between the employees and Superintendent MouIton of the Steinwsy Traction company. Ar. Moulton hIed up set of rules, which be insisted must be obsyed and . schedule which the men claim gives them 90 cents dsy Instead of the $l.50 formerly paid them.
 In order to make it impossible to run horse-csrs to-day in place of the troIleys the electric wires were cut and grounded and piles of stone and other obstructions were placed on the tracks. The strikers deny that they took part In this. saying it was done by their sympathiEsrs. The strikers became very noisy and threatening near the stables in Steinvsy and shortly bsfore daylight one of them hurled large stone into the room of Road Inspector Cosgroye. The mlssile struck MT. Coe- grove on the head. He was asleep at the time and is believed to be fatally wounded.
 Motorman Courtney and Conductors Richardson and Ramsey, who refused to join the strike, were severely beaten by striking motormen. The strikers had sev- eral conflicts with the police, but no ar rests were made. The men assumed such c threatening attitude that MT. Moulton asked Sheriff Norton for assistance. Ar rangements were msde by the sheriff to send 100 deputies to SteinwAy in case of further trouble.
 The strike was called of tonight and the men resumed work, 1t having been agreed to submit ths difficulty to Mayor Sanford for arbitration. Distractions were cleared of the tracks, the wires were repaired and the cars were set running.
