VENUS SPLIT IN TWO.
Authentic Report of the Loss Of the
Brazilian Transport.


copyrighted, 1884, by the Associated Press.)
RIO DE JANEIRO. Feb. e.. via Monte
video. March 4.-The reports of the loss of
the rebel transport Venus have been con-
f1rmed. but the details Of the loss of the
vessel are as yet meagre. On Friday morn
ing the armed rebel transports Jupiter.
Marie and Venus, which were lying off
Porto Madame, took up position off Porto
Madama and opened bombardment
against the government batteries. The
guns I'm the batteries responded quickly
and quite lively fire was exchanged. Sud
denly there was a terrific roar heard above
the booming of the guns, and 1t was at
once conjectured that an explosion had oc-
CURED. At first II was thought that disas-
ter had befallen the transport Marie. I'm
mediately the sound OF the explosion was
heard the men In the batteries and else
where along the shore saw a huge column
OF reddish brown smoke ascending and
spreading out to wide dimensions as 1t
arose. II was seen as the smoke cleared
away that the explosion had occurred on
the Venus. That vessel had been torn In
half, and almost Immediately afterwards
the stern half of the wreck went to the
bottom. The bow half was on fire and
In few minutes the flames were raging
for a half hour and then went down. The
Venus was commanded by Captain Vas
concellos. He, with three. officers ana TWEEN
ty-nine men. made up the complement Of
the vessel. Every soul on board of her
was lost. Some OF the crew could be seen
for time on the forward part OF the yes
sci as IL drifted helplessly. burning, and eff
forts were made to rescue them, but the
boats that were dispatch cd on this work
were slow in reaching the scene of the
disaster, and by the time they arrived the
men on the wreck were forced by the fire
into the water Apparently they could not
swim. and before the boats could reach
them they sank.
Many theories are current as TO the causa
OF the disaster. The most probable of
these Is that shot from the shore bat
teries struck the Venus amidships. and
plowed its way through the hull and boil
ers. 1t Is pretty certain that the mag
aZine did not explode for the smoke, as
stated above, was of reddish brown color
whereas the smoke of powder is grey. At
any rate. whatever the cause of the ex-
plosion, the force must have been terrific
as the vessel was blown into halves as
though made of cardboard.
II has been reported that the insurgents
on the islands OF Wanna, Engenho and
Pontal had revOlted against their leaders

Banner Presentation-A Very Interesting
 Occasion Yesterday Afternoon.
 Last spring, on the occasion of the celebration of Memorial day. Major W. T. Skinner. who had charge of the ex- ercises, invited the teachers and pupils of the public schools to participate.
 They responded heartily by turning out in large numbers and furnishing a bountiful supply of flowers.
 The major, who is great lover Of young people, was so pleased with the manner in which the pupils showed their respect for the veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic determined to do something by which the pupils might realize his appreciation of their enthusiastic response to his invitation.
 A few days ago Principal A. M. Drum mond notified the pupils that on Thurs day afternoon a few friends would call on them and make them g. Christ mas present, but did not intimate the nature of the present nor the name of the donor.
 Accordingly, yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock the pupils of rooms 10 and g were assembled for the anticipated pre- sentation. With Master Herbert A. Mansfield at the piano, the exercises were opened with "My Country" which was sung in a spirited mannaer by the pupils. Principal Drummond intro duced Rev. R. H. Gessner, rector of the Episcopal church, who delivered a stir ring patriotic address. MT. D. A. Kim berly, one of the school visitors, then revealed the secret by bringing to view Ia beautiful banner and in a few re- marks introduced the donor, Major Skinner.
 The major then addressed the pupils, presenting the banner, and in a very pleasing way reminding them of their opportunities, after which Principal Drummond, in behalf of the pupils, received the generous gift of Major Skinner.
 The exercises closed with a song with a very appropriate title.r Our Banner Bright" The banner Is a large and handsome one, of blue cloth, ,tastefully trimmed, decorated in gold, and mount ed on a pole. In the center is a design, consisting of several books. around which Is the legend, Knowledge is Power" At the top are the words, Union School" and at the bottom, West Haven, Conn.,"
 This act of attention and considera- tion on the part of Major Skinner has touched the sensTbilities of the pupils of the public schools, and he will have the satisfaction of knowing that his circle of. friends has increased in circumfer- ence.
