through and along the balconies and were
bursting through the roof Several
heavy explosions took place between 40

BRITISH SHIPS AT RIO.
Gladstone Says They Have Been as
Well Guarded as Any others.

London, Jan. 2.-In reply to a question
asked in the House of Commons to-day
by Arthur F'orwood, who is a prominent
ship owner, MIR. Gladstone said that dur
ing the operations at Rio Janeiro, the
government had been in constant COM
munication with the British minister to
Brazil and the senior officer of the British
fleet at Rio. British ships had received
from the British representatives
the same protection that had
been accorded the ships of
other nations by the representatives of
the several powers. The Brazilian In
surgents were not recognized as belliger-
ents by Great Britain, and the govern
ment could not undertake to any way in
terfere with the quarrel in progress in
Brazil. Mr.. Gladstone concluded by de-
claring that he was surprised that such a
question as had been put by MIR. Forwood
should have been asked.
DE GAMA's NEW MANIFESTO.
Copyright 1894, by the United Press)
Rio de Janeiro, Jan 2--Admiral
de Cana, commander Of the insurgent
fleet in the harbor, published yesterday a
manifesto which was intended to counter
act the effect of his celebrated deelara-
tion OF month ago in favor of the mon
archy. His declaration has
weakened the cause of the
insurgents greatly In the last three
or four weeks, and has alienated from Ad-
mirals Mello and de Cana several officers,
who, before its appearance, had been
their trusted friends and allies. Among
the people at large it's effects have been
still more unfavorable to the insurgent
cause. Consequently, in his manifesto
yesterday, Admiral de Cana asserted
that his former declaration was not a
monarchist document. This declaration, as
well as other papers attributed to him, he
said in the manifesto of yesterday, had
been altered and printed in falsified
copies.
He had net declared for the monarchy Y,
but had intended merely to ask the people
of Brazil what form of republican govern
ment they wanted. Other interpretations
of his declaration had not been made In
good faith.
This last manifesto has fallen fiat. The
friends of the republic regard IL as a
passing maneuvre to win support to the
insurgents cause. While not gaining for
the insurrection any new republican
friends the manifesto has disgusted many
of it's former supporters, as the monar-
chists are thoroughly disgusted with
de Gama's backdown.
II is quiet and orderly here at present.
There is no shooting in progress.

THE LYoEUM EXPLOSIVES t
Santiago Salvador, an anarchist, who
was arrested to-day in Sarragosa, con-
tends that he was the sole author and ex-
ecutor of the plot TO blow up the Lyeeum
theater and kill most of the audience.
He says that he, alone, and unaided, in,
any way, made the bombs and threw
them, not from the gallery,
but from the pit He escaped In the
panic, he asserts, hid twenty days
In house near the principal cemetery in
Barcelona and then went to Teruel, Ara
gou, where he publicly told the story of
his deed. Everybod regarded him as in
sane, he says, and did not heed his words.
After repeated examinations by the
police, Salvador reiterates this story as
he first told it.

BANK OF ENGLAND SCANDALS
A Crisis Predicted Unless There Is a
Change in Its MethodH.

London, Jan. 2.-The Investors Review
publishes an alarmist article on the Bank
of England, in which it makes some
what severe attack on the governor and
court Of the bank. It predicts that un-
less a change is make in the banks meth
ods Of business a financial crisis will be
brought about, compared with which,
the recent Barring failure will be as of
small Importance.
The article attacks the bank
with reference to its discount
business. 1t says that after years OF OBJ
servation the conclusion has been reached
that the bank does not abide by the rate
of discount fixed by the court, and there
by sustains, at times, some bad losses.
In support of this contention the paper
points out the manner in which the bank
was entangled in the Murrietta failure.
The article more than hints that the
secret facts in connection with the man
agement of the bank are worse than any
yet made public.

Necessity With the Corporation.
Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 2.-The Atlanta Com
solidated Street Railway Company, own
ing nearly all the valuable franchises OF
the city, is in a financial strait that will
more than probably push the property to
the wall. A default on the January In
terest on 81, 1888, 600 of bonds has been de-
clared, and the bondholders and stock
holders testified that the acceptance Of
plan of reorganization is the
only hope Of saving the company from a
receivership. The bonds are held mostly
by eastern parties, for whom the Old
Colony Trust Company Of Boston is trus-
tee. They bear 8 per cent. interest.

Is proposed TO give the bondholders 3per
cent. for 1894 and 1895. and then per
cent. Eighty per cent. Of the bondholders
have agreed to the plan, but
30 per cent. is required to make it ef-
fective. President Hurt believes that the
other 10 per cent. will be secured. The
Consolidated is now running at loss of
500 per day. and has been doing a loosing
business for months past, owing to the
general stagnation Of business, which has
shut off revenue because Of the suspension

Sam Wah. an aged Chinese laundry
man, of 10 Henry street, is nursing a
cracked head to-day as the result of a
murderous assault upon him by robbers.
Wah and his nephew, Sam Wah, jr.,
were ironing shirts in the laundry at
clock yesterday afternoon when a boy
about sixteen years old, but very tall,
and two other young men entered the
place, one of them being a negro.
Without any ceremony. the boy went
to the money-drawer and began filling
his pockets with the pennies that were
In the top compartment. Sam Wah
grasped his iron tighter and demanded
that the boy return the money and get
out For answer the boy seized a stool
and struck Wah a terrible blow on the
head, which felled him to the floor.
When he attempted to get up. he was
struck In almost the same spot by an
iron bar welded by the negro.

TO WATCH GARBAGE BUMPERS
Government Official Suggests Es'
tablishing Flag Boats
They Would See that the Law Was
Not Violated.

a leading United States Government
official in the Federal Building to-day
had something 10 say about the way In
which Street Commissioner Andrews's
scows do their work. The Official is a
frequent passenger on The Coney Island
steamboats,, and says he has good OPP
portunities to observe how garbage
dumping Is conducted He said:
at will only be little while before
those garbage scows completely fill up
the Coney Island channel, of Norton's
Point. That waterway seems to be
their objective point The only thing
that delays the entire blockading of the
channel is that just as soon az the scows
clear the river they open their dumping
doors and let the garbage dribble out.
THE inspection boat Is not sufficiently
watchful OF the scows and hurries back
to town at sunset, so that at dark the
scows have 1t all their own way, much
to the profit Of the contractors. quite
scows get ashore near Norton's Point,
and the entire load was quietly dumped
right there without any effort to float
the scows again and dump their loads
at the proper point.
"The scow and tug crews seem to con-
slider that the bell buoys at Norton 5
Point and Rockaway Beach were To-
ca leu tneTt LOT tltlT ptIEOHhl DtIeHt.
These two buoys are spar buoys and
the sCow men have carried away nearly
all the spars. of both buoys, making them
practically useless. The Norton's Point
buoy has been so pulled to pieces that
IL liz inaudible twenty feet away.
1T seems to me that there Is n remedy
for this negligence. All the dumping Of
garbage by the scow IL ordered to be
done off the llghtships Now, why should
not steam flag-boat be stationed there
to which all the scows should report? BY
line mark the station boat could easily
find out If any of the load had been
dribbled out after leaving the loading
docks.
The station-boat should give clearances
only to such scows as brought their full
loads out to the light ships, and these
clearances could be used as checks and
vouchers to show that the work was
prODerly DONE
