$58, 100000. This is on the presumption
that gold will be used entirely in paying
for the bonds. 1t may be. however,
that legal tender and treasury notes
will be used indirectly to some extent
in payments, in which case the curren-
cy balance would be increased in pro-
portion. The gold reserve today is in
round numbers $65, 900, 900, and if the
bonds were paid for today in gold at
$56, 900, the total reserve would be

United Safes circuit court, before which

Rio DE JANEIRo, Feb. 1.-[Copy-
righted, 1894, by the Associated Press. ]
Following is the letter Admiral Da
CANA sent yesterday to the conference
OF naval commanders to discuss the
action of Admiral Benham in protecting
American vessels:
"At the beginning of the revolution
the city of Rio de Janeiro was defended
by six field pieces. and was at the mercy
OF the squadron in the harbor. The
chiefs of the foreign naval fleets in q
collective and unanimous note declared
they would oppose with force bonn
bardment unless provoked from land.
On learning this President Peixoto with
drew his field pieces and by strategy
began the work of re-fortifying the city
with numerous and heavy guns. The
work wac begun recently and completed
early. All the hills in the city are
marked BY Notifications, and the mon
asteries and factories converted into
fortresseE: trenches were dug in the
streets and other methods taken to make
the city secure. Along with these meas
ures it was reported it was the intention
OF the government soon to open fire
upon the squadron"
After making this statement, Da Cana
asks: "Are the conditions the same :?
Are not you to blame for the change
Should you no. force Peixoto to keep
his compact? The task OF the squadron
is more arduous. bloody and dangerous.
but we do not falter. Our compact will
be kept, but we reserve the right to re-
ply to the city batteries when they de-
serve it, without notice. The blame for
the result will be upon you."
Admiral Benham sent word to Da
Cana that he would not interfere with
the military operations. and told him he
would only object when he fred on
American ships for the purpose of fright
ening them from going to the wharves.
Benham says no compact exists between
the commanders of the foreign fleets.
They Withdrew from the agreement for
the protection of the city against bonn
bardment by the insurgents vessels
months ago.
The admiral says he has asked the
government at Washington whether he
shall insist upon notice being given by
the insurgents previous to any attempt
to bonn bard the city. He thinks as Rio
is fortified he will not be justified in
interfering with any more of this sort of
action on the part of Da Cana. 1t is
evident that the commanders of the
other fleets are also doubtful on this
point, as they have also asked instruc-
tions from their governments. Benham
has warned the commanders of Amer
lean ships in the harbor that bonn
bardment is possible. He has told them
what thav ehould do and indicated to
what extent he could protect them.

Ample Arrangements to RspeI an Inva-

PARIS, Feb. LIN the chamber today
a vote Of confidence was passed 1856 to
necessary reforms in the navy and pro-
vide for coast defense. The minister OF
war said all the details for the defense
of the coast in the event OF war bad been
arranged, and the naval and military
coast deieuses would. il war broke out,
be under a single commander. Sub
marine torpedoes would be largely util-
lied in the defense of the coast, and it
was expected they would be very SER
viceable. France could count upon
100000 men for coast defense, without
counting the reserves OF the marine
infantry.

MINISTER THoMPsoN's REPORT.
Gresham received dispatch from
Minister Thompson at Rio, giving the
details OF Admiral Benham's encounter
with the insurgents. After relating the
story as told in Benham's dispatch,
Thompson says:
Benhem has not intervened in the
least with the military or naval opera
tions OF either side, nor is it his inten-
tion to do 80. He has notified the in
surgents that it is his duty to protect
American commerce, and this he in
tends to do, and says American vessels
must not be interfered with in their
movement, but must take the conee-
quences of getting in the line of fire
where legitimate hostilities are actually
in progress. Until their belligerent
rights are recognized, the insurgents
have no right to exercise authority
over American vessels or property.
The right of the insurgents to search
neutral vessels or seize any portion of
their cargo is denied, even though they
are within the class defined as contra
band of war during hostilities between
independent governments. The forcible
seizure of such articles in the present
status of the insurgents would consti-
tute an act of piracy. Since the effective
action Monday, everything has been
quiet. The attempted blockade to COM
merce and trade is broken, and events
have moved smoothly. All the foreign
commanders concur, 30 far as | am
advised. (Sgned) THOMPSON.
BENHAM's COURSE APPROVED.
Secretary Herbert sent the following
to Admiral Benham at Rio:
Further information received from
United States minister. We are salts
fed entirely with the prudence and
judgment with which you carried out
instructions and protected American
commerce. Rely upon you for continued
exercise of wise discretion"
