New YORK, Jan. 2--The Herald's
dispatch from Rio de Janeiro, January
I'd, says: Admiral De CANA published
yesterday manifesto intended to coun-
teract the effect of his celebrated declar-
alton OF month ago in favor Of
the monarchy. This declaration has
weakened the cause of the insurgents
greatly in the last three or four weeks,
and has alienated from Mello and Cana
several officers who, before its appear
ance, bad been their trusted friends and
allies. Among the people at large the
effects have been still more uniavorable
to the insurgents cause, consequently
in his manifesto yesterday Admiral
de Cana asserted that his former
declaration was not monarchist docu-
ment. This declaration, as we'll as
other papers attributed to him, had
been altered and printed in falsified
copies. He had not declared for the
monarchy. but had intended merely to
ask the people of Brazil what form of re-
publican government they wanted. This
manifesto has fallen fiat, the friends of
the republic regard it maneuver to
win support to the insurgents cause.
While not gaining for the insurrection
any new republican friends. the mani
festc has disgusted many former sup
porters, as the monarchists are thor
oughly disgusted with De Gama's back
down.
ENGLAND WILL NOT INTERFERE.
LONDON, Jan. 2.--In the commons to-
night Gladstone, replying to questions
as to whether there was any truth in
the stories from Rio that British ship
owners suffered from serious delay and
were exposed to considerable delay, ex-
pressed surprise that such question
should be put. He added that the earl
OF Rosebery, secretary of state for foreign
affairs had been in constant communities
tion With the British minister at Rio
and with the British naval commander
at that port, and it was assumed that
Great Britain had at any rate afforded
her shipowners the same protection as
France or any other country afforded
her shipowners. Gladstone said there
was a larger number of British warships
at Rio than any other nation possessed
at that point. The insurgents had not
been recognized as belligerents and the
British and other naval commanders gave
the best protection possible against the
attempt of either party to interfere with
legitimate commerce, out they should
| not protect commerce against all risks
when landing cargoes. In conclusion
| Gladstone said the government had no
intention of interfering and were not
advised that they had any right to ill.,
terfere in Brazilian matters.
