TO PROTECT AMERICAN VESSELS.

RIO DE JANEtRo, Jan. 3O.-This has been
one Of the most exciting days that Rio de
| JaneirO has experienced since the COM
mencement Of hostilities between the in
surgents and the Brazilian government.
| The United States naval fleet stationed in
| this harbor has furnished the excitement.
| Provoked beyond the endurance OF
| patience by the continued carelessness of
the gunners aboard tie rebel warship
! Aquidaban, and tried by the indifference
shown ON the part of the revolutionary
| admiral to all his protests that American
vessels entering and leaving the harbor
were not afforded proper protection by the
| rebel fleet, Admiral Benham yesterday
| made demon t alton with the American
war vessels under his command which
/ has taught a much needed lesson to the
| b ligerents on both sides, and which will
u do b. edly have the effect, hereafter, of
securing 3 proper recognition of the rights
| of all vessels carrying the American flag
The cause of the trouble was the treat
m ut to- which three American Barks
were subject to on last Saturday by the
! luuiscrimate fusillade from the iusurgent
warship The American vessels were the
| bark Amy, the bark Good News and the
ark Julia Rollins. The Amy sailed from
Baltimore on Dec. 8. and arrived here last
! Friday. The Good News arrived in Rio
harbor Jan 3, from Bahia. The Julia
Rollins arrived here on Jan. 23 from
Baltimore which port she left on Dec T.
On Saturday last, while lying at an
ChOr, all three vessels were endangered by
the chance shots fired by the insurgents
These whistled through the rigging and
pm st the men mt work on the decks. Many
of the crews of the three vessels mar
rowly escaped being shot. After suffer
ing a great deal of annoyance and run
ming great risks in the hope that the in
surgents would realize the folly of their
| action and put "A stop TO their reckless fir
ing, the three captains held hurried
conference and determined to appeal TO
| TO the United States warships, and to
request that the barks be given an es-
cort to the wharves.
Upon being appealed to by the captains
of the barks Admiral Benham sent one of
his officers TO the Aquidaban with orders
o Iacquaint Admiral da CANA with the
facts i'm the case and to ask him 80 have
an end put TO the reckless cunning. Da
| CANA was apparently in very bad humor
when the American officer arrived on
/ board the Aquidaban, and with many
