GUNS READk


Da CANA Says lie Will Proceed
When He Is Ready, and Lays
the B,ame of the Resuit With
the Naval Commanders OF the
Various i'enham Asks
Further Instructions.
Copyrighted. 1894, by the Associa ted Press.
RIO DE JANEIEo, Feb. 1.-The fol-
lowing is the letter which Admiral da
CANA sent yesterday to the conference
of the naval commanders of the varions
nations represented here to discuss the
action of Admiral Benham in protect
ing American vessels which wished to 90
to their whaIves without interference
on the part Of the Insurgents:
AT the beginning OF the revolution
the city of Rio de Janeiro was defended
By six field pieces. and was ut the
mercy of the squadron i'll the harbor.
The chiefs OF the foreign naval fleets
in a collective and unanimous note de-
clared that they would oppose
with force bombardment. un-
less it was provoked from the
Aollo. OAI INSAl4iIllz pk liliSt
PeiXOto withdrew his field pieces, and
by stratagem began the work OF refort
flying the city with numerous and heavy
guns. The work was begun secretly.
ANA was completed openly. All the
Mills i'll the city were marked by fortifi-
cations, and the mOnaSterieS and fact
cries were converted into fortreSSss.
Trenches were dug in the streets, and
other methods were taken to make the
city secure. Along with these meas
ures it was reported that it was the in
tention of the government soon to open
ire upon the squadron"
After making this statement Admiral
da Cana. in his communication, asks:
Are the conditions the same? Are not
You to blame for the change? Should
you not force PeiXOto to keep his COM
pact2 The task of the squadron is more
arduouS. bloody add dangerous, but we
do not falter. Our compact Will be
kept, but we reserve the right 10 reply
TO the city batteries when they deserve
1t without notice. The blame for the re-
suit will be upon YOU"
Admiral Benham sent word to Adj
miral da Cana that he would rot inter-
fere with his military operations, and
told him ne would only object when he
fired on American ships for the purpose
of frightening them FROM going to their
wharves.
Admiral Benham says that no COM
pact exists between the commanders Of
the foreign fleets. They withdrew from
their agreement for the protection of
the city against bOmbardment by the
insurgent vessels months ago. The ad-
miral says he has asked his government
at Washington whether he shall insist
upon notice being given by the in
surgents previous to any attempt to
lombard the city. lie thinks that as
Rio de Janeiro is fortified. he will not
be justified in interfering with any
move OF this sort Oh the part of Admiral
da Cana It is evident that the COM
mandefs OF the other fleets are also
doubtful on this point, dis they have
also asked instructions from their gov
crnmrntS. Admiral Bsnllam has warned
the commanders of American ships in
The harbur that Il bOmOardmeDt is pos
Sible. lie has told them what they
should do, and indicated to what eX-
tent he would protect them.
