Peculiar Position with the San

Warships Outside the Harbor.

Rio de Janeiro, March 10.-[Copyright,
1894, by Associated Press, ]-There now
seems to be definite prospect for a
the rebellion as. far as Rio Janeiro is
concerned.
The dynamite cruiser Nictheroy, the
torpedo boat Aurora, the torpedo boat
Destroyer, and the three torpedo boats
brought over from Germany have ar
rived here
When the sun rose this morning Pc
ixoto'S fleet was seen at anchor in a
small bay at the entrance Of the har-
Dor, and well protected by the guns
of Fort Santa Cruz.
The Nictheroy, from the position
which she now occupies, is expected
to be able to throw dynamite shells at
Fort Villegaignon, and when Villegaig-
non has been silenced it is expected
that the Nictheroy's consorts will steam
up to a sheltered position behind the
island, upon which the Villegaignon
Notifications now stand, and will from
there shell the rebel fleet, while being
protected from the fire of the heavy
guns OF the insurgents ships

All insurgent war ships, as well as
the government fleet, have cleared for
action, and a battle now seems immi-
nent
The United States cruiser San Fran
cisco, flagship of Admiral Benham, has
anchored in a most peculiar position
near the small island on which Fort
Laga stands. The San Francisco is
but little way out of the line of fire,
should the Nictheroy open up on Vile
gaignon with her dynamite guns on
the other hand, no better position could
be chosen by the United States adj
miral for judging of the efficiency of
the dynamite gun.
The other United States war vessels
are just outside the harbor and 1t is
presumed they will come inside when
the action commences.
F The general opinion seems to be that
the battle will commence tonight or
tomorrow night

Washington, March 10-Secretary
Herbert has made a response to the
Boutene resolution in the House, call
ing on him to state his authority for
the issuing of instructions placing the
naval forces at Honolulu under the or
ders of Blount In substance the ans
wer is that the action was necessary to
prevent a conflict of authority and that
the secretary's authority for issuing
the orders was the president, the COM
mander-in-chief of the army and navy,
and he cites a number of presidents
for the action.
The secretary begins his reply by
quoting his instructions to Admiral
Skerritt and that part of Blounts ere
dentials to President Dole, describing
his authority as paramount in all mat
ters pertaining to the relations with
Hawaii, and calls attention to the fact
| that at this time the United States
forces had been landed and the United
States flag was floating over Honolulu.
Under the circumstances, and in view
! OF the remoteness of the Islands, the
secretary says it was essential that no
conflict of authority with reference to
the disposition of the United States
forces should arise but that they
should be employed in harmony with
the policy Of the state department.
Therefore Skerritt was ordered to obey
the directions of Blount. Herbert says
he deems it at all times the duty of the
naval department in matters affecting
! foreign relations to act in subordina-
! ton to the civil branch, and not take
the initiative, except In special ext
gences, admitting of no delays 1t was
especially so in the case in hand be-
cause there was a special representa-
tive of the state department there
charged with duties of a delicate, con-
fidential nature. Moreover the orders
were issued by the authority of the
president himself
The secretary then cites a number
of precedents, running as far back as
1923, to show the propriety of the ac-
ton taken
In 1928 the United States ship En-
terprise was sent to Porto Rico and
the commander was to regulate his
| operations by the advice Of the govern
ment."
During the Mexican war Nichols
| Trest, an agent of the state depart
ment, was clothed with power to ar
range for the mutual suspensions OF
| hoStilities and Commodore Perry was
| instructed not to relax the vigor of his
operations while he (TresD remained
in Mexico unless he directs you tc
suspend them" This order was com.
piled with
In 1869 General Babcock went on
board the United States ship Albany
to San Domingo and the commodore
was directed to conform to all General
Babcock's wishes and orders. In 1876
Lieutenant Bunce had similar orders.

TESTING AKMOR PLATES.
satisfactory Work Mt Indian Head
Yesterday.

Washington, March l0.-The navy
department has tested the first armor
plates completed by the New Harvey
plant of the Carnegie plant. The plates
do not represent any particular lot de-
signed for a. vessel, but are expert
mental plates. The experiment was
conducted at the government proving
station at Indian Head. Only one
plate was tested, being 10 incneS hIck,
s by 10 feet. Three shots were fired
from a distance of 800 feet. The first
was a Carpenter S-inch shell, little
longer than the ordinary shells, which
struck the plate about 16 inches from
the top and the same distance from
one side. The velocity was 1,S4l feet.
The point of the shell was welded into
the plate, and fragments were scat
tered, two slight cracks were inflicted
on the plate, neither touching the r1Vet
holes.
An 1S-inch Hotter. striking with a
velocity of 1000 feet, was the second
shot. This also struck near the upper
edge, and was shattered, its point be-
ing welded into the plate and two
cracks, one from the shell to the bot
tom of the plate, the other TO the top
were made Neither of them went
through the rivet holes. The third
shot, a 1O-inch cast steel, with a We
locity of 1900 feet, broke the plate,
lifting the upper part over the oak
backing, and destroyed it, that shell
being smashed also.
Naval men consider the test proof
