New YoRK. Jan. lS.-The Hernlds dis
patch from Monteyideo says: The owners of
merchant vessels anchored in the harbor Of
Montevideo have requested that the Bra
lillian man-ofwar leave her present anchor
age, as she carries great quantity OF cN-
plosive material and they regard her pres
ence so near as dangerous.
1t is doubted here If Meo will be able to
muster sufficient men to warrant MIN in
making landing anywhere near Rio.
A correspondent in that city sends word
that the Aquidaban is expected to leave the
harbor soon in search of soldiers. Pexoto
in the meantime continues sending troops to
Nictheroy rs he evidently expects the rebels
to attack it in force before long.
Marshal Conrado Memyar and General
Argolio have both gone to Nictheroy to take
command, and it is estimated that the num-
ber of Pcixoto's troops exceeds 5000 men.
The rebels in launches aud the Cobras island
garrison maintain their fire upon the city of
Rio day and night with rapid firing guns,
killing and wounding inoffensive persons.
This has aroused much i'll feeling among
even friends OF the rebels. who protest
against the wanton destruction of life.
Continuous attacks have been made for
the last two days by the fleet upon the land
ing places of the Nictheroy, but the govern
ment gunners answer promptly. 1t is ru-
mored that there is; a split in the rebels
council, and that Mello is not in accord with

SWINBURNE TELLS HIS TALE
Lieutenant Commander Of the Boston Before
the Hawaiian Committee.
HAD COMMAND OF THE MARINES ON SHORE
Details the Events After the Landing of
Troops Up TO the Time of tho Sur
render OF the station House
to Dole.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Lieutenant Com
mander Swinburne of the Boston was the
only witness before the senate subcommit-
tee investigating the Hawaiian question to-
day. He is the officer who had active com
mand of the American troops on shore In
Honolulu at the time of the revolution and
his testimony is considered important as it
bears upon some points which have
been in dispute and to which much in
portance is attached He was questioned
concerning the time of landing,
the location of the troops in Arion
hall and the time of the surrender of the
station house. He was also asked to explain
how the troops chanced to be located at
Arison hall and was reminded of the charge
made by MIR. BlOuut and the friends OF the
queen that, of all places, this was the one
best calculated to serve the interest OF the
provisional government, being located just
across narrow street from the government
building, where they would prove menace
to the que ems forces
1t is understood that Mr.. Swinburne ad-
mitted more unfortunate selection could
not have been made, and that he said he had,
previous to the landing, advised that some
other place be chosen. In the main,
however, his testimony corporated the state
ments of Minister Stevens and The officers
OF the provisional government he con-
tended that there had not been conspiracy
involving the naval force,
Mr.. Swinburne was reminded OF the dis
crepancies in shls statements concerning
the time of the surrender OF the station
house. He said that occurred two or three
hours after the landing of the Boston troops,
or about 80 p. m.
Commander Swinburne, who is in poor
health, was excused early with the under
standing that he would continue his testi-
mony another day.

Very Little Change Has Occurred in the

RIO DE JANEIRo, Jan. 17.-There is little
change in the situation here today The
usual skirmishes/ continue. Although the
rebels occupy Macangue island, it is ex-
pected the government guns at Armacao
will render the position of Macangue island
useless to the rebels.
Admiral de Mello is not yet known to have
arrived here, and the usual uncertainty pre-
walls as to his whereabouts Report has it
that the rebel admiral is expected here to-
night, and that he has with him the neces-
sary reinforcements to make n landing at
point within easy march os Rio de Janeiro.
The official confirmation issued by the
minister of foreign affairs shows the report
previously cabled to the Associated press
regarding the situation was correct. There
now seems no longer any doubt that the
rebels, after raising the siege of Bage, lost
nearly 800 men, ,saEd that they committed
many atrocities during their retreat. The
government of President PeiXoto is still
firmly CONVINCED of its success and the end
is not far distant ,-rl>'7 ~ 2'-''- ~
This seems to be the opinion of the rebels,
but they do not look upon the end in the
same light as do the adherents of PeiXoto.
Business continues hopelessly tangled up
and impeded and everybody, ashore and
afoat, is heartily wishing for the speedy
termination of this monotonous struggle.

Insurance Computes In Kansas Must Pay
the Municipal Tax.
TOPEKA, Jdn. 1.-THE city of Topeka has
called upon State Insurance Commissioner
Snyder to require the fire insurance com
panies of other states doing business in this
city to pay into the city treasury the re-
cprocal tax of per cent on their gross premi-
ums ON risks in the city, and Mr.. Snyder has
notified the fire insurance companies Of New
York to forward at once n statement of
their Topeka business since 1871, since
which time the tax has not been paid. The
demand, it is expected, will not be obeyed
and suits will follow.
While the demand has been made only on
New York companies for the present, Com
missioner Snyder SAYS all companies subject
to the tax will be called upon. AS q natural
consequence of the Topeka demand other
cities will make like demands. The tax is.
by law, laid for the benefit Of the municipal
fire department.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Allison of
Iowa, member of the finance committee,
in speaking of the present financial diff
ficulties, says it would have been the best
policy to have adopted the provision which
was made q part of the appropriation bill
last February, and then the difficulty under
which the treasury now labors would have
been avoided.
Referring to the statement of Senator
Voorhees, yesterday, he said it was not the
statement of the committee, vet it was the
understanding that it might represent the
ideas of majority of the committee, and
might also mean that no action would be
taken by 1t a. present.
1T Is conceded" said he, "that the dis
cusson in the senate would take six weeks,
and that the secretary would have to issue
bonds anyway The secretary did not come
to us (meaning the finance committee) until
after the house had been buutoned up for a
month by the tariff bill, and could take no
action. What ought to have been done was
to take up the bond question before the
tariff, and settled that which was most

WIN Advance the Barley Rate.

WAsHINGroN, Jan. 17,-The democratic
members of the ways and means committee
have decided upon an important amendment
to the pending tariff bill, 1t covers the item
of barley, but its effect extends
to the extensive manufacture of beer
and various other products The rate
already prepared in the Wilson bill Is 20 per
cent ad valoren. Mr. Whiting proposed that
this scale be advanced to 80 per cent and
after much discussion the au,endment was
agreed to. The change is said to be OF
special interest to the beer industry of the
west, which uses American barley, and
against tho eastern beer industry, which
draws its supply of barley from Canada.

Congress Will Not Listen to the Dusky
MnnnrCh'S Plea.

Monarch's Plea.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17-Tha rumor that the
Hawaiian ex-queen will present a claim for
damages to the United States government
continues to be discussed, although it is
pretty generally discredited. No such claim
has been presented. The leaders of the
house say that claim Of this kind could
never be sustained. Judge Holman says
congress would not listen to such PROPOSE
tion for moment. The claim coud not be
based on the idea that President Cleveland
and Secretary Gresham had admitted that
the queens overthrow was due to the course
of Minister Stevens and the landing of
United States marines, for such admissions
cover admissions of fact and would not be
considering as binding on congress when it
came to 4 claim for damages.
Representative Warner of the foreign af
fairs committee says that the talk of a
claim by the queen is preposterous. There
would be no legal warrant for setting up
claim against this country for such action as
it saw fit to take regarding revolution in
another country. He cites the action of the
United States in the various South Ameri-
can revolutions as showing that the govern
ment's action in an international complica-
tion cannot be made the basis OF claim.
Representative Hit, leader of the foreign
committee, says that the talk of tho claim
by the queen is more of q joke thana reality.
He thinks, however, that her claim for dam
ages is capable of exact calculation from the
propositions submitted some months ago by
the queens representative, Paul Newman.
The latter desired pension of $4,000 ana
the rental of certain crown lands, all of
which was to pe in consideration of the
queens peaceful abdication of her rights.
Representative Boutelle, who has led the
republican assault in the house on the la
waiian policy, says tina; If congress sustains
President Cleveland in the policy thus far
pursued the necessary sequel will be the
authorization of a substantial payment to
recompense the queen for the failure to re-
store her
