The New York, New Haven q Hartford
Railroad has adopted new plan for the
management Of its law business. II is re-
ported that the officers OF the company
have declared their purpose to employ
counsel willing to do the work at
Tower rates than those which
have heretofore been paid, and to
divide their court cases among several
lawyers In each town. In this way they
expect to get their legal business trans
acted at considerable less expense than
IN all their oises were put in the hands OF
a single attorney who should handle all
their cases the most difficult as we'll as the
simplest. Under these circumstances,
Walter Il. Vincent, Esq., who
has had charge of the Consolidated's
law business in Providence for some
years will withdraw from connection
with the railroad company. Mr.. Vincent

Washington, Feb. 1.-Secretary Her
bert has given out the following:
Rio De Janeiro, Jan. 49,
To the Secretary of the Navy, Wash
ington, D. c.:
Two American merchant vessels, on
Saturday, were prevented from going
alongside the wharf Today at a. m.
1 sent the Detroit to take position
that would protect the vessels going
alongside the wharf, and instructed the
officers if fired upon ito return the fire.
My vessel got under way and cleared
for action.
After the Detroit took position boat
from the one vessel that was running
a line preparatory to hauling in, was
fired upon with muskets from an insur-
gent ship. The Detroit returned the fire
with the one-pounder, the shot strik-
ing under her bow. The insurgents
fired a broadside gun leeward. Later,
the insurgents fired their broadside gun
over the American merchant vessel.
The Detroit returned the fire with
muskets striking the insurgents stern
post Passing by the insurgent, he
was hailed, saying: 'If you fire again,
| will return your fire, and if necessary
will sink you" The Detroit was an
chored so as to Command both vessels
One merchant vessel having been car
ried to a new position near the wharf
and the tugs having offered their SER
Vice gratuituously to discharge the
cargo, the insurgent leader was notified
that these vessels would discharge
from their present position, but that
my determination was not changed
to give American merchant vessels
full protection to the wharf, if they de-
cided to go.

BENHAM.
TO PROTECT AMERICANS.
This Was the Only Cause of Ben
hams Recent Action.

Washington, Feb. 1.-Gresham has
received a dispatch from Minister
Thompson at Rio, confirming the de-
tails of Admiral Benham's encounter
with the insurgents. After relating the
story as told in Benhams dispatch,
Thompson says:
.'Benham has not interviewed in the
least with the military or naval opera
tions on either side, nor is it his inten-
ton to do So He has notified the in
surgents that it is his duty to protect
American commerce and this he in
tends to do, and he says American YES
sells must not be interfered with in
their movements but must take the
consequence of getting in the line of
fire when legitimate hostihties are &C
tually in progress. Until beligerent
rights are accorded, the insurgents
have no right to exercise authority over
American vessels or property. The
rights of the insurgents to search neu-
trail vessels or seize any portion OF the1f
cargo is denied, even though they may
be within the class defined as contra
band of war during hostilties between
independent governments. The forcfble
seizure of such articles in the present
status of the insurgents would cOnSti-
tute acts of piracy. Since the effective
action of Monday everything is quiet.
The attempted blockade to commerce
and trade is broken and events have
moved smoothly. All the foreign COM
manders concur as far as / am advised.
(Signed). THOMPSON.

DA CANVAS LETTER.
His Statement to the Conference of
Commanders.

Rio de Janeiro, Feb. 1. copyrighted,
1894, by the Associated Press. Follow
ing is the letter Admiral Da Cana
sent yesterday to the conference of
naval commanders to discuss the ac
ton of Admiral Benham in the pro-
lection of American vessels:
'At the beginning of the revolution
the city of Rio Janeiro was defended
by six field pieces and was at the
mercy of the squadron in the harbor.
The chiefs of foreign naval fleets in a
collective and unanimous vote, de-
clared they would oppose, with force,
the bombardment unless 1t was pro-
voked from land On learning of this,
President Peixoto withdrew the field
pieces and by stratagem began the
work of re-fortifying the city with
numerous and heavy guns. The work
was begun recently and was COM
pleted openly All the hills in the city
were marked by Notifications and the
monasterieS and factories were con-
verted into fortresses. Trenches were
dug in the streets and other methods
taken to make the city secure. Along
with these measures it was reported
it was the intention of the government
to soon open fire upon the squadron =
After making this statement, Da
CANA asks. Are Tile COuQlIlOIS the
same? Are not you to blame for the
change? Should you not force PeiXoto
to keep his compact? The task of the
squadron is more arduous, bloody and
dangerous, but we do not falter Our
compact will be kept but we reserve
the right to reply to the city batteries
when they deserve it, without notice.
The blame for the result will be upon
you
Admiral Benham sent word to Da
Cana that he would not interfere with
the military operations and told him
he would only object when he fired
on American ships for the purpose of
frightening them from going to the
wharves.
Benham says no compact exists be-
tween the commanders of the foreign
fleets. They withdrew from the agree
ment for the protection of the city
against the bonlbardment of the in
surgents months ago. The admiral
says he has asked the gov
eminent at Washington whether
he shall insist on notice be-
ling given by the insurgents
previous to any attempt to lombard
| the city. He thinks, as Rio is fortified
he will not be justified in interfering
with any move of this sort on the par
lof Da CANA. 1t is evident the com
manders of other fleets are also doubt
lful on this point, as they have alsC

FRENCH COAST DEFENSE.
All the Details for 1t Have Been Ar
ranged.

Paris, Feb. LIN the chamber today,
a vote of confidence was passed-356 to
16O-that the government would effect
the necessary reforms in the navy and
provide for coast defense. The min
lister of war said all the details of the
defense of the coast in the event of
war had been arranged and the naval
and military coast defenses would, if
war broke out, be under a single COM
mander. Submarine torpedoes would
be largely utilized in the defense of the
coast and it was expected they would
be very serviceable. France could
count upon 100000 men for coast de-
Tense without counting the reserves
and the marine infantry.
