RIO JANEIRO, Oct. 6.-Canudos, the
stronghold of the fanatics, under An
tonic Conselheiro, has fallen. It has
been captured by the Government
troops after a desperate engagement
with the revolutionists. Antonio Con-

This is the third announcement from
Rio Janeiro since April last of the cap
t1re of Canudos by the Government
troops, but the first time that Antonio
Conselheiro, the leader Of the fanatics,
has been reported among the prison
ers. If this extraordinary individual
strange combination of priest, war
rior and man of affairs, has fallen into
the hands of the Government troops, the

ceived. Antonio, the counselor, as ne

HAVANA, Oct. 6-In spite Of Cap

notable demonstration took place here
to-day in his honor. The Bourse was
closed, as were also the principal stores

palace, where as many as 10000 peo-
pie were gathered. Several bands dis
courSed patriotic music. The plaza and
the thoroughfares leading into it were
densely crowded.
A number of deputationS went to the
palace, where they were received by
the Captain General. According to the
official accounts, they assured him that
it was the desire of all the loyal in
habitants of the island that he should
continue at the head of the Govern

AUXILIARY CRUISERS.
NAVY DEPARTMENT PREPAR-
ING FOR AN EMERGENCY.
Gaining Information as to Steam
ships of American Registry
for War Purposes.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-The Navy
Department has sent letters to the
leading steamship agents, whose ves-
sells have American registry, asking for
speed and general adaptability of the
information as to the displacement,
speed and general adaptability of
vessels for war purposes. All ships of
great tonnage now built in this coun-
try are SO constructed that they would
readily meet the requirements of the
navy as auxiliary cruisers should their
services be required.
The navy at present carries on it's
list Of vessels that would be available
as commerce destroyers in war time
the names Of forty-two ships, thirty
two of which are on the Atlantic coast,
six on the Pacific and the rest on the
Great Lakes.
Chief Constructor Hichborn under
whose direction plans are being drawn
by which the ST. Louis type of vessels
could be converted into formidable
modern auxiliary cruisers, estimates
that he can send the ST. Louis to sea
in three weeks fully equipped with an
effective battery and with the vitals
we'll protected by a system of coal
bunkers. He estimates that the navy
now has about one dozen ships which
could be quickly converted under the
plans already perfected, and the 9TH
ers could be made available in little
more time.
He anticipates that at least five
years will be required to draw plans
for the full list of vessels carried on
the list of merchant ships that could
be used for war purposes, and by that
time rifles Will have been delivered at
the navy yard for every one of such
ships.
Captain O'Neil, the ordnance chief,
will in his annual report, now in prep
aration, urge that $500, 900 be provid-
ed with which to manufacture guns for
reserve purposes. These guns he pur-
poses assembling at New York, Nor
folk and League Island, with cartridges
and equipment complete, so that they
can be mounted on shipboard at short
notice.

ISLAND OF CUBA.
Senator Davis Says It's Ultimate
Destiny Is Into Our Union.

ST. PAUL. Oct. 6.-The Pioneer
Press will tomorrow publish a
lengthy interview with Senator Davis.
Chairman of the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations, relating to the Gu
ban question.
Senator Davis doubts if any Ministry
extended autonomy to Cuba it would be
sustained by the Spanish people, or
whether it were, in any event, accepted
by Cuba save through the influence of
our Government with the people of the
island. He does not favor immediate
annexation of the island, but is of the
opinion that should it secure indepen-
dence it's ultimate destiny is into our
Union, without aggressive action on our
part. He does not apprehend war at any
time with Spain over the question, and
he looks for the collapse of Spanish
power in Cuba before the. close of the
dry season.
He believes that while the instruc-
tions of Minister Woodford were not
the nature of an ultimatum, they were
quite possibly of such a nature as to
produce the recent change in the Min
istry in Spain.
In conclusion, he says: 'I want to say
this, that the United States has,
throughout the last administration and
the present, pursued a course SO for
bearing that Spain has no just reason
to complain The belligerency of Cuba
Should, in my opinion, have been recog-
niZed long ago. This Government has
refrained from doing so, and has en-
forced our neutrality laws against her
own citizens with greatest vigilance and
stringency. Spain has had every op-
portunity, SO far as this Government is
concerned, to win back Cuba by coer-
cion or negotiations, and has failed to
do so. The moderation which the
United States has displayed has been
recognized and wondered at by many
of the leading journals of England and
Continental Europe"
