Chief of Rio Police in Official Note Reveals Undoubted Plan to Destroy Bat
 tleships.
DECLARES DANGER PAST
Warned of Plot by Washington and Paris Officials-Conspiring For aigners Have Now Fled
 to the Interior.

Rio Janeiro Jan. 19.-The Brazilian
 police have discovered an anarchistic
 plot here having as it's object the de-
 struction of part of the American fleet
 now lying in the harbor, The conspir-
 acy centers in Rio Janeiro and Petro-
 polls but has ramifcations in Sac
 Paulo and Minas Geraes. An indiyid-
 ual named Jean Fedher, who resided in
 Petropolis was the chief conspirator
 here although it is understood that for
 eign anachists are deeply Involved in the plot. Fedher is believed to have fld to Sac Paul3 and the police who know him have sent to that place to apprehend him One of the detectives,
 who was well acquainted with Fedher
 having served on the police force at
 Petropolis for some time, returned from
 place to- day, after having made in
 .vestigations there and had long con-
 ference with the chief of police at Rio
 Janeiro. The latter let it be understood
 later that the Sac Paulo police are on < the track of the rch-conspirator and expect to arrest him soon.
 In an official note which the chief of police sent to the correspondent of the Associated Press, he says:
 Some time before the arrival of the American fleet at Rio Janeiro, the Bra gillian government received from Wash ingtoi and Paris advices that anar- { chists of different nationalities intend ed to damage one or several of the ships of the American feet The names and addresses of the conspirators were findcated by information which the po- Mice here hal received previously from Y France and Germany The police of \ this district are working with the police ;l of Sac Paulo and Minas Geraes and {. am sure every orecaution will be ex- S ervised and the most rigorous vigilance 2 observed both on land and at sea tc N prevent any injury being done"
 N The chief of police after having made K this official statement, said he did not M feel he should go into any further de P tails with regard to the conspiracy, but .l he authorized the statement that the lplot was organized by Fedher and he \ added that the people of the United \ States could rest easy because all of the dconspirators had taken refuge in the lIinterior.
 Al As yet the people of Brazil are ig- Hnorant of the details of the plot to do sIinjury to the visitors, although there 4has been some slight inkling of the 'lmatter. The impression which the ex- Aposure of this plot will create here will s3be profound one, because 1t is the 3}frst anarchistic conspiracy that has Never been known in Brazil. The police Ebf Sac Paulo have sent word that they Mare on the track of the malefactors,
 m o. they declare, will not be able to ascome to Rio Janeiro.
