of sixteen American battleships ma
iestically parading in column of fours
in the local harbor is to-day the centre
of attraction for Brazllians of high and
low degree.
The big fighting machines are as
spotless and in as fine a condition as
when they cleared Hampton Roads.
The flagship win be moored abreast of
Cobra, directly in front OF the heart Of
the city. Liberty parties were allowed
on shore to-day. but prior to the de-
parture Of the men from the ships they
were warned by their officers that they
would be held strictly accountable for
their conduct,

chacrined Admiral Evans, and he will
personally investigate any wrongdoiug
on the part Of the men.
To-day the chief officers Of the fleet,

at once to Petropolis, where they were
guests at luncheon of Mr.. Dudley, the
American Ambassador. This after

Never before has craft like these
visited these waters. The Rio authori.
ties have notified Admiral Evans that
they desire the American commander
to land a marine guard 10 control the
liberty parties ashore, and this is like
lv TO be done. The chief reason for
this WIS the disaffcction among the ma

Gus mass meetings are being held and
the officials are concerned that should
the natives start trouble the American

In q letter transmitting to the Pres.-

The secretary's letter says in part:
Governor Magoon has conducted

tactful eway. and with the conspicuous
success. He has carried on his should-
ers the whole burden and responsibility
of an extensive government He has
had labor troubles. which through his
conciliatory but impartial attitude
have been brought to an end. He has
dealt with the two parties in such N
way that when ] visited the island in
April of last year the representatives

Dental election until December and the

we assumed temporary control Of Cuba,

CLASHES BETWEEN
GUARDS AND SOCIALISTS
By THE JOURNALS Special wire.


BERLIN, Jan. 13.-Just how serious
was the rioting Of Socialists in Berlin
yesterday did not develop until to-day,
when it became known that fearing a
hostile attack would be made on him
the police virtually compelled Emperor
William to call off a motor car trip he
had planned for yesterday afternoon
This submission Of the usually auto
cratic Kaiser to mob rule is regarded
as the most remarkable event in Will
liam's reign. With mobs surging
through the principal streets and fight
ing constantly against the police
guards who blocked their attempts to
reach the imperial palace and Chan
cellor Buelow's residence, the munici-
pal authorities decided It would be
positively unsafe for the Emperor to
venture into the public thoroughfares.
Kaiser Changed Plan
His Majesty had planned a ride to
Grunewald forest, on the western out
skirts, where he delights to walk, and
at first overruled the police. 1t was
only when they declared that his ap-
pearance might stir the malcontents to
a point that even fiercer rioting would
occur that he consented to their impor-
tunings.
Fully aroused by the violence Of yes
terday's disorders, in which they found
it necessary to fight with sabres and
clubs against 10000 determined Social
lists and nearly as many more sympa-
thizers, the police to-day served notice
that further attempts at demonstration
will be met with severest repressive
measures.
At the same time orders have been
issued to the police to be prepared to
fire on crowds Of demonstrators II they
refuse to disperse The authorities are
determined to restore quiet and order
at any cost The bold hint made by
Socialists at yesterdays meeting that
violence will surely follow anv police
attempt to end their attempt to obtain
universal suffrage and the courts re-
fusal OF their demands has opened all
eyes TO the real seriousness Of the sit
uation. The police now fear to give
the lirhtest license to the Socialists,
fearing to do so would plunge the city
into strife.
Police Patrol Streets
All night heavy police patrols guard
ed the streets to prevent disorders.
To-day they are still on duty, although
the danger is not regarded as so
threatening because most OF yester-
days demonstrators are back at work.
but Fridays outbreak was warning
that street demonstrations fraught
with great danger can come Of a feu
moments brewing.
Yesterday saw almost continuous
fighting and struggling between police
and Socialists and their sympathizers
from early morning to late at night.
ignoring the police warning that street
parades would not be tolerated, scores
of Socialist organizations tried to
march to the eight halls where mass
meetings had been arranged. Constant
rows with the police were the result.
