lieved from that service are to be assigned
to work on the circuits as circuit judges.
The law requires the President to desig-
nate in the first appointments the term of
years during which the judge appointed
shall serve on the commerce court, and
the judge designated to sit for five years
on this court is to act as the presiding
judge. Thereafter the court Is to be COM
posed of five judges to be designated by

Chamber of Deputies Meets.

The chamber of deputies met yesterday
to discuss the subject Of a special session.
The government believes 1t has the situa-
ton well in hand, for, aside from a few
malcontents. the army and navy are
loyal. A strict censorship is being main
tanned, but conditions within the city are
reported to be normal.
The scoutship Rio Grande do Sui fired
the first shot in the revolt, turning her
guns on the city. The heavy lombard
ment by both land batteries and warsnips
caused fearful panic in Rio de Janeiro
and frightened and wounded people fled
in all directions.
According to the newspapers, the
causes leading to the second revolt are
trivial, most of the demands made by
the men in the last mutiny having been
granted by the government

bassy today made public a long cable
gram just received from Rio Branco, the
minister for foreign affairs of Brazil
In effect they show that the revolt did
not extend to the crews of all the seven
men-of-war in the harbor. as was stated
In London dispatches AS a matter OF
fact the mutiny was confined to the
soldiers of the marine barracks in the
fortress on the island of Cobras and a
part of the sailors on the cruiser Rio

Rio Ora nde dol Sui was immediately sub.
dued by the captain of the ship assisted
by the loyal members of the crew Or

Fortress Practically Destroyed.

The fortress on Cobra Island was prac-
tically destroyed by shells from the shore
batteries and the loyal ships. The gov
eminent acted energetically from the mo-
ment of the outbreak and when Saturday
the mutineers pleaded for amnesty this
was refused and they were told that their
unconditional surrender would be insisted
upon.
Forces Engaged in Bombardment.
Two land batteries, two warships and
several destroyers took part In the bonn
bardment of the Island, and twice dur
ing the engagement an arnlistice was
allowed for the removal of the dead and
wounded. Firing ceased entirely late in
the evening of. Saturday, .%,as. 40 Actual
surrender of the rebe.s occurred, the
commanders of the government forces
deemfng 1t the wiser course to await the
coming of the succeeding day.
The destroyers, however, were stationed
within the east range of the island, so
as to prevent any attempt by the mutt
neers to escape. Toward midnight sew
eral boats put out, and men could he
seen swimming, evidently with the in
tention Of reaching the mainland. The
destroyers bore down on them and made
them prisoners.
