Ships Fade Away.

Rio &c Janero.-The government OF
Brazil Saturday yielded to its mu-
tinous navy. Congress, meeting in eX-
traOrdinary session, voted to concede
every demand Of the ultimatum pre-
scented yesterday, including general
amnesty for the sailors, who, after
numbering as many Of their superior
officers as was necessary to place
themselves in complete control, train
ed the guns of the warships upon the
capital. g.
What effect the outcome will have
eventually on the discipline of the
navy is matter of some concern.
The immediate effect is to give the
sailors increased pay, shorter hours OF
service and less work through the re-
cruiting of additions to the crews, and
to abolish corporal punishment in the
feet.
In the meantime the mutinous YES
sells. which had been waiting outside

as pretty an Irish bull as could be
