BRAZILIAN GOVERNMENT GIVES
IN TO MUTiNoUS NAVY.
THE ULTIMATE EFFECT REARED
The Gu sernment, Through an Extra
Session Of Congress, Grants Every
Demand Made by the Sailors Who
Murdered Officers and Seized Ships.

Rio Jaleiro Nov. 25.--Thc govern.
ment of Brazil today yielded to it's
mutinous navy.
Congress- meeting in extraordinary
session, voted to conCcde every de
mand presented yesterday, including
general amnesty for the sailors who,
after mHrdering as many of their SUI
perior officers as was necessary to
place them in control, trained the guns
of the warships on the capitol.
Fear Ultimate Effect
What the effect will eventually be
on the navy is a matter of some con
Germ.
The immediate effect is to give the
sailors increased pay, shorter hours
of service and less work through the
recruiting of additions to the crews
and to abolish corporal punishment in
the fleet.
Following the action of congress
the mutineers went through the for
mality of surrendering and before
noon today the city had resumed its
normal activities and the public ex-
element had subsidized.
Rio Janerio, Nov. 25-The naval
mutineers surrendered today, con-
gress voting amnesty. The capital
slept last night with the guns of its
own navy, trained upon it, The mutt
neers remained seemingly masters of
the situation. Toward | o'clock this
morning one of the mintinous fleet fir
ed upon the naval arsenal.
The cruiser De Odora had joined the
battleships Minas, Geraes and Sac
Paulo and the scout boat in revolt.
Today's session of the chamber of
deputies was awaited with anxiety but
it's vote of amnesty and the surrender
of the mutineers cleared the situa-
ton The demands of the naval men
were granted.
Last evening the Soa Paulo and the
Bahia withdrew from the harbor, sup
posedly because they feared a night
attack from the loyal torpedo boat
destroyers The Minas Geraes, how
ever, remained opposite the govern
ment palace and was joined by the
cruiser De Odora. Fer several hours
everything was quiet. Then watchers
on shore noted activity on board the
De Odora and soon after midnight the
small guns of De Odora woke the
town. 1t was at first thought the re-
voting vessels were making a COM
s1ned attack on the city.
Expected Attack on City.
A combined attack upon the city
was expected For time a panic
was general. Then it was discovered
that the firing was directed only at
the naval arsenal, The cannonadine
did not last long or do great damage
The local garrisons and the loyal tor
pedo boats did not respond although
according to this mornings papers
their officers had received orders as
to their duties in contingencies. When
the De Odora had ceased firing, she
put to sea, accompanied by the Minas
'Geraes.
Morning broke with the mutinous
craft still outside the harbor and they
did not return to port until some hours
later.
Congress met in extraordinary ses
sion this morning. The chamber o.
deputies first concurred with the sen
ate in gran ing amnesty to the mutt
neers. Both houses then passed reso
lutions conceding the demands of the
sailors.
AS soon as the action of the con
gress become known the mutineer:
surrendered and the revolt was at al
end. The city was soon quiet and re
Stunning its normal activities.
