upiic interest In the abortive attempt

president was waning rapidly when it was
ianned into fresh activity by news that
reached this port today. It appears that

10 tree DE sylvia, who, with certain other
ministers expelled by the successful rev.
olutlon OF two years ago, is a prisoner
on the island of Fernando do Noronha
Lioyds agent on that island reports that
the British steamer Andromeda, owned
by David Verify G. Co. of Liverpool. put
INTO south bay, on the southeast side Of
Fernando do Noronha, early on the morn
ing OF Aug. 81, and 1t is alleged that her
mission was to take De Sylvia and his
companions on board. The garrison, fore
warned by the central government and al
ready on the qui vive ewing to the disap-
pearance of their important prisoners
from their usual quarters, opened fire on
the Andromeda as soon as she revealed
her purpose by lowering boat.
The steamer, being unarmed. made no
attempt to defend herself and was speed
lily disabled. She sank within five min
utes off the Grand-pere rock with all on
board. With reckless bravado her COM
mander ran up the vessels code signals
and house flag while she was actually CO.
ing down, thus establishing her identity
beyond shadow of doubt. A note of
undoubted presence o. a lady on board,
probably De Sylvas daughter, though it
was believed here that the ex-president' 8
family were in Paris. kilograms from

Sylvia has been recapturod. 1t is quite
certain that he has not landed in Brazil,
but the reticence of the authorities as to
the state of effairs on Fernando Noronha
leads to the assumption that he and a
few stanch adherents are still in hiding
in one Of the many natural Businesses
with which the island abounds.
The British community on the littoral
Is deeply stirred by the drastic treatment
received by the Andromeda. 1t is pointed
out that another ship, the Andros- y Mela,
believed to have been chartered by the
insurgents, Is under arrest at Bahia, and
the similarity between the two names Is
regarded as singular, to say the least.
Were 1t not that Lloyd's agent whose
veracity cannot be questioned, has stated
explicitly that the Andromeda put into
South bay, a point significantly far re-
moved from the regular track of trading
vessels, 1t might be urged that a terrible
mistake had been made. In any event.

as though thought itself refused to act.
"Is that the lot?" he inquired me-

"Nearly ALL at present. Here, how
ever, is short telegram from Paris

And Verify read again:
Paris, Sept g.
The members of Dom Corria de Sylvia s
family, seen early this morning at the
Hotel Continental, deny that any lady
connected with the cause of Brazilian
freedom took part in the attempted rescue
of the ex-president. They are much an
noyed by the unfounded report and hold
strongly to the opinion that the revolu
tion would now have been fait accompl

Of the Andros-yMela and thus led to thai
vessels detention at Bahia.
