Washington.

HKAZII. S UNHAIM'Y TKAOEUY.

Washington,

4\Kio,

March 14.—The crisis

has been reached at Hio do Janeiro, and the two cablegrams that were received In Washington Tuesday mark the beginning of the saddest and bloodiest chapter of the long and stub-bornly-contested insurrection in Brazil. Tho iiriit news came from Admiral Benham in a cablegram .addressed to Secretary Herbert, and read as follows:

March l&—Notico has been Riven by

this government that the bombardment of the insurgent ships ami tort* from the city tvill commence at noon. Tho Insurpent admiral, It la reported, has taken refuge on a Portuguese man-of-wur. On inquiry 1 find he in not on hoard yet. BKNHAM

Thought Da (iainn Hud Escaped. The news convej'ed by Admiral Benham was oontained in the laat sentence of his dispatch, relative to Admiral da Oatnn. All of t.ho preceding dispatches, the oflicial as well as the press cables, had stated that the rebel admiral was ou board tho Portuguese man-of-war Mindcllo. From Admiral Kenham's statement it is believed that Ha (iama either boarded over night one of the fleet's little steam launches, passed between the forts without being seen and escaped to some friendly port, or that, ho joined his own raeu on his flagship, the Tiradentcs, determined to fight to the last., and if the fortunes of war went against him to go down with the oflicers ant: men he had been unable to save.

Hoped for Peaceful Solution. Despite I'euhum's dispatch the secretary of state and the secretary of the navy hoped that there might be a peaceful solution of the trouble at Rio, and it was surmised that Admiral Benham had merely reported the formal notice issued Monday without knowledge of the effort of Da (Jama to make a conditional surrender. The dispatches received Monday night seemed to warrant such an assumption. But these hopes were extinguished when late In the afternoon United States Minister Thompson was heard from as follows:

Bombardment ltcciim.

"Rio, March IS.—Secretary of State, Washington-. The local forts Commenced firing today. The fire was not returned by the Insurgents. The terms of Da (Jama have .been refused by the government, which will open Ore upon him from the city batteries this afternoon ui 3 o'clock. The city is nearly abandoned and deserted. THOMPSON/'

The receipt of this dispatch gave rise to much uneasiness to the department officials,which was undoubtedly shared by the president, to whom it was communicated.

Will lie a Ruthless Hatchery. Mouday night there was every reason to believe that a peaceful outcome had been reached hi the disastrous warfare that had been waged at Rio, and no one doubted tP.at President Pcixoto would concede the apparently reasonable and honorable terms of capitulation asked bv Da Gama. The rebel admiral had offered to expatriate himself and his oflicers to become exiles in a foreign land on condition that the lives of his soldiers and sailors should be spared. Such terms are freely accorded in auy honorable warfare in civilized lands, yet to the surprise of the administration they had been refused by Peixoto.

In spite of its best efforts to be exactly fair and neutral in the contest in Brazil our government, in its desire to protect American interests and uphold the glory of republican institutions, has given color to the belief that its moral sympathy lay with the Peixoto government So the hews that the rules of civilized warfare had been disregarded and that brave but defeated insurgents, hemmed in on all sides, are to be refused the chance to surrender on honorable terms and forced to throw themselves upon tho mercy of the government without any guaranty of their lives falls with disagreeable force upon every official in tlie government here who has had to do with the trouble in any capacity,

Will Withdraw Our Support. Undoubtedly the moral sympathy of the United States has been a valuable and considerable aid to the Brazilian government since lf?92, when the first symptoms of the rebellion were manifested in the southern provinces, but if Peixoto is determined to maintain his present unrelenting and vindictive attitude, for such it is freely denominated by naval and diplomatic officers here, that measure of support is certain to be withdrawn from him.

They Surrender.

Rio DIC JANEIRO, March 14.—The war is practically over and the cause of the insurgents is a lost one. There Is much rejoicing in this city at the culmination of tho struggle which has continued so many months, with no object seemingly but to hamper business and destroy property.

The rebel forces have surrendered, unconditionally, almost without tiring a shot. The officers of the insurgent fleet have taken refuge on board French and Portuguese warships. One French vessel has put to sea with many of tho rebel officers on board. It Is said that Admiral da Gama is on board the British warship Sirins. liutored the llurhor.

When the fact became known that Da Gama had offered to capitulate the government ileet entered the harbor quietly. As the vessels made their way up tho bay they were sainted by the various government batteries. The greatest excitement prevails in* tho city. The streets are crowded and everywhere can be heard the cry of "Viva Peixoto!" For the last two days the streets have been packed with

.people, and all the available trucks and hand-carts have been busy carrying household goods and personal effeots out of tho city. The tram-cars have been jammed until it was learned that

ORAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, \VEU2sESDA Y, MARCH 14, 181)

the struggle was over. This was mo.-t joyful news to the people, who fully expected that a battle was at hand.

Terms R«faa.il.

The reply of President Peixoto to the terms of surrender offered by Admiral da Gama was made known Tuesday afternoon. Tho president refused to accept other terms than those of an unconditional surrender of all the rebel ships and forts in and about the bny of Rio de Janeiro.

At tho expiration of forty-eight hours' notice given by President Peixoto the government forts, as previously arranged, opened fire on the rebel fleet. The Insurgents did not reply.

De Mello Proved False.

The Insurgent warship Aquidabau is not in this harbor. Admiral de Mello was false to the erapnror and to President Ftmseca and President Peixoto. He now proves false to Admiral da Gama. Where he and his vessel are is uotkuown.

Much Suffering In Rln.

There has been much suffering in the city. All business houses have been closed and it has been diflleult to get food. The whole available police force has been on duty constantly, but there has been little disturbance. Almost the whole population is gathered in the center of tho city. Probably 100,000 persons have left the city. Kailroad transportation to the suburbs is free. The government is feeding the poor. Great crowds collected on the hills with the expectation of witnessing a battle between the two'foroes.

GUNS DO NOT GO.

The Court liar* Then) from the 1'rj]hirilHrecklnrUlge Trial. WASHINGTON', March 14.—At the opening of court in the Pollard-Breck-inridge trial Wednesday Judge Bradley decidedjthat as the face-slapping incident occurred outside the courtroom and after adjournment he had no jurisdiction in the matter. He at the snme time stated he had heard some of the counsel were earring weapons, and cautioned them that this was a lawabiding community and such a proceeding would not be tolerated.

Kach of the attorneys for the defendant declares that he was not armed, and Mr. Carlisle, attorney for the plaintiff, said he wished it understood that the Information had not come from any of the plaintiff's counsel, to which Judge Bradley assented, remarking that it had been made to him by reputable parties.

The belligerent episode having thus been closed. Attorney Stoll, for the defense, asked to be permitted to make an argumeut in support of his motion to suppress the depositions taken the day before the trial.

The judge excluded the depositions on the ground that they did not conform to the law that they must either be written by deponent or by the notary before whom they were taken, and that thev were written afterward by a typewriter. An exception to the ruling was taken for the plaintiff.

Another deposition, that of Mrs. Mary Logan, taken before Notary Lowry Jackson in "Cincinnati, was offered for the plaintiff and objected to by the defendant. In the argument following it developed that this testimony was concerning the birth of Miss Pollard's first child. It was admitted by the court.

The taking of depositions occupied two hours and proved so prosy that by the time it was conclnded there were but few spectators left in the courtroom. The attorneys «for Miss Pollard are not deoided whether or not she shall be put upon the witness stand. Her nervous condition is such that she might not be able to endure the ordeal.

At the afternoon session Sister Cecelia, of the order of sisters of charity of Cincinnati, took the witness stand. Before anything of importance could be elicited from the witness a wrangle ensued with reference to the udmlssion of some of her evidence, and court adjourned before a decision was readied.

THE HAWAIIAN

TREATY,

t. Proposed Ab-

•senatorial Opposition to rogation. WASHINGTON, March 14.—Indications point to a spirited debate in the senate over the clause in the seuate tariff bill inserted by the finance committee, providing for the abrogation of the Hawaiian reciprocity treaty of and the subject is already beginning to attract attention on both sides of the clumber. This treaty provides for a general exchange of the products of the two countries .free of duty and includes sugar as the principal Hawaiian export to this country, the United States in turn being per mitted to export agricultural implements and other machinery and manufactures to Hawaii without the payment of duty. It also contains a provision that no other foreign government than this shall acquire title to any port or harbor in the Hawaiian islands. It is believed the republican party in the senate will be almost solid in its opposition.

Vansar GlrU Converted.

NEW YORK, March 14.—As a result of addresses to the pupils of Vassar college by Mrs. Balllngton Booth, head of the Salvation Army in America, and Adjutant Edith Marshal!, fifteen young women students have been enrolled as members of the Salvation Army Auxlliary league. The new members of I the league are daughters of wealthy and aristocratic families of New York,

WIPE our THE tonus. March 14.—In the house of Tuesday Mr. Henry Laproposed as an amendment to

the address In reply to the queen's speech the abolition of the house of lords. After some discussion aud considerable excitement th» amendment was put to a vote and was passed, 147 to 14/i, in spite of the opposition of tho government* When the figures were announced they caused an outburst of prolonged cheering, which was renewed when the deputy speaker read the address in reply to the queen's speech with Mr. Labouohere's amendment attached to it. The division on the amendment occurred oarlicr than was expected, and many of the conservatives were at. dinner. Tho majority was composed of seventy-three McCarthyiteB and I'arnellites, the remainder being radicals. The cheering which followed the announcement of the result lasted fully a minute. Some of the members acted in the most frantic manner. The waving of handkerchiefs and hats continued until the deputy speaker left the chair for a short interval.

Talk of ltcMignutiou.

The result of tho division ou Mr. Labouchere's amendment partook of the nature of a surprise, not only to the government, but to many of those who hud voted in favor of the amendment. Several of the latter avowed that their object in supporting the amendment was merely ^o give a good division against the house of lords. They declare that they had no idea that there was any prospect of the amendment being carried. It was in fact a Jump in the dark and a bringing up at a place at which they did not expect to arrive. The action that will be taken by the government in view of the defeat inflicted upon it by its whilom supporters is a matter of conjecture. The prospect of the resignation of the cabinet was a general topic, in the lobbies of the house of commons Tuesday evening. is expected that the cabinet will meet to-day to discuss the matter.

What the. outcome of this victory will be cannot be safely prophesied. Sensationalists talk of the cabinet resigning and a general turn overoof linglish politics, while the more conservative classes maintain that the amendment being passed at a time when the government forces were absent, it will amount to nothing more than a nine-day wonder. It Is, however, generally conceded that the Kosebery administration haa been ushered in in a manner not to be desired or applauded. Editorially the morning

A manifesto issued by tin Reform union suys that it is hope that popular reforms can ho achieved even by a liberal government unless the powers and privileges of the house of lords, "which enables a selfish and irresponsible clique to frustjite and mutilate such measures," be curtailed or abolished. The National Reform union therefore calls for determined efforts to establish selfgovernment of the British people upon a trill}' democratic basis and by the abolition of the house of lords.

ASKI.NO roit HA IONS.

LOS ANOKLKS, Cal., March 14. —(ien. Coxev's industrial army movement is causing considerable of a sensation here. Over 800 of the unemployed organized a regiment several weeks ago and expect to join their comrades from the western states in the march to Washington. They seut. a delegation to the city council to obtain railroad transportation from Los Angeles to Washington.

4,(.«eu,"

Frye, commander of the army,

has sent a uotice of the proposed movement to Secretary of War Lamout, and inclosed its constitution and by-laws. A demand was made that Lamontorder rations to the army from various posts and provide transportation, 'lieu." Frye says that the army will number 8,000,000 by the time it reaches Washington, and iutimates that it will be jnst as well to accede to the requests.

Will Not Ho Jbkiied.

WASHINGTON, March 14.—Tho war department officials have had 110 request for rations from any one connected with the Industrial league, which organization ii said to be contemplating a raid in force on Washington, and it may be safely predicted that uo such requisition is likely to be honored. The aruiy officers do not relish the threat that tho capital is to be overrun by a horde, of unemployed and hungry people, as it would add greatly to the burdens of tlia relief organizations here. Touching tlie implied threat of trouble and disturbance in store fov tlie town if these extraordinary demands of the fomenters of this movement are not granted the army officers have no auxiety. Ever since the riots here in the '70s the war department has realized tho importance of having at hand a sufficient force to meet any emergency likely to arise and they have little fear of trouble.

Alarm In Ohio.

MABBILLON, O., March 14. —Intense excitement prevails throughout this portion of Ohio over the revolutionary movement being organized by Coxey, tlie fanatical populist agitator. Coxey has been industriously at work for many weeks enlistiug in his project tramps, malcontents, bums and the lawless element generally from all over the country. The result is that thousands of this character are now en route to this point. At first Cojtey's threats were regarded as idiu vaporings and were lightly treated by the press and public generally. But the movement has begun to assume a decidedly serious aspect, and on every hand fears are expressed that a real danger is at hand and should be met and suppressed at once. ilecrulta Arreted.

SAN ANTONIO,. Tex., .March 14.—An east-bound freight train of the Southern Pacific was captured by thirty tramps west of Marfa, who were on the way to join Gen. Coxey's forces. When ordered to leave the train by the conductor tlie men refused to do so and became very insolent- The sheriff of Preside) county was informed of the situation by telegraph and was asked to afford the train protection. When the train arrived at Marfa the sheriff and a large posse met it and placed all of tho tramps under arrest.

Going to Join tho Ariuy.

NEW CASTI.H, Pa., Marcli 14. —The railroad men at New Castle Junction, miles south of here, say that almost every freight train that passes over the four roads centering there have from one to half a dozen men on it who claim to be on their way to join Coxey's army nt Massillou. Monday night one of the yard men at the junction counted twenty-eight men 011 trains going through, all of whom said they were on their way to the army of peace.
