Neves of the Minas Geraes. had been dining on the French warship Duguay Trouin and returned to his ship at about 10 o’clock. As he boarded her a great uproar broke out and rifles were fired. This was the first intimation of a mutiny. Capt Neves, two other officers and a few sailors resisted the mutineers,- but they were killed. Another offices was mortally wounded. The crew shouted. “Long live liberty." immediately thereafter the crew of the scoutship Bahia mutinied and all her officers were put ashore. First Class Seaman Candido took cominand of the ship. The ships were plentifully supplied with ammunition. Provisions were seized as was also coal from the private dock on Vianna Island. Barges carrying coal to the French steamer Atlantique and the British steamer Oronsa were captured by the mutineers The mutinous crews immediately radiographed to President De Fonseca and demanded the abolition of corporal punishment, more pay in accordance with a bill recently submitted to the congress and less work, having had long hours owing to the ships being short handed. They threatened that if their demands were refused, they would bombard the city and the other Brazilian warships in the harbor The government did not reply, and after an interval a bombardment began and was kept up off and on throughout the night, causing consternation among the inhabitants, who were bewildered by the suddenness of events. The mutinous ships, flying red flags, then began evolutions in the bay La’er the Minas Geraes. Sao Paulo Bahai and the battleship Florfano, which had joined the, mutineers crossed the bar and opened fire on the forts, which did not reply A crowd of sightseers gathered on the heights and expressed wonderment at the dexterity with which the huge iron Clads were handled. It was difficult to believe that thcie was not a single officer aboard.'* As soon as they were over the bar, the mutineers put about and re-entered the bay, taking positions which com manded the city and filing at various points. One shell of small calibre penetrated a house on Castello hill in the center of the city Two chil dren in the streets were killed The naval arsenal formed a special target for the mutineers

A boat flying a white flag hailed the Sao Paulo and an envov boarded her He was a retired naval officer of the name of Carvalho who is also a member of the chd?hber of deputies He parleyed with the mutineers and then returned and gave a report to tie chamber, which unanimously declared that it supported the government Senhor Carva’ho then reboarded the Sao Paulo to state the terms on which the goverrment would accept the surrender of the mutineers The latter told him that they would not surrender until the national congress had vctcc a general amnesty They then eteamed out of rarge of the torpedo boat destroyers, as they bad done previously The Duguay Trouin steamed out of the bay and as she passed the Monas Geraes, the band on the latter played t|e Marseillaise, while the crew cheered the French warship, which has returned because radiographic communication with the shore had ceased. The British minister protested against the idea of torpedoing the mutineers, because there were British subjects aboard of them. The fourth cruiser squadron, now at Montevidio, has been ordered to come to Rio De Janeiro immediately. . The Portuguese cruiser Adamastor has postponed her departure in consequence of the Situation. The mutineers have radiographed the government, declaring their willingness to surrender. They also sent greetings to President De Fonseca, adding that
