TROUBLE IN BRAZIL

Sailors Mutiny and Seize Warships Is the Report. News received in London states that the crews of the Brazilian warships - at Rio De Janeiro have mutinied and are bombarding the city. It adds that all the English engineers are safe. The dispatch, which gives no details, w r as sent to reassure the friends of about fifty Barrow engineers, who took the warships Sao Paola and Minus Geraes to Brazil. A Brazilian merchant in London has received a telegram from an official Brazilian source that the disturbance fe of small dimensions and that it is due to the sailors' discontent with their pay. The merchant knows nothing of any bombardment. A private telegram frpm Rio De Janeiro which has reached London states, in effect, that business in the Brazilian capital had completely stopped. The situation is described as critical, buk, negotiations are going .on between the rival parties. The telegram refers vaguely to naval movements that are progressing. Information from other private ’ sources indicates that the trouble is a mutiny of the fleet, and that the of- . fleers and crews are, in possession of the ‘ships. The Brazilian legation here says that the crew' of only one battleship are mutinous. It is added that it is pon-political and the city is not disturbed. - A • - ' ——r—
