out Sunday in the Sagadohock House
stables. A large portion of the business
portion of the city was gutted, about 20
buildings being destroyed. The firo
spread so rapidly the department was
wholly unable to cope with it. Calls for
assistance sent to Portland and Lewiston
brought steamers, and two hand-engines
were sent from Brunswick. The water

done. The fire communicated to . the
hotel from the stables and the house,

quickly gutted. The adjoining buildings
were soon in flames and before the, fire
could be controlled $500,000 worth of
property was burned.

tests that American vessels entering and
leaving the harbor were not afforded
proper protection by the rebel fleet, Admir
al Benham made a demonstration with the
American vessels under his command
which has taught a much-needed lesson
to the belligerents on both aides, and
which will undoubtedly have the effect
hereafter of securing proper recognition
of the rights of vessels under the Amer
ican flag.
In the events that transpired the for
eign colony was particularly interested,
and the action of Admiral Benham will
probably furnish a precedent by which
the commanders of other foreign vessels
in this port will be guided in the future.
The cause of all the trouble was the
treatment which three American barks
were sumect to on last Saturday bv in
discriminate fusilades from the warships.
While lying at anchor all three vessels
were endangered by the chance shots
fired by the insurgents. The bullets
wliistled through the rigging and passed
the men at work upon the decks. Many
of the crews of the three vessels narrow
ly escaped.
The three captains appealed for pro
tection to Admiral Benham. They also
requested an escort to the wharves.
Would Not Tnko Any Notlco of It.
Admiral Benham promised lie would
do everything in his power to afford
them the fullest protection. He said,
however, that before making any display
of force on the part of his fleet, ho thought
it only right to first notify the insurgent
admiral of the captains' complaints. Ac
cordingly Benham sent one of his officers
to the Aquidaban with orders to acquaint
Admiral da Gama with the facts in the
case and to ask him to have an end put to
the reckless gunning. When the Ameri
can officer had finished his statement Da
Gama said in a very sharp tone: "It is
not my fault. The American captains
should know enough to keep themselves
and their crews out of the range of our
guns. I shall not take any notice of this
matter."

Shortly after da3break Monday morn
incr the decks of the flagship New York
and the San Francisco, Detroit and other
United Stales war vessels hero were
cleared for action and their anchors
were raised.
Admiral Benham then sent-word to the
captains of the threo American ships
that he was prepared to keep his promise
to them, and that as soon as they were
ready to proceed he would escort them to
the wharves. At this moment two of the
captains weakened and said they did not
care to embitter trie insurgent admiral by
putting themselves under the escort of
the United States naval fleet. The third
captain, Mr. Blackburn of the Amy,
however, announced ho would get ready
at once and accept the protection of Ad
miral Benham.
Accordingly the Amy look hr position
in tho ranks of the United States war
vessels and the formidable procession
started on its way up Rio harbor.
The news that something important
was takpig place on board the American
warships spread rapidly both on shore
and on Imard the ships of all foreign gov
enunents represented at this point. The
streets fronting the bay were crowded
with people, and every vessel in the har

The Detroit took tho leading part in the
procession. The fleet, as it approached
nearer to Rio, came quite close to the
shore, causing great excitement among

and the sailors on board tho various ves
sels. The Amy proceeded on her way to the
wharf and was safely moored. Not un

satisfied did his powerful escort leave

Throughout the whole affair, not a shot

London, Jan. 30. Dispatches received
here from Rio de Janeiro, dated Jan. 30.
says that at 10 a. m. Admiral da Gama,
having opened fire upon one of the Amer
ican ships, a sharp engagement followed
with tho result that Admiral da Gama
surrendered.
Bcknos Ayp.es, Jan. 30. It is reportP'J
her! that the situation of affairs at Rio
de Janeiro is now critical. Heavy firing
ia now reported and it is said that tht
United States war vessels have been en
gaged, with the result that Admiral da
CJyna is said, by one report, to have sur
ronded and by another report to h:r.v
withdrawn his ships from tho immediate
neighborhood of the city of Rio.
Thctfo Hcnsatioual reports are not as
yet confirmed, but there seems to be no
doubt that serious events are happening
at Rio and that the American admiral
has taken energetic steps to protect
American interests.
As this dispatch is leiug sent a report
reaches here that Admiral da G;ima is a
prisoner in the hands of President Pcix-
oto. It ls also rumored that -the insur
gent man-of-war fired upon the Amer
ican fleet and that the latter returned the
hots.
Thinks the News Is Correct.
JLiONDON, Jan. su. iiie linizilian min
ister hero, upon being informed of tho
contents of the dispatch received by the
Rothschilds and of tho other dispatch
Baying that an engagement had bevn
taken place between the United States
warships and the insurgents and that
Admiral de Gama had surrendered, said
that he had no doubt that the news wa.3
true. He added that Admiral de Mollo
now only had command of the Republica
and that tho final collapse of the revolt is
only a question of a few clays.
In conclusion tho Brazilian minister said
that from the source from winch the nows
was received from Rio regarding the sur
render of Admiral da Gam::, there
cannot be the slightest question as to its
truth, although no official confirmation
has reached him.
A high official of the British foreign
office, who was questioned by the Asso
ciated Press reporter as to the accuracy
of the dispatches received from Rio an
nouncing the surrender of Admiral da
Garna, repressed the. opinion tiat it
might be true that the rebel admiral had
surrendered to the United States ad
miral, as it would le the easiest way out
of a great difficulty. In conclusion, the
foreign official said he did not know
what the United States admiral would
do with Admiral da Gama and the in
surgents who surrendered with him.
Admiral Benham. he added, could not
very well surrender tho insurgents to
President Peixoto. who would undoubt
edly shoot them, and it was hardly prob
able that tho United States government
would care to assume the care of a mass
of Brazilian insurgents for an indefinite
period. Thus the admiral would seem
to have an elephant on his hands.

question came promme-ntlv before the
senate again Wednesday and after an
hour's brisk discussion went over for a
day. The result of the delwte was to
show there is :t division in both party
rauks on the wisdom of :u!opting the
resolution reported by the foreign rela
tion commit tee. Senator Vest objected
to it on the ground that it indicated the
project for ann"xatioa might be more
favorably received in the future.

debate upon the internal revenue features
of the tariff bill was entered upon Mon

who announced his unalterable opposition
to the entire hill. beeanH, in his opinion,
it was framed to eomp--l the incopora
tion of a new t ;x. Jtessrs. McMillin
(Tenn.; and Hall (Ivan.) ably presented
the arguments iu fnvor of the imposition
of such a tux. MeMillin was followed
by Representative Ray (Rnp.. X. Y.),
who opened the debate for the Republi
cans in opposition to the income tux.
Washington, Jan. 2!. The Hawaiian
controversy and the f, derai ( lection bill
occupied the time of the senate Monday.

annexation of Hawaii. The Hawaiian
resolution went over and will doubtless
be again discussed at much length leforo
a vote is reach. Senator Hoar (Rep..

pensicniers the right to appeal t!Hr cases
to the United States court of their dis
trict after giving due r.et:ce of such in
tention to the commissioner of iensions.

doubt that the corrttKnleuee whfcB "
being carried on between hf state aa: !

resentative at Rio de Janeiro is of
ture which indicates 'that the relation
in Rio tie Janeiro twiy arc ix' 'tuning aoi
and more strained, and that a crisfe
fast approach! ng-if not. indeed, alrcad
at hand. Officials of the .stat.' and nav
department, although thi'y are very reti
cent in regartl to the matter, athott
enough to make this information certain.
Secretary Giv&ham was seen and gave
out the following stattin-.nt: "The
American admiral has no instructions to
act in the capacity of mediator between
the government of Brazil and the insur
gents,. It is not beljeved her tfegtJto Ij.
rating in any such cnimeity. It x colli
sion has occurred hi the bay between cmar
warships and the insurgent warships w

The secretary added that it wm quite
likely that a crisis was imminent and
that news might be expected ait a:iy
time.
