At a late hour the following details from the. official advices of th s Navy department are learned concern ing the incidents on the 2 < Jth at Kio de Janeiro : Previous to the 29th Admiral Benham had communicated with Admiral da Gama , warning him against firing upon American ships and refusing to allow the in surgent commander's excuse that he had given warning concerning where the danger line was. The commanders of the American ships having signified their deslro to go to the wharves on the morning of the 2Sth , the nlmiral sent word that ho would convoy them. Ho also sent word to Admiral da Gama to that effect. fired an tlio Fine. Two ships wcro convoyed to the wharves by the Detroit , the insurgents warships fol lowing them. When nearly at the wharf , while a tug was taking a cable ashore , the- insurgent warships opened fire , sending a Tolley of-muskot shot under the bow of the tug. The Detroit answered with a warning ' shot , and the insurgent ship then sent a shot over the Detroit. The Detroit in reply sent n shell * vhich reached a portion of the stern of the Insurgent ship , doing llttlo damage. Annvcrcil by n Shot from the Detroit. The insurgent commander then fired in warning a broadside to leeward In the oppo site direction from which the Detroit lay. This was answered by another shot from the Detroit. The insurgents signaled that unless the Detroit ceased firing , they ( the insurgents ) would sink the American ship. The language which was used by the American admiral in answer to this was of such a nature that the incident closed for that duy and tno ships were allowed to land. Think Dn Uama linn Surrendered. The names of the ships which were lauded nro not given m the official dispatch from Hlo. The question raised in the dispatches this afternoon ns to what the United States government would do with da Gama ami his forces If ho has surrendered to Admiral Bonham , is exciting considerable interest in official circles here. The statement that ho may have so surrendered is credited. It Is supposed that If ho surrendered ho did so with some assurances or promises from the American admiral. Officials nre wondering what promises may have been made and whether or not Admiral Benham may have promised too much. Admiral da Gnma , It is said , has violated none of the laws of thu United StnTcs , and ho could not bo turned over to the Brazilian government. Tre.il Tliciii I'lrnti's. Senator Shcrmau. the senior republican of the senate committee of foreign relations , expressed great interest In the Bra zilian news brought by the Associ ated pros * bulletins. Being requested to express an opinion as to what course Atas probable In view of the circumstances on the part of the government , ho said : "As Admiral da Gama Is ut the head of a baud qf Insurgents and represents no or ganized government. It will not be ucccs sary to declare war at all. but ho and his followers can bo treated ns pirates. " 1 don't court war , " continued the S6na- tor , "but when we got into It , I am for fightIng - Ing It out. " Senator Quay exclaimed : A war on and no money In the treasury ! " and added , ' 'Wo shall have to protect our interests In Brazilian waters , nt any r.ito. " ' 'I hope , " said Senator Cullom , "that the American warship will knock them into the deep blue sea. " Cniillitrnco Iti lienlmm. Upon reading thn dispatches Senator Gray of the torciin relations committee said ! " 1 hnvo ereat confidence in Benham and his discretion und his nerve. Ho is n man who has Impressed mo most favorably. Ho has a strong and yet n kind face , nnd reminds of Furragut. I am glad ho is thcro ns 1 run sura ho will protect S American quarters there.

It to wportoJ huro that the situation of affairs nl Hto do Janeiro is most critical. Heavy firing is reported nnd It U said that the United Stutcs war vessels have been engaged with the result that Admiral Da Gnma is snld , by ono report , to have sur rendered , and according to another report , to have withdrawn his ships from the imme diate neighborhood of the city of Hlo. These sensational reports are not yet con firmed , hut thcro seems to bo no doubt that serious events are happening at Hio , and that the American admiral has taken ener getic steps to protect American interests. As this dispatch is being sent off n report reaches hero that Admiral dn Gama is a prisoner In the hands of President 1'eixoto. It is nlso rumored that the Insurgent man-of- war Aquldaban fired upon the American licet and that the latter returned the shots. Loxtiox , Jan. ! ! 0. The Itothscnllct banking house has received a dispatch from Hto de Janeiro saying that Admiral da Gama has surrendered. Other dispatches from Rio , dated today , ssj that at 11 o'clock this morning Admiral da Gama having opened fire upon one of the American ships a sharp engagement fol lowed with the result that Admiral da Garan surrendered. The Brazilian minister hero , upon being Informed of the. contents of these dispatches , said that he had no doubt that the news was true. Ho added that Admiral de Mello now only hnd command of the Hcpubllca nnd that the final collapse of the revolt is only a question of a few days. In conclusion the Brazilian minister said that from the source from which the report was received from Hlo regarding the surren der of Admiral da Gama , there cannot be the slighcst question as to Its truth , though no official confirmation had reached him. r.niy Uuy Out ol Ills Dllllcllltr- A high official of the British foreign office , who was questioned by the Associated press reporter as to the accuracy of the dis patches , expressed the opinion that It might be true that the rebel admiral had sur rendered to the United States admiral , as it would be the easiest way out of a great difficulty. In conclusion , the forelen official said he did not know what the United States admiral wouKl do with Admiral da Gama and the insurgents who surrendered with him. Admiral Benham , ho added , could not very well surrender the insurgents to Presi dent Pclxoto. who would undoubtedly shoot them , nnd it wns hardly probable that the United States government would care to as sume the care of a mass of Brazilian insur gents for an indefinite period. This accord ing to the representative of the foreign office , if it was true that the insurgents hud surrendered to the United States admiral , the latter would seem to have au elephant on HIS hands. Baron Hothschlld , upon being questioned by the Associated press reporter as to the source from which he had received the dis patch announcing the surrender of Admiral da Gama , bald that the cable message cntne to him from what ho considered a most reliable source and that he had no reason to doubt its accuracy.

The following statement has been made to the Associated press correspondent by Admiral Benham , commander of the United States fleet in that harbor : ' The insurgent forces on Cooras island last Friday fired upon a ship flying the United States flag. I protested to Admira Saldnnha da Gama against this action , and his responsewasthathchnd warned thccom- mauder of the ship when it was at the bar at Hib do Janeiro as to the whereabouts of the danger line. I ordered Admiral do Gama to cease the firing. Both the guns on the Island of Cobras and the insurgent warship Trajano opened fire Saturday upon the bark Agate , hailing from Now York. I warned Admiral da Gama at once that if the tire was repeated I would fire back. I also warned htm. that if ho touched nn American ship or American goods I would consider him a pirate. I told him I would protect American property from the lire of his guns , and that I should retaliate upon him for any damage done , unless It was entirely ap parent that the damage was due to chance shots. " Huil ( ilvoti Him AVnrnliic. Admiral Bonham Kays ho notified dn Gama unofficially that firing by the insurgents upon the wharves for the purpose merely of creating terror and to prolong n blockade would not bo permitted SD far ns Americans and American vessels wcro concerned. To this communication the insurgent admiral made no answer. The captains of three American vessel's , Admiral Benham continues , intimated that they wanted to go to the wlinrvos and the American admiral notified Admiral da Gama that it wns his intention to convoy them nt sunrise on Man day. Fearlntr trouble Admiral Benham ordered that the vessels of hi ; licet bo cleared for action. The throe ships referred to were the Amy. the Good News and the Julia Rollins. The captains of two ol the shins weakened and failed to cbnio into the harbor. The Amy was thooiily ono that ventured In und she was escorted by the United States eruis > cr Detroit. AS n precaution against any pos sible aggressive action on the part of the insurgents , the cruisers New York , Charles ton und Newark were ns3iuc.l to watch the actions of dn Oama's bhlp , Aquidnban , while thu Detroit and San Francisco were signalled to taka positions near tlio Trajano and the Guatmbara. lUTcctlvn I'rerHitllun * . These precautions certainly proved effect ive , and the insurgents , in facoof the formid able array of American vessels , made but the feeblest attempt to hinder the Amy's progress to her wharf. No guns were opened upon her by da Gama's vessels niul , as n matter of course , the American vessels did not fire on the in surgent ships. The insurgents , protest consisted of this : As the Amy got abreast of the G'lanabani , u marina on thu last numud vessel aimed n musket nt her and ilrcd. Two muskiit shots wore tlrud nt the Gianabara anil lite Ti-a- Janofroro the Ami's escort , the Detroit , in return. Thie was all the firing done during the Amy's trip , and it wns enough. All ouposi- lion ceased at once and the use of heavy nuns was not consMomi necessary nt any time. The rc.-sons the other t-.vo ships which had mulled Admiral Benham they wished to go to their wharves fulled to do so , is that their commanders were persuaded from en tering the harbor by u man of the name of liolllns , who Is bolleviM to bo the ayuni of nn KnglUh firm which hut been furnishing the rebels money.

PiTTsnrno , Jan. 30. Hoports from nil points In the regions about Mansfield to Slier- iff Richards up to 1 p. m. show no further trouble , and the sheriff Is confident it Is over. A inrgo numbr of persons reported to him , but ho informed them no moro deputies were needed. A dispatch received this afternoon from Mansfield says the miners employed at tlio .Moon Hun minein Robinson Tipple struck for 71) ) cents this morning. No deputies have been ordered there .vet. About 150 uion quit work. MASTIDM ) , Pa. , Jan. .10. A bitter cold wave which struck this valley is probably as much responsible ns the activity of the deputies for the quietness of the riotously Inclined miners. It is certain that last niirht was absolutely tree from disorder along the Brldgovillo , Miller's Kun , Tarn's Hun nnd Panhindle lines. The shivering deputies patrolling all night did not ace a s > ingle man who seemed by his action to have any hos tile intentions against the tipples. The mob which assembled back of thoHldgeway mine yesterday afternoon got word that the deputies were watching them , and like magic disappeared. Another crowd was seen above MuDjnaUl , but this morning even their foot-tracks had been obi iterated by the snow. Chief Daputy Sheriff Lowry made an early tourof the works up the Lake Erie lines ami especially in the Tom's Hun district. Ho wired back that there wcro a number of men at work in the mines and confidence had been generally restored. An oocrator said that the presenceof the deputies was having a wonderful salutary effect upon the foreigners. Had they been in uniform , though , the effect would have been greater. There is little doubt , however , that there still exist grounds for uneasiness from the very sullen silence of the men themselves. The fact that they show no disposition to return to work exhibits a spirit of dellancu which may result in lurthor disorder when the deputy sheriffs leave , and this causes some apprehension. The situation at pres ent is one of martial quietness , with ail the larger pits guarded by armed deputies , and with the prompt arrest of all who are claimed to act disorderly. To Keep Up DIP Guard" . Peace has been thoroughly established. The only further plan proposed is to main tain toe present forces and guard until their necessities force the alavs to return to work. 'Squire Muilin this morning gave a pre liminary hearing to the .Slavs arrested for rioting at Tom's Run. Of these four wcro discharged and twenty held for court. John Tomac and Andrew Stabalo. who were par ticularly violent in urglnir the mob to burn the tipples on Satw y , were arrcs > ted today and sent to jail to await trial at court. Three others , Adam Bauth , August Boozer , , and Frank Shaver , said.to.be ringlcaderajjin * the riot , " have also been arrested and placed in Jail. Tnesa men are charged with riot and arson. All the others were arrested on warrants charging them with unlawful assembling. Tnere is only ono opinion among the lead ing residents of Mansfield about the policy of bringing in foreign miners and that opinion is decidedly adverse. The peonlo of the town nro also desirousjjf scqing efforts made to crush the anarchist- displays in which these foolish foreigners occasionally indulge. "I am sure that there nro anarchists in this vicinity among the foreign miners , " said Justice McMillon. "We have had evidence of anarchy. Dynamite is stolen at various times and discovered in abandoned mines. Several attempts have been made to blow up houses in mining sections. At Bowers there is a regular hot-bed of anarchy. In the summer the miners have held picnics ; it which they display the red Hag and drape the dancing platform in red.

It Is the intention of the Allegheny county authorities to inako short work of the Mans- lleld coal region rioters. The thirty-nine men arrested yesterday and today arc now in Jail here and wore given hearings m the Jail this afternoon on the charge of unlawful assembly. The cases were taken to the grand jury and ten minutes later true bills wcro tound against the entire party. It is possible the cases will bo called In court this week anil rail roaded through.

The application of the Knights of Labor r.sscrtcd that the mombsrs of the organiza tion ns citizens and tax payers have a right to the injunction. Should the bonds bo issued the interest would practically amount to a tax of about $1 a head in the country , thereby re sulting In nn outlay of about MW.ODO for the Knights of Labor , according to the applica tion tiled yesterday. In reply to this Judge Cox lays it down : "Now , there never was a per capita tax in this country. No law now in force requires the payment of a direct tax , though there was one in ISlOnnd another in 1S01. Should such n tax exist the complainants have not shown that they are property holders. They have no standing In ' the court n.s taxpayers nnd no legal right in the question ns to the bond issue. The claim that the interest ! of the organization arc different from the general public nnd would suffer more than any other class , re ferring to the claim that many Knights were minors by the issue , is a grievance of discrimination , but it gives no standing in Judicial proceedings. Consequently , as tax payers , if they arc minors the complainants have no stindlng In court.1 Judge Cox then reviewed the laws blaring on the question and declared it was un necessary to enter into a discussion of the richts of the secretary to maku the issue. "Tho secretary , " ho said , had legal authority to redeem noles when presented and the right to sell bonds when ncccssarv. " Secretary McGuire of the Knights will appeal to the district court ot appeals , and from there , eventually , the case may go to the supreme court. The arguments wcro all put in yester day. The applicants for the injunction were represented by Senator Allen , populist , of Nebraska. Judge Jero Wilson , C. C. Cole of DCS Moines ana J. W.

Today the cabinet met , and on such days the secretary does not see any visitors , but devotes his time exclusively to the con sideration of the work of the department. The secretary declined to talk for pub lication on the results of his trip to New York. It was officially stated that the statement attributed to the secretary while in New York , that if the subscriptions run to t > 75.000,000 ho in tended to sell that many bonds is Incorrect. It.is said that if the secretary had -wanted that amount he would have so stated in his circular.

Two telegrams were received by Secretary Carlisle this afternoon from Now York , informing him that subscriptions to the amount of $30,000- 000 would bo made for the 5 per cent ten- year bonds which the secretary Is to issue oa February 1. Tbe first of the two telegrams announced $20,000,000 in bonds would bo taken and the second * message made an offer to take 810,000,000. This information was very gratlf.vitiff to Secretary Carlisle and other oftlcials. It is attributed to tha secretary's conference nt Now York with the bankers , during which ho pointed out the legality of his authority to issue the bonds. The secretary said this afternoon tint ho hnd no doubt the entire issue of ? " > ( > ,000.000 would Do flouted nt the fixed price of 117.2-3 and upwards. Although information of the offers as to amounts heretofore received have been with held , it is certain from guarded statements that were made at the Treasury department that they aggregate a considerable sum. Will Accept the Highest Ilnls. It was announced this afternoon , on behalf of the secretary , that in acting on the Jim of the offers to take bonds ho would lirst accept those at the highest prices above the prices proffered in the circular. The allotments of the bonds among those making lower bids at similar figures will take place when the bids offcnug inn high est prices have been disposed of. In regard to the published statement that they would sell $75,000,000 worth of bonds If that amount wore subscribed for , an official , speaking au- thoritutivBly on th subject , saiu the secre tary would sell only f50.000.000 in bonds.i In view of vho doubt existing In some quarters as to the right of the treasury to use the money derived from the sale of the bonds for the current expenses of the gov ernment , the question was asked today whether the secretary would have the legal advise of tliu department of justice on the mattei. It scorns no steps having this ob ject in view are likely to be taken , : m the sec retary already considers ho has the au thority to use the money as stated , CarlHIu Mitipoenae-.l. United States Marshal Wilson called upon Secretary Carlisle today to serve a subnoma obtained In behalf of the Knights of Labor from the supreme court of the district , citing the secretary to appear before the court to nnawcr to n bill previously tiled , ask ing that ho be enjoined from Issuing United States bonds as proposed bv him.

As a consequence there necessarily results inflated valuations , which but help to still further deceive the already deluded public depositors and con fuse the courts charged with tlio winding-up of their affairs. ' We would earnestly recommend to the honorable Judges of the circuit court that all future appraisers be strictly required and compelled to make such n careful and actual appraisement as the Inw contem- pl'itcs , and not inflated and airy estimates , to the end that the courts may bo properly aided nnd informed in adjusting the affairs of such institutions , and so that unfortunate depositors may not continue to ba misled by false and delusive hopes ot rcalizinc from worthless assts.

WASHINGTONJan. . ! W. The senate ha § finally mimed the day when the final vote ti to bo taken on the bill repealing the federal elections law. After another long collonuy todny between Senators Gray and Chandler thu republicans consented that general debate - bate on the measure should close next Tues day at I p. in. After that hour amendments may be presented and passed upon , but the final vote must be taken before the adjourn * incut of the senate on that day. The bond question cauio up aaln in the senate toJav , and after along debate went over by unanimous consent uutil'tomorrow. The significant , feature of the discussion > vas the firm stand taken byScnitor Sherman in favor of the authority of Secretary Car lisle to issue the bonds. The gold reserve ho declared to be a fund which should bj preserved Inviolate , and ho thought it even mandatory , rather than diserettonurv , with the secretary to sell nt least suniciant bonds to restore the gold reserve. Senator Washburn nf Minnesota presented a petition of 0,000 citizens of St. Louis county , Minnesota , protesting against put- ling iron ore on the free lUt. The resolution of Senator Stewart of Ne > vnda declaring the proposed issue of bond ] to bo without authority of law was taken up , and Mr. Stewart addressed the sonata in its favor. Shormati Defend * CarlMc , Senator Sherman followed Mr. Stewart and crlticlscJ severely the attack uiun the credit of the nation in the resolution pro posed bv Senator Stewart an 1 also in the speech of Senator Allen. llo said ho was surprised no ono hid risen to sustain the ad ministration in its aim to maintain the credit of the country. These nttaclss Just as the bonds were to.ba issued were serious , and It was apparent they would either pre vent Uio-salo of the b , ) ds or , if sold , com pel their sale at a greatly icduced rate of Interest. Senator. Sherman said , the secretary of the treasury had full authority to issue the bonds. "The secretary , " said IIP. "has full power to sell bonds to maintain the gold re serve. It is his duty to do so. This is tha first time In fifteen loug years that any one has denied that power. It never has been disputed before. It is almost unpatriotic to question tills power at a titno when the reve nues of the covernrr.ent nro insufficient to meet the expenditures. It is a question that should be above partisanship. I feel liUo standing up for the country and the power of the secretary. The authority to issiu bonds In such .1 contingency as has Just ; arisen was given by law in the strongest , clearest and most direct language that could be used. That law and the imvcr has stood unchallenged and uncontradlutcd from that day until a few du\s slnco , when resolu tions were introduced in this body d'jnyinjj the authority of the secretary of the treas. ury at u time when bids wcro about to bo is sued.1 He then proceeded to read In detail tbo provisions of the law on the subject in dis pute and argued the legitimate construction wns favorable nnd own mandatory of the power now about to bo exercised by thu secretary of the treasury. sciiiitor Onuy'.H Aincndmonr. At the conclusion of Senator Sherman's remarks Senator ( Juay introduced an amend ment to the resolution , the purport of which was a declaration that the secretary of the treasury had no power , "except to provldu for tin1 redemption of the kval tender note * of the United States presented at the sub- treasury at New York.
