government squadron under Admiral Gonzales -
zalos will bo abl'o to capture the insurgent ,
warships in port. To do this it is absolutely
Accessary to silence iVillegalguon and that
fortress was very badly used today.
An insurgent torpedo boat fired several
times Into the city today , and sharpshooters
replied from Gloria and Castle hills.

Later a launch from the foreign fleet was
Bent to Mello'9 Hag ship , and it was inti
mated to him that this act of the insurgents
was a violation of thoagreement entered
Into by the foreign powers. The firing at
the city was then stopped , at least tempo
rarily.
The insurgent fleet is now lying far away
from the ports and also far from Nicthoroy.
The insurgent batteries at Mccauguo con
tinue to bombard without mercy the villages
west of Nicthcroy proper. Several Houses
wcro set on flro by shells during the day.
Tno government forces continue to burn the
Insurgent warehouses at Armacoa. Pcixoto's
1 forces now occupy the top of the hill ana
have mortars planted 'there , and the arse
nals at tlio foot of the hill. Tlieso batteries
have again been shelling the rebel vessels
Javary and Guanabar.

Pelxoto's adherents declare tlio Insurgent
fleet guilty of piracy. They declare that
uoncombatants liavo been robbed by them
of many thousand bags nf coifeo and sugar
and of a great many other articles of mer-
chandisu that have been sold and traded.
Coal has also heon taken , some from foreign
warehouses. Bales of cotton and tobacco
liavo been exchanged for chickens , fruit and
bamls of flour. Many foreign engineers ,
firemen and seamen , they also declare , have
been pressed into the insurgent service.
John Carow ami other shippers of crows
have boon making , they allege , as well , a
regular buslne'ss of engaging seamen for the
insurgent fleet on a pretense of unloading
merchandise , vessels. Once hired , it is said ,
they openly join the insurecnts.

It is now given out that a number of the
onlccrs and sailors who wore blown up In the
great explosion of the insurgent powder
magartno on Friday had gene to Governor's
island for sand , with which to scrub the
decks of the English vessels. Poixoto's ad
herents ridicule this story. The English
nro ternoly sore over the affair. Lieutenant
Mowbray , one of the victims , was of a very
rich family and the handsome mess service
of the British flagship Slrlus belongs to his
family.
An eyewitness of the scene at Mlsercordia

tirst announced.

is not yet confirmed , but the report is gener

Ci03.LONDON
LONDON , Nov. 18. The news received hero
from Madrid to the effect that Admiral do
Mello lias proclaimed Prlnco Pedro emperor
of Brazil is much commented upon and con
firmation or denial of the report is anxiously
expected. The news , however , is generally
accepted as being correct. It comes here
from other sources in addition to the dis
patch from Madrid.
' The Exchange Telegraph company says
that after Admiral do Mello had proclaimed
Prlnco Pedro as emperor ho put to sea with
several of hU ships in order to intercept
President Poixoto's now transports , which
are conveying supplies of men , ammunition
mid provisions to tliooxistlng government at
Rio do Janeiro. It Is not believed , however ,
that the Insurgent admiral is certain or in
tercepting the transports , as the point of
debarkation of the munitions of war is be
lieved to have been kept a secret.
A letter Just received by a prominent Lon
don merchant says : jf do Mello is beaten
H will be a heavy blow to British prestige.
President Pelxoto is mad with rage at for
eigners , and especially against the British.
Do Mollo Is Inclined precisely the other way
nnd constant friendly communications are
going on between the French , Italian and
British war ships and Admiral do Mello ,
while the German and American coimnandcis
hold aloof. "
The B-azillan minister hero says that the
Comtcss d'Eu would have been empress
under the old law of succession , as she had
ttevernbdlcateil , and that Admiral do Mello's
proclamation Is void until she has done so.
The minister adds that ho has received no
news whatever concerning the reported
--ecl tn tlon of Prince. p dro as emperor.
Ho has received advices to the effect that
Admiral do M llo was to sail north today on
board the Aquidauan :
Slur on tlio United StntcM
The Westminster ( lazctto expresses the
opinion that Prlnco Pedro is on board Ad
miral Mcllo's fhg-shlp , nnd says ; "If iMcllo
can foi-co a landing and Join the insurgents ,
advancing from the south nnd selzo Ulo , the
icpublle willflzzlo inglonously. " The Ga
zette also thinks thai the Brazilians
favor the re-establishment of a monarchy ,
adding : "What will tlio United States say as
the republican protector of the continent ?
If Brazil sides with Prlnco Pedro , what can
Cleveland do after the mess made by his
predecessors in Chill ? Mr. Cleveland , how
ever llttlo Americans may like a monarchy
in the new world , will bo careful of the
Interests of tlio United States in Brazil ,
which arc commercial and not sentimental. "
The Brazilian minister also said that the
engines of the Aquidaban were not good and
that the warship was unseaworthy.
Shot by Order of I'clxoto.
A dispatch from Lisbon today says that a
messenger who has arrived there from Bra
zil announces that Scnor Jose Patrlnco , the
editor of a noivspaper , who has been contin
ually and strongly opposed to President
Peixoto , has bean shot by order of the presi
dent. The messenger adds that among the

Cable Special to Tun BEit.1 The World's '
Paris correspondent telegraphs tonight that
ho has just called on the count d'Eu , the
husband of Princess Isabella , daughter of
the late Dom Pedro , at the residence of his
father , the due do Nemours , at Boulogne , n
suburb of Paris. The count sent word in
reply to inquiries that ho had received no
word , that his son had been proclaimed em
peror of Brazil , except what ho had seen in
the newspapers , and that his son , Prlnco
Pedro , was now in Franco.
I have had u conversation with Baron
Blomo , who was at dinner with the count
d'Eu and family at the villa d'Arglcs , his
cousin , Count Joan Blame , being aide-de-
camp to Prlnco Pedro , who , it is reported ,
has just been proclaimed emperor of Brazil
by Admiral Mollo. The young prince in
tended to enter the Austrian army ana
Count Blomo was detailed by the Emneror
Francis Joseph to his service. During
August Count a'Eu was visited by two Bra
zilian gcnllemcn , ono Senor Monier , the
other generally understood to be a represen
tative admiral of the navjj It was also
common report among his intimates at the
time that the visit of thcso two men had in
view the planning of the rebellion which
has since broken out in ml that largo sums of
money were then supplied for the purchase
of munitions of war. The countess was the
moving spirit in all thcso negotiations , her
husband apparently taking little part in
them.
Only n I Joy.
Prlnco Pedro , although 18 years old , looks
much younger and showed no Interest In
public affairs. His loft hand has been crip
pled from birth. Ho is of medium height ,
well built , with a fresh complexion and a
hearty , boyish manner. At that time ho
was expected to enter in the autumn the
military school at x\Vlrer Noustadt , and ho
departed for Vienna in company witlrCount
Blomo in September last. The conversation
of the family was almost wholly on the ex
pectation of a speedy restoration ofthe em
pire in Brazil.

LONDON' , Nov. 18. [ Now York World
Cable Special to Tin : Bnn.1For the first
tlmo in many years , at least , a serious at
tack has been made on the credit and man
agement of the Bank of England. As the
World's dispatches stncO have shown , the
disclosures were so serious that the llnan-
ctal writers of the entire London pressfrom
the Times down , have not only discussed
them freely , but ha\o appealed to the di
rectors of the bank to make a full and exact
statement of all tlio facts. The directors
havo-notresponded asyot , but a seml-ofllcial
publication has boon made that the late
cashier , Frank May , has certainly
been guilty of grave irregularities
in the loans made to moribund
trust companies , but not of actual fraud. It
is said , also , on the same authority , that the
actual losses will not exceed 5100,000. But
ronowca attention lias been called to tlio
heavy losses sustained by the bank from
advances made in connection with tlio
Murriotta liquidation. On the other hand
it claims that considerable profit accrued
from the Baring brothers transactions.
Giiuscil n Drop in Shares.
The result of all this has marked down
the price of the bank shares 4 per cent in
the past few days. Today's quotations are
328 per 100 shares against i'33T last year.
No doubt is now felt but that the first
rumors , including these of complicity and
the resignations of two directors , uro much
exaggerated , and the price of the shares
has rallied in the past two days. ,
The disclosures have , however , resulted in
an agitation in influential circles for drastic
reform in the constitution of the bank , par
ticularly in the appointment of n permanent
chairman of recognised experience and at a
largo salary , in place of the system of elect
ing a governor from the directors in rota
tion every two years. .Tho directors now fill
all vacancies in their number , therefore the
directorate is a self-perpetuating body. The
governor is paid only $10,000 , n year , yet
must practically give up all other business.
No banker is eligible to the directory , and
lead ing merchants often decline election be
cause of the laterferc'nco that must hamper
their own business when time to serve as
governor comes around. The proposed re
form mvst como from 'tho directory , since
the government cannot appoint a governor or
chairman.
Wilt Kxpcno Spaculnton.
The recent developments will certainly
hasten a full disclosure of the affairs of the
Winchester House croup of trustees , which
has already been snown to have been en
gaged in the wildest speculations , result
ing in enormous losses. English trust com
panies are very different from American
companies called by that name. They re
ceive no deposits and are not subject to any
governmental supervision. Their losses fallen
on shareholders only and such banks as have
made advances on those becurities. These
companies underwrote the shams of various
brewery companies in the United States , on
which tbo losses have already been very
great and promise to bo larger still.

LONDON , Nov. 18. Mr. Joseph Chamber
lain was Interviewed today by an Associated
press correspondent with regard to his re
cent trip to the Uuitell States' ) Summing uu
the political situation , Mr. Chamberlain said
the Government was simply struggling to
obtain a favorable opportunity to dissolve.
Ho believed the repeal by congress of the
silver purchasing clause of the Sherman act
was In favor of the vlowa of the majority of
the American people. The main question
of Interest now with regard to the acts of
the United States congress was the nature
nnd extent of lunendhients to the tariff
monsuro which tlib democrats were pledged
to introduce. j
"I bellovo,1' ' saM M.J Chamberlain , "that
Mr. Cleveland Is absolutely honest nnd that
ho will courageously ml here to the princi
ples lain down Irt his election address , which
pointed In the direction of n reduction in
the merely protefctivo duties. At the same
time he is opposed by gigantic vested trade
interests , which were threatened by such n
reduction , and It is impossible for an out
sider to predict whether no will succeed.
For myself I do not anticipate a very great
reduction in the tariff , and- am still of the
opinion that the adoption bf free trade by
the United SUtta would not bo good for
British trado. "

Conference of tlio rnvtnoni.
The most important political event of the
week in Europe has bscn Count Kalnoky's
visit to King Ilubort of Italy at
Monza. Thcro can bo bat little doubt
that the visit was the result of thq numerous
changes which have taken nlaco in the po
litical situation in Europe , whicn luvo ren
dered a consultation between the members
of the Triple Alliance necessary. William
II. and Francis Joseph | iad a chance to ex
change views during the Hungarian maneu
ver. The emperor of Austria could not go
to Monza , so no aont his chancellor there.ta
consult with-tlfQ , king o ( Italy. The real
facts of the case are that Italy , being no
ibnsrcr nbTo lo stand tho-burden of tho- mili
tary expenditures which are imposed on her
by the terras of the Triple Alliance , baa
asked Germany and Austria to change the
conditions ot tnat compact and to allow her/
to reduce her army. Austria was delighted
with the proposition , for she , too , is in a baa
way financially nnd would also bo'glad to re
duce her military expenditures under the
pretext that Europe's most earnest desire is
to live in peace and to diminish the possible
chances for a war.
1'rnnpects of n'L'olltlcal Union.
At the Monza interview thcro was also
under discussion the possibility of the mar
riage of the prince of Naples , the son ot
King Humbert and the heir to the Italian
crown. The prince's physicians are still op
posed to his getting inarrlod , but ; political
reasons render it necessary. A great deal
lias been said aoout uniting him to an Aus
trian archduchess of the younger branch of
the Hapsburgs.
The outlook lor the winter is , therefore ,
most peaceful , for the Morocco affair will
soon bo arranged , or , rather , it will bo
patched up for a whllo , but diplomatists ,
however , consider that the peace of Europe
will always bo in danger so long as tlio plans
of England in regard to the coasts of Africa
are not known.

William's predecessors recruits were taken
by regiments to the garrison churches nnd
were sworn in by the regimental chaplain.
On Thursday last , however , after reading
his speech to the Reichstag the emperor

united the whole 10,000 men in thoLustgarten
beneath the windows of the white hall of the
castle where ; ho members of the Reichstag
had just listened to the kaiser's speech.
Perhaps thcro is no connection between

Quick to T.ilco Aclvantncr.
A pronunclamento publlshcd4n all the lead
ing conservative papers is the war cry. It
Is given out that everything must bo done to
impcdo the action of the government in
every possible direction ,
The revelations concerning aristocratic
habits arising from the Hanover gambling
scandals como , however , as a rude shock to
the agrarian compaign. The socialists will
arraign their private Ufa and the dissipa
tion of their sons and the squandering of im
mense fortunes as proof that the pretended
losses duo to agricultural depression are
mere buncombe.
Among the preventative measures sug
gested against a recurrence of such scan
dals is the abolition of the military riding
school at Hanover , lu order to prevent a
large gathering of officers In that city nnd
transfer of trainora in ridingx to separate
brigades.
Thacommission appointed to inquire into

The report of the commltt ° o is not yet
published , hut Its' oliioC points have trans
pired and show that eminent bankers and
othors/ltting on the commlttee have failed
to resist the onslaught of the agrarian party ,
which is seeking to attack the bourse by so-
called reforms , which is another term for
burdensome restrictions. The report pro
poses to establish n register of all the firms
and persons doing business on timo. This is
to bo periodically published in the ODIcial
Gazette , and failure to register will virtually
make tlmo bargains illegal , it is hoped
that such a register will impair the credit
of firms indulging in tlmo speculations , but
ns evasion ot the proposed law is not difll-
cult , it is thought the result of the proposed
legislation would bo to close business. The
report of the bourse ttonunisslon further
proposes the creation of a new stock ex
change corporation , Into whicn nobody will
bo admitted unless their business standing
is guaranteed by throe mombsrs , and , in ad
dition , the mcmbershlo will bo limited to
these who cngago solely in bourse business.

The press refers with a great deal of sym
pathy to the death In the prime of life of
Count II artenau ( Prince Alexander of Dat-
tenborg ) who , although not a great states
man , had bhown signs of promise of a great
military career. Prince Bismarck's predic
tion at the tlino of Prlnco Alexander's nom
ination to tUo throne of Bulgaria is recalled ,
that the prince's occupation of the throne of
Bulgaria would bo for him at least an Inter
esting souvenir Jeunessor. The prince's atti
tude slnco his abdication lias been most
logical and correct toward Bulgaria , refusing
steadily to join in any intrlguo likely to dis
turb the peace of tlio country. The misfor
tunes of his romantic Ufa wcro largely
attributable to.tho ( aver ho found during his
youth , owing to his dashing ( food looks , with
the late czar of Russia and the Russian em
press , Marie Alexandcrowna , which earned
him llio jealousy of the czar and his court.
