Nkw York, Nov. 8.—New* from St.
Thouiaa, West ladle*, dated Dec. 8.,
“7*:
Aa thla despatch I* cent, the Brazilian
cruiaen, Nictheroy, Cepf. Baker, and
America, Capt. Crewman, Are preparing
to aail, under «ealed order*, for
port in Brazil.
The Nictheroy arrired here Monday,
Not, 27,and a teamed outride on Tneaday
and Thonday, when aoma ezee
Hotchkla* target practlg* w«a done,
gnn crew* handled th* ! dew weapon** In
the mo*t admirable manner earning the
higheat praiae from the officers in com*
On Friday the dynamite gun wa*
twice fired, once with a dummy shell
and once with a loaded shell. All th«
gun* worked satisfactorily, and the
Nictheroy returned to this harbor <m
Friday, everybody feeling perfectly aat-
iafied that the new Brazilian cruiser is in
perfect fighting trim.
One of the Nictheroy** seamen, Fred
trick Martin, died of pneumonia and
will be bnried ashore.
The America arrired here yeaterday
after a rough trip, and both ve*Mels are
expecting to weigh anchor to-nig lit aud
head for the coast of Brasil. <
The officers and crews of both feel full
of fight anti anxious for a brurii with
the enemy.
Cable message* are said to have been
exchanged here between the comman
ders of the Brazilian erurien aud the
home authorities, and they are said to
havt been notified that Admiral de Mel-
lo ha* left Rio de Janeiro in order to
meet their two shl|is. This caused all
the more ontlmsiasm among the crew*
of the Nictheroy aud the America.
The destination being a secret, and it
being reported that the crews will not be
allowed to commnnicate with the shore,
it is doubtful when any further news of
President Peixoto'a two crosiers will be
forwarded to the United Btates.
The Associated Press corrosjwndenton
board the Nictheroy has been well
treated by the officers of the ship, and
antHpatee witnessing the moat novel
naval battle in the history of n
warfare.
Those who at first looked upon the
dynamite gun aa being little more than
an experimental plaything hare changed
their minds since they have seen this
on handled, and more **•
e the dynamite gnn has
successfully fired.
All now look forward with considera
ble relief and anticipation to a mooting
with the vessels ol the rebel fleet, fad
ing confident that if one shell can be
* an board the Aqnidaban, for
there will be an end to Ad
miral de Mallo and to the revolution in
Brazil.
Th* crew* of the Nictheroy and Amer
ica asked the Associated Press corre
spondent to forward their love, regards
and an rovoir to all friends and relativas
at home, and to assure them that they
expect to return to New York in safety,
after having covered themselves with
flory.
Mello Mm Hhs Located.
Washington, Dec. 8 —A despatch
has been received at th* state depart
ment from Minister Thompson announc
ing th* arrival of Admiral Mello on the
Aqnidaban at the quarantine station of
Ihle Grands. This is the quarantine sta
tion off Rio recently established, and th*
admiralYappearanc* there would seem to
indicate that he has reconsidered his de
termination to give battle to the Amer
ica and Nictheroy on the high seat, if in
deed that wee really his purpose in leer-
la the Uaa4a at KsglUK Owner*.
Ralviuh, Dec. 8.—President Last, of
the Cap# Fear and Yadkin Valley rail
way. now acknowledges the truth of the
rumor that the road is to past into th*
hands of English owners.
The Associated Frass Bailsvas II Mss Re-
liable Information.
Washington, Dec. 0.—An Associated
Press representative ha* received from e
reliable source an intimation of the pol
icy intended to be panned In Bewail.
The extent of the active Influence in
tended to be employed in behalf of tt’
•eating UUuokaUni on the throne has
probably been exaggerated.
The purpose of the Administration la
believed to be rather to act as en arbi
trator between the two parties in dispute
and endeavor to prevail on them to agree
between themselves. This was contin
gent upon the confident belief, based
expression contained ia the last 1st-
to Mr. Blount that the provisional
mt would fall to pierce when it
that, annexation wasirapracHo-
leaving an open dispute between
the ex-queen amt the provisional gov-
The pneent government can only rely
on tbe nse of military force, possessed of
most of the arm*on thwMmtd, with a
•mail while population to draw from to
strengthen it. Ultimately it will fall
without fail. It may preaerre it* exist
ence fbr a year or two, hot not longer.
Enough is known'of Minister Willie,
from exnreesioAi gained since his arrival
In Honolulu, to make it certain that he
doee not egrae^with Mr. Blount—at
leant in thisTwhether this impression
caused hie determination to wait farther
instructions from Washington U a mat
ter of conjocture.
The Associated Press telegram, bring
ing late news from Hawaii, was read in
the cabinet nuxtiug from the cabinet
office copy in advance of publication. It
waa read with interrat and waa the sub
ject of consultation in the cabinet, bat
probably caused no change in the plan
decided on after henring from Minister
Wiilia by the Alameda.

THK WOKLII OF COTTON.
CoitlllloBof IbMMarkMt* WatenUy a* lie-
porte«l by Clapp A Co.
New York, Dec. 0 —Cotton opened
a decline of from 5 to 8 points on di»?p-
pointing Liverpool market, and before
noon bad declined about as much more,
the selling prices at 12 o'clock showing
decline of from 0 to 10 point* as com
pared with yesterday'# closing price*.
The chief factor In this depression was
a decline In Liverpool for thi* day of
from 2 to 3.04d, with the tone easy at
the close. A seoondary cause was tbn
continued heavy portward movement,
the estimated receipt# at the ports to
day being 48,000 bale* egatoat85,002 this
day last year. The loss in Liver
pool contract# waa attributed to a
re-estimate mode by Mr. Neill of a crop
of 7,700,00 bales.
A great deal of interest Is still shown
the movement of cotten, ami some
are looking onzlously for a beginning of
reseed movement that Is antici
pated. Others say that we will not se<
much, If any, falling off In receipts. At
U called to the fact that during
cr pert of December of last year
the receipts fell off very materially from
whet they were at the beginning of the I
month. It is apparent that the move
ment and crop are the two essential fac
tors of market-making just now, hence
the anxiety to know what the month
will bring forth In regard to the move
