PtULNAMiiuco, Dec. 25.?Tho situation
of atfaira baa very materially chanced
iii this city within tho last few hours.
Until this morning Pernambuco belioved
that its harbor was to bo tho
Eceneof the iirat big naval battlo between
tho Republica, Admiral Hello's
best warship, aad tho Aquidiban, her
companion rebel ship, on tho ono aide,
and tho Nictheroy, Prosidont Peixoto's
dynamite gun cruiaor, on tho other.
This belief was amply juatifled by tho
report received a fow days ago on apparently
good authority that the liepublica
and the Aquidaban had boon
aeon off tho Brazilian coast headed
northward and apparently bound for
iVrnambuco, aa if to take the Xicthorov
by surprise and compel her to fight
without a chanco of putting to sea. The
news received here this morningchanged
the whole aspect of affairs. The rebel
warships, it was learned, were not on
their way to Perpambuco, but on the
contrary had sailed towards the mountainous
and rugged island of Fernando
de Noronha, where there is a largo convict
settlement.
The island, despite ite ruggedness,
possesses considerable fertility, and its
kevoral liarbors defended by forte, would
onublo Mollo to make a vigorous resistance
if attacked.
hello's ojuect.
Tho revolutionary admiral's object in
going to Fernando De Noronha, which
is ovor 100 miles from tho main coast of
lSrazil, is to compel as many ablobodiod
convicts as he can find in the settle
mont to go aboard his vessels and join
their crews. It is said that be expects
to pocure not leas than 1,000 men in
thin way.
Upon the receipt of this news aboard
the Nictheroy there wa9 great activity
noticeable. Members of the crew wore
tent ashore in small boats to search
through the town for auch of the Nictheroy's
men as had been allowed to
land and hurry them back to the Hhlp.
iho commanding officer of tho Nitcheroy
had apparently roceived full instructions
as to how he should act in
iuch an emergency and these instructions,
it is bolieved, wero to tho eflect
that if ho became convinced that the
report of tho coming to Pernambuco of
tho llopublica and tho Aquidaban
proved to bo untrue and that theso voafelf,
instead of seeking wero evading
fl?ht, he should lo>o 110 further time,
but put to sea at onco and force thorn
into a naval contest for superiority.
AFTER THE REBEL ADMIRAL.
This view of the case proved to be
corrcct, for this afternoon when all the
inen belonging to tho Nictheroy's crow
had boon gotten aboard tho government
battle ship she weighed anchor and
steamed out to sea and pointed hor nose
for tho northeast.
Tho Associated Press correspondent
ia reliably informed that the Nictheroy's
destination is tho island of Fernando
do Xoronha. If this information
is correct the long expected soa battle
between tho revolutionist and the government
war vessels will in all probability
bo fought within a short time. .

THE CHINESE QUESTION*.
Senator White Saya TIioho People Will
llcglftter Umier tlio New Lnw.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 25.?Senator
i White, of California, who has given
closo attention to the Chinese question
in all its phasev, expro?sed the opinion
that Chineso residents of this country
will accept tho opportunity to register
under the now law extending tho Geary
. act, and says that many of tho Chineso
have so assured him. The senator says
that tho only thing which stood in tho
way of their registering under tho provisions
of the Geary law boforo tho
timo for registration wns extondod by
tho present congress, was tho opposition
of tho Six Companies, who made
1 tho fight against tho constitutionality
oi tho onactmont and meantime
nrnvAntad tho Chinpsn from
complying with the law. Now
that tho Suprcuio Court of tho United
States lias decided upon the constitutional
points and has continued tho
right of congress to legislate in tho mati
ter, and in tiio viow of the fact that this
government hap shown a tendency to
act leniently with the Chineso nlready
here, it is supposed that the six companies
will withdraw their opposition
to registration and pormit compliance
with tho law, especially as thoy have
been warned that refusal will result in
wholesale deportation, which would be
ruinous to their interests. Furthermore,
it is understood that some of tho
managers of tho six companion have
expressed their acquiescence in tho law.
It is also statod that tho Chinese government
will urge compliance.
Senator White says there has befsn
moro talk about tho objection of tho
Chinese to having their photographs
taken for filing with their certificates
than was justified, and that it has
largely died out sinco tho exclusion bill
became a law. llo thinks, therefore,
! that the Chinese never felt so much reJ
pugnance to having their pictures
taken ag was represented. The belief
is general among California people that
the Chinese will submit to this exaction
and the present Marshal of Southern
California is so eutirely convinced on
, this point that ho has established a
photograph gallery in Los An coles for
the purpose of photographing tho
Chinese when tho rush shall begin. Tho
senator also states that thoro is no
especial foeling among the Amoricans
, of California upon tho aubjoct, becauso
. they think tho act will bo enforcod and
they are willing to submit to tho presence
of tho Chinese now here, providing
it be understood that no moro uro
to bo imported.
WROTE THKEATK.VING LETTERS.
A Cranlc Arrested In Waflliint;toii for Annoying
Prominent Pnblio .Men.
"Washington*, D. C., Dec. 23.?Joseph
Donjon, tho man who has been writing
threatening letters to a number o?
prominent public men during tho last
two weoks, is in jail to-night. lio
walked into the detective bureau of
James A. iucuavuc luig auurnuou ubking
for food. Tho doctor took him to a
coffee house and bad something prepared
for him to out. Meantime ho
questioned and learned enough to fix
bis idontity. lie started towards the
station house with his man, and on the
way met Detectives Nod Weed on and
George Jioyd in whose hands ho placed
hitn.
It will be romomborod that a letter
from this man to Senator Mills a few
days ago caused tho senator's son Charles
H. Mills, to secure leavo from tho
authorities to go armed for tho protection
of his father. This was tho causo
of bringing the man's acts more prominently
before tho public. For several
months past ho has boon writing similar
letters to a uumbor of prominont
i public men, among whom were Vice
President Stevenaou, Sonator Gorman,
Senator Mills, Senator Sherman, and, as
tho mnn himself claims, President
Cleveland and Secretary of War
Lamont
Tho polico officials say that it is not
probablo that his hearing will take
place to^morrow, and it may bo dolayed
several "days. Tho lottera from him,
which they now have in their possession,
don't contain throatsof a character
that would bo likely to mako a caso
against him on that chargo.
The man tells a connected story, but
the polico put no faith in his assertion
that ho was incited to write tho letters
Oy other persons.
NO COMPROMISE.
I'nlno lluiuor of Settlement of the UrockInrldge-Pollnrd
Suit.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 25.?Thb
ruinor to tho effect that tho snitof Miss
Madelino V. Pollard against Kopresentative
Breckinridge for $50,000 for broach
of premise, will be compromised and
sottled outside of court, is not credited
in this city. Enoch Totten, one of Mr.
Breckinriclgo's attorneys, said to-day:
"I saw Mr. Breckinridge day before
yesterday, and ho said nothing to mo
of any settlement, or, indeed, of any
proposition on his part or on the part
of Miss Pollard respecting a settlement.
Had thero been any such proposition
mndo I would certainly havo been informed
of it. How it originated I am
at a loss to understand. You can say
that, as far as his council have been informed,
thero is no intentiou on tho
part of Mr. Breckinridgo to agree to
any settlement which would in any way
reflect upon his eharactor."
BLAKtC'S VISIT
To This Country Sunt To Uo Only of n
UumcNtlc Nature.
Nkw York, Dec. 25.?An Associated
Press reporter called nt tlio roaidonce ol
Dr. Thomas Addis Euiuiett, tho president
ot the Irish National Federation
of America, to interview tho Hon. Edtram
Blake, motnber of Parliament for
Longford, Ireland, who is one of tbo
executive committoe of tho Irish Parliamentary
ropresenlnlives lod by Justin
McCarthy. Mr. Blake was out. Dr.
Emmott stated that Mr. Blako lias
come to spend the holidaya with his
family at Toronto and not with any
business connoctod with the Federation.
"I may say," Baid Mr. Emmott, "that
Mr. Binke was never more hopeful of
tho situation of tbo homo ralo question
than lie is now. Ilo speaka vory confidenllv."
Asked if tho Federation would cot np
a fund for the evicted fonanta in Ireland.
Mr. Ernmett said: "So. The
Federation was not formed for that
purpose. The pooplo of Ireland will
have to support them. The Federation
of America was formed to support tho
parliamentary party, a number of H
whom were you of? men who could not
remain in Parliament without assistance.
Wo will try and collect as much
money for them as wo can, and if thoro nj
is a balance over it will bo ziven for tho U1
evicted tonant9. It takos $150,000 a year
to support our members of Parliament, jj
We have over ono hundred branches in
tho United ?Statos, sovonty or eighty- i
five being in Maisachu setts. Now
York is rathor backward, there only
boing about twonty branches here."
"lias Mr. Blako expressed any opin- <
ion as to whether tho statement mado .
in tho Cronin murder trial in Chicago
as to tho letter suggesting tho necessity
of Dr. Cronin'a removal and attributed i
to Mitchell Davitt was written by him ?"
"No," aaid Dr. Emmott, "and I do *
not think he knows anything about it.
Ilo was not a member of the Irish party
at tho time. Wo expect to try and
make use of Mr. Blake beforo ho returns 1
to London by jotting him to speak at a te
meeting hero on behalf of tho interests
of tho Federation." wj

of tho lottor from II. W. Lang, Governor
Mitchell's privato socretary, to J. wl
It. Tyson, of this city, emphatically
stating that tho governor would use all ^
means in his power to prevent tho Cor- or
bott-MitchcU contest, tho Associated
l*re.ss correspondent to-day interviewed fy
J. E. T. Bowdon, general manager of tho th
Duval Athlotic club, regarding the gov- pi
ornor's position and tho proapoct for nc
tho contest tu
Mr. Bowden is absolutely confident of of
tho ability of tho club to bring tho con- ca
test to a successful issue. IIo said: "I in
am more firmly convinced that tho th
match will tako placo than I have been
at any period sinco tho contest was cr:
talked of. In this sentiment my asso- CO
ciaiL'a unite, ana ho sirou^iy uo wo iijoi ?
that the match will tako place, that wo ro
aro rushing tho arena to rapid comple- ve
tion and making tho necessary and suit- at
able arraneemonts." cu
"But Mr. fiowden, recent telegrams ar
from this city have been published of a va
character likely to impair the attend- QU
ance and bavo caused some anxiety ?r
among those who have therefore felt pe
assured that tho contest would take ch
place. What have vou to say in rogard
to those telegrams?' !)C
"Just this. The ontiro talk and un- M
eaainc33 was occasioned by tho publica- pi
tion of a letter written by II. W. Lang, Cc
Governor Mitchell's privato secretary, th
on November 21. Its publication, so
long aftor it was written, induced poo- y?
plo to think that some now utterance foi
had been made by thogovornor, or by his
authority, when, in fact, such was not ag
tho case. Wo do not say, and iiavo re
never said or thought, Governor A^itcli- >9'
ell would not do everything that ho ni1
conceived it was his duty to do undor
tho law to stop the match. We,
at the same time, aro assured by th
our knowledge of Governor Mitch- c|l
ell's sincerity of character that si<
he will not interfere if it should fe
be demonstrated in an authorativo way ou
that tho contemplated match is not
violative of tho law. Wo oxpoct at a pi'
very early date?not lator than the pros- J?

question. If our position is sustained. )'G
wo will continue our course. If, how- he
over, the contention should bo deter- be

claro tho match off. Tho city council
has passed an ordinance legalizing contests
of tho character of this one con- fe<

tho city, county and stato is overwhelm- iQ

Tho laws of Congress which have dis- nc
