HALF-BREED NEGRO HELD FOR
THE CRIME AND IS SAID TO
HAVE MADE CONFESSION.
^Trenton, N. J., Nov. 25.—John Sears
who was arrested last night on a
charge of having murdered Rev. Amsl
L. Armstrong and his wife at their
home in Dutch Neck Wednesday night,
is said to have made a confession.
Prosecutor Wm. L. Crossley will make
no official statement that the confes
sion has been made but there seems
no doubt the man has admitted the
shooting.
A jury empanelled by Coroner Dan
iel V. Bower of Mercer county today
viewed the bodies of Armstrong and
wife. The coroner fixed Dec. 9
as the day for taking testimony. John
sears is a son of the housekeeper em
ployed by the Armstrongs and lived
with his mother at the Armstrong
homestead. He is in the county jail
charged with the double murder. He
is a half breed negro. Prosecutor
Crossley refused to discuss the motive
for tile crime.
Exp«Qtsd Bequest*
It is'unuerstood that Sears believed
that some provisions had been made
for him in the minister's will and that
he was impatient to get the bequest.
While Crossley would not affirm or
deny that a confession has been made
he said that the state's case is per
fect and that Sears would be tried
for murder in the flrst degree.

Rio de Janeiro, Nov. 25.—The naval
mutineers surrendered today, COS*
gress voting an amnesty.
The government yielded to their
ultimatum and granted an In
crease in pay, the abolition corporal
punishment in the navy an-1 cha ad
justment of minor grievances. Last
evening the Sa Paulo and the Rahi*
withdrew from the harbor supposedly
because they feared a ni«:it attack
from the loyal torpedo boat destroy
ers. The Mlnas Geraes, however, re
mained opposite the government palace
and was Joined by the cruiser Deodora.
For several hours everything was
quiet. Then the watchers on shora
noted activity on board the Deodora.
The hour following midnight passed
anxiously. Thsn the small guns of tba
Deodora awoke the town. It was flrst
thought that the revolting vessels were
making a combined attack on the city.
The capital slept last night with the
guns of its own navy trained upon it.
Panic Prevails.
For a time a panicx.v feeling was
general, then it was discovered that
the firing was confined to the Deodora
and was directed only at the naval
arsenal. The cannonading did not last'
lotig and no great damage was done.
Congress met in extraordinary ses
sion this morning. The chamber iM
deputies first concurred with the sen
ate in granting amnesty to the mutt*
neers. Both houses then passed reso
lutions conceding the demands of the
sailors.
As soon as the action of congreW
became known the mutinous crew®
surrendered and the revolt was at an
end. The city was soon quiet re
suming its normal activities.
Confirmed at Washington.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 25 Senor
de Lima Silva, charge d' affairs of the
Brazilian embassy here, received a
cablegram early today informing him
that the mutineers in the Brazil las
