INCREASED PAY, ABOLITION OF CORPORAL PUNISHMENT Capital, Which Slept With Guns of Its Own Navy Trained upon It, Now Quiet Little Damage Was Done. RIO JANEIRO, Nov. 25. The na val mutlncera surrendered to- j day, congress voting them um-1 nctrty. All mutineers' demands, in- eluding increased pay and the aboil- i tlon of corporal punishment. were granted by the government. Last night the capital slept with its i own navy's guns trained upon it. It was thought the revolting vessels i were making ready lor u combined at-1 tack on the city. loiter It was dis-! covered that the tiring whs directed j only at tne naval arsenal. annonau iug did not last long. No great dam age was done. The morning broke with the mutl Atous craft outside the harbor. They did not return to port until several hoars had elapsed. When congress met both houses passed resolutions c onceding the sailors' demands. As I soon as congress' action became I known, the mutinous crews surren- dered. and the revolt was ended. The i city was soon quiet, resuming Us nor mal activities. The mutiny which broke out the night or November 22. on board the battleship Mlnas Gerues und subsequently extended to other vessels of the fleet, was in a critical stage lust night. The mutineers sent to the government a strongly worded ultimatum, demanding an increase in pay, the abolishment of corporal pun ishment und several' other unpopular regulations. Tho senate, which hud been called lnextraordlnury session to consider the situation, voted unanimously In favor of amnesty la the rebels, but tho chamber, after discussing Uie matter .most of the day, adjourned without taking final action. Lost night the battleship Sao Paulo and the cruiser Bahln. withdrew from the harbor, but the battleship Minos Ileross took up a position opposite the government palace. During the course of the clay an effort was made through Deputy Cnr valho to Induce the mutineers to sur render, but they re-fused to do so un til tho government grants their de mands. It is officially declared that the mutiny Is entirely without politi cal character and Is looked upon merely as an effort of the sailors to enforce certain demands for conces sions from their officers. About 10 o'clock on the night of November 22, Captain Neves, com manding tho battleship Mlnas Qeraes came back from dinner on board the French training ship Duguay Trouin He heard a violent uproar und a fusi lftde of shots. The crow had revolted. Captain Neves and two other officers offered resistance to some of the sail ors and were killed and one officer was mortally wounded. The Insurrectionary movement then i nut on board the jIWi new Brazilian dreadnoughts, the battle ships Sao Paulo and the scout ship Itr.hiiu All the officers having been landed a plain sailor of the first class named Jean Candldo took command of the squadron. Ammunition was provided, provi sions were requisitioned and a coal depot on the Isle of Vanna was taken. The mutineers sent a message to President Pronseco. sett In : forth their claims on board ship for an abolition of corporal punishment and an In crease In their pay, and dlmintlon ol the worlc with which they are bur dened by reason of the maintenance of incomplete crews. The statement added that a bom i. ..-h,,i..iii nf the citv nnd of other Mhtps In the harbor would follow the refusal of the demands. The government refused to grunt the demands of the mutineers and a moderately severe lire was soon opened by them upon the city. On the morning of the 2 Id there was further firing on the city by muti neers, tho shots coming at Infrequent intervals. Utla damage to the city re sulted from the bombardment, how ver. Besides Csptsln Neves snd the two officers several sailors also were killed. At 7 o'clock on ther morning of the 23d the Mlnas Qeraes, the Coo Paulo, the Buhla and the battleship Marshal Fiorina fired on the fortress, which r -framed from responding. The squadron took up a position opposite the city nnd fired the big guns from all quarters of the ships. A shot from a small caliber gun en tered a house on Castello Hill, In the center of the city, killing two children and a woman. About 1 o'clock In the afternoon a mall host flying a white flag ap peared alongside the Sao Paulo. It carried Deputy Carvalho, a retired naval offloer who desired to talk with tho mutineers. A little later the dep uty returned to shore and made a re port to the chamber of deputies which had been convened in special session to deal with the revolt The entire membership of the chamber declared Its support Of the government NO MOTIVE FOUND IN TRUNK MURDER The Mystery Seems No Nearer Solution Than on the Day the Sealed Trunk with Its Skeleton was Found Theory After Theory Is Exploded Robbery Motive no Longer Appears Possible. . H Sasfc '" 'I NEW YOIIK, Nov. 25. One of the puzzling factors confronting the police who are investigating the murder brought to light through the discovery of man's body in 1 trunk that for seven years' lay hidden in the basement at No. 4f0 West Fifty-fourth etreft is the absence in the tacts that have been uncovered of any basis on which they might build a rcusonanie theory of motive. It Is donbtrul. the police believe, whether they can make further prog ress until it Is established beyond doubSrwhether the two men whose names have figured prominently in connection with the (ase are dead or alive. Efforts are confined to attempts to get some trace of- William Lewis, wanted as the owner of the trunk, and Albert C Callier, known as an artist and an Intimate friend of Lewis. Confirmation of the report that a brother of Callier wa3 in this coun try In 1903 and made Inquiries . n cernlng the whereabouts of the aitist was not forthcoming at the offices of the French consul, at No, 3 3 South William street. Neither was a denial made. It being stated that the records were not public. At police headquar ters it could not be learned whether the police had been requested to lie on the watch for Callier at that date. An artist with studios in this city told the police he was acquainted with Callier and his brother, Kene Callier, 20 years age In France. While the latter later went to Africa and enjoyed success as n mine operator, the former come to this city. Information previously obtained by the police shows that Callier. friend of Lewis, boarded in 1S99 and 1900 with Mrs. Mary Kenney at 303 West 110th street. Callier left her home in 101, but, according to the latest story supplied to the police, he w as seen by a friend In June, 103. Cnllier then said he was well supplied with mone) and showed a ticket for a steamship that was to leave soon lor France. It was ot this date that Lewis mov ed from his boarding house at No. 101 West Sixty-third street and went to live In West 116th street with Mrs ! Kenney. It wns then also that the trunk the contents of which were ex posed a week ago was shipped by Iwls to his friend Phillip Meagher, then living In West Forty-seventh street. Did Not Art Il6e a Murderer. What natural conclusion might In drawn from these facts, the disappear ance of Callier and the appearance for the first time of the trunk, seems to ENGINEER DIES IN CIO, GOING 40 MILES AN HOUR Stricken With Approplexv While Driving Fait Passenger Train on C. M. i St. P. Road. Racine, Wit.. Nov. 2. The lives of 300 passengers on train No. IS, of the Chicago, Milwaukee & 8t.

T bc r ATtTIST FniEn C" Wt 1,1.1 .T C BVSJVIvB . wholly unsubstantiated by subsequent events, instead of trying to keep in the backgrnussf,' as one might believe, Lewis, after he moved to Harlem, be gan systematically to make himself known. He Joined a political organi zation, kept regular habits, seemingly was never without a position and had laid every plan to be married In Jan nary. 105, to Miss Ellen Knright. su perintendent of a nurses' registry In West 125th street. Then, on the day before the date of his wedding, Lewis suddenly disap peared from his boarding house, at NO. 234 West 124th street, and went to live for the next six months with Philip Meagher. No. 450 West Fifty-fourth street. Eight months later, February, 190S, Lewis appeared for a few min utes at home of Mrs. Kenney. This is the last trace that the police huve of him. The statement of the Meaghers that Lewis was without funds when he lived with them, together with the stories of the scores of persons who remembered Lewis during the three years he roomed in Harlem, that he never lived beyond the limits of a salesman's salary are the most dam aging facts against the theories that the body found in Lewis' trunk Is that of Callier, who wns murdered for his money.
