BRAZIL'S CLAIM UNASSAILABLE
As Portuguese Territory the Asphalt
IslnnJ Peccuded to Brazil When
the InJepcmlencc of Thut Coun
try Wus Acknowledged.
Wash!: r ton. Oct. 22. An Interna
tional complication which may be of
greater Importance to Great Britain
than Iter dispute with V. i.cr.Uela. it Is
said here. Is likely to follow the decla
ration that her majesty's government
will net relinquish the possession of
the Island of Trinidad in Brazil, wlil. h
' Is situated about 1M utiles from Ui
' Jat eiro. Various claims to the pos
' session of this island, which Is nn Im
! portant stratccotie point have been
I advanced by Great Britain n t. different
t'im 's. Otto claim was of original d!s
; cowry, but this being abundantly dis
' pioved. In favor of the Portuguese,
. claim Is now made to the Island as
having been acquired by Grout Britain
by purchase from the claimants to n
grant disputed to Brazil. (Trent l'.ri't
nin Is reported to have arrlv.nl I t a
decision that the will adhere to this her
latest claim. No further Information
regarding; the matter can be learned
here.
The Brazilian minister. Senor Mon
donca, politely but (irmly declined to
day to discuss It. 'He said he had no
Information with reference to ('.rent
Britain's action and refused to discuss
' Its eft M-t oitlitr In its relation to Brazil
; or to this country. There is. however.
! true, and if this lie so tlrent Britain's
j action w!!l create a greater excitement
; In Brazil than has existed there for
y.'ars.
I There Is the strongest documentary
j evidence that Brazil's claim to Trinidad
is unassailable. The Island, so far as
' Its physical aspect is concerned, is bar
' ten and uninviting, with u sterile soil.
c.f which rocks nnd rocky f.uinations
i are the principal prodtfet. It was dis-
covered by the Portmruese as far back
I as l.'lo and later when Portugal ao
' knowledgeil the Independence f Hiazll.
It fell to the possession of the latter
country.
Portugal's Control Acknowledged.
T'ntrland has several times since prac
tienliy acknowledged Portucnl's control
o the Island and her seizure of the ter
ritory at this late day will, it Is hi
lievd nrotit" the deepest Indignation
of the Hrazilinns. This conclusion is
based on the nteranres of the Brazilian
press several months no. when tiie ro
ll ir was llrst clretilated that F.nnlun I
! Il l'1, trken possession of the island.
If the tiewsj a pen of It'o .la'.elro and
; th" other Imnortnnr cities of the r--;
public, properly reflected puMio senti-
toert. the Brazilians were tit that trna
wi'ling to proceed to ary extrqiie

ceivitge at the Union station. The
c.uri.igis for the visitors were grouped
in front ct the iM.irXliam .House. It
was an o detiy crowd and tha police
had very little trouole ill keeping an
open passage way from the palace cars
to the carriages. Air. Cleveland was
greeted with cheers when he stepped
upon Ceorgia soii. He was ushered
into a carriage drawn by four white
horses. Urihiilent Charles Collier, of

Turk, of the Southern railway, fol
lowed quickly In other carriages, es
corted by members of the exposition
board of directors. The party were
driven through two lines of humanity
to the Aragon hotel, where they are
quartered. The president smiled and
bowed as he passed up the familiar
streets, seeming to recognize a nuni
brf of people In the trong.
Chariot;. was the Hist town at which
'Mri Cleveland showed himself on the
trip down. The train stopped there for
twvnty minutes und the .pr.sl.lent
shook bands with a large proportion of
the 4,f'M people who assembled. Twelve
hundred school children marched past
and two or three military companies
were drawn up In line. Spartanshurg
turned out f.,Mi0 or fi.nOrt strong to see
the visitors. O.reonvillo, S. C, was
reached ai 12.2U. The president shook
hands wi'h all who coul 1 get to him
and had a pleasant word for the chil
dren. The cabinet members also took

In the land Is the great American pas

to tight In private. In . place to be
s.lected by a Chicago man now here
for the iside !et of $10,000 each. If
Corbett will not consent t. this, then
we will demand t'he forfeit of $2,5ii,
and as the people 1'bmtitied with the
Florida club are supposed to le all
honorable men. we assume they -will
pay over promptly.

Ill the course of the conversation Ju
lian lntlmate.1 that Corbett wished the
tight iKistioned because he could not
get Into condition In time. Corbett re
plied: "Wi ll, now to relieve your mind,
I will tell you what I will do. You
know if we flghton Oct. 31 we do not get
a cent, we tight for nothing. Now if
you think the club iistpnned the fight
to allow me time In which to get into
condition, go and get Fltzslmmons as
quickly as you can and I will fight him
for nothing. Can you get him before
the governor can do anything to pre
vent the iisht?"
"I have hear-1 nothing about the
governor going to stop it."
Corbett laughingly replied: "Have
you been In a trance. I told you I
would tight Fitzsimmons for nothing
and I want to lo it right now before the
law prevents us."
"Will you light him In Corpus Chrlstl
on Oct. 31?"
"No; you know there Is a law In
Texas making prize lighting a felony,
1 don't want to to to state's prison."
"Well, we will allow a gentleman
present to select a place for a private
light on Oct. ::i."
The person in question evidently did
not care to assume the responsibility
of selecting a place, as he allowed the
suggestion to pass without any com
ment. "Pin't you Imagine that you or
Bra iy. or any of the members of the
Florida club are going to force Frits
slmnrons to oha.nge his iosltion In this
m alter."
"In the first place, I don't want to
fight for nothing, but I Just want to
call this fellow down. He Is the blg
gt cowoTd ever nut on record. He
Is a citr, and neve I intended to fight.
Now I w'. tell you what I will do.
If you will bring- Fitzsimmons here I
will debt him for nothing."
