The American battleships entered
fort of Rio Janeiro at 3 p. m. Sunday
after n passage from Port of Spain,
Trinidad, more than 3,000 miles, un
manned by serious accident, replete
with interesting incidents and ending
with a royal welcome from the thous
ands that had gathered to greet the
visitors.
The fleet weighed anchor at 4
o'clock on the afternoon of Dec. 29
at Port of Spuin, and exactly at 4
o'clock Sunday the vessels were swing
ing at their anchors In this beautiful
harbor. All of tho battleships are
here, but tho supply ships Culgoa and
Glacier are still at sea, not having
been able to keep along with the
others. The fleet has now covered
about 4.C00 miles, about a third of
the distance of the voyage to San

THE
Capo Frio, torty-llve miles away, was
received at 8:1.1 o'clock and immedi
ately scores of tugs and other small
craft, crowded with spectators, set out
to meet the visitors and accompanied
them to the anchorage. On, lined
against the horizon the great battle
ships, stretched out In one long line,
came slowly through the passage Into
the hay. The Connecticut, Rear Ad
miral Kvans' flagship, was in the
lead, with the rray.ilian cruisers,
dressed in gala attire, on either side.
Passing the fortress, the Connecti
cut fired a salute of 21 guns, whicil
was responded to by the Brazilian
warships, tne German cruiRer Bremen
and the shore guns. The yards and
flghtlng-tops were manned and cheers
upon cheers were given for the splen
did passage of the flagship and her
sister ships.
Outside of Rio Janeiro a Brazilian
fleet consisting of three cruisers, ac
companied by the American tender
Yankton, met the American warships
off Cape Frio and after an exchange
of greetings steamed with them along
the coast and Into the roadstead.
A hearty welcome was extended to
the officers and men by tho minister
of marine In the name of the Brazilian
government and tha navy. Bands
played and whistles blew, with the
waving of many flags, as the American
ships streamed proudly through and
dropped their anchors.

sponded to a fire that burned the
1'arker building, u twelve-story busi
ness structure occupying the block
between Kast Eighteenth street and
Nineteenth street on Fourth avenue,
Friday night. Fought by half the firo
meu of Manhattan and apparatus that
blocked tho streets for blocks, the
flames were never controlled nnd only
with difficulty confined to the build
ing in which they originated. Floor
fter floor gave way and dropped to
the linsemcnt, and beneath these no
less than thirty firemen were caught
and either killed outright or seriously
injured.
When the fire had burned Itself out
and the firemen's roll was called four
firemen failed to respond.
On the top floor it, th Suffolk Ej
gravlng company's .'stib'.i .-tiiinciu six
men were at ork. j'heir oseape wjs

The hotel is seven stories high and
from it r roof a rope was fired across
the top of the burning building. There
it was seized by the imperilled men
nnd the free end made fast about a
chimney. Down this rope hand over

Meantime the Florence hotel had
been emptied of Its 2"0 guests and

Trains Under the East River.
The first of the series of tunnels
connecting Manhattan with Brooklyn
on the one side and New Jersey on
the other was opened for traffic short
ly after midnight on Thursday last,
when the initial passenger train
left the Bowling Green station
ttf the lnterborongh subway, and dl
plng down the inclined tracks to t he
Battery, far below the surface of the
East river, entered one of the long
steel double tubes that parallel each
other under the river to Brooklyn.
The opening of this tunnel is re
garded as a long step toward I he solu
tion of the transpoitallon problem of
New York, us it brings New York
and Brooklyn closer together and
gives an outlet to Manhattan's mil
lions by bringing the thinly populated
territory of ling Island wiihin easy
reach of the center of business.
The opening of the Battel y . tnniiei
will serve to relieve, in some extent,
the Brooklyn bridge "crush."
