Sensational Rumors.
By Associated Press to The Ncwb.
Pernambuco, Dec. 22.—The
most siartling and sensational
rumors are in circulation here.
Acoording to the report which
reached here from Rio today, the
insurgents’ fleet, after two days’
desultory fighting with the govern-mant
troops, made a determined and
successful attack upon Rio, which
resulted in the capture of that city.
It is added that Piexoto has resigned
in favor of Mello, and that Piexoto
is a prisoner in the hands of his
enemies.
Two Sensational Letters.
By Associated Press to tlie News.
Abilene, Kan., Dec. 22.—Two
letters were picked up on the street
here Wednesday by a oountry
woman and handed to the police.
One of the letters is from Topeka,
dated Dec. 10, and says:
.“We have concluded to make
two jobs out of the white house
business. We will take the oldest
child first. We ean get her all
right.. Mollie will get her and
hand her over to us and we will
keep her until a reward is offered.
It means thousands to us to get this
child, Ruth, and we will get her,
too, in January. Address me in
Chicago. We will go right on.”
The other letter was from
Minneapolis and written prior to
the one already quoted. It said:
“We have everything ready for
the White House, and will send
Grover to hades when the bugle
sounds. We will also get our
$20,000. We will start for the
White House now. We have never
failed in our jobs, and won’t now.
There is mucli more in the houses
of the goldbugs and Vanderbuilts.”
The letters bear evidence of sincer-and
the police consider them
j the work of cranks. A queer aoting
individual, who was around the city
early in the week declaring that he
would soon be rich, is supposed to
have been the recipient of letters.
He has gone east and has not been
located.
A Crank Wanted.
By Associated Press to lhe News.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 22.—
H crank, who signed himself Joseph
Don Jam, 73 Passaic street,
Newark, is wanted by the secret
service for writing threatening
letters to a number of prominent
officials. Vice-President Stevenson
is the man to whom he sends most
of the epistles. Senators Sherman
and Mills have also been objeots of
attention on the part of the crank.

No News Received.
| By Associated Press to The News.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 22.—
I Neither the state nor navy depart-ment
has received any news indi-eating
the capture of Rio and the
downfall of Piexoto. At the navy
the opinion is expressed that Capt.
Picking would promptly notify the
department of such an occurrence.
The government here, however, has
for some days inclined to the belief
that Piexoto 'was losing ground and
that he was liable to meet with
serious reverses in a short time.
At the Brazilian legation it was
stated that no news had been
received, and the rumor of Rio’s
| capture was doubted. Ordinarily
I the legation receives advices each
day. Some delay apparently has
occurred in sending cable messages
| to the legation here.
