Eio Janeiro, Jan, 16.? Undoubted evidence
h::s been secured of the presence here of
Frer cb anarchists and it is believed they have
developed elaborate and competent plans for
the blowing r?p of the American fleet of war

It is understood they hoped to be able to
take advantage of the season of festivity here
when it might be supposed that vigilance
would be lax and the presence of an enemy un
suspected -
The suspects have been here for many
months and have found employment, workine
steadily by way of diverting suspicion from
themselves. Tney hive, nevertheless, been
under surveilanca and their activity, develop
ed upon the approach of the fleet brought to
light evidence that seems conclusive to the
authorities.
The suspect have disappeared, not hav
ing been apprehended, and this tact ar ouses
s^me uneasiness. Every precaution is being
t *k en for the protection of the vessels while
in the harbor. G-uaras will ba reinforced and
tli 3 bay patrolled under search lights at night
da 'lag the entire parioi of the stay- The Bra
zil: ai government is exercising as much acti
vity ia th3 matter as is Admiral Evans and his
officers.
It is hinted here that the appearance of
Frenchmen is the direct result ol the activity!
of the agents of Japan in the French capital
