to Iuiectlon bjr Committee.
New Yoiik, April 13. A Herald dis
patch from Washington says :
Admission is made at the navy de
partment that the Brazilian cruiser
Nicthuroy has been purchased subject to
nn inspection by a naval committee to
be appointed by Minister Bryan.
The Nictheroy, which is equipped with
a dynamite gun, will, naval authorities
eay, he available for siege duty, provided
she is still In good condition. She was
built at Newport News five yearB ago
and sold to Brazil six months after her
completion, being converted for that
government Into a man-of-war. She is
a steel vessel of 7080 tonB displacement,
and her one screw prepels bcr ut the
rsteol 19 knots an hour. Her engines
aud boilers are protected by coal bunk
ers, and her armament consists of one
15 inch pneumatic dynamite gun, one 4
inch quick-fire gun, two 3.0-inch quick
Cre guns, eight U-pounders, ten 1-pound
ers and four Howell torpodo lubes.
By tho terms of the contract under
which she will be sold to thegovernment
8lie will be delivered at any point on the
coast of tho United States that the de
partment may designate.
There has been some talk in navel cir
cles of holding the Nictheroy at Kio Ja
neiro until the arrival of the Oregon and
the gunboat Marietta at that point so
that they muy shift a crew to her and
convey her to Key West. These vessels,
however, will not reach Klo in less than
2- days, and if war were declared in the
meantime and the Nictheroy had become
the property of this government, Brazil
would bo compelled to refuse to deliver
her. If the Nictheroy should leave Bio

departure, the officials eay tbo Spanish
