Legation of the United States,
Petropolis, December 5, 1893. (Received December 6.)

Mr. Thompson reports that the insurgent vessels are at present in a very bad condition; that Mello has sailed from the quarantine station at Ilha Grande, which he pillaged, in a southerly direction, and that it does not seem to be necessary to send a war vessel at this time to Pernambuco under the present condition of affairs there.
