Explosion on Brazilian cruiser Aquidaban prompts rescue
Reported aboard the armored cruiser Aquidaban during a incident near Port Jachrepaggh four dozen sailors perished and one officer survived. Initial claims point to possible design rather than accident as the cause. Nearby ships aided survivors and recovered wreckage in the Brazilian navy. The Aquidaban, once Admiral Mello's flagship, has a history tied to earlier rebellion and a near confrontation with the US white squadron at Rio Janeiro.
