BLAINE's TELEGRAMs.
WASHINGTON, November 17th.-T The
members Of the Brazilian legation are still
without information direct from their
country in regard to the situation. They
were in hopes of receiving some news to-
day. but none came. and their only intelli-
gence was derived from the press and from
the telegram 10 the United States State
Department.
Secretary Blaine said this evening that
he had recsived a dispatch from Rio Ja-
neiro, and that it simply confirms the press

But, it was suggested, 'if the people
are favorable 10 the En- peror how can they
maintain c0ntrol?'

lacking and l expect to hear that the prov

Although he is I'M prisoned he IS still En-

war against the Capital, AID the situation
will resemble that in France a. the time of
the Paris Commune.
There are in the navy abou; ; $50 officers
and sailors. not all of whom ere in Rio,
many being abroad The army has s5out
the same strength, and with 5000 civilians
uphOding them il would make Is 600 men
only, and I do not believe the Government
has greater strength.
1t is true the dispatches say that some of
the provinces have declared for the repub-
lie, but this ell comes from Rio and those
who have seized the central Government.
We have not got the other side.
Knowing the country, do not think the
provinces have so declared. The Republi-
can party throughout the empire IS organ
lied into small clubs and their members
would, Of coarse, send their teiicitations 10
the General Government.
There are also small garrisons Of fifty or
more men in various provinces. and these
have sent in their congratulations. This,
l think, is the foundation for the state
ment in regard 10 the provinces.
Il cannot believe in the permanence IF
the Republic until we get more inf0rma-
ton and something from the other side Of
the question.
"Of the uew Cabinet, three of the men,

da Fonseca and Minister of War

the remaining three members are law

THE SURPRISE OF MINISTER.
PARIS, November 17th.-The Brazilian
Minister here expresses surprise that sew
eral stanch Monarchists, whom ne
thought incapable of treason. are among
the reported ring-leaders Of the Brazilian
revolution.
He said that the Republicans are only a
small minority; that the Emperor was uni-
versaily beloved; that General da Fonseca
mas much prestige and is popular with the
army, and Senior Constant was not impor-
tant as politician.
The Minister'S son scouts the idea that
slavery had anything to do with the move
ment. The Republicans, he said, sup
ported the emancipation of the slaves. A
revolution has been foreseen, but it was
not expected to take pace until after the
death Of the Emperor.
