The Government of the United States Of
Brazil in Power.
Rio DE JANEIRo, Nov. 1S.-The United
States of Brazil, constituting a federal
republic of the different provinces of the
empire over which Dom Pedro had ruled
SO long, is an established government.
The new republic is today acknowledged
by every province except Bavia in the
north. Dom Pedro is on his way to
Portugal, having accepted the situation
with no attempt at forcible resistance.
The flag of the new republic has been
adopted and Brazil is as peaceful today as
though no thought of revolution had ever
aroused the feelings of her people. The
overthrow of the empire has been accom-
plished without the sacrifice of single life
and the new provisional government is
proceeding with its work as methodically
and peacefully as though it had been in
existence for years instead of hours Dom
Pedro submitted to the terms imposed on
him by the new government and agreed to
leave the country within twenty-four
hours after he received the notice at his
summer palace at Petropolis. He was
offered 3, 100000 in cash and provision for
the rest of his life in the form of an annual
pension of $50 900, which is to be provided
for in the civil list of the new republic. He
promptly accepted the offer and came to
Rio de Janeiro with his family last night
to embark for Lisbon.
The imperial family at 8 o'clock this
morning boarded the Brazilian gun-boat
Parnaby1a, which was still flying the i'm
perial flag in the harbor. The Parnabyia
transferred the imperial party to the Ala
goas, which steamed out OF the harbor this
forenoon, conveyed by the cruiser Ria
chueto and the gun-boat Parnabyia,
for Lisbon. Dom Pedro and his family go
into perpetual exile, his absence being re-
garded by the leaders of the country as
essential to the peace and welfare of the
new government. The new flag of the
United States of Brazil, which takes the
place of the imperial emblem with its
crown and coffee leaf, is composed of
green and gold stripes, with a blue field.
on which are emblazoned nineteen stars.
Today it is hoiSted everywhere and is rec
ognized in every province with the excep-
ton of Bahia, from which reports come
of opposition to the new order of things.
Not life has been lost by the revolution
which has overturned the empire, and the
only violence ATTEMPTED was the shooting
of the imperial minister of marine, but his
wound is not fatal and he is now recover
ing. Business in Rio was suspended only
twenty-four hours, and an empire Was
destroyed and republic born almost
before the general public was aware that
anything unusual was going on.
The provisional government has an
nounced that all obligations incurred by
the empire, at home or abroad. will be
faithfully fulfilled by Athe republic. The
wrongs done by the ministry of Dom
Pedro will be righted by the new cabinet,
which is composed of men who have the
confidence of the people. The leaders in

patriotism and integrity. Fonsaca, the
president, is recognized as a brave soldier
and an honest citizen. Barbosa, the min
