WASHINGTON Nov. 15.--The Brazilian
minister said this evening that he had re-
ceived no information from his govern
ment in regard to the reported revolution
in Brazil but he had heard from q third
party intelligence of the same purport as
that contained In the cable message to New
York. The minister said that since
he left BraziIle he had heard considerable
about the great strength OF the Republi-
can party in Brazil. but in his opinion ats
strength was overrated in this
country. He did not think 1t
at all probable the situation
had taken the turn indicated by the cable
gram. There may have been some minis
terial trouble which had given rise to re-
ports of q revolution.
A correspondent called on the minister
again at midnight with /. report
that the Brazilian minister of marine
had been killed in the revolu-
ton. The minister refused to believe
it. He said the Republican party, to which
the revolt il ascribed, could not have
grown so large as 10 bring about 3 revolu-
ton. At the last election not q single
member of that party was chosen on the
first ballot, and on the second only
two or three were elected from a single
province. That election was entirely
free and open. A revolution. he said. could
not have occurred in so tree country
as Brazil without some premonitions.
There is nothing in the last papers received
which gives any intimation of what is re-
ported 10 have occurad. and there
no reason why revolution
should have taken place, Brazille is q
free country and there IL
a perfect guarantee of the rights
of everybody in their persons
and prosperity A revolution against q
government a. free Is Brazil seems so alb
surd that the minister cannot believe it.
Baron de Ia Dario, the minister reported
killed, was well known in the United
States navy thirty years ago. he having
been sent here for that purpose by the
Brazilian government.
