WASHINGTON, D. G.. Nov. 15.-The mem
bers Of the Brazilian legation are still with
out information direct from their own coun-
try in regard to the situation of affairs there.
Secretary Blaine said this evening that he
had received only one dispatch from Rio
Janeiro, and that simply confirmed the press
dispatches. 1t stated, in substance, that the
army and navy were on the side of the insur-
gents; that a provincial government had
been formed and that the Emperor was a
prisoner in his palace.
A Brazilian, who is thoroughly con versant

and that the capital is in the hands of the
insurgents, but 1 do not believe that this new
government has come to stay. We need
more information about the personnel of the
newly proclaimed government to believe in
its permanency. I think it military move

old leaders in the movement, but there is not
one who is already recognized republican.
A popular movement in favor of a republic

warning. The last elections show that the
republican party returned only two members
and that the elections were fair and open.

republic. The insurgents have captured the
capital, the had of the nation and the navy,
and with them they control all means Of
