of hats and handkerchiefs, and cheers
from many throats, Admiral John G.
Walker and his squadron, comprising
the ships Chicago, Boston, Atlanta and
Yorktown, with bunting flying and
all the gay panoply of war, sailed

PENSION VIII be Paid Him-The Flag
OF the United States of Brazil Flung to
the Breeze. .f7,
NEW YORK, Nov. 1S-A special to the
Times from Rio de Janeiro, dated the
18th, says: ''The United States of
Brazil, constituting federated repub-
lie OF the different provinces Of the
empire over which Dom Pedro had ruled
SO long, is an established government.
The new republic is to-day acknowl-
edged by every province except Bahia,
in the north. Dom Pedro in on his way
70 Portugal, having accepted the situa-
ton with no attempt at forcible re-
sistance. The flag of the new republic
has Deen adopted, and Brazil is as peace
ful to-day as though no thought of
revolution had ever aroused the feelings
of her people. r
The overthrow of the empire has been
accomplished without the sacrifice of a
single life, and the provisional govern
ment is proceeding with its work as
methodically and peacefully as though
it had been in existence for years in
stead of hours.
Dom Pedro submitted to the terms inn
posed on him by the new government
and agreed to leave the country within
twcnty-four hours after he had received
the notice at his summer palace at Pc
tropolis. He was offered $500, 900 in
cash and provision for the rest of his
life in the form of an annual pension of
$3.50, 600, which is to be provided for
in the civic list of the new Repub-
lie. He promptly accepted the Of
fer and came to Rio dc Ja-
metro with his family last night to en-
bark for Lisbon. The imperial family
at three o'clock this morning boarded
the Brazilian gunboat Paranhyba, which
was still flying the imperial flag in tho
harbor. The Paranhyba transferred
the imperial party to the Alagoah, which
steamed out of the harbor this morning,
conveyed by the cruiser Riachuelo and
the gunboat Paranhyba, bound for Lis
bon. Dom Pedro and his family go into
perpetual exile, their absence from the
country being regarded by the leaders
of the republic 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 i'm
perial emblem, with it's crown and cof-
fee leaf, is composed of green and gold
stripes, with blue field, on which are
emblazoned nineteen stars. No lives
have been lost in the revolution and the
only violence attempted was the shoot
ing of the Imperial Minister of Marine,
who is now recovering. Business IN RIO
was suspended only twentyfour
hours, and an empire was destroyed
and republic born almost before
the general public was aware that any
thing was going on. The new Cabinet
is composed of men who have the conf
dence of the people. The leaders are
representative Brazilians. President
Fonseca is recognized as brave soldier
and honest citizen. Barbazo, Minister
of Finance, is able and honest, though
poor. Bocayuva, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, is journalist, an ardent repub-
lican and popular leader.
LONDON, Nov. 1S.-Brazilian securi-
ties have further declined five per cent,
and it is with great difficulty that pur-
chasers can be found for them.
