TROUBLE IN BRAZIL.
Outbreak of a Revolution to
Overthrow the Empire
of Brazil.
Attempt to Establish a Repub-
lican Government in Dom
PedrO's Domain.

has recently been strongly fomented, and is
the sole cause of the rising. Up to the pres
ent hour however, there is little informa-
ton of n tangible character. The announce
ment is made that the Brazilian ministers
have rendered their designations, and that
the situation is controlled by the army.
TIE REPORTS CONFIRMED.
Later dispatches from Rio Janeiro fully
confirm the previous reports. The revolu-
ton aims at the overthrow of the govern
ment and the proclamation Of the republic.
The army supports the movement. pro-
visiOnal government has been established,
| including Seniors Da Fonseca and Benjan-
min Constant. Among the dispatches re-
ceivCd, but not yet officially confirmed, is
one stating that Baron Ladario, the minis
ter of marine, has been killed.
MINISTERIAL TROUBLE.
| WAsHINGToN, SpeCial.-Thc Brazilian min
| lister said this evening that he had received
no information from his government with
regard to the reported revolution in Brazil.
Since he had left Brazil in July last he had
| heard considerable about the great strength
ofthc Republican party there but in his
| opinion its strength was greatly Overrated
III this country. At the last election, which
was perfectly free and open, only few Re
publicans were returned. While it was pos
sible that great changes had taken place in
| the affairs in Brazil in the last three or four
months, he did not think it probable that
the situation had taken the turn indicated
by the cablegrams. There might, he
thought, have been some ministerial trouble
which had given rise to the reports of rev.
OlutiOn,
| MINISTER OF MARINE KILLED.
A dispatch was received at the state de-
partment from Consul General Dockery, at
| Rio De Janeiro, announcing the outbreak
of a revolution against the Brazilian gov
ernment, and that the minister of marine
had been killed. The report that Baron
Ladario, the minister of the navy, had
been killed, was shown to the brazilian
minister at midnight. He was surprised at
the intelligence, and upon being asked if
there were any reasons why Minister La
dario should have been an especial object
of attack on the part of the revOlutiOnists,
said that he was utterly unable to aGs
count for it, and could not believe the
reports of the revolution were true. He
added: The Republican party, to which
the revolt is ascribed, could not have
grown so large as to bring about a revOlu-
ton. At the last election not single
member of that party was chosen on the
first ballot, and on the second ballot
only two or three were elected from
a single province. That election was
entirely free and open; there was no
interference on the part of the government,
no dismissals, no attempts to coerce the
voters. A revolution could not have oc-
Cured in so free country as Brazil with
out some premOnitions The last steamer
brought me papers, and there is nothing in
them which gives any intimation of what
is reported to have occurred. There is no
reason why a revolution should have taken
place. Brazil
Is A FREE COUNTRY
and there is perfect guarantee of the rights
of everybody in their persons and property.
Our press is as free as any press in the
world. There has been not single word
of complaint against the new government
which has come into power-a govern
ment that was to make the most
liberal reforms if there were any
reforms yet needed in Brazil. A revolution
of the character of a republican revolution
J in country like Brazil must have some
: cause, and we know of none A revolution
against despOtic government might be ex
pcCted, but one against government as
tree as ours is absurd, so absurd that we
can not believe it. 1t seems to us as i'm,
possible as a revolution in this country
The minister sBid that Baron Ladario is 6
gentleman of intelligence and ability. His
{ name is Jose Da Costa AyevedO. He is
t quite we'll known in the United States, anJ
has served in our navy. He began his naval
( career as an officer in the United States
navy about thirty years ago, it being
the custom of Brazil to send hel
young men to the gvernments of the
United StBtcs and Europe to fit them fol
, , service in the navy of their own govern
= ment. He returned to Brazil and followed
1 his career with great success, his intelligence
and energy securing him high rank in the
Brazilian navy and resulting not long ago
i in his selection as a member Of the cabinet
He came to the United States during the
centennial exposition of 1876, and was in
command of the Brazilian corvette Nichthe
roy. His is about tifty-two or fifty-foul
years of age.
NEW YORK SURPRISED.
New YORK, Special.-Dispatches telling
of a revolution in Brazil were received JUS

. day. The reports came like clap of thun
8 der to coffee dealers throughout the city
;; who were made acquainted will
2 them tonight, and are likely t.
8 cause serious trouble on the exchange i

signs of uneasiness. ''This is the first init
nation we have had of any trouble of an,
: kind in Brazil for year" said J. J. O'Dop
