General da Fcnseca, Senator Constant

morning and informed the emperor he was
dethroned. Dom Pedro. supported BY bis
family, received the depufation
with absolute composure. General
da Fonseca was spokesman. He said !:
Brazil had advanced far enough in the path
of civilization TO dispense with the mon-
arcky. The country. while grateful to the
emperor for bis patriotic services, was
firmly resolved 70 recognize only only re-
public
Dom Pedro made dignified reply. He
refused TO abdicate. bat said he would
yield 10 force. The imperial family were

WASHINGTON, Nov. fs.--The Brazilian
minister tonight received swo kilograms
from Brazil. one from the minister OF for
eign affairs and the other from the minis
ter of finance. They were simply confirm
atory Of the press reports. DR.. Valent,
Brazilian minister, tonight denied the
truth OF reports that he had resigned.

MAINTAIN order. II is preparing circular
70 foreign governments relative to the
overthrow OF the empire, Which viii be tel
egraphed to them through the Brazilian
representatives abroad. The province Of
Bahia has signified its adherence TO the
republic. News from the other provinces
shows that they are also in favor of re-
publican form Of government.
LONDON, Nov. lS.--Dispatches received
here this afternoon from Bio Janeiro reit-
crate the statement that the proelama-
ton OF the republic met with no oppusi-
ton. ghe latest intelligence received at
Rio Janeiro indicated that Bahia and Per-
nambuco were in state OF revolution.
People everywhere are so much absorbed
in the new order of things that politically
speaking, business Is at complete stand
stilI.
There is said to be considerable mystery
at Rio Janeiro in regard TO the departure
cf the emperor and his family. II is as
asserted in some quarters that he has not
yet left the country. The British mail
steamer Atriate, from Montevideo for
Southampton. Is due 81 Rio tomorrow. and
some believe the imperial party viii take
passage upon that steamer for Europe.
Commercial dispatches are forwarded
from Brazil TO foreign countries without
delay. All dispatches, however, relating
to the political situation, or giving any I'M
formation relating to the next government,
have TO be submitted 10 acensor.t The result
OF this is that the only intelligence about the
revolution which has reached the outside
world, except the very meager facts that
have got through in commercial tele-
grams in cipher, Is that which met the APP
provAl Of the government censor.
A dispatch has been received at the Bra
lillian legation here in London from Dir.
Barboa saying the minister OF finance
of the new government had ui-
reeted the Brazilian minister 10 notify the
London Stock Exchange that all financial
engagements entered into by the imperial
government will be faithfully observed By
the republic. Brazilian securities fell per
cent. today. 1t is difticait 10 effect trans
actions.
wAsHISsTox, Nov. Is-There was no
news ct the Brazilian ministry today con-
corning the recent revolution in Brazil. Ii
is apparent. however. that the Brazilian
officials hare have become finally con-
vineed that the empire has been over
thrown.
In conversation today q prominent citi-
gen OF Brazil said he was convinced the
men who led the revolution could not re-
tain their leadership. They are unknown
10 fame and without followers in their own
country. There we're two sources open TO
the revolutionista. They might perceive
their own weakness and call 8 eonykntion.
which would bring together the really rep
reseniAtiYe men Of the country. aud this
convention would naturally consider the
problem OF providing satisfactory form
Of government, aud settle tho question a.
- whether BRAID Is yet ready for the re-
public. or whether the imperial family
would better be recalled. Ii the present
leaders refuse 30 adopt this coarse, then
they wcala be obliged 10 assume more and
more arbitrary direction Of affairs, and the
result would be q dictatorship.
Among navy officers no surprise was ex-
pressed 81 news OF the revolution. One
