Emperor Dom Pedro Accepts @S,oOO'OOO
in Cash and an Annuity.
NFw YoRK. November 1Sth.-The Times
Rio de JaneIro cable says: The flag Of the
new republic has been adopted. The over
throw of the empire was accomplished
without the sacrifice of single life, and
the new Provisional Government is pro-
ceeding with its work as methodically and
peacefully as though it had been in exist
ence years.
Dom Pedro was offered 81 100000 in cash
and provision for the rest of his life in the
form of an annual pension of $780, 900, to
be provided for in the civil list of the new
republic.
He promptly accepted the offer and came
to Rio de JaneirO with his family TO en-
bark for Lisbon. Dom Pedro and family
go into perpetual exile, their absence being
regarded by the leaders of the republic as
essential 10 the peace and welfare OF the
new Government.
The new flag of the United States Of
Brazil, which takes the place of the impe-
rial emblem of the crown and coffee leaf, is
composed OF green and gold stripes, with a
blue field on which are emblaz)ned nine
teen stars. Il is hoisted everywhere and
recognized in every province, with the ex-
caption of Bahia
The only violence attempted was the
shooting of the Minister of Marine. His
wound was not fatal, and he IS now recoy-
ing.
Business in Rio was suspended for only
twenty-four hours, and AZ Empire was de-
stroyed and a Republic born almost before
the general public was aware that anything
unusual was going on. The wrongs done
By the Ministry of Dom Pedro will be
righted by the new Cabinet, which is COM
-, > Erlo Of
the people.
The leaGers il. control of the Provisional
Government are representative Brazilians,
who are known for their patriotism and in
tegrity. Fonseca, the President, is recog-
nized as a brave soldier and an honest citi-
zen Barbosa Minister of Finance, is able
and honest though poor. Bocaguva, the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, is journalist,
an ardent Republican, and popular leader
NO OFFICIAL NEWS.
WAsHIEGroY, November 16th.-Nothing
has been received ct the Stale Department
to-day concerning the revolution in Brazil.
The failure to receive additional informa-
ton leads the Department officials to think
the cables have been seized. Among naval
officers no surprise was expressed at the
news of the revolution. 1t is said that
twenty years ago there was a general feel
ing that, when Dom Pedro's reign ended,
q republican form of government would be
instituted. Lieutenant Barry, who re-
Gently returned from Brazil, says the
change which has come to pass was openly
talked of among BraZilians as probable to
occur. They expected ii at any time. To
people of Brazil, he said, it could not ap-
pear 10 have been sudden.
At the Maritime Conference to-day Ad-
miral Wei. of Chile, announced that he
had been requested by Captains Cana and
Murich, delegates from Brazil, to say that
in view of The present condition of affairs
in their country, they would not longer sit
in the conference.
A TELEGRAPHIC CENSOR.
LONDON. November 1Sth.-Dispatches re-
ceived here this afternoon from Rio Janeiro
reiterate the statement that the proclsma-
ton of the Republic met with no opposi-
ton. The latest intelligence received at
Rio Ianeiro indicated that Bahia and Per-
uambuco.were in state of tranquility.
People everywhere are so much absorbed
in the new order of things politically that
business is at q complete standstill.
There is said TO be considerable mystery
at Rio Janeiro in regard to the departure of
the Emperor and his family. 1t is asserted
in some quarters that he has not yet left
the country. The British mail steamer
Atrate from Monteyideo for Southampton,
is due at Rio to morrow. and some believe
the Imperial party will take passage Cd
that steamer for Europe. Commercial dis
patches are forwarded from Brazil to for
eien countries without scrutiny or delay.
All dispatches, however, relating TO the
political situation or giving any informa
ton in regard 10 the new Government have
to be submitted to Censor. The result is
that the only intelligence about the Tevolu-
ton which has reached the outside world,
except the very mesger facts that have got
through in commercial telegramsin cipher,
is that which has the approval OF the Gov
eminent Censorship.
A dispatch has been received at the Bra
lillian Delegation here in London from DR..
Barbosa, Minister OF Finance of the new
Government. directing the Brazilian Min
istTy to notify the London Stock Exchange
that all financial engagements entered into
by the Imperial Government will be faith
fully observed by the Republic.

Rev DR.. Chamberlain, who has been a
missionary in Brazil for twenty seven

the credit for he Act which finally eman-
cipated the slaves while the Act was really
in Difference T. general public opinion.
