WASHINGTON, Nov. IG.-The only in
forma tion received by the Department
OF State in regard 10 the trouble in Bra
zil is a short cablegram stating that a
revolution had taken place and that the
Minister OF Marine had been shot.
On the 22d of October last attention
was drawn to the rapid spread of repub-
licanism in Brazil. In public address
at Pernambuco about two months ago
the Count d En-, who is generalissimo
of the army and husband OF the crown
Princess, solemnly declared, on behalf
OF his father-in-law, Dom Pedro, and in
the name of mis- wife and children, that
the entire imperial family was prepared
TO surrender the throne and leave Brazil
as soon as the Nation had by popular
vote expressed it's desire 70 form re-
public. The Republican party is COM
posed OF all the former conserva-
tives. All the great landed proprietcrs,
manufacturers and directors of indus
trial enterprises belong thereto. The
monarchial party is exceedingly small
in number and restricted in influence.
1t is composed almost entirely of Gov
ernment functionaries and freed slaves.
New YoHK, Nov ia. III. Alden,
score tary of the Now York Commercial
Company Qimited), states that he has
received the following cable dispatch
from the London cores spondents of his
company:
Brazilian Republic probable. Exchange de-
cnning. Peaceful settlement likely"
The report of a revolution in Brazil,
followed by a report of another in Ven
ezuela, caused a vast amount OF
excitement among downtown mer-
chants engaged in the South
American trade. A great crowd
gathered in the coffee exchange.
At the call prices advanced little. The
first four lots Of 1000 bags Of December
were sold at 1850, an advance
| of Is 70 90 points over Friday
figures. A fall from 1850 to
1850 took place. January opened
from TO 10 points above Friday
nights figure. March, April and May
acted in sympathy. June, July and
August were neglected at the opening
call, while September advanced 25 TO 80
points. Fifteen thousand bags were
sold on the first call.
IF the report is true" said one gen.
tleman, coffee is likely TO advance to
hitherto unheard of figures. and when
quiet is again restored in Brazil the
enormous shipments are likely to cause
panic
In speaking Of the possible conse-
auences Of the revolution upon Ameri-
can trade, one OF the best known mer-
7 chants OF this city. who imports largely
from Brazil, said that they might be
serious. He said
