DOM PEDRO DISEMBARKS.
He VIII Issue a Manifesto to the Bra
lillian People.
LISBON, Dec. THE Alagoas with Dom
Pedro on board arrived in the Tagus this morn
ing flying the old Brazilian flag and dropped
anchor. The ex-emperor and wife, the Compile
DEu and his wife, the ex-Crown Princess
Isabel, their children and the prince
of Saxe-Coburg, Dom Pedros other son-in-
law, landed Immediately at the naval
arsenal. Before they left the steamer she
was boarded by King Carlos, who extended a
warm welcome to the ex-emperor. Dom Pedro
is in excellent spirits and appears not to have
suffered by the recent events in Brazil. 1t is
said that he intends to issue manifesto to the
Brazilian people.
Baron de Loreto, who was the last minister
Of the interior under Dom Pedro, was also
aboard the Alagoas.
1t is learned from interviews with members
of Dom Pedro's party that he and his family
were at his summer residence at Petropolis
near Rio Janeiro, when the revolution occurred
Upon learning OF what had happened he at once
returned to Rio Janeiro and held meeting Of
his ministers and councillors of state He
tried to form q new ministry, with
Senior Harawa at its head, but to this
Gen. Da Fonseca objected, saying that re-
public had been declared and was supported
by the military; that the presence of the i'm
perial family in Brazil was incompatible with
the existing state of affairs and that they must
soon leave the country. The emperor, after
consulting with his friends, decided to agree
to the demands Of the republicans. No COM
munications were allowed to pass between Dom
Pedro and the foreign representatives.
HURRIED OFF. IN THE MONT.
At 2 o'clock the following morning Major
Tompofsci, with detachment of soldiers went
to the palace and placed the members Of the
imperial family under arrest while they were
still in bed. He bore written orders from Gen.
Da Fonseca that the emperor and his family
should embark forthwith. The government
would not allow them to wait until
daylight, as they feared that any demonstra-
ton in the streets in favor of Dom Pedro might
result in bloodshed. This measure was con-
sidered doubly necessary by the republican
leaders, as the students in the city were well
supplied with arms and were greatly excited
Count d'Eu and his wife, Princess Isabelle,
the emperor's daughter, and their children
were compelled to leave the palace at o'clock
Sunday morning and walk to the quay. Dom Pc
dro and the empress followed them imme-
diately in q carriage under escort of a body Of
troops. The imperial party embarked on a
steam launch and were taken to a man-of-war
which Immediately proceeded to Hha Grande
an island SO miles from Rio Janeir,, where the
party were kept as prisoners until the after
noon, when they were transferred to the
no LOT ar 1of cd fnr
Lisbon. The ironclad Riachuclo accompanied
the Alagoas to prevent the landing Of the
royal prisoners at Bahia or any other Brazilian
port
THE TEMPORARY CONSTITUTION.
The republican government of Brazil issued
a decree on November Is containing eleven
articles. 1t proclaimed q provisional federal
republic. The united provinces Of Brazil will
form the confederation and will elect its de-
Lucrative bodies and local governments. Until
the election Of the new legislators the provi-
sonal government will govern the coun-
try. The federal state governments will
Immediately adopt steps to secure the liberty
of citizens Of Brazil and foreign residents.
Where the means to maintain order are not
sufficient the authorities can appeal to the
public forces. The federal government being
be recognized until the nation expresses its
wishes by popular suffrage in this respect. The
army and navy will be subject exclusively to
the orders of the provisional government or
the provincial representatives. The civil and
military officials will be subordinate to the
central government. Rio Janeiro is consti-
tuted the provisional capital Of the confedera-
ton. The secretaries of state of the provis-
ional government are charged with the
execution Of the decree. The decree is signed
by Gen. Do Fonseca, presidents Loba, minister
of the interior; Barboza, minister Of finance;
Bocayura, minister of foreign affairs; Cantant,
minister of war, and Vanderholtz, minister of
marine.
IN THE EMPERoR's WORDS.
"The vessel upon which we were placed"
said the emperor, twas the Parnahyba. As
soon as we were on board she took her de-
parture for Ilha Grande. Upon our arrival
there, though the sea was rough, we we're
| transferred in small boats to the Alagoas.
| The empress was agitated and wept
continually. Her hands and wrists were hurt
as she was being hauled on board the AlagOas.
| l. myself was deeply affected and spent the time
watching the coast it gradually disappeared
| from view. When the shore line dropped be-
low the horizon let fly a carrier pigeon bear
| ing my farewell message to Brazil.
The ex-emperor eagerly questioned his inter
viewer about the news from Brazil which
had been published in Europe. He
was delighted upon learning that
the Brazilian flag was unchanged.
| 1t is Dom Pedro's intention to visit the opera
house tomorrow and hear the opera "Othello."
| He looks to be enjoying splendid health. The
empress appears frightened and dazed. When
King Carlos boarded the Alogoas he met Dom
Pedro at the top OF the stairs The dethroned
emperor and the king kissed heartily.
Few words passed between them and Brazil
! was not alluded to. The ex-empress said: Il
never will forgive those republicans for their
rough treatment Of me-"
