ESPECIAL D1srA7UHrs TO THE HEooHD-Uuos.L

NEW YORK. November 16.h.-At the
office of the Brazilian Consul. General Sub
Chancellor Redman questioned the revolu
tjonary reports. He considers the fact sus
picious that the news comes just at the
right time, %itb favoring conditions, TO aiC
in the speculation of coffee and rubber.
Probably what occurred was a bloody
encounter between the students of the mil
itary and naval schools, who have Away:
been very jealous of each other, and seizt
every opportunity to fight. What confirms
this opinion is the shooting of the Minister
of the Navy. 1t is impossible that revo
luton overthrowing the Imperial Govern
ment could take place hardly one month
after the last general election, which re
suited IN an overwhelming and peaceful
victory of the Liberals over the UltraCon
servatives. The new Ministry and new
Parliament had majority Of three-fourth
of the total vote Of the country.
The Emperor may be said to be the frs
Liberal Of the country, and the Republi
cans are in a minority. Moreover, the new
Ministry is composed of the ablest men il
Brazil, the Premier especially being
statesman of the highest order, and is no
the man to weld to the rioters or step on
without fighting.
1t looks strongly like a coup de bourse
intended TO raise the price of rubber ant
coffee. The coffee crop will be short. Tn
production will be reduced by half, ant
this seems good time to wire such new
to New York.
IT APPEARS TO BE TRUE.
NEW YORK, November 16th.-A. H. Al
den, Secretary of the New York CONNER
cial Company received the following tele
gram this morning from his London cor
respondent "a Brazilian republic is prob
able. Exchange is declining. A peaceful
settlement is likely" The London CORE
spondents of the company are friends o
the Rothschilds, the London bankers of tn
Brazilian Government.
L. W. Murford d. Co. received the follow
ing from Rio de Janeiro: There has beer
a revolution in Brazil. The army ant
navy combined
The Brazilian or South American Agent
have received no further news. One of tn
South American steamers is due to arrlv,
Tuesday.
The excitement continues on the COFFEE
Exchange and trading is brisk, but price
have not gone as high as expected. Fifty
thousand bags of coffee sold at the Elk
change this morning before the marke
opened. Some lots sold at an advance o
forty points over yesterdays closing.
The following figures are given as show
ing the probable effect of Brazilian disord
ers on the trade in this country: Half o
our coffee, thirteen-sixteenths of our rub
Der, one-tenth of our sugar and consider
able percentage Of our hides come from
Brazil.
THE STORY CREDITED.
WASHINGTON. November 16th.-No fur
ther advices have been received at the
State Department relative to the outbreaks
in Brazil. The Navy Department has nc
advices at all on the subject, as the nearest
Unite States vessels are at Montevi6eo, on
the South Atlantic Station.
Inquiry at the Brazilian Legation also re.
ceived the same answer. The Brazilian
Minister is inclined 10 believe the report
true, and thinks it originated between
members of the army and navy, who took
advantage of the fact that so many promi.
nent leaders were out of the country, five
of them being here in attendance upon the
Maritime Conference and the Pan-Ameri-
can Congress.
The two delegates to the Maritime Con.
ference are from the Brazilian Navy, and
are undoubtedly leaders thereof, and the
Minister believes if they had been in
Brazil the revolution would have been
stopped before it got fairly started.
The National Bank of Brazil sends q
cablegram that the revolution was effected
quietly.
New York and Brazilian coffee houses
have been cabled that the army and navy
are for the Republic.
A Rio cablegram received at the Coffee
Exchange this afternoon SAYS that the con-
dition is critical; the Emperor is deposed.
REPUBLIC PROCLAIMED.
LONDON, November 16th.-A dispatch
received this morning concerning the revo-
luton in Brazil denies that the Minister of
Marine was killed. He was shot and
seriously wounded, however, by the revo-
lutionisis.
a later dispatch from Rio reports that a
republic has been proclaimed with Senior
da Fonseca as President The Imperial
Ministers have been placed under arrest
and kept in close confinement. The Pro-
visional Government has guaranteed protec-
ton to members of the imperial family.
The Emperor is at his summer palace at
Petropolis. twenty five miles north of Rio.
All business in the city is suspended.
There is no danger to life or property.
Brazilian securities fell three points on
the London Stock Exchange to-day.
CAUSE OF THE OVERTHROW.
New York, November 16th.-A Post 5
Washington special says: From gentlemen
intimately acquainted with Brazilian poll
tics it is learned the revolution in Brazil
was purely military and only formidable
from the lack of troops outside of Rio TO
bring against the revoluionists. The force
in Rio is about 5000. There are not more
than 10000 in addition, and they are scat
tered all over the empire.
. L.. e IL
revolution, was accused OF INSTRUMENTATION
last July. and the Minister of War pro-
posed to have him Court-martialed, but the
Emperor forbade it. If the whole force in
Rio are of one mind. things can be carried
with high hand. Parliament is to meet
next Wednesday. Many Senators and
Deputies are already IN the city. If they
agree 10 recognize the new Government,
Dom PeGro's abdication may be looked for.
If they 90 not. they will have to go to jail.
The revolutionists control the cable, and
definite news may not be received for
several DAYS. The revolution comes as q
great surprise No financial troubles exist.
The August elections were peaceful. The
Liberal Cabinet proposed popular meas
ares and the Emperor is universally liked.
The coup de main may affect the status of
the Brazilian delegates to the Pan-Ameri-
can congress.
