Wars with Paraguay and other countries

upon the resources of Brazil both in life
and treasure.
In the year of the settlement of peace
with Paraguay, Dom Pedro had the salts
faction of seeing great social reform eff
fected. A law was passed decreeing that
every child born of slaye parents should be
free. He also proclaimed the freedom of
all slaves belonging to the state or the inn
perial household, and provided an emanci-
patton fund to be annually applied to the
ransom of slaves owned by private indiyid-

TREATED CoURTEoUsLY.
LONDON, Specialize duke of Lemours,
father of Count D'Eu son-in-law of Dom
Pedro, the exiled emperor of Brazil, has
telegraphed to the queen at Balmoral that
the emperor and his family embarked at
Rio Janeiro without being subjected to any
disagreeable experiences. Dispatches re-
ceivsd here this afternoon from Rio
Janeiro reiterate the statement pre-
viously telegraphed that the formation of
the republic met with no opposition. The
latest intelligence received at Rio JaBeiro
indicated that Bahia and Pernambuco were
in state of tranquility. People everywhere
are so much absorbed in The new order of
things politically that bus1Tess is at COM
plete ssandstill. CommO cal dispatches
are forwarded from Brazil to foreign
countries without scrutiny or de-
lay. All dispatches, however, re-
lating to the political situation or
giving any information in regard to the new
government have to be submitted to the
censor. 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 the
commercial kilograms in cipher, is that
which has met the approval of the govern
ment censorship. A dispatch has been re-
ceiyed at the Brazilian legation here in
London from DIR. Barboza, the mini ster
finance of the new government, directing
the Brazilian minister to notify the London
stock exchange that all financial engage
| ments entered into by the imperial govern.
ment will be faithfully observed by the
republic. This dispatch, it is thought. will
| have reasSuring effect in commercial and
| financial circles. Banks and private finan-
ciers holding Brazilian bonds have largely
refused to sell. This action has prevented
| panic.
! REPORTS CONFIRMED.
| WASHINGTON, Special.--Senor Valent, the
Brazilian minister, this evening received
| two dispatches from Rio de Janeiro fully
confirming and oorroborating the news of
| the overthrow of Dom Pedro II. One of
the dispatches came from Bocayura, the
new minister of foreign affairs, and merely
announced the success of the revolution and
organization of the provisional republican
| government. The other, from Minister of
War Constant, announced the establishment
of the republican governments the foFma-
| ton of the new cabinet, and also that the
dethroned emperor has been directed to
leave the country. Everything in Rio, the
dispatches stated, was quiet and tranquil.
Senior Valento declined to state whether he
had been requested to resign or whether he
intended to resign, merely stating
that his resignation was a matter
! for future consideration. Among navy
officers no surprise was expressed at the
| news of the revolution. Commodore
Ramsay, chief of the bureau of navigation,
said that twenty years ago, when he was in
/ Brazil, there was a general feeling that
when Dom Pedro's reign ended a repub-
| hcan form of government would be in
| stituted. Lieut.. Barry, who only recently
returned from Brazil, says that the change
which has come to pass was openly talked
among Brazilians as probable to occur, and
they expected it any time. TIE the people
| of Brazil he said it could not appear to have
| been sudden.
NEWS AND COMMENTS.
COLOGNE, Special.-The Cologne Gazette,
| alluding to the German interests in Brazil,
says:
| A great part of the population of South
ern Brazil is faithfully attached to the faith
erland and cherishes German traditions. 1t
| is hardly likely that the republic will sue
| coed in saving this enormous state from
chaos. The political destiny of Southern
Brazil has special claims upon German

FORE seriously affect German relations with
| Brazil.
