DOM PEDRo's EXPULSION.
General Da Fonseca, Sefior Constant
and others proceeded to Petropolis. FRI
day morning. and informed the Emperor
that he had been dethroned. Dom Pedro,
supported by his family, received the
deputation with absolute compoaure.
General Da Fonseca was the spokesman.
He said that Brazil had ad-
vanced far enough in the path of civili-
zation to dispense with the monarchy.
The country; while grateful to the EN-.
peror for his patriotic services, was
firmly resolved to recognize only re-
public. Dom Pedro made dignified re-
ply. He declined to abdicate, but said
he would yield to force. The imperial
family was allowed one hour to prepare
for their departure.
PRESS REPORTS OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED.
WASHINGTON, November 1S.-The Bra.
lillian Minister tonight received two tele.
grams FROM Brazil, one from the Minis
ter OF Foreign Affairs, and the other from
the Minister OF Finance. They were
simply confrmatory of the press reports.
DR.. Valente, the Brazilian Minister, to.
night denied the truth Of the reports
that he had resigned.
THE PRESENT LEADERS INCOMPETENT.
In conversation today, prominent
citizen of Brazil said he was convinced |
that the men who lead the revolution |
could not retain their leadership. They
are unknown to fame and without fol- |
lowers in their own country. There |
were two courses open to the revolution !
lists. Thsy might perceive their own
weakness and call convention which |
would bring together the really represen-
tative men of the country, and this con-
vention would naturally consider the
problem of providing satisfactory form
of government and settle the question as
TO whether Brazil is yet ready for re-
public or whether the Imperial family |
had better be recalled. II the present
leaders refuse to adopt this course, then
they would be obliged to assume more
and more arbitrarily the direction of
affairs, and the result would be q dictator |
ship.
VIENNA, November 18-The Brazilian |
Minister states that General Fonseca,
when entrusted with the command of |
the garrison at Rio Jaueiro, became fired |
by the example set by Boulanger, and |
conceived the idea of securing the |
government. He has since been plot |
ting and the revolution is the result.
GERMANY HAS FINGER IN THE PIE.
COLOGNE, November 1S..-The Cologne
Gazette, alluding to German interests in |
Brazil, says: ga great part OF the pop
ulstion of Southern Brazil is faithfully |
attached to the Fatherland and cherishes
German traditions. 1t is hardly likely
that the republic will succeed in saving
this enormous state from chaos. The
political destiny of Southern Brazil has
claims upon German interests and sym
pathies. 1t may therefore seriously af-
feet German relations with Brazil"
TRANQUILITY PREVAILS.
LONDON, November 1S.-The new Bra
lillian Minister of Finance has tele-
praphed to the Brazilian Minister here
to the following effect: The Govern
ment is constituted as the United States
of Brazil The Monarchy ID deposed
and Dom Pedro and family have left the
country. The provinces have signi6ed
their adhesion to the Government.
Tranquility and general satisfaction pre-
walls. The republic will strictly respect
all State engagements, obligations and
contracts.
