ment has announced that 1t will firmly
maintain order. 1t is preparing circular
to the foreign governments relative to the
overthrow of the empire, which will be tele-
orauhed to them through the Brazilian rep
Tesentatives abroad. The province of
Bahia has signified its adherence to the
republic The news from the other prov
ipces shows that they are also in favor of
republican form of government.
Senor Patrioncino has been imprisoned

ALL THE NEW GOVERNORS SOLDIERS.
The governors named by the provisional
government are all military men.

NOTIFYING THE EMPEROR.
RIO DE JANEIRo, Nov. 49,, 3 A. M-The
city awoke on Friday to hear a republic
proclaimed Gen. da Fonseca, Senior Con-
slant and others, proceeded to Petropolis in
the morning and informed the emperor that
he had been dethroned. Dom Pedro, sup
ported by his family, received the deputa-
ton with absolute composure. Gen. da
Fonseca was the spokesman. He said that
Brazil had advanced far enough in the path
of civilization to dispense with monarchy.
The country, while grateful to the emperor
for his patriotic services, was firmly re-
solved to recognize only the republic.
THE EMPERoR's REPLY.
Dom Pedro made dignified reply. He
declined to abdicate, but said he would
yield to force. The imperial family were
allowed one hour to prepare for their depart
ure. Carriages, escorted by soldiers, were
waiting to take them to the outer harbor,
where man-of-war was lying under steam.
The captain had been instructed to sail as
soon as the imperial family had embarked.
He had received sealed orders instructing
him what route to take. 1t is supposed
that Lisbon is the destination of the vessel.
NO OPPOSITION TO THE CHANGE.
LONDON, Nov. 1S.-Dispatches received
here this afternoon from Rio Janejro reiter-
ate the statement previously telegraphed
that the proclamation of a republic met
with no opposition. The latest intelligence
received at Rio indicated that Bahia and
Pernambuco were in q state of tran
quillity. The people everywhere are so much
absorbed in the new order of things politi-
cally that business is completely stopped.
There is said to be considerable mystery at
Rio Janeiro in regard to the departure of
the emperor and his family. 1t is asserted
in some quarters that he has not yet left the
country.
THIS LOOKS OFFICIAL.
The Duke of Nemours, father of Count
d'Eeu, son-in-law of Dom Pedro, has tele.
graped to the queen at Balmoral that the
emperor and his family embarked at Rio
Janeiro without being subjected to any dis
agreeable experiences.
The British mail steamer Atrato, from
Montevideo for Southampton, is due at Rio
tomorrow, and some believe that the
steamer for Europe.
A TELEGRAPHIC CENSORSHIP.
Commercial dispatches are forwarded
from Brazil to foreign countries without
scrutiny or delays. All dispatches, how
ever, relating to the political situation or
giving any information in regard to the
new government have to be su uomitted to a
censor. The result of this is that the only
intelligence obtainable about the revolution

Is that which has met the approval of the
government censorship.
