Similar dispatches were also received
by Arbuckle Bros. and Joseph j
| O'Donohue q Sons. These dfspatche.
were received about O'Clock, Just after
the coffee exchange had closed for ths
day. The reports came like q clap oI
thunder to coffee dealers throughout The
city, who were made acquainted with
them tonight, and are likely to cause
SERIOUS Trouble
On the exchange If confirmed. While
the dealers generally spoke In q hope.
fnl strain, they exhibited signs of un-
\ easiness.
"This is the first intimation we have
had of any trouble of any kind in Bra.
\ I'll for a year." said Mr.. ]. j.. O,Dono.
hue tonight. 1--WE received informa.
ton about q year ago In our correspon.
dence from Brazil Of rumored upris-
ing of the slaves in various parts of that
country; but nothing more was ever
heard of 1t, and since then the news
from Rio de Janeiro has been of a. most
cheerful character. Money on the
y Brazilian exchange has been at par fol
more than a year past, something that
had hardly been known in the history
of the country for years past. The
Coffee exchange closed this afternoon
with coffee strong at 15.46c bid, only q
few moments before the dispatches
were received. The new coffee crop in
Brazil is almost ready to be harvested,
and the supply on the market here is
consequently limited. If revolution
has broke out and the ports of RIO de
Janeiro and Santos are blockaded, rs
per cent. of the coffee supply of this
country will be cut off. This will be
productive of very
SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES
Throughout the country. When con.
firmation of the report is received at
the exchange tomorrow from London,
there is likely to be an unheard of scene
on the floor.
Mr.. William n. Crossman, of, Cross
man Bros, had not received q dispatch.
but had information through correspon-
dence from Brazil at very recent date,
which gave no hint of even an anticipa-
lStion Of trouble in that country.
IF the report Is true,n said that gen.
tleman, coffee is likely to advance to
hitherto unheard of figures, and when
quiet is again restored to Brazil the
enormous shipments are likely to
CAUSE A PANIC.
The blockading of Brazilian ports at
tending q revolution in that county
will result in the cutting off of more
than three fourths of the entire India
rubber supply ofthis country, and COM
pei the shutting down Of nearly all the
immense rubber goods manufacturing
concerns in the United States, as the
supply on hand at. present is not suf-
ficient to last two weeks.

New York, Nov. 18.--A special to
the Times from Rio Janeiro dated the
1 18th says:
The United States of Brazil, constitu-
ting federated republic of the differ
ent provinces of the empire over which
Dom Pedro had ruled 80 long, Is an es-
tablished government. The new repub-
lic Is to-day acknowleded by every pro-
vince except Bahia, in the north. Dom
Pedro Is on his way to portugal, hav-
Lhg accepted the situation with no at
tempt at forcible resistance: the flag of
the new republic has been adopted, and
Brazil is as peaceful to-day as though
no thought of revolution had ever
aroused the feelings of her people.
The overthrow of the empire has been
accomplished without the sacrifice of a |
single life and the new provisional |
government is proceeding with its work
as methodically and peacefully as
Though 1T had been in existanca for /
