REVOLUTION IN BRAZIL.
THE FORMATION OF A REPUBLIC
THE OBJECT.

The Cabinet Resigns Dut one or the
Ministers Reported Shot-The Army
Reported in Control at Rio Janeiro-
Rig Sensation Certain on the Cot
ton Exchange.
NEw York, Nov. 15.-Charles r. Flint
& Co received the following cablegram
late this afternoon, dated at Rio Janeiro:
"a revolution has broken out here. The
BRAZILIAN armies are in control. The min
;strv has resigned. The revolution is for
the nurpose of forming republic"
Hard & Rand received the following from
Rio Janeiro:
Pavolution has broken out here. The Brazil
on armies are in control. The ministry has
RESIGNED A minister has been Shot 1t is an
attempt to establish republic.
Similar dispatches were received by Ar
buckle Bros. and Joseph J. O'Donohue &
Sons.
CAME LIKE CLAP OF THUNDER.
These dispatches were received about
o'clock. lust after the coffee exchange had
closed for the day. The reports came like
clap of thunder to the coffee dealers
throughout the city who were made
acquainted with them tonight, and are
likely to cause serious trouble on the ex-
change if confirmed. While dealers gener-
ally spoke in a hopeful strain, they ex-
bibited signs of uneasiness.
UGLY RUMoRs AFLoAT A YEAR AGO.
"This is the first intimation we have had
of any trouble of any kind in Brazil for a
year" said ]. J. Donohue tonight. "We
received information about year ago in
our correspondence from Brazil of q
rumored uprising Of slaves in various parts
of that country, but nothing more was ever
heard of it, and since then the news from
Rio de Janeiro has been of a most cheerful
character. Money on the Brazilian ex-
change has been at par for more than a
wear past, something that had hardly been
known in the history of the country for
years past
EFFECT ON THE COFFEE MARKET.
"The coffee exchange closed this afternoon
with coffee strong at 1916 bid, only a few
moments before the dispatches were re-
ceived. The new coffee crop in Brazil is
almost ready to be harvested and
the supply on the market here is conse-
quently limited. If revolution has broken
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 coun-
try. When confirmation of the report is
read at tie exchange tomorrow from
London there is likely to be an unheard of
scene on the floor"
NO PREVIOUS INTIMATIoN.
William H. Crossman, of Crossman Bros.
had not received dispatch, but informa-
ton through correspondence from Brazil at
a very recent date, which gave no hint of
even an anticipation of trouble in that coun-
try. "If the report is true" said that
gentleman, "coffee is likely to advance to
hitherto unheard of figures, and when quiet
s. In chi
ments are likely to cause panic"
Blockading Brazilian ports attending a
revolution in that country, will result in
cutting off more than three-fourthS of the
entire India rubber supply.
WHAT THE BRAZILIAN MINISTER SAYS,
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15-The report that
In the Brazilian revolution Baron Ladario,
minister of the navy had been killed, was
shown to the Brazilian minister at mid
night. He was surprised at the intelligence,
and upon being asked if there were any
reasons why Minister Ladario should have
been an especial object Of attack on the
part of the revolutionists, said that he was
utterly unable to account for it, and could
not believe the reports Of the revolution
we're true.
WEAKNESS OF THE REPUBLICANS.
BE added: "The republican party, tc
which the revolt is ascribed, could not have
grown so large as to bring about revolu-
tion. At the last election not q single
member of that party was chosen on the
first ballot, and on the second ballot only
two or three were elected from a single
province. That election was entirely free
and open; there was no interference on the
part of the government, no dismissals, and
no attempt to coerce the voters. Revolu-
tlon could not have occurred in 50 free q
country as Brazil without some Fremont
tions.
NOT HINTED OF IN BRAZILIAN PAPERS.
The last steamer brought me papers
which were lying on table before the
mlnlster aud there is nothing In them
which gives any Intimation of what is re-
ported to have occurred. There is no
reason why revolution should have
taken place. Brazil is free country
and there is perfect guarantee
OF the rights Of everybody in their persons
and property. Our press is as free as is
any press in the world There has been moi
single word of complaint against the new
government which has come into power
the government that was to make most
liberal reforms, II there were any reforms
yet needed in Brazil.
NO KNOWN CAUSE.
"A revolution of the character of a re-
publican revolution in a country like Bra
I'll, must have some cause, and we know of
none A revolution against despotic gov
ernment might be expected, but one
against government as free as ours, is alb
SSard, SO absurd that we cannot believe it,
II seems to us as impossible as revolution
IN this country"
LoNDON'S ADvICES.
LONDON, Nov. Is. Later dispatches
from Rio Janeiro fully confirm the previous
reports. The revolution aims at the over
throw Of the government, and the proca
nation of a republic. The army supports
.ne government A provisional govern
I1ent has been established, including Seniors
"a tonseca and Benjamin Constant. Among
Sle dispatches received, but not yet off
glaily confirmed, is one stating that Baron
Lieetdario, the minister of marine, has beer
