ments that the revolution in Brazil was
precipitated by the attempt of the Gov
ernment to remove disaffected troops
stationed at Rio de Janeiro to the
Provinces. The revolt was confined to
the military and students. General Da
Fonseca. the head of the Provisional
Government, in message gent by him to
Dom Pedro on November 10th, said:
1.-THE democratic sentiment Of the nation
combined with resentment at systematic
representative measures OF the Govern
ment against the army and navy, and the
spoliation of their rights, have brought
about revolution. In the face of this
situation the presence of the imperial
family in the country is impossible.
Yielding therefore to the exi gencies of
the natural voice, the Provisional Govern
ment is compelled to request you to
leave Brazilian territory with your family
within twenty-four hours. The country
expects that you will know how to
initiate the example set by the first En-
peror Of Brazil on April Z, 1881"
ANOTHER EXILE.
The order Of expulsion is extended to
Admiral Prince Augustus of Coburg,
commander of Brazilian ironclad which
is expected to reach European waters
shortly, via the Suez canal.
HOW THE OVERTHROW WAS ACCOMPLISHED.
Comte d'Eu, in an interview today on
the situation in Brazil, eaid the Republic
CANS there were few in number, but they
profited by The abolition Of slavery. The
Republicans pretended that the abolition
of slavery was entirely due to the throne.
Meanwhile the army had become tyran-
meal and iusolent, and the only means of
checking it was to revive the Garde Ma
tipnale, v hich has always been con-
servative body, the crown nominating
it's officers. The Government therefore
resolved to create regiment in Rio de
Janeiro, whereupon the Republicans
spread the report that the authorities in
tended to revive the Garde NatiQnale
generally, and to check and disarm the
regular army. The military thereupon
decided to revolt under the leadership Of
General Fonseca, who is weak man and
easily managed.
RESTORATION IMPROBABLE.
Regarding the prospect OF the restor.
alton of the Empire, Comte dEu said
Brazil was too far from Europe, and a
man was wanted who could bring the
army around to the Empire. If the EN-.
peror had appeared on the streets when
the rebellion broke out the crowd would
have cheered him. Now it was too late.
CENSORSHIP OF THE CABLES.
An Engliebman, the agent of an i'm.
portant English bank at Rio de Janeiro,
W ho was aboard the Atrato, said: "The
telegraph WAS seized no messages were
delivered, not even those addressed to
the British Consul. went to the con-
sulste at 10 O'Clock in the morning, and
was stopped by soldiers, Mr.. Nicolini,
the acting Britieh Consul, was stopped
also. We feared exchange would fall to
nothing, but the Provisional Government
notified the English bank managers that
if they allowed exchange to fall their
establishment would be suppressed.
COwARDICE OF THE MPERIAIIsrs.
"Nothing could exceed the feeling of
kindness which everyone, including the
provisional Ministers, entertained toward
the Emperor, but the cowardice of those
who ought to have resisted was con-
tempiible. The Weather classes we're
timorous rather than Indifferent. The
only possible eecessionist movement will
be from the Germans. The Government
has provided against the publication Of
any thing unfavorable to it, or disquiet-
ing. Even kilograms to foreign Ministers
were quietly suppressed. The Rio Legis-
lature on the 18th approved the recon-
struction of the constitution on the basis
of o thorough democracy. The same
day was public holiday throughout
Brazil"
SHOOTING OF THE MINISTER OF MARINE.
The Minister of Marine, at the head of
a small body of sailors and marines,
tried to suppress what he believed to be
revolt OF infantry at their barracks, but
the marines fraternized with the rebels,
who summoned this Minister to SUR
render. This he refused to do point
blank, and tried to draw his revolver.
The soldiers Immediately shot him down
in the presence of another General
standing at his side.
The disafected troops anticipated that
tho Government would move against
them, and at the head of two regiments
OF cavalry and a battery of artillery Da
Fonseca surrounded the Santa Ana bar
racks, where the Ministers had assem-
bled. The troops inside fra.ernized with
those outids. The barrack gates were
thrown open, and the Ministers wit
messed Da Fonseca's triumphant entry
and exit, saluted by the troops. With
the exception Of the foregoing incident,
this concluded the business.
BOGUS TELEaRAMs,
Telegrams were printed in the Rio pa-
pers to try and show that Europe was
approving the change of the regime. A
telegram dated London, November 10Th
from the Rothschilds to the Finance
Minister was published in English and
Portuguese. 1t expressed. the Roths-
childs' unfeigned satisfaction, with the
assurance to the Government that they
would adhere to all contracts and also
hoped that the Government would strain
every nerve to maintain the entire vast
dominions Of Brazil.
The C0mmercio d'Oporto publishes q
dispatch from Rio de Janeiro dated De-.
cember 9Th, which states that Barbosa,
Minister Of Finance, had resigned, and
had been replaced by Senator Saldanha
Marinha.
