u RIO DE JANE1Ro, Nov. 1s.-The United
States Of Brazil, constituting q federated
republic Of the different provinces of the
empire over which Dom Pedro ruled SO
long, Is an established government.
The new republic is acknowledged by
every province except Bahia in
the north. Dom Pedro is on his
way to Portugal, having accepted tho
situation with no attempt at forcible
resistance; the flag Of the republic has
been adopted and Brazil is as peaceful
to-day as though no thought Of revolu-
ton had ever aroused the feelings of the
people. The overthrow of the empire
has been accomplished without the loss
of q single life, and the new provisional
Government is proceeding with it's work
as methodically and peacefully as
though it had been in existence for
twenty years instead of hours.
Dom Pedro submitted to the terms i'm
posed on him by the new Government,
and agreed to leave the country within
twenty-four hours after he received the
notice at his summer. palace at Petropo-
lis. He was offered 81, SOC, 900 in cash
and provision for the rest of his life in
the form of an annual pension of $780,
600 which is to be provided for in the
civil list of the new republic; He
promptly accepted the offer and came to
Rio de Janeiro with his family Satur-
day night to embark for Liston.
The imperial family at 8 o'clock
Sunday morning boarded the Brazilian
gunboat Parnahyba, which was still fly
ing the imperial flag in the harbor. The
Parnahyba transferred the imperial par
ty to the Alegos, which steamed out of
the harbor Sunday forenoon con-
veyed by the cruiser Riachuelo and
the gunboat Parnahyba bound for Lis
bon. Dom Pedro and his family go into
perpetual exile, their absence from the
country being regarded by the leaders
of the republic as essential to the peace
and welfare of the new Government.
The new flag of the United States of
Brazil, which takes the place of the inn
perial emblem with its crown and coffee
leaf, is composed of green and gold
stripes with blue field, on which are
emblazoned nineteen stars To-day it
is hoisted every where and is recognized
in every province with the exception of
Bahia, from which reports come of OPP
position to the new order of things.
Not a life has been lost by the revolu-
ton which has overturned the empire,
and the only violence attempted was the
shooting of tho imperial Minister of
Marine, but his wound is not fatal and
he is now recovering. Business in Rio
was suspended only.
In twenty-four hours an empire was
destroyed and republic born almost
before the general public was aware
that any thing unusual was going on.
The provisional Government has an
nounced that all obligations incurred
by the empire at home or abroad will
be faithfully fulfilled by the republic.
Rio DE JANE1Ro, Nov. 1s.-The revo-
lutionary party has proclaimed a re-.
public, and a new Cabinet has been
formed under the Presidency of Senior
Dodoro da Fonseca, who will be Primo
Minister without portfolio. The
Chamber of Deputies has been dis
solved and the Council of State
abolished. It was reported tina t
Baron de la Rio, Minister Of
Marine, had been killed, but the
rumor was incorrect. He was shot by a
party of revolutionary soldiers and seri-
ously wounded, but will recover. With
the exception of the attempt to as
sassinate Baron de la Rio very little
disorder has accompanied the revolu-
ton, public opinion inclining toward
permitting a peaceful experiment with
the new Government. Business OF every
kind is suspended, but the city is quiet,
and with little excitement was caused
by the overturning of Dom Pedro's rule
is slowly subsiding.
The new Cabinet is composed as fol-
lows, the military having dictated its
makeup:
