A REVOLUTION IN BRAZIL.
The People Reported tob Striving to Form
10 Republic.


NEw yoRK, Nov. ia private cable
gram received this evening dated Rio Jan
Zero, says; ~ revolution has broken out
here. The Brazilian armies are in control
and the ministry has resigned. The revo-
luton Is for the purpose Of forming a re-
public"
Messrs. Hard and Rand have received the
following from lilo Janeiro: "A revolution
has broken out here. The Brazilian armies
are in control and the ministry has resigned.
The minister was ahot who lead the attempt
10 establish republic. Dispatches were
also received by Arbuckle Bros. and Joseph
j. ODonohue a Sons. These dispatches
were received just after the coffee exchanges
closed for the day. The reports came like
clap of thunder 10 the coffee dealers
throughout the city, who were made nc
quainted with them tonight, and are likely
30 cause serious trouble on the exchanges
II confirmed. While dealers generally speak
In hopeful strain, they exhibited signs Of
nneasiness. William II. Crossman, Of
Crossman Bros, who had receiveh no dis
patch but had correspondence from Brazil
nj very recent date, which gave no hint of
oven anticipated trouble in that country
said; III the report Is true. coifees are liza
BILE 10 advance 10 nm unheard of figure and
when quiet IL again restored in Brazil enor-
nous shipments are likely 10 cause panic.
The blocknding Of Brazilian ports attend
ing revolution in the country will result
in the cutting of of more than three
fourths Of the entire lndin rubber supply Of
this country"
WAInSoT0H, Nov. l5.-'rhe Brazilian
mininister said this evening he had received
no Information from his government in re-
fuF 4. IN hf ...I
but he hnd from third party intelligence
OF the snne purport as that contained in
the cable message 20 New York. The min
ister's aid since he left lRruzil on July q had
heard considerable about the great strength
Of the republican party in Brazil but in his
opinion its strength WIS ovOrrated in this
country. He didn't think IL at all probable
the situation bnd taken the turn indicated
by the cablegram. There might have been
some ministerial trouble which had given
rise 60 reports Of a revolution.
A correspondent called on the minister
again nt midnight, with the report that the
brazilian minister of marine had been
killed in the revolt. The minister refused
20 believe IL. lie said the republican party.
10 which revolt IL ascribed, could not have
grown 80 large as to bring about revolu-
ton. Al the last election not single mem.
ber of that party was chosen on the first
bhil't' huu VII tnt htcbuu Only Two OF tnfee
were elected from single province. That
election was entirely free and open.
The revolution, he said. could not
have occurred IN 40 free country as
ltfnzll without some premonitions. There
~ nothing IN the last papers received which
give any intiInatiOn of what is reported 10
have occurred and there il no reason why
the revolution should have taken place.
Brazil in n free country and there il a per
feet guarantee Of the rights of everybody in
their persons aud property. A revolution
against government as free hs Brazil
seems so absurd that the minister cannot
believe II. Minister La Da Rio, the minis
ter reported killed, is well known in the
United States.
LONDON, Nov. H.-DiApntches from Rio
Jhneiro concerning the revolutionary out
break assert the movement IN favor Of a re-
publican form of government has recently
been strongly fomentcd and il the sole
cause Of the uprising. Up 10 the present
hour, however, there is little information of
tangible character.
Latsr dispatches from Rio Jaueirp fully
couirm the previous reports of revolution
lhe reyolutionists aim nc the overthrow of
the government and the proclaiming of a
republic. The army supports the move
ment.
A provisional government has been estab-
lished. Among the dispatches received, hut
not yet officially confirmed, tx one stating
that Baron lsoda Rio, minister Of marine,
has been killed.
