the sole cause of therising. Up to the pres
ent hour, however, there is little informa-
ton of tangible character The announce
ment is made that the Brazilian ministers
have rendered their designations, and that
the situation is controlled by the army.
THE REPORTS CONFIRMED.
Later dispatches from Rio Janeiro fully
confirm the previous reports. The reyolu-
ton aims at the overthrow Of the govern
ment- and the proclamation of the republic
The army supports the movement. A pro-
vlslonal government has been established,
including Seniors Da Fonseca and Benjan-
min Constant. Among the dispatches re
ceived, but not yet officially confirmed, is
one stating that Baron Ladario, the minis
ter of marine, has been killed.
MINISTERIAL TROUBLE.
WASHINGTON, Special. The Brazilian min
lister said this evening that he had received
no information from his government with
regard to the reported revolution in Brazil.
Since he had left Brazil in July last he had
heard considerable about the great strength
of the Republican party there, but in his
opinion its strength was greatly overrated
i'll this country. At the last election, which
was perfectly free and open, only few Re
publicans were returned. While it was pos
sible that great changes had taken place in
the affairs in Brazil in the last three or four
months, he did not think it probable that
the situation had taken the turn indicated
by the cablegrams. There might he
thought, have been some ministerial trouble
which bad given rise to the reports of a rev.

MINISTER OF MARINE KILLED
A dispatch was received at the state de-
partment from Consul General Dockery, at
Rio De Janeiro, announcing the outbreak
OF a revolution against the Brazilian gov
eminent, and that the minister of marine
had been killed. The report that Baron
Ladario, the minister of the navy, had
been killed, was shown to the Brazilian
minister at midnight. He was surprised at
the intelligence, and upon being asked if
there were any reasons why Minister La.
dario should have been an especial object
OF attack on the part of the revolutionists,
said that he was utterly unable to ac-
count for it, and could not believe the
reports of the revolution were true. He
added: sThe Republican party, to which
the revolt is ascribed, could not have
grown so large as to bring about a revolu-
ton at the last election not 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, no attempts to coerce the
voters. A revolution could not have oc-
cured in SO free a country as Brazil with
out some premonitions The last steamer
brought me papers, and there is nothingi in
them which gives any intimation of what
IS reported to have occurred. There is no
reason why a revolution should have taken
place. Brazil
is A FREE COUNTRY
and there is perfect guarantee of the rights
Of everybody in their persons and property.
Our press is as free as any press in the
world. There has been not single word
OF complaint against the new government
which has come into power-a govern
ment that was to make the most
liberal reforms if there were any
reforms yet needed in Brazil Arevolution
of the character of a republican revolution
in a country like Brazil must have some
cause, and we know ofnone. A revolution
against a despotic government might be ex-
5pected, but one against government as
free as ours is absurd, so absurd that we
can not believe it. 1t seems to us as i'm
possible as a revolution in this country"
The minister sBid that Baron Ladario is a
gentleman of intelligence and ability His
name is Jose Da Costa Ayevedo He is
quite well known in the United States and
has served i'll our navy. He began his naval
career as an officer in the United States
navy about thirty years ago, it being
the custom Of Brazil to send her
young men to the governments of the
United States and Europe to fit them for
service in the navy of their own govern
ment. He returned to Brazil and followed
his career with great success, hisintelligence
and energy securing him high rank in the
Brazilian navy and resulting, not long ago,
in his selection as a member Of the cabinet
He came to the United States during the
centennial exposition of 1885, and was in
command of the Brazilian corvette Nichthe-
roy. His is about tifty-two or tifty-four
years of age.
NEW YORK SURPRISED.
New YORK, Special-Dispatches telling
of a revolution in Brazil were received just
after the coffee exchange had closed for the
day. The reports came like clap of thun-
der to coffee dealers throughout the city
who were made acquainted with
them tonight, and are likely to
cause serious trouble on the exchange ii
confirmed. While the dealers generally
spoke in a hopeful strain, they exhibited
signs of uneasiness. This is the first init
nation we have had Of any trouble of any
kind in Brazil for a year, " said J. j. O'Don-
ohue tonight. ssWe received information
about a year ago in our correspondence
from Brazil of a rumored uprising of the
slaves in various parts of that
country, but nothing more was ever
heard of it, and since then tn
news from Rio de Janeiro has been of a
most cheerful character. Money on the
Brazilian exchange has been at par for more
than year, something that had hardly
been known in the history of the country
+ for years past. The coffee exchange closed
to-day with coffee strong, at 15.46c bid only
few moments before the dispatches were
