TROUBLE In BRAZIL,
Outbreak of a Revolution to
Overthrow the Empire
of Brazil.
Attempt to Establish a Repub.
lican Government in Dom
PedrO's Domain.

dispatch from Rio Janeiro states that .
revolution has broken out there. The dis
patch gives no particulars. Other dispatches
from Rio Janeiro assert that movement in
favor of Republican form of government
has recently been strongly fomente<l. and is
the sole cause of the rising. Up to the pres
cnt hour, however, there Is little informa-
tion of tangible character. The announce
incnt 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 Janciro fully
confirm the previous reports. The revolu-
ton aims ut the overthrow of the govern
mcnt and the proclamation of the republic.
The army supports the movement. A pro-
visioinal government has been established,
including Scnors Da Fonscca and l}enjan-
min Constant. Among the dispatches re-
crivctl, hut not yet officially confirmed, is
one stating that Baron I.adario, the minis.
ter of marine, has been killed.
MINIsTERIAL TROUBLE.
WASHINGTON, Spccial.--Thc brazilian min
lister s,lid this evening tllat he had received
no information from his government with
regard to the reported revolution in Brazil.
Since he had left Brazil i'll July last he hal
heard considerable about the great strength
ofthc Republican party there, but in his
opinion it, strength was greatly ovcrrutc,l
iii this country. At the last election, which
was perfectly free and open, only u 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 oabcgrams. There might, he
Thought, have been some ministerial trouble
which had given rise to the reports of rev.
olutiOn.
MINISTER OF MARINE KILLED.
A dispatch was received ut the state de-
partmcnt from Consul General Dockery, ut
Rio DC Janciro, announcing the outbreak
Ola revolution against the BRAZILIAN gov
crnment, 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 ut
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 lie was utterly unable to ac-
count for it, and could not believe the
reports of the revolution were true. lie
added: ''The Republican party, to which
the revolt is ascribc,l, could not have
grown so large as to bring about revolu-
ton. AT the last election not a single
member of that party was chosen on the
first ballot, and on the second ballot
only two or three were elected from
II single province. That election was
entirely free and open; there was no
Interference on the part of the government,
no dislnissals, no attempts to coercc the
voters. a revolution could not have oc-
CURED in SO free Il country as Brazil with
out some prcmonitions. The last steamer
brought me papers, and there is nothing 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 Il 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 Tic ncw government
which has come into pnwcr--a govern
mcit that was to make the most
liberal reforms if there were any
reforms yet needed in Brazil. 4 revolution
of the character of "a republican revolution
in country like Brazil must have some
cause, and we know of none. \ revolution
against dcslotic government might be cy-
pectctl, but one against Il government US
free US ours is absurd, so absurd that We
can not believe it. 1t seems to us as i'm
possible as u revolution in this country"
The minister seil that Baron I.a,lario is a
gentleman ofintclligcnce and ability. His
name is Jose Da Costa Aycvcdo. lie is
quite well known in the United States, AMI
has served i'll our navy. lie 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 gvcrnmcnts of the
United Stntcs and Europe to fit them for
service in the navy Of their own govern
mcnt. He returned to Brazil and followed
his career with great success, his sintclligcnce
and energy securing him high rank in the
BRAZILIAN navy and resulting not long ago,
in his selection as member of the cabinet.
He came to the United States during the
centennial exposition of 1876, and was in
command of the Brazilian corvette Nicl,thc-
roy. His is about iitty-two OF ifty-four
years of age.
NEW YORK SURPRISED.
New Yong, Spccial.-DiSIatciics telling
ofa revolution iii Brazil were received just
after the coffee exchange had closed for the
day. The reports came like n clap of thun-
der to coffee dealers throughout the city
who were made acquainted with
them Tonight, and are likely to
cause serious tronble on ,,e exchange If
confirmed. Willie the dealers generally
spoke in Il hopeful strain, they exhibited
nation we have had of any trouble of any
kind in Brazil for year, said J. J. ODon-
oliue Tonight. I've received information
about year ago in our correspondence
from Brazil of a rumored uprising of the
slaves in various parts of that
country, bnt nothing more was ever
heard of it, and since then TIL
news from Rio de Janciro has been of u
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 cntEec strong, at l5.4Gc bid only
u few moments before the dispatches were
received. The new coffee crop in
Brazil is almost ready to be har-
vested, and the supply On the
market here is consequently limited. Ifa
revolution has broken out and the ports Of
Rio .Janciro and Santos are blockadcd. IS
per cent of the coffee supply Of this country
will be cut off This will be productive of
very serious consequences throughout the
country. When confirmation of the re-
port is received at the exchange tomorrow
from London, there is likely to be an un-
hcarll-of scene on the floor. William II.
Crossinan, Of Grossman Bros, said:
"If the report il tHlc coffee
is likely to advance to hitherto unheard fig
urcs, and when quiet is again restored in
Brazil the enormous shipments are likely
to cause panic" The blockading of
Brazilian ports attending a revolution in
that country will result in the cutting off
of more than tllrec-fourtlls of the entire H.
,iia rubber supply of this country and COM
pei the shutting down of nearly all the I'M
lncllsc rubber goods manufacturing COLI
Germs in the United States, AS the supply on
hand ut present is not sufficient to last two
weeks.
SERIOUS FOR AMERICA.
In speaking of the possible consequences
