interviewed.


LONDON, November 3oth.-The Portu-
guese steamer Alagoas, with ex-Emperor
Dom Pedro and his party on board, arrived
the party are well. An attempt was made
to interview Dom Pedro concerning the
events that led to his deposition and exile.
he declined, however, to enter into any dis
cussion relative to the revolution, but stated
that he had been treated with the utmost
kindness throughout. The Alagoas will
proceed for Lisbon tomorrow.
When the steamer arrived at st. Vincent
she was flying the new flag of the United
States of Brazil. The flag remained flying
until the Brazilian Vice-Consul boarded
her and informed the Captain that the Pro-
visional Government had given instruc-
tons that the old flag was to be hoisted at
ST. Vincent and Lisbon.
The officers of the steamer, not having
direct orders from Rio Janeiro, declined TO
make the change. They however imme-
diately sent cable dispatch TO Rio Janeiro
asking for orders relative to the flag, and
pending the arrival of which the Alagoas
flies no flag at all.
The Alagoas was conveyed four and a
half days from Rio Janeiro by Brazilian
man of-war. The war ship is much slower
than the Alagoas, and the latter's passage
was consequently much longer than it
would otherwise have been. Fine weather
was experienced all the way from Rio
Janeiro to st. Vincent.
