WARRINGTON, Nov. 24.-Senhor vaIente,
the Brazilian minister, this afternoon re-
csfved the following important cable
gram:
RIO DE JANEIno, Nov. 24.-I inform You
that all the provinces have signitlei their
adherence to toe republic and provisional
government without any resistaucG or pro-
test. Ihe government has extended the
right oil vote to all the cltiz ms, except only
those unable to read or wete. The arch
bishop, bead OF tho chu On Of Brazil, has
conferred to-day his soiemn bened!rtion
upon the government and the republic.
hUs BABBozA, Minister OF Finance.
In reply to suggestion that cable dis
patches from Germany stated that there
was danger of a division of Brazil into
thrbe parts, Minister Valente said that
the telegram reosivsd TO day WAS a com.
plete refutation of all such reports II
showed that Brazil was united, and that
the sentiment of every province was in
favor of republic. 1t was not pleasing
news to most Of tho countries of Europe,
the miniater said, to hear that mon
arohy had quietly and without bloodshed
become republic. 1t might set the
people there to thinking about repub.
lies. Doubtless the other monarchies
would like to see restoration and would
like to put obstacles in the way of o re-
public.
1t Yves the will OF the people OF Brazil
however, that a republic should be estsb-
l!ahed. II was accom- plissed without any
bloodshed or commotion because the
time was ripe for it. The psopIe were
tolerant in religion and politics, and this
had prepared the way for tho change.
The government had nsver attempted to
interfere, and every one waa perfectly
/ free TO express his views. When in
Boil last June, the minister had heard
two members Of Tue house risa and hail
tie coming OF a republic. The move
inent had gone on fortlfying and fructify-
ing until every one was ready for it.
Ihe Emperor Dom Pedro anew OF the
movement, aud had said no would retire
il i. were for tho good OF the couatry.
| The minister would not say that the en-
pGror was pleased With the notification
shat he Wa TO be deposed, but he was
sure that he bore no 0ns any i'll will for
the measures which had been taken.
Dom Pedro would not countenance any
movement looking TO his foroible replace
ment on the thVone. He had taken O
noble and dignified course. and the new
| government and the people had treated
1 him With aud nrutt AY
in everything that had been done. Every
thing was doing very we'll in Brazil under
Dom Pedro, and he was universally we'll
still room for improvement.
"There is one thing in thegtelegrsm in
addition to the fact that oil the provinces,
without objection, have approved the
provisional government, that ia very i'm
poItant," said Mr.. Valente, "and that is
that the Roman Catholis church has to-
day blessed the new government. That is
a very powerful support. You see, in
Brazil, while every one is free 10 worship
according 10 his own religion, the Roman
Catholic church 10 the church of the
Btate. Il is supported out OF the revenues
OF the state, just as the Established
church is endowed by England. The fact
that the church has accepted the change
in government shows that it If the will Of
tLs whole people and that there is no op.
position. The priests had nothing to dc
with politics and they are naturally con
sentative and friendly to monarchistic
principles. They acquired their privileges
under monarchy and do not desire o
change. Republics are not friendly to the
establishment of any churoh, as they be.
lieve that each church should be sup.
ported by its own congregation. So, when
the church formally recognizes the re-
public it shows that 1t is convinced that
it is the will Of the whole people, that all
the provinces favor it, and that there is
no hope of restoration"
The minister said that if other coun.
tries sought to interfere, they would aid
instead of harm the republic. Germany
would like to have South American EN-
pire, and he had seen It stated that there
were 200, 900 Germans il Sen hern Brazil
That number might not be too large il il
included those OF German descent, but
these Germans did not wish to be under
the control of the home government
They were free to leave the COUNTRY, and
he was sure that they wolld, il asked
say that they were happier than they
were in Germany. ANY attempt ut inter
ference on the part of aa outRide nation
would strengthen the country and max,
every Brazilian rise mp in her defence.
The people would not permit any inter
meddling with their domestic concerns
ave shall make fine republic,
added Minister Valente, land Brazil vii
20 ahead ANA prosper. tits a rich country
and full Of resources. The provinces
especially, will be benefited by th,
change in government. The rule OF tn,
emperor was very mild and Just, bu
there was too much Capitalization"
LIsBoN, Nov. 24.-It is expected tina
Dom Pedro, the deposed emperor o
Brazil, will arrive here about the end Of
the month, and that after remaining her,
eight or ten days he will go to Cannes.
