RIO De JANEIRO, Brazil, Nov. 10
Emperor Dom Pedro, who succeeded TO
the throne Of Brazil on the abdieation
of his father, April :, 1881. was to-day
depOsed by the insurgents under Gen.
da FOnSeca. The rebels, who control
the army and navy, proclaimed the
abolition and death of the monarchy
and the birth Of the new republic OF
Brazil. A new cabinet was then orga-
niZed rs follows:
President. Without Portfolio Dodoro
da EOnSeca-
Minister Of the Interior-Arstide Loba.
Minister of Foreign Affairs-kqulntln Boo
eyUTa.
Minister OF Finauce-Dr. BarbOZa.
Minister of JuSiice-C CGmpOS SalleS-
Minister Of War-Heujamin Constant
Minister of Hariue-Admiral Nanderholtz.
Minister Of observation-disclosures hlceFo.
Senior Bocayura is a journalist. Sen
hOr BarbOZa was a member of the cham
Der of deputies. SenhOr Constant Is
Journalist. and professor in the poly
teehnic school. Gen. da FOnseea held
command of the province of Minas Ger
aes. the largest in the empire. He was
recently punished for INSTRUMENTATION.
The chamber of deputies has dissolved.
and the council of state has been abOl-
ished. Public opinion appears to be in
favor of q peaceful trial of the new
form of government. Seniors Constant
and BOcayura and Gen. FonSeca VIZ
tually constitute the government OF
Brazil, FonSeca being the actual leader.
Troops have started for the palace out
side the city, to make prisoners of the
emperor and his family. The populace
Of this city are
DAZED AT THE UPRISING
and revolt of the army, but cling to the
hope that enough troops remain loyal
to the emperor to put down the rebellion
and crush the rebels. The revolution
is purely military and only formidable
from the lack of troops outside OF Rio to
bring against the reyOlutiOniStS. The
force in Rio is about 5000. There are
not more than 10000 in addition, and
they are scattered all over the empire.
Gen. FonSeca. who is at the head of the
insurgents, was accused OF gross lnSub-
ordination last July while governor or
the province Of MinaS Geraes, and the
minister of war proposed to have him
cOurl-martialed but the emperor forbade
it. If the whole force in Rio are of one
mind, things can be carried with a
high hand. The parliament was to
have met next Wednesday, and many OF
the senators and deputies are already in
the city. If they agree to recognize
the new government. Emperor Dom
PedrO's abdicattiOn may be looked for.
If they do not, they will have to 90 to
Jail. The revolution comes as a great
surprise. No financial troubles exist.
The August elections were peaceful.
The liberal cabinet proposed popular
measures, and the emperor is universal
ly liked. The imperial ministers have
been placed under arrest and are
KEPT IN CLOSE CONFINEMENT.
The provisional government has
guaranteed protection to the members
of the imperial family. The emperor is
at his summer palace at Petropoiis,
twenty miles north of Rio de Janeiro.
ALI business in the city is suspended,
but there is 10 danger to life or prop
erty. Various provinces have sent as
suTances of support to the new regime.
The former prime minister has been ar
rested. The emperor will be treated
with the greatest consideration.
