LISBON, Dec. Dom Pedro, late emperor
Of Brazil, has just reached here on the Ala

Carlos was very affecting. The royal gem
tlemen embraced and kissed one another
tenderly. The empress wept bitterly, and
Is not at all resigned to the change in her
fortunes. She and the emperor look care
worn, and both have aged much since their
exile. Dom Pedro refused to talk Of tho
revolution, but according TO the inspired

slnvery's Abolition Caused II.
In an interview the Count d'Isu, son-in-
la'nof Dom Pedro, said Of recent events in
Brazil; "The Republicans were not numer-
Gus. They proiited by the estrangement Of
the large land owners, who were bitter
against the government because Of the inn
mediate abolition Of slavery. Many mer-
chants, formerly Conservatives, were also
alienated by the abolition movement The
Republicans industriousy spread the idea
that the throne was wholly responsible for
the fastening Of emancipation, whereas this
action was only the logical contamination Of
policy extending back many years, and
which had received the support of all classes.
Meanwhile the army had become tyrannical
and insolent The only means Of checking
/ this dangerous tendency was 70 revive the

servative body, the crown nominating tho
officers The government resolved 10 create
a regiment at Rio. The Republicans bruited
about that the government intended 70 re-
vive 1t everywhere, and to disnrm the exist
ing forces

The Emperor's Opportunity Gone.
Regarding the prospect for the restoration
Of the empire the count said: "Hrazil Is too
far from Europe for the proper steps 10 be
taken. There is also lacking man to bring
the army around to the side Of Che empire.
Had the emperor been able to show himself
70 the crowd in the streets they would have
cheered him, and the revolution would have
collapsed. It is now too late.n

him to Dom Pedro on Nov. l6, said;
The Demoeratir sentiments Of tho nation,
combined with resentment at the systematic
repressiya measures Of the government
against the army and navy and the spolia-
tion Of their rights have brought about the
revolution.
I'm the face Of this situation the presence
Of the imperial family IN the country is inn
possible. Yielding, therefore, 20 the exieen-
cies of the national voice, the provisional
government is compelled TO request you 10

within twenty-four hours. The government
will provide at it's own expense the proper
means for transport, and win afford protec-
