AN EYE WITNESS ACCOUNT,
LISBON, Dec. S.-An Euglisman. agent
of an important English bank at ,Iiio
Janeiro, who was aboard the Atrato, said:
ION Sunday the telegraph Was seized and
no messages were delivered, not even
those addressed to the British Consul. l
went to the consulate at 10 o'clock in the
| morning and waa stopped by soldiers.
MIR. Nicolin, acting British consul, was
stopped also. We feared exchange would
fall to nothing, but the provisional gov
eminent notified the English bank man
ayers that if they allowed exchange TO
fall their establishment would be sup
pressed. Nothing could exceed the feel
ing of kindness which every one, lncIud-
ing the provisional ministers, entertained
towards the emperor, bur the coward;ce
! of those who ought to have resisted was
contemplate. The wealthy classes were
timorous rather than Indifferent. The
only possible secessionist movement will
be from the Germans. The government
has provided against the publication of
anything unfavorable or disquieti lg.
Even kilograms to foreign ministers Were
quietly suppressed. The Rio legislat Ire
on the 18th approved OF the rcconstruc
ton of the constitution on the basis of
thorough democracy. The same day was
made public holiday throughout Brazil.
The minister of marine, at the head of
small bOdy of sailors and marines tiled |
to suppress what he believed to be re-
volt of infantry =. their barracks, but the |
marines fraternized with the rebels, who |
summoned the minister to surrender. |
This he refused to do point blank, and |
tried to draw his revolver. The soldiers |
Immediately shot him down In the pres
ence OF another general standing at bis
side. The disaffected troops anticipated |
that the government would move against
them, and at the hesd of two regiments
of cavalry and d battery OF artillery Da
Fonseca surrounded Santa Anna barrack,
where ministers bad assembled. The
troops inside fraternized with those out
side. The barrack gates were thrown
open and the ministers witnessed General
da Fonscca's triumphal entry and exits
luted by the trooos. With the exception
of the foregoing incident this concluded
the business. kilograms were printed in

Europe was approving the change of
regime. A telegram dated London, Nov.
10, from Rothschild's to the finance min
lister was published in English and Portu-
guese. 1t expressed Rnthschild's un-
felgned satisfaction with the assurance of
the government that 1t would adhere to
all contracts, and also the hope that the
government would strain every nerve to
MAINTAIN the entire vast dominion of
Brazil. The Commescio dOpporto pub
fishes dispatch from Rio Janerio, Gated

ST. LOUIS, Dec. S.-A special to the
Republic from St. Paul says: Charles S.
Ostrom, until last Friday night cashier
and bookkeeper of the Minneapolis de-
paitment of the ST. Paul Pioneer Press, is
suspected of having started the fire which
consumed the Minneapolis Tribune bniid-
ing on the night of November 3Oth, and
in which seven men lost their lives. He
was charged. on Friday night, with hav-
ing stolen $4,000 of Pioneer Press funds.
and placed under arrest. He admitted
his guilt and desired to do all he could to
help his employers to s:raighten out the
books. The terrible rumor was soon
abroad that Ostrom fired the Tribune
building to hide the evidence of his guilt.
He was seen in Jail and strenuously de-
MED the story. He evInced much emotion
and said he was quite sure he could es-
tablish an aIibi. Ostrom's downfall is
due to gambling, and is great surprise
to all OF his friends. He has been mar
rled but about three months.
