American Empire.
Tho Emperor's Washington Repre-
sentative In ignorance.
The News May Cause Panic In the
Coffee Market.

LONDON, November ia private cipher
cable despatch from Rio de Janeiro states
that revolution has broken out there. 9th
er dispatches from Rio de Janeiro concern
ing the revolutionary outbreak assert that
movement in favor Of republican form OF
government recently strongly fomented is
the sole cause of the rising. Little informa-
tion. of q tangible character, has been re-
ceived. The announcement is made in the
cipher cables that the Brazilian ministers
had rendered their resignation. The rey0-
luton is controlled by the army.
NEW YORK, November ia despatch
has been received from Rio de Janeiro by
Hart & Rand, reading:
revolution has broken out here. The Bra
lillian armies are in control The ministry mas re-
signed. One minister mas been shot.r III Is an at
tempt to establish republic.
Other firms have received similar de-
spatches, all dated Rio de Janeiro. They
were received about 4 o'clock this afternoon.
If confirmation Is received they are likely to
be productive of a serious panic on the coffee
exchange. Joseph J.. ODonohue., lead
ing coffee dealer, said tonight; The new
most ready to be harvested. The
supply on the market here Is consequently
limited. II a revolution has broken out and
the ports of Rio de Janerio and Santos are
blockaded, 10 per cent. of the coffee supply
of this country will be cut off This will
cause very serious consequences throughout
the country. When the confirmation of this
report is received at the exchange tomorrow
from London there Is likely to be an unheard
of scene on the floor"
VIM. Crossman, Of Crossman Brothers.
said: IF the reports true, coffee Is likely
to advance to hitherto unheard OF figures.
When quiet is again restored in Brazil, enor-
nous shipments are likely to cause panic.
Blockading Brazilian ports would also cut
off more than three-fourths of the entire In
dia rubber supply and compel the shutting
down of nearly all the immense rubber
goods manufacturing concerns In the United
States, as the supply on hand at present is
not sufficient to last two weeks"
WASHINGTON, November 15.-The Brazil
ian minister said this evening that he had
received no information from his govern
ment in regard to the reported revolution in
Brazil He had received from third par
ty intelligence OF the some purport as that
contained in the cable messages to New
York. The minister said that since he LETT
Brazil in July last he heard considerable
about the great strength Of the Republican
party in, Brazil. In his opinion its strength
was greatly overrated in this
country At the last election, which
was perfectly free and open, only few re-.
publicans were returned. While it is possi-
in affairs In Brazil In the last three or four
months he did not think it at all probable the
situation had taken the turn indicated by
cable. There might he thought, have
been some ministerial trouble which had
given rise to the reports of the revolution.
LONDON, November 15.-Later dispatches
from Rio de Janeiro fully confirm previous
reports. The revolution aims at the over
throw of the government and the prOclama-
tion Of republic. The army supports the
movement. A provisional government has
been established including Seniors da Foa-
SEGA and Benjamin Constant. Among the
dispatches received, not yet officially con-
