REVOLT IN BRAZIL.
Coffee Dealers Of New York Greatly Ex-
cited by the News.


r. Flint & Co. received the following
cablegram late today, dated Rio Janerio
Revolution has broken out here. The
Brazilian armies are in control. The min
istry has resigned. The revolution is fol
the purpose of forming republic"
Other dispatches concerning the out
break state that a movement in favor of a
republican form of government has re-
Gently been strongly fomented and is the
sole cause of the UPRISING. Up TO late
hour, however, there is little information
of tangible character.
SERIOUS FOR COFFEE DEALERS
Hard & Rand received the following
from Rio de Janeiro: 1.-THE revolution has
broken out here. The Brazilian army is
in control. The minister has resigned
Minister Shout attempted to establish a
republic"
Similar dispatches were also received by
Arbuckle Bros. and Joseph O'Donnahue
& Sons. These dispatches were received
about p. IN. just after the coffee exchange
had closed for the day. The reports came
like clap of thunder to coffee dealers
throughout the city, who were made
acquainted with them tonight and are
likely to cause serious trouble on
the exchange if confirmed. While the
dealers generally spoke in a hopeful strain
they exhibited signs of uneasiness. "This
is the first intimation we have had of any
trouble of any kind in Brazil for year."
said Mr.. j. O'Donnahue tonight. 1--WE
received information about year ago in
our correspondence from rumored upris-
ing of slaves in various parts of Brazil, but
nothing was ever heard Of it and since
then the news from the Rio de
Janelro has been a most
cheerful one. Money on the Brazilian ex-
change has been at par for more than a
year past something that had hardly been
been known in the history of the country.
The coffee exchange closed today with
coffee ID. 40 bid only few minutes before
the dispatches were received. The new
coffee crop in Brazil is almost ready to be
harvested and the supply on the market
here is consequently limited. If revolu-
has broke out and ports of Santas and Rio
de Janeiro are blockaded, IS per cent
of the coffee supply of this country will
be cut off. This will be productive of very
serious consequences throughout the coun-
try. When confirmation of the report is
received at the exchange tomorrow from
London there is likely to be an unheard of
scene on the floor.
Mr.. VIM. II. Crossman. of Crossman
Brothers, had not received dispatch, but
had information through correspondence
from Brazil at a very recent date which
gave no hint of even an anticipation of
trouble in that country. IF the
report is true" said that gentleman.
coffee is likely to advance to hitherto
unheard of figures, and when quiet is again
restored in Brazil the enormous shipments
are likely to cause panic
The blockading of Brazilian ports at
tending revolution in That country would
result in cutting off of more than three
fourths OF the entire India rubber supply
of this country 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.
NO OFFICIAL ADvICs RECEIVED
WASHINGTON, Nov. l5.-The Brazilian
minister said this evening that he had re-
ceived no information from his govern
ment with regard to the reported revolu-
tion in Brazil. but that he had received
from a third party intelligence of the same
purpcrt as that contained in the cable
message to Charles Flint & Co. of New
DIRK. The minister said that since he had
left Brazil in July last he mad heard con
siderable about the great strength of the
republican party in Brazil. but in his
opinion Its strength was greatly overrated
IN this country. At the last election
which was perfectly free and open. only a
lew Republicans were returned. While il
was possible that great changes had taken
placr in The affairs of Brazil il the last
three OF Tour months he did not think il at
probaole that the situation had taken the
turn indicated by the cahlegram. There
might, he thought, have been some minis
terial trouble which had given rise to the
reports of a revolution
