Family VIII BE Protected.
LONDON, Nov. 16-Later dispatches
from Rio Janeiro fully confirm the re-
port Of the revolution in Brazil The
country is in the throes of a revolution,
not only civil but military. With the
resignation of the ministry the last
props fell from under Dom PedrO's
throne, and the empire is thing of the
past The going over in body of the
Conservative faction in the house to the
Republican made it possibility and
certainty.
Throughout the country the greatest
excitement prevails, and the news of
the revolution spread over the entire
new born republic with inconceivable
rapidity. From every city come words
OF encouragement aud approval, and
the spirit t republicanism has perme-
ated Brazil in its entirety. The prov
inces are a unit in support Of the in
coming government and, in view of the
fact that the military forces of the land
are in line with the revolutionists, IL
can only be increment of peace
The ex-ministry have given up all
hope Of Il turn being made in favor of q
re-establishment of tine empire, and they
admit that the prospects point to an es-
adjustment in Rio de Janeiro of q re-
publican form of government
The coffee growers and exporters
are unanimous in their opposition to
the old government, aud, as q result
have raised the price OF green coffee.
a Brazilian cabinet has bosn formed
as follows:

BOcavura.
Minister of finances Barboza.
Minister of justice Campo SALES.
Minister of wRr-Benjamin Constant
Minister of marine Admiral Wander

Minister of agriculture -Demitris Ri
bero.
Senior Bocavura is a journalist Senior
BarbOza was O member of the chamber
| of deputies. Senior Constant is q jour
naist and professor in the polytechnic
/ school Gen. Da FOnseca held com
mand of the province of Minas Care.
He was recently punished for insubor-
dination.
General sympathy with Dom Pedro
is expressed, but nobody believes his
restoration to the throne possible. Al

enable him 10 pass the remainder of his

Is looked for. Financial confidence in
Brazilian securities seems not 10 have
been much shaken by the turn taken by

less than might have been expected.
Ignoring the Minister OF Washing ton.
WASHINGTON, Nov Is. Not word Of
news has reached the secretary of state
or the Brazilian minister from Rio de
! Janeiro about the revolution there. At
the Brazilian legation here it is be-
! heyed that the revolutiOnists are in pos
session of the capital and everything
of use there including the telegraph.
/ Consequently only revolutiOnist news is
expecte |, but the MOnarchists are ex-
! pected to be heard from III few days
! by way of PernambucO or Para. The
] Brazilian diplomats here expect that
/ the provinces will stand by the en-
perOr, and that the reYolutionists will

cities.
From q gentleman Intimately ac-
quainted with Brazilian politics It is
learned that the revolution in Brazil is
] purely military, and only formidable
from the lack of troops outside of Rio
to bring against the revolutionists.
The force in Rio Is about 8, co., There
are not more than 10000 in addition,
and they are scattered all over the en-
pire.
Gen. Fonseca, who is ct the head of
the revolution, was accused of insubOr-
dination last July, and the minister of
war proposed to hare him colrt-mar-
tailed, but the emperor forbade it. If
the whole force In Rio are of one mind
things can be carried with high hand.
The parliament is to meet next
Wednesday, and many Of the senators
and deputies are already in the city If
they agree TO recognize the new govern
ment Dom PedrO's abdication may be
looked for, If they do not, they will
have to go to jail. As the revOlutionists
control the cable definite news may not
be received for several days
The revolution comes as a great sur
prise. No financial troubles exist. The
August elections we're peaceful The
Liberal cabinet proposes popular meas
ures, and the emperor Is universally
liked.
The coup d. main may affect the
status of the Brazilian delegates to the
Pan-American congress.
The important question In this revo-
luton" said Senior da Costa, of the
Brazilian legation to q reporter, lis
where the navy stands. It is q most
unfortunate thing that this should havo
happened when the two men who are
the controlling power in the navy are
here at Washington attending the ma
rine conference. One man-of-War could
have put down any rebellion that could
arise. If Capt. Da Cana or Capt
Maturity we're in Brazil either could put
/ down the revolution in one hour. They
are both friends of the government
and personal friends of the emperor.
I It is most unfortunate that these two
strongest men in the navy should be
away from home OF this time bus there
has been no possible reason to ex-
pect such thing TO happen. 1 am ct q
loss to understand it. "
