the provisional government of his deposition,
requested to leave Brazil within twenty -four
hours and informed that his civil list would
be continued He was treated with the ut
most courtesy.
Bahia opposes the new regime. but most
Of the other provinces recognize the repub-
lie. Dr. Barboza, the new minister OF finance,
announces that all contracts made by tho
late imperial government will be main
! tanned by the new government. The city is

The Emperor Hears the News.
The ex-emperor was at his summer palace
when the first open step in the revolution
! was taken The palace is located at Petrop-
| oils, twenty-five miles north of this city,
and it is understood that when news OF the
| rebellion reached him his first impulse was to
come TO Rio de Janeiro at once. His family
entreaties, aided by the advice of friends,
! sufflced to make him abandon this determi-
| nation. Had he come here there is every
| probability that much blood would have
been shed. as his friends would doubtless
| have rallied around him collision BE-
tween the loyslsts and republicans could
only have resulted in easy victory for the
latter, who have control of the 5000 or
| 5000 soldiers now In the city.

| la Ria, minister of marine, had been killed,

Too Jealous for Liberty.
Scarcely more than year ago the daugh-
ter Of the venerable Dom Pedro, the emperor
Of Brazil, acting as a regent 10 the absence
OF her father, who was at that time seriously
Ill in Europe, signed a decree emancipating
the slaves throughout the empire in advance
of the tim when they would become freq by
the operation OF law fixing the time for
their manumission. This act was execrated
! by the upper classes as an attempt on the
part of Princess Isabel to win popular favor
at their expenss, and this Is believed to have
| bad much to do with the revolt.
