RUMORS OF Discomfort.
MUTTERINGS OF ANOTHER UPRISING
IN BRAZIL.

Trouble Looked Forfrom MOnarchists Who
Do Not Think the Provisional Govern
ment Leaders Are Minister
BarbOzo's Denial of Impending Trouble.
The steamship Savona. which has re-
Gently arrived at New York from Brazilian
ports, reports that the people of Santos are
divided in their adherence to the republic,
peror. There was nothing new TO report
at Rio Janeiro, and quietness prevailed at
Cerea.
Capt. Fisher Of the steamship Sirius,
which left Rio Janeiro Dec. 4, reports
that several foreign warships, among
them the United States steamer Richmond,
had arrived in the harbor, and that quiet
ness reigned in the city, but that riot
had taken place in the Rio Grande dis
trict, although no particulars could be
learned up to the time of sailing.
Washington special says that Brazil
ians in the United States look for trouble
in the new republic. The reluctance of
some of the most prominent liberals to
give their adhesion to the provisional gov
eminent of Da Fonseca is taken as an in
dication that these men have intimated
that it would be advisable to ascertain
to general confidence or whether they have
undertaken something that they are not
strong enough to carry out. They regard
the refusal of Don Jose Mariana of
Pernam buco to accept the Governor
ship of that province as very sig
niicant. Mariana is described as a
man of immense influence, and it
is aid that if he should advise the people
of Pernambuco to withdraw from the re-
public they would do so and would be
joined by neighboring provinces in estab-
fishing a new government of the north.
There is no fear of intervention by Ger
many or any other European power, as it
is believed that hostile demonstration
against Brazil would bring all the pro-
vinces together and develop unity of the
South Ameri an republics that would be
astonishing and perhaps Improbable to
all foreign nations interested in Brazilian
affairs.
Private cables to merchants here report
that exchange has declined 81 pence since
Dom Pedro was deposed. Rubber has
advanced from 2, 20J to 2, 400 rels There
is Only fortnight's supply of rubber in
stock. and should trouble occur in Brazil
it is feared that rubber factories will be
forced to shut down.
A Washington special says: The toll
lowing telegram from Ruy Barboza, the
new Brazilian minister of finance has been
received at the Brazilian legation:
From cablegrams we learn that, un-
fortunately, there is no speculation from
newsmongers against us which is not
credited III Europe, in spite of all our
warnings against this sort of conspiracy.
Reports about mutiny of corps of artillery
false; only mutlny of few soldiers. I'm
mediately suppressed The aggravation
of Gen Fonseca's illness not true; on the
contrary, he is recovering speedily from
his former complaints. In the army itself
the revolution can rely on other chiefs of
great prestige and no less devoted to the
cause. All the different political parties
have espoused with enthusiasm the term
fixed Nov. Is, $780, for the meeting of
the constituent assembly, they consider
ing by this act the stability of the repub-
lie insured. Beware of newsmongers.'
Later Minister Valente received another
cablegram from Senior Barboza, giving
the reasons why it was impossible to call
the constituent assembly before Novem-
Der.
Rio de Janeiro cable: The govern
ment has issued O decree providing that
all persons found endeavoring to cor
rupt the allegiance of the soldiers or con-
irving or proposing any measure for ac-
tive opposition to the republic shall be
tried by military tribunal. An opposi--
ton journal was suspended on Tuesday.
The government at Para has established
a monopoly of the india-rubber trade.
Many of the export houses-chiefly Ameri-
can and French-doing business amounting
to 800, 900, 900 francs yearly have sent
protests to the Legations of their respective
countries. NJ. Spuller, the French foreign
minister has telegraphed to the French
minister in Brazil for details
