LONDON, Nov. 19.-The Times prints the
following dispatch from it's special cor
respondent this Thursday morning:
MoNTEvIDEo, Nov. Isl send you
the following telegram via Chilli
and Panama in order to avoid
the censorship Of the coast tele-
graphic cable of Brazil. have now trust
worthy information that the outbreak in
the province of Rio Grande, up to the
present moment, has not for it's purpose
either the restoration of the monarchy or
secession. The Republican party is in
clined to separation, but the monarchist
elementi is strongly for union.
THE LEADERS OF TIE MOVEMENT
are chiefly monarchists, who belonged I'M
der the empire to the Conservative and
Liberal parties, and they are guided by the
d1tfdent Republicans hsaded by Senior
Dlmltrlo Rileeire, who was for q few
weeks minister of agriculture in the pro-
Vislonal government but retired on account
OF his opposition TO the disastrous financial
policy of DIR. Barbosa.
| The movement has been chiefly against
the Republican minority which is headed
| by Governor Carvilho, who was tyranniz-
Ing over Rio Grande. The junta sey it
works for the restoration of ancient
liberties, which have been suppressed
during the past two years, and it demands
also the deposition of Marshal Fonseca,
and the organization of a national govern
ment which shall freely consult the ma
| ton.
THE RIO GRANDE REVOLUTION IS POPULAR
MOVEMENT,
to which the troops have adhered The
iunta now commands the First, Third and
Fourth regiments of artillery: the Second
engineers, the Fourth, Sixth, Twelfth.
Thirteenth, Eighteenth, Twenty eighth,
Twenty ninth and Thirtieth infantry; and
the Fourth, Fifth, Eleventh and Twelfth
cavalry. Nothing is known exactly about
the two remaining regiments of the state.
The Third infantry is at Jaguarao and the
Sixth cavalry at Danta Victoria The flo
tilla, on the river Uruguay, is composed OF
the small monitors Adagoas and Rio
Grande. The gun6oats Tramandahy and
V1stal de Oriveira are with the
insurgents. The gunboat Camors,
which was at Porto Allegro, has
adhered to the revolutionary party. The

commanders, the officers and soldiers Of
the artillery and infantry belong to the
northern and central provinces of Brazil,
but the cavalry is almost entirely from the
state of Rio Grande.
The iunta now holds all the provinces of

see if there is to be a general rising
against Fonseca, and if he is to
) be expelled from power Rio
Grande will help the revolutionists to
construct united country. II, however,
Brazil is not able to free itself, Rio Grande
will secede or consider the possibility of
marching against Fonseca in Rio. In the
first place Rio Grande will secede with
Santa Catariua, and the latter will do all
3 it possibly can to secure the fine harbor oil
Santa Catarina.
, The march towards Rio is easier thar
9 many think. Between Rio Grande and Sar
8 Paulo the road is used by cattle and mule
] merchants, who supply San Paulo and Rio

! and food for the troops is guaranteed BY
1 the large quantity of cattle existing in thG
a region.
If the Rio Grande revolutionists marct
: towards the north they will soon reach the
: southern railways of San Paulo, which
a means securing rail communication with Ri
o Janeiro. Nobody thinks of the possibility
a of Fonseca's forces coming to Rio Grandl

would join the rebels should he do So Thil
n if his troops were sent out of Rio the die
n tator would be Immediately deDosed by
popular rising.
