New YORK, Nov. 12.-The Associated
Press has letter from its correspondent
in Rio de Janeiro Brazil, under date of
October IA, which, while prior to the break
ing out OF the revolution, contains much of
interest regarding the situation in that
country. The state of affairs, the CORE
spondent says, is far from satisfactory. In
the last two years the country has been
flooded with paper money. now amounting
nomlnally TO $3.50, GOO, 600 and deprecated to
less than So per cent. of its nominal value.
In consequence Of this depression and the
burdensome taxes, ali the necessaries of
life are at eXorbitant figures and constantly
rising. Salaries and wages, however, have
not risen. Strikes and disturbances at one
time almost unknown in Brazil have be-
come frequent. Rio de Janeiro had lust
passed through a serious disturbance orig
mating in a ridiculously insignificant
pause, the facts showing that in the irritable
state of public feeling many are ready to
seize on any preteXt to cause trouble The
manager Of the opera company being I'M
popular, a band of students one night in
sisted on his coming before the curtain to
be Kissed. He replied that while duly
grateful he must decline, whereupon the
students persisted in their demands until
the police interfered. Then followed a
wild riot in which the interior of the opera
house was wrecked and many persons in
1ured. Next day the papers attacked the
police and speeches were made on the
street corners by orators, among whom
were some congressman and officers of the
army. AT night rioting began and MANY
persons were wounded, two or more being
killed The army seemed in great measure
TO sympathize with the people against the
police. Rioting continued until next day,
but the excitement then Quoted down.
The correspondent confidently predicts,
however, there will be more rioting soon.

BRAZILIAN News via Lopdon is pistorted

WASHINGTON, Nov, 12.-The bureau of
American republics has from semi-oficial
sources information in regard to the pre-
sent condition Of affairs in Brazil, to the
effect that telegraphic news coming via
London is often entirely false and generally
distorted or magniied. British jealousy of
the increasing influence of the United
States in Brazil and the fear of losing com
nercial supremacy in that country are the
motives which inspire the false and alarm
ing dispatches concerning political dis
turbances in Brazil. The situation at Rio
Grande do Sui is peculiar, party feeling
having been warmly aroused between the
Republicans on the one hand and the ad
hereuts of the Liberal party, the partisans
of the deposed leader Silyeria Martins. on

A Cheering Mob In Front of the ssPost-
Intelligencer" once All Night.


CHEEKY street in front of the Posr-INrHI-
IieEScER Office was blocked by 1900 people
during the progress of the Corbett-J ackson
fight last night. 1t was useless to attempt
10 satisfy the eager crowd with bulletins,
which only q few who were near could
read, so, in order that all could get the
benefit of the bulletins, a handsome young
man in a sporty-looking white suit read
from the steps each dispatch as ii arrived.
The crowd could hardly wait from one
found to another, and the appearance of
: every bulletin was the signal for cheering
by the enthusiasts. This would be fol-
lowed by orders for silence. Every round
was given in full by the bulletins, and the
prompt service enabled the crowd to keep
up with the progress and details Of the
fight.
Cheer after cheer rent the air whenever
either of the contestants gained point.
for both had numerous admirers among
the vast concourse of people, and some
times when an outburst of applause
drowned the readers voice the crowd
would yell for order and have the bulletin
read over again.
The crowd presented many features, and

whites. negroes. Cinnamon and Japs, bond
holders, laborers, tramps, hobos and dudes
all mingling together in one mass of con-
fusion, excitement and egar enthusiasm
Some were betting. some were boasting,
and some were silently waiting for more
news
During the excitement many amusing
comments were made by those whose pent-
mp enthusiasm had to be ventilated. One
little group Of negroes stood together,
longing to hear something favorable to
Peter Jackson. When the bulletin told of
Peters being hit in the Jaw one of the
negroes said: "Shucks, dat doan' count,

ting there. What does he want to hit a
Niger on the head for? The nose is his
weak point: there's no bone in it,"
Corbett was the favorite with the ma
iority of the crowd. but Jackson had many
friends among the whites and the admira-
ton of all the blacks. Al the thirty-ninth
