BRAZIL'S NEW UPRISING.
MINISTER CoNoER CONFIRMS THE
REPORTS.

The Congress Dissolved and Martial
Law Proclaimed Rio Jaueiro Re
ported Swarming With Government
Troops-Advocates of the Restora-
ton Of the Monarchy at the Eottom
of the Trouble.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The department
Of state has received a cablegram from
Minister Conger confirming the reports Of
the dissolution Of congress, aud the declara.
ton of martial law in Brazil. The news is
viewed with deep concern here, in view of
the importance Of the American interests
in that country, and our close trade with it.
There is reason to believe that the revoIu-
tionaTy movement is being fomented
BY a considerable party which
seeks 70 re-establish the monarchical
form of government IN Brazil. Such reports
as we're received here during the past few
months indicated steady strengthening of
the republican feeling among the Brazilian
people, and while the news of the revolus
tionary movement caused much surprise
and will probably lead to the ordering of
some of our naval vessels to points where the
trouble is threatened, it is not generally
believed that the revolutionary element is
strong enough to uproot the new republic.

nounced that the president has convened
the nation to elect new representatives at a

NEW YORK, NoY. 5.--Senor Salvador de
Mendonca the Brazilian minister TO Wash
lngton, does not regard the condition of
affairs IN Brazil so urgent as to require his
immediate presence Ia Washington. He de-

OF the United States of BrGzti. and until
Emperor Dom Pedro's overthrow, All
exile from Brazil, promoter of American
Brazilian enterprises and constant corre-
spondent of the most important officials at
Rio had the following to say There is
no revolution in Brazil. nor will
there be. do not hesitate to
say that the existing trouble may be
traced to the English, and their
great chagrin at the treaty Of reciprocity
recently made with this country. Ever
since the president signed the treaty En-
glsh agents have been bowling into the
ears OF the younger congressman the great
injustice done to Brazil and the sums Of
money thereby lost, and it seems not with
