The State Of Rio Grands Do Sui Alone Has
Revolted In Brazil.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE first intima-
tion the Brazilian minister here has re-
ceived of the reported secession of some Of
the provinces in Brazil was in the form Of
an unofficial dispatch to-day to the effect
that it was reported in Rio de
Janeiro that the State of Rio
Grande do Sui had renounced allegiance
to the government and had seeded. IS
this dispatch came from q reliable source
the minister believes. In the absence of any
contradictory statement from his govern
ment, that the province has revoIted. The
minister stated tonight that if the province
had seeded there was not the least chanceo Of
the revolt extending to other States Of the
republic; that the government Of Brazil
vas as stable as this government. and
there need be no fear of a general revolu-
tion. The disaffection in the province OF
Rio, Grande do Sui, he said, was probs-
bly, due to the members of the dis
solved Congress representing that part
of the country, who endeavored to
of the dissolution of Congress. The iinan-
cial condition OF the republic. the minister
said. was firm and there was really nothing
to cause revolution.
Fonseca and the Newspapers.
LONDON, Nov. u.-Authentic advices. by
way of Montevideo. state that the Brazil
ian province of Rio Grande do Sui has Sc
ceded entirely from the Brazilian republic.
and the military in that province support
the revolution. No news dispatches have
reached London during the day di-
rect from Brazil. The strict censor
ship at Rio Janeiro accounts for
nothing coming through from there. But
surprise is expressed that no further word
has come from Pernambuco. where much
discomfort at Fonseca's dictatorship 10
known TO prevail. Some Brazilian news
appears to be getting across the Andos to
dispatch which reached London
this afternoon declares that ,Dio-
tator Fonseca has not contented him
self with strict enforcement of q press

in Rio de Janeiro which do not fully sup
port his autocratic pretentions TO suspend
publication. The only papers which are al
lowed to continue to appear regularly are
threewhich ore supporting his dictatorship.
These three are the Journal OF Commerce

A Hungry NeapoIitan Bourbon.
PARIS, Nov. 1.-THE deposed Bourbons.
who used to rule over the two Sicilies be-
fore Gsribaldi drove the son of Bomba from
the throne. seem great deal more excited
over the Brazilian situation than Dom
Pedro himself. Neapolitan Bourbons are
getting to be o hungry set Their means
are running short, and they no longer have
kingdom to squeeze for living. IL one
of them. as grandson of Dom Pedro of
Brazil /, should be elevated 10 the
throne on the ruins of the Brazilian re-
public. as suggested in the London TImes.
the whole family would come in for q rich
share of Brazilian spoils, which they badly
need. The grandsons. children Of the
Princess Januaria. are about as hopeless
specimens of royalty as Europe has pro-
duced in the present century. The elder.
Louis, upon whom the advocates of restora-
tion appear TO have centered. has q
morganatic wife whom be would doubtless
cast aside, if elected Emperor of Brazil. to
give place to some woman of royal degree.
No European nation, even among the
Balkan states. would think of accepting
him as o. ruler and those who know him
best say that as successor 90 Dom Pedro
he would present contrast likely TO startle
the Brazilians As he is about forty-five
years of age he no longer has the plea OF
youth for his follies. The friends in Paris
of the Brazilian republic express no appre-
hension that the country which elected
Dom Pedro will accept in bis place the
royal offspring of Italy.
