WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-Senor Mendonca.
'the British minister here, has received the
following by cablegram from the Brazilian
minister OF foreign relations
Affirm that complete tranquility reigns IN all
OF the states except Rio Grande, where conflicts
tics occurred. with which, in virtue OF the const-
tuition, the federal government could not inter
ferc. Deny rnmors OF secession: the idea is con-
.demned by all Brazilians. Affirm that no state
thinks OF seeding: deny that members OF the
dissolved congress are III foreign legations as
refugees. Nearly all the members OF congress re-
go about the city at liberty. Thus far the gov
ernulent has taken no violent measures. day
will be set for the next election, and congress-
,convened,to o meet Immediately after. Gen. Deo-
doro will review the troops now at the anniver-
sary OF the proclamation of the republic
AS contirmatory evidence of the truth of
the statement that the troubles in Rio
'Grande are purely internal and have no
bearing on national affairs, Minister Men,
donca says that he has discovered that the
Junta in that state is composed of four per-
sons, instead of three, as at first reported.
1t was at first supposed Cassal Ribeiro was
one member, while it appears that two per-
sons were referred to, Senior Cassal and
Senior Ribeiro. Both OF these men are
prominent leaders in the state, so that the
.junta stands three republicans to one lib
eral. The latter, Gen. Rosario, however,
is not believed to cherish any monarchical
principles.
The minister has also received private
information that the length to which the
reported revolutionary movement in the
state OF Para went was the adoption by the
state assembly of a set of resolutions con-
denlning the action of the president and
approving the course pursued by congress.
He also says. ironically, that instead of
feeling anxiety for the welfare Of the Bra
lillian republic he is inclined to sympa-
thize with the unfortunate owners of Bra
lillian Bonds in England, whose holdings
appear to be declining as result of the
work Of unscrupulous speculators-
CONFLICTING REPORTS.
LONDON, Nov. 17.-News from Brazil con-
tinues OF the most conflicting character
official dispatches from Rio Janeiro assert
ing with unequivocal positiveness that the
country is tranquil, while telegrams from
Buenos Ayres and Santiago report Brazil
torn with dissensions and secession. 1t is
not known how such dispatche es reach Bue-
nos Ayres and Chill.
The latest official advice from Brazil
states that the trouble in Rio Grandc do Sui
is purely local and that the government of
that state is now in the hands OF a provis-
:ional junta. 1t is inferred from this that
the authorities at Rio regard the junta in
sympathy with the central government, but
this theory is contradicred by dispatches
from Santiago to the Times. These declare
that the provisional junta has taken abso-
lutte control and asserts that it has an army

A YOUTHFUL REPUBLIC.
Rio JANEIRo, Nov. 1.-THE second ami
versary of the republic of Brazil was OBJ
served to-day. A military review and fetes
were held in honor of the occasion. The
day passed quietly, the public taking scant
interest in the celebration. The situation
