New York, Nov. 1.-THE Herald has
these kilograms:
VALPARAISO, Chile, Nov. 13.-News is
received here to the effect that the re-
volt against Fonseca in the state of Rio
Grande do Sui has been so far COM
pletely successful. In one fight, in
which 5000 men were engaged, it is re-
ported the government troops, under
Gen. Isadore Gonzales, were defeated,
and the insurgent cavalry started to
move toward the north. 1t is also re-
ported that Gov. Castillo, Of Rio,
has decided to Join the insurrectionary
movement. The revolutionists claim
that the dictator is so sick that he finds
it impossible to continue the campaign
with any degree of activity. These
statements are evidently made by
the enemies of Fonseca, however, for
news comes from Rio Janeiro that he is
displaying great energy in his efforts to
crush the revolt. He is massing troops
and preparing warships for an early at
tack on the revolutionists. He has ap-
piled to the government of Uruguay for
permission to allow the passage OF
troops through that country, in order to
reach the state in which the uprising is,
Rio Grande do Sui. Uruguay, it is
said, has granted the permission re-
quested.
The revolt now involves all the towns
OF the entire state, with the exception
OF Porto Allegro. OF the entire navy,
only the gunboat Camoen has taken up
the cause of the revolution. The re-
mainder OF the navy has continued
faithful to Fonseca. In all probability
there will be crisis here before the end
OF the week, for it is expected that the
forces sent by the dictator will reach the
borders OF the state by that time.
DISTURBANCES IN BUENos AYREs.
Serious disturbances are reported at
the polls at the election in Buenos Ayr
yesterday. The elections resulted de-
cidedly in favor of the radicals.
CHILE PREPARING FOR WAR.
Many surprises are current about the
heavy purchases of Mannlicher rifles by
the Chilean government. 1t is the gen.
eral impression that the purchases indi-
cate that the government anticipates
trouble in the near future, and that war
is not improbable.
~ TIE CHILEAN CABINET.
There is general understanding in
Chile, though not officially announced,
that Admiral Montt will appoint two
Conservatives as councillors. This leaves
the Liberals majority of three in the
council, but it is satisfactory to Seflors
Walker Martinez and Irrarazabel, and
they have withdrawn their designations.
1t is thought Sefior Altimorarg will be
called upon to form a cabinet when
Montt has been formally installed as
president.
FEELING TONED DOWN.
Judge Foster is making all due haste
in the investigation into the recent at
tack on the Baltimore's sailors. There
seems to be every disposition to bring
the investigation to close as quickly as
possible, and the feeling against Ameri-
cans has toned down in a marked de-
gree.
Captain Jenkins, of the steamer
Keewanaw, was examined by Judge
Foster relative to the alleged assault on
Fireman Patrick Shields, of his ship.
Captain Jenkins was assured that a
thorough investigation of the case would
be made, and if it were proven that po-
lice committed the assault, they would
be punished.
