Confirmation OF Yesterday,s Overturn
administer COnger's Notification to
the State Departmental Revolu-
tfonary Element Said to Favor Re-
Establishing n Monarchy.
s. WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The department
of state has received cable despatch from
Minister Conger confirming the report of
the dissolution of congress and the decla-
ration of martial law in Brazil.
The disturbed state of affairs in Brazil is
looked upon with deep concern here, in
view of the Importance of American in
terests in that country, and our close
trade relations with it. There is reason to
believe that the revolutionary movement
is being formed by a considerable party
which seek to re-establish monarchial
form of government in Brazil. Such re-
ports as was received here during the last
few months indicated steady strength
ening of the republican feeling among the
Brazilian people and, while the news of
the revolutionary movement causes much
surprise and will probably lead to the or
dering of some of our naval vessels to
points where trouble threatens, it is not

IN STATE OF SIEGE.
Rio JANE1Ro, Nov. Sit is officially an
nounced that the president has convened
the nation to elect new representatives at
a date to be determined upon later. The
federal capital (Rio Jsneiro), and the town
of Nictheroy Tor Praia Grande), five miles
east of the capital, have been declared to
be in a state of siege for two months.
The president has been provoked to take
these steps by the proceedings of congress
and by the efforts of the promoters of
restoration to overturn republican institu-
tions. The president in manifesto issued
declares himself to have been fully justi-
fed in taking the steps referred to.
The army and navy support the govern
ment, and public tranquility, according to
the official announcement, is perfect
throughout the states.
In conclusion, it is said that the govern
ment is ready to maintain order by every
means; that the constitution will be re-
spected, and that the government will
also be answerable for all national engage
ments.
The governors of the leading provinces
have congratulated President Da Fonseca
upon his success in maintaining order.
RIO JANE1Ro, Nov. 5.-The general stu
alton is unchanged. The crisis arose from
congress accusing President Da Fonseca of
having unwarrantably assumed sovereign
powers. The freedom of the press is sus-
pended. The embargo has been removed
from cipher kilograms, but press kilograms
and newspaper comments are subject to a
censorship.
