BEFORE THE REVOLUTION.
Affairs at Rio and the Provinces in a
Very PanickY State.

Very Panicky State.
New York, Nov. 12.-The Associated
Press has letter from its correspondent
in Rio Janeiro, Brazil, under date of
October 18th, which, while prior to the
breaking out of the revolution, contains
much of interest regarding the situation
in that country. The state of affairs,
the correspondent says, is far from sat-
irfactory. In the last two years the
country has been flooded with paper
money, now amounting nominally to
$3.50 000, 900, deprecated to less than 55
per cent of its nominal value. In conse-
quence of this depression and burden
some taxes, all the necessaries of life are
at exorbitant figures. and constantly
rieing. Salaries and wages, however,
have not risen. Strikes and disturb
ances, at one time almost unknown in
Brazil, have become frequent.
Rio Janeiro had just passed through
a serious disturbance, originating in a
ridiculously Insignificant cause, thesfact
showing that in the irritated state of
public feeling many persons are ready
to seize on any pretext to cause trouble.
The manager OF an opera company be-
ing unpopular, band of students one
night insisted on his coming before the
curtain to be hissed. He replied that
while duly grateful he must decline !;
whereupon the students persisted in
their demands until the police inter-
fered. Then followed a wild riot, in
which the interior of the opera house
was wrecked and many persons
injured. Next day the papers
attacked the police and speeches
were made on the street corners by
orators, among whom were some con
gressmen and officers of the army. At
night rioting began, and many persons
were wounded, two or more being killed.
The army seemed in great meas
against the police. The riotiug con-
tinued until next day, but the excite
ment then quieted down. The CORE
spondent predicts, however, that there
will be more rioting soon, both in Rio
Janeiro and elsewhere. Indeed, it was
reported at the date of his letter, that
the people OF Amazonas had revolted
against the government, and in Alagoas
there was a riot, in which three people
were killed and number wounded.
Congress for months had been at log
gerheads with the president, and had
accomplished little actual legislation.
The sanitary condition of the city is
very bad. In September there were
1922 deaths from smallpox. and some
from yellow fever. The committee on
diplomacy in the chamber of deputies
reported in favor of ratifying the treaty
for international arbitration, prepared
at the Pan n-American congress.
1t is stated that the Brazilian govern
ment will shortly ask for revision of
the reciprocity treaty with the United
States. 1t is hoped in Brazil that Amer
lea will agree to revision, which can
be effected in the interests OF both
nations.
The interior of the state of Bahai is
suffering very much from drought, in
consequence of which it is said the state
has lost by death and emigration over
10000 inhabitants.

BosToN, Nov. 12.-Lieutenant Com
mander Manney is authority for the
statement that the United States
cruiser Newark will sail Saturday next
from the Charleston navy yard. There
is little talk now among the officers
about the Chilean affair, and it is not
known whether the cruiser will be
ordered to that country or not. 1t is
thought, however, that she is going to
South America.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 42.-The United
States steamer Kearsarge has arrived at
st. Thomas, West Indies.

NOT so PEACEFUL.
Reports from British Sources Show ,
Alarming Condition.

Reports from British Sources Show an
Alarming Condition.
LONDON; Nov. 12.-Following close up
on the sweeping denials made by the
Brazilian foreign minister, which as
sert that tranquility prevails throughout
Brazil, with the exception of some local
trouble in Rio Grande do Sui, comes a
dispatch from Rio Janeiro which shows
that the state of affairs is not so peace
full as the foreign minister's dispatch
indicates. The evidence of reports is
that everything in the political situa-
ton in Brazil points to revolution
against the dictator.
A dispatch says General Fernandez,
who is one of the principal movers in
the revolt, has been arrested by the
dictator's order and lodged in prison
that discomfort is spreading among the
troops, and the garrison's stations at
several places, numbering in all about
1000 men, have declared against Da
Fonseca.
The Santiago correspondent of the
Times says: Further advices received
from Rio Grande do Sui are to the effect
that the garrisons at San Gabriel and
Para have also revolted against the die
tatorship OF Fonseca. The chief mem
bers OF the opposition are Viscount
Petotas, Baron Juguy and Generals
Astrogildo and Tavare. The garrisons
at Santa Ana and Iugurarao, the crews
of four gunboats, however, have declared
their readiness to support General Fon.

iron-clads, three transports and large
number of troops to the assistance Of
Senior Castillo, governor Of Rio Grande

TRANQUILITY KEIGNs.
The Brazilian Foreign Minister Denies
That Serious Trouble Exists.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Seflor Men
donca, the Brazilian minister here, has
received cablegram from the home
government, to continue to deny the
alarming rumors spread throughout
Europe in regard to the restoration OF
the monarchy and the disturbance of
public order in Brazil. Rio de Janeiro
is declared to be perfectly quiet. Per-
feet quiet is alleged to exist in all the
states except Rio Grande do Sui, where
the government has taken measures to
put down the conflict arising from the
struggle for supremacy between two
parties. The government will shortly
fix day for congressional elections, ac-
cording to the electoral law. The
restoration of the monarchy is opposed
almost universally, and that matter is
definitely settled.
The minister furnished copy of the
above cablegram to Secretary Blaine.
He explained that it was sent by Senior
Chermont, Brazilian minister of foreign
relations, to the Lisbon mission, with
instructions to forward it to the Bra
lillian ministers in all the European
countries, as we'll as the United States.

KoCH's LYMPH OF GREAT VALUE a
meeting of the New York Academy of Med
ioine Thursday night the physicians who
have been experimenting with Koch's
lymph for some time, submitted the results
of their Investigations. DR.. Alfred L.
Looms presided and about 100 physicians
were present. DR.. Wendt said that the re-
suits were such as to encourage him to con-
tinue the use of the lymph. DIR. Loomis
summed up all the reports thus: I'm the
lymph we have an agent which can do good
and very great harm. We may conclude
that it requires care In its use. as we'll as
more experience with 1t. I am fully Of the
opinion that 1t is going to take prominent
place In the treatment of tuberculosis, and
that 1t Is going to save more lives imperilled
by that disease than any other agent. Still
1t msy kill more than 1t saves II we use 1t
