the New Reciprocity Treaty.
NEW YORK. Nov. 5.-Senor An De Paulo
Coelho, editor of the United States of Bra
zil, and, until Dom Pedro's overthrow, an
exile from Brazil. promoter OF America
Brazilian enterprises and constant corre-
spondent of the most important officials at
Rio do Janeiro. had the following TO say
this afternoon relative to the troubles now
existing in the South American republic:
There is no revolution in Brazil. nor
will there be one. j do not hesitate 20 say
that the existing troubles may be traced to
the English and their great chagrin at the
treaty of reciprocity recently made with
this country. Ever since President Da
Fonseca signed the treaty English agents
have been bowling into the ears of the
younger Congressmel the great injustice
done to Brazil and the vast sums of money
thereby lost and il seems not without ef-
feet. Thus lmpeiled the younger Congress
men have carried on the fight, and IN
some respects. 10 resembled the Platt-Conk-
ling incident of a few years sago here. When
this became apparent to Da Fonseca he

ing reports. be placed censorship on tae
cable. etc.
"But Forseca is not what he has been
pictured. He accepted the presidency much
against his will. 1t was positively a sacri-

peace and progress. Themarkets are opened
TO America. and England IS, as ever. en-
vious but discreet"
The intelligence of the trouble IN Brazil

Arthur L. De Macedo. IL do not know

dispatch from Rio Janeiro TO firm IN this

Brazilfv he was asked.
Not the slightest: nor had any one else.
When read the private cable / immedi-

here concerning the trouble and asked for
information. To that have not so far re-
ceived an answer"
What do you infer from the action OF
Congress in fixing the process OF impeach-
ment of the President over his vetof"

Can you assign any reason for the re-
ported trouble in Brazilp
None in the least. liz may be. however,
