LONDON. Nov. 2o.-News about the situation
in Brazil continues to be very meaRre and I'M
satisfactory. The last advices by ray Of San
tiago indicate that the Provisional Junta In
authority in the State OF Rio Grande do Sui Is
taking measures to strengthen Its position and
to maintain the opposition OF the State to Fon-
seca's Dictatorship.
Fonseca. on the other hand. is trying to win
the allegiance OF the Junta BY conciliatory
course. Baron Lucerna. the President OF Fon-
seca's Cabinet. has sent q despatch to the
Junta Offering. on the part Of the dictator. to
recognize any local Government the people OF
Rio Grande do Sulmay prefer. on the sole con-
dition that peace and tranquility be first re-
stored To this offer the Junta. after brief de-
liberation. replied that the forces would only
disarm when Fonseca should have resigned
and the national Congress- should have again
assembled.
The Exchange Telegraph Company has ad-
vices from Rio de Janeiro this afternoon. but
no indication is given as to how the dispatches
escaped suppression by the Censorship Ac-
cording to these advices the condition OF
affairs throughout Brazil is rapidly growing
more critical Everywhere discontent anu h as
ing more pronounced, Instead Of tranquility
and acquiescence in Fonseca's assumption OF
