the Insurgent Forces and Lively Times
May BE Anticipatad-The People OF
Rio Janelro Are Kept In tho Dark.
VALPARAISO, via GALVESTON, Nov. IA
It Is reported here today that a number Of
members OF the Brazilian congress, which
Dictator Fonseca recently dissolved, have
sought an asylum in the different foreign
legations in Rio Janeiro.
Uruguay has become alarmed at the
state Of affairs In Brazil and has massed
troops along the frontier line Of that coun-
try. On the night Of Nov. Q a revolt was
begun In the state Of Rio Grande do Sui.
At last accounts the greater part Of the
state was occupied by the rebels
Generals Fernandez and Santa Anna are
said to be at the head Of the herevolutionists,
and their ranks are reported to be receiv-
ing constant accessious.
Troops Hurried to the Scene.
The garrison at Yuguaron, it is said,
have joined the insurgents, and the artil-
lery has been placed at the disposal Of the
two generals who are in command. The
Castillo, deemed the revolt so serious that
he asked the central government for re-
endorsements. representing his position as
preearious. Dictator Fonseea at once sent
four gunboats, three monitors and two
| transports lorled with troops to the
scene Of the uprising.
Two other garrisons have also joined the
rebel forces in Rio Grande do Sui. While
| all this is taking place the residents Of Rio
Janeiro seem TO be kept in perfect igno-
rance Of these stirring events They be-
| lieye that everything is peaceful in the
| republic and that the discomfort against
| Fonseea Is not worth noticing.
The object OF the Conspirators.
The chiefs Of the revolution are said to
be Visconde Pelotas, Baron Jijuk and
Generals Astropillo and Fravares. Their
object seems to be to form national party
In opposition TO the dictator. This party
is to be made up Of both Liberals and Con-
servatives There are now two political
parties in Brazil. One favors Dictator
Fonseca and the other is opposed to his

Dr. Erwnv shielha nImaelf.

CATsKILL, n ", Nov. 12.-At the
George trial many physicians testified for
the defense, the evident purpose being to
show that Georges self styled kleptomania
rendered him irresponsible for other acts
The defense has endeavored to create the
impression that Miss Townsend came to
her death from the use Of drugs admins
tered by herself, and has sought in vain to
commit each Of the medical witnesses to
that theory. Dr. Erway denied positively
having performed or suggested any opera
tion upon Lotta Townsend to produce
abortion, but did perform an operation
after an attempt at abortion had been
made in order to save her life.
