VALPARAISO, Chill, (via Galveston, Tex,
Nov. 1l.-lBy Mexican Gable to the New
York Herald-Special to THE BEE. lit is
reported here tonight that a number OF men,
bers of the Brazilian congress-, which Dicta-
tator da Fonseca recently dissolved, have
sought an asylum in the different 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 country.
am just in receipt Of a dispatch from
Buenos Ayres, which states that on the
night Of November 9 a revolt was begun in
the state of Rio Grande do Sui, and that it
spread rapidly. 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 revolutionists, and their
ranks are reported to oe receiving constant
accessions. The garrison at Yugaron, it Is
said, has joined the insurgents, and the
artillery has been placed at the disposal of
the two generals who are in command.
Government Troops Sent Out.
The dictator's governor in Rio Grande do
Sui, Castilha, deemed the revolt so serious
that he asked the central government for
achievements, representing his position as
precarious. In compliance with his request,
Dictator da Fonseca at once sent four gun
boats, three monitors and two transports,
loaded with troops, to the scene of the up
rising. The troops will be landed at the
ports Of Rio Grande do Sui, Pelodas ana
San Jose de Norte, at the mouth of the bay
of Patos.

the garrison at Yugaron going over
to the insurgents, comes word that two other
garrisons have also joined the rebel forces in
Rio Grande do Sui, While all this is taking
place the residents of Rio Jaueiro seem to be
kept IN perfect ignorance Of these stirring
events. They believe that everything is
peaceful in the republic and that the discon-
tent against Fonseca is not worth noticing.
Their ignorance is owing to the fact that the
government is suppressing all kilograms that
describe the true situation of affairs in the
state of Rio Grande do Sui.
Forming n New Party.
The chiefs of the revolution are said to
be Viscoude Pelotas, Baron Jijuk and Cen
erals Astropillo and Travares. Their object
seems TO be to form a national party in oppo-
sition to the dictator. This party is to De
made up of both liberals Nd conservatives.
There are now two political parties III Brazil,
one favoring Dictator da Fonseca and the
other is opposed to his government.
1t is believed that ola Fonseca's troops
Will act on the defensive. The
probabilities are the authorities will meet
with a very lively time in Rio Grande
do Sui, The persons hitherto holding Office
but now opposed to Da Fonseca are in des-
titute circumstances. The dictator's decree
in which he anaulled the privileges of con-
gress also did away with other concessions
which were granted when the republican
form of government was established.
The bank exchange at last accounts
closed at 1891.
To show how blind the residents of Rio
Janeiro are to the real condition of affairs in
Rio Grande do Sui. l received this morning
advlces from Brazil's capital stating that
there was no indication of any serious spirit
of revolt against Fonseca insthe district or in
any OF the states. Business there, it was
SAID, was resuming its normal condition and
quietude prevailed. The Brazilian minister
to Chill, Senore Carvalcanti, has rendered
his resignation as the representative Of Fon-
SEGA at Santiago. Under date of November
4 he received a notification that the dictator
ship had been established and reasons were
given for the same.
