TIE STATE OF AFFAIRS
The Associated Press has Il letter from
its core pOndent in Rio JaneirO, Brazil,
under date Of October 14th, which, while
prior 10 the breaking out of the revolution,
contains mucn of interest regarding the
situation In that country. The state Of Hf-
fairs. says the correspondent. is far from sat
isfactory. In the last two years the country
has been flooded with paper money, now
amounting nominally to $3.50. 000, GEO. and it
Is depraci TED to less than So per cent Of its
nominal value. In consequence of this de-
preston and burdensome taxes, all the
neCesSarieS of life are at eXUTDitant figures
and constantly rising. Salaries and wages
however, have not risen. Strikes and dis
turbances, at one time almost unknown in
Brazil, have become frequent. Rio de
Janeiro had just passed through a serious
disturbance, originating In a rldiculouSly ill.,
significant cause.
THE FIRST DISTURBANCE.
Many facts show 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 COM
pany being unpopular band of students
one night insisted on his coming before the
curtain to be missed. He replied that while
! dUly grateful he must decline, wEereupon
! the students persisted in their demands
! until the polic- inIerfered. Then followed a
| wild riot, in which the interior of the opera
! house as wrecked and many persons in
! jured. The next day the papers attacked
! the police and speeches were made on the
| street corners by orators, among whom were
| some CongreSsmen and officers of the army.
| AT night rlotinE began and many persons
| We're wounded, two or more oeing killed. The
| army seemed IN great measure to sympa-
| the with the people against the police.
! Tie rioting continued Until the next day.
! but the excitement then Qn:eted down.
FURTHER TROUBLE FEARED.
| The correspondent confidently predicts,
| however, there VIII be more noting soon,
! both in Rio de Jaue!ro and elSeW hero. In
| deed, it was reported at the date OF his lei
| ter that the people of Amazonas had re-
| VOTED against the Governor and In AlagOas
| there was riot In which three were killed
| and Z number wounded. Congress for
| months has been at iOggerheads with the
| President, and has accomplished little ac-
| tual legislation. The sanitary condition Of
the city ,gorH was very ,9@5 9ag' In Septen,
| smallpox and some from yellow fever.
| The Committee on Diplomacy in the Cham
ber of Deputies have reported in favor of
| ratilying the tIeaty for international arbi-
| tratiOn prepared at the Pan American Con-
| grcss. 1t is stated that the Brazilian Gov
! ernment Will shortly ask for a revision of
! the reciprocity treaty with the United
| States. It is hoped III Brazil that America
| will agree 10 the revision, which can be
| effected III the interests of both nations.
The interior of the State Of Bahia is suffer
ing very much from drought, in conSe-
| quence OF which il is said the State has lost
by death and emigration over $4,000 inhab-
tants.

PUTTING DOWN THE REVOLT.
Rio JANEIRo, Nov. 12.-Reports were
| current in this city to-day to the effect that
the army and navy forces were making

| press gang being actively engaged in the
| work of pouncing upon and forcibly con-
vrying to the ships all eligible men whom
they think would make desirable mem
bers Of the crews. A number of officers
have started for Rio Grande do Sol, at which
| place, 1t is reported those who have taken
| part In the revolutionary movement against
| the Dictator are now completely under con-
troll Of the Government.
! RESULT OF BRITISH JEALOUSY
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-The Bureau of
American Republics has received from
| semi-Official sources information in regard
to the present condition of affairs in Brazil
to the effect that the tslegraphic and other
news coming from or via London is often
entirely false, and generally distorted or
| Tagnifed. British jealousy OF the increas-
ing influence of the United States in Brazi |
and the fear of losing commercial suprem-

inspire the false and alarming dispatches
| concerning the political disturbances in
| Brazil.
The situation at Rio Grande do Sui Is
peculiar, party feeling having been warmly
aroused between the Republicans on one
| hand and the adherents of the liberal party,
the partisans of TIE deposed leader, Silveria
| Martins, on the other. About one-third OF
the population of that State is If German
Descent and gentleman thoroughly ac-
quainted with them says that among them
national feeling is much stronger than
State attachment Therefore, he thinks no
secession movement can be permanently
successful in that State. There is a ten
