 WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-A dispatch which has been received from Rio Janeiro, brings news of what seems to be another revolution. Congress, the dispatch says, has been dissolved and marti al law proclaimed at Rio Janeiro and throughout the provinces. The ca blegram also announces that a dictator ship has been established in Brazil
 Fuller dispatches regarding the re- volution announced to have occurred in Brazil are anxiously awaited here by financiers and merchants who have large interes ts at stake in that country. It is recalled that early in October and again about the middle of October similar re- ports were circulated regarding the con- dition of Brazil.
 An investigation resulted in an official statement to the effect that perfect or der prevailed everywhere, and that the financial condition of the country was never better. It was also asserted at the time that it was expected that sur plus amounting to $15, 900, 900 would be shown by the budget of 1892. Marshal Deodoro da Fonseca, at that period, was announced to have entirely recovered from the illness he had been suffering from for some time.
 The reported revolutionary movement is likely to cause. another demand upon the already strained resources of the navy, for it is regarded as necessary for the protection of American interests that a United States naval force bs at | hand there in case of 8 formidable out break. The only vessels regularly at tached to the South Atlantic station now in the vicinity of Rio de Janeiro are the Essex and the Tallapoosa. The first is an old wooden cruiser, and the second is worn out unserviceable, and offered for . Sale.
 | The Boston is somewhere of the Bra zilian coast en route to the Pacific, but | it is not probable that she will be de- tained. The Yorktown, however, was at Bahia, Brazil, Saturday, and she will probably be ordered by cable to remain there or return to Santos, notwithstand- ing the fact that she is also on her way to the Pacific station. Meanwhile the work of repair on the Newark at Bos ton is being pressed, and in case of emerg- | 60Cy AOnlrdL IAe Philadelphia, now on her way to the West Indies from New York, could bs ordered by cable to proceed to Rio de Janeiro.
 That there were disturbances of ser ious nature at Rio Janeiro early in Octo- Der was not entirely denied, but it was said that they were of purely local character. They started during the night of Oct. 8, at the Italian theatre, and the trouble soon spread to adjacent streets.
 The police arrested many of the riot. CTS, but, being outnumbered, were com pelled to call upon the troops for protec tion. A force of cavalry, consequently, was sent to the scene, and the troopers were compelled to make several charges upon the mob before order was restored.
 A number of people were killed and many more were injured during tho dis turbance, which is said to have it's origin in political intrigue or conspiracy re- garding the succession to the Presi- dency, the question having assumed prominence owing to the reported weak state of the Presidents health.
