The Resignation of Fonseca Officially
Reported.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. - Minister
Mendonca has received cablegram
from the Brazilian minister of foreign
affairs, which officially confirms the
cable dispatches from Brazil about the
resignation Of President Fonseca and
stating that Vice President Picxotto had
succeeded him. Minister Mendonca
said that the receipt of the news gave
him great pleasure, as there had been
no bloodshed and tranquility will now
prevail, and the change will establish
harmony among the Brazilian people.
He said that Fonseca was
Not a Man Who Would Canse Bloodshcd
and would willingly sacrifice the honor
and glory Of his high position rather
than cause a civil war, and as the mp
rising in Brazil was national move
ment, the people not being in accord
with the policy of Fonseca, he bowed
to the inevitable and retired. He also
thought it was the desire of the people
of Brazil to support the deposed con-
gress and that President Piexotto would
be in thorough accord with it.
The London stories, he said, falsified
the condition of affairs in Brazil ard ri
no time did he place credence in them
as they contained many untruths.
Minister Mendonca is expecting fur
ther advices from Brazil in rcgard tt

may take place in it.

Fifty Mile an Hour Breeze Sails
Through the Monumental City.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 24.-This city was
visited by a furious gale during the
afternoon, the wind blowing at the
rate of fifty miles an hour
and signs, chimneys and everything
movable wassent flying. Advices from
neighboriny cities show that the hurri-
cane is general in this section,
being accompanied in many
instances by furious rain
storms amounting almost to cloudbursts.
1t will be some little time before COM
munication can be re-established with
Washington, and then it will have to be
by railroad, as it will be almost an i'm
possibility to get the wires into shape in
day. Floods have resulted from the
heavy rains in Maryland and Southeast
ern Pennsylvania, and it is believed that
reports of great damage and perhaps loss
of life will be received as soon as any
means can be had of conveying intelli-
gence. The gale on Chesapeake bay is
one of the hardest known for years. The
oyster smacks have run for shelter when
possible, but it is not deemed probable
that all have escaped.
