MEN-oF-wAR ON THEIR WAY TO RIO

LONDON, Nov IS.-No confirmation
has yet been received of the Exchange
Telegraph COmpany's Rio de Janefro ad-
vices Of yesterday reporting that naval
anu military officers stationed in Para
had taken steps looking to the declaration
OF the independence of that State. The
most important news received here to-
day relates to affairs in the State of Rio
Grande do Sui. This is given in dis
patch to the Times from Santiago de
Chile.
According to this, the differences which
have been interfering with perfect unity
of action by the Provisional Junta, now
in authority in that State, are disappear
ing, and members of the Junta are now
acting in harmony. They have made one
of their number, DR.. Assiz Brazil, Min
lister of War. Active measures are being
taken to improve the defenses and in
crease the effective strength of the army.
The mouth of the Rio Grande the prin-
cipal river of the State, is obstructed by
sinking two ships in the channel and the
river is protected by heavy artillery. The
Junta is i'll full control of all military
stores in the State and of the Government
factory for making munitions of war.
The provincial banks and private per-
sons are offering to furnish the ,Junta
with ample funds to carry forward the
plans that may be decided upon for
maintaining the independence of the
State.
The officers sent by the Dictator to
take the places of those who cast their
fortunes with the insurgents in Rio
Grande do Sui, have arrived at Monte
video, and propose to proceed at once to
their destination. They assert that sew
eral men-of-war are on the way to Rio
Grande, and others are being made ready
to follow.

SUCCESSFUL RAIN-MAKING.
Explosives Cause Fall of Water in
New York.

CRoToN LANDING On. W, Nov. 1S.-
Several men employed by the fireworks
manufacturing concern arrived here yes
terday, and brought with them an outfit
of explosives which were to be fired into
the clouds to produce rain. The first
charge was 200 pounds of explosives. AL
most Immediately after entering the
clouds there was a great rift, and per-
feet deluge of water began falling-such
an outpouring that filled every stream to
overfiowing within few hours. The
explosion was made directly over the
dam, and the torrents of water that fell
insured a great increase of the quantity
OF water thereabouts. Reports from the
adjacent territory are to the effect that the
rainfall extended over an area OF about
one square mile, the downpour being re-
ported as tremendous. The supply of
water for New York city is derived from
Croton Lake, and this fall will greatly
allay the fears of a water famine. which
have prevailed for several days past.
