TIE DErosED DICTATOR.
Rio JASEiRo, Nov. 24.-Only one lie
was lost in the revolution here yester-
day.
The inhabitants OF this city, whose
sympathics have been in the Congress
sional party, yesterday morning threw
oil all guise Of adherence TO the exist
ing government, openly declared their
determination to oppose the dictator
ship OF Da Fonscca and their resolve
that he must abandon the presidency
which he has held for only n compara-
lively brief period. Like Dom Pedro,
President Da Fonscca quietly yielded to
the demands OF the people that the ex-
ecutive OF the Brazilian government be
deposed from his high oIice. The up
rising was very successful, and the in
surgents accomplished the ends for
which they had SO long been secretly
planning.
CAPTURE OF THE NAVAL ARSENAL
Among the first things the revolution
lists did yesterday morning waa TO in
crease their store OF arms and ammun;-
ton. a strong force OF insurgents then
made an attack on the naval arsenal,
and alter weak and only half-hcarted
effort on the part OF those stationed at
the place to rcpulse the invaders, .thc
latter captured it and took possession
OF the arsena! and all the munitions OF
war.which il. contained.
Only few shots were exchanged,
and the poor resistance made by the de-
tenders OF the arsenal is shown by the
fact that none OF the insurgcnt force is
reported to have been killed or seriously
wounded. y laborer in the arsenal,
who was struck By one OF the shots fired
By the attacking party, is the only one
OF the contestants known to have lost
his Lille in the assault. One OF the can
non balls from the arsenal was badly
directed and struck the Candelebria
church, causing considerable damage to
the building.
4 PANIC IN TIE CITY.
The news OF the uprising had a very
disquieting effect and created the great
est alarm in this city among women and
children and those citizens who had not
taken arms in support OF either party.
When the fighting began at the arsenal,
and the rattle OF muSketrv and the
boom OF tho cannon were heard, all
were seized with wild panic ard fed
to places OF safety until the firing had
ceased and the conflict was at IN end.
The merchants and shopkecpers, fear
ful that their places would be looted by
the insurgents, or by thicving indiyidu-
ais, who would take advantage OF the
confusion aud excitement to pillage
their stock, made haste to close their
establishments and securely bolt and
bar both doors and windows and take
such other measures ior safety. OF their
property MS the occasion warranted. All
their hurried preparations were .un-
necessary, however, for, rs already de-
scribed, the attac, on the arsenal was
OF only short duration, and beyond the
smashingof the portions struck by tho
cannon ball, no further damage was in
ilictcd upon property and very little
