Still Conflicting.

LONDON, Nov. 16-The news from Bra
I'll continues of the most conflicting charac-
ter, official dispatches from Rio de
Janeiro asserting with unequivocal
positiveness that the country is
absolutely tranquil, while kilograms
from Buenos Ayres and Santiago report
Brazil to be torn with dissens ons
and secession. The actual facts will proba-
bly, not be known until mail advices are re-
ceived, as official censorship prevents
dispatches not approved by the
government reaching Europe direct.
1t is not known how such dispatches
reach Buenos Ayres and Chill. The latest
official advices from Brazil give the status
of the trouble in Rio Grande do Sui, and
that the government of that state is now in
the hands of a provisional iunta. 1t is in
ferred from this that the au-
thorities at Rio regard the
iunta in sympathy with the central
government, but this story is contradicted
by dispatches from Santiago to the Times
These declare that the provisional junta has
taken absolute control, and asserts that it
has an army Of 30,O00 men armed with
rifles. 1t is short of artillery, and has but
one war vessel, river monitor lightly
armed.

Brazilian News.

BuENos AYREs, Nov. 16.-The news
from Brazil indicates the rapid spread of
the revolution through Rio Grande Do Sui.
The garrison at Itagui surrendered with
out battle. Porto Allegro. the capital of
the state, is in the hands of the revolution
lists and all telegraph lines in the interior
are cut. 1t is said several Northern prov
inces will join the revolutionists. Fonseca's
feet has not yet arrived at any of the ports
in Rio Grande do Sui. The provisional
junta has issued a proclamation protesting
against the acts of Fonseca and called upon
all cities of Rio Grande do Sui to appoint
revolutionary committees to enlist men and
secure arms.
In Rio Janeiro Fonseca is augmenting his
forces, and great excitement prevails. De-
serters to the revolutionists are armed with
American rifles and four krupp guns.
Fonseca has 20, 600 men in Rio, and it is be-
Iieved that he will triumph. a dispatch
from Montevideo says the navy is divided
in its sympathy.

Special TO the Gazette
New YORK. Nov. 16.-An encouraging
feature in the general improvement of bust

than last year. This difference had stead
lily increased until in the third week of
October eighty-two roads showed earnings
of 10. 81 per cent greater than in the same
week of 1890 The Chronicle prints tables
showing that whereas the earnings on So,
ia miles of road in June were Sil5 per mile,
the earnings on 10000 miles of road in
October were on an average of $3.50 per
mile as compared With S54S per mile on
81 500 miles in the year 1889.
