LONDON. Nov IA despatch received here
to-day from the Brazilian Minister OF Foreign
Affairs, Senior Chermont. says that the reports
declaring that disorders are prevalent In q
number OF places throughout the country are
not based on truth. and that the allegations
made that movement IL under way for the
restoration OF the monarchy are absolutely
without foundation.
Following close upon The sweeping denials
made by the Brazilian Foreign Minister comes
a despatch from Rio de Janeiro. which shows
that the state OF affairs Ia not 80 peaceful as
the Foreign Ministers despatch indicates. This
despatch says that Dictator da Fonseca has
suspended the operation OF the civil laws and
has annulled the guarantees to Brazilian citi-
zena This Is held here to show that the Die
tator depends upon the military and naval
forces to uphold him In his usurpation Of die
tatorlal power.
He has appointed commission for the sum-
mary trial Of those persons who decline to ac-
cept his dictatorship. and whom DO terms
insurgents. As evidence Of the truth OF the
reports that everything in the political situa-
ton In Brazil points to q revolution. the
despatch says that Gen. Fernandes. who IL
said to be one OF the principal leaders in the
revolutionary movement. has been arrested by
the Dictator's order and lodged In prison.
The despatch adds that discomfort Is spread
ing among the troops, and that the Rarrisons
stationed ut several places. numbering in all
about 1000 men. have declared against Da
Fonseca
To-day's advices from Rio Grande do Sui
give the reasons for the secession Of that
province. One is that. owing to the distance
OF the province from Rio do Janeiro. its inter-
ests do not attract the attention they deserve.
Another Is that the State prefers to govern It.
self. and does not agree with the general
policy guiding affairs at the north.
President do Fonseca all rumors to tho CON-
trary notwithstanding. is In apparently good
health. and able to make vigorous campaign.
It Is reported In Montevideo that Da Fonseca
has declared his positive resolution to put
down the rebellion in the south. and to en-
ploy, II need be- every able-bodied man within
reach Of his authority.
The Dictator has abolished exemption from
military service. which heretofore could be
purchased in Brazil. Hereafter rich and poor
will have to take their turns in the army. which
lie also being rapidly increased. The army Is
more efficient than 1t was under the empire.
and the navy has also been strengthened.
Tn ere Is. therefore. every prospect OF pro-
tracted struggle should Rio Grande do Sui per-
sist in its determination to secede.
