Making an Explanation.

l was getting shaved in n one-chair
barber shop in mountain town in KEN
lucky, and there was only one other
man in the shop besides the barber.
The process was about half through
when some one was heard walking on
the verauda which surrounded the shop,
and pretty soon wild-looking face
peered through the window.
Say. Bill, does he'un want you?"
asked the barber of the other man.
Who all is it?"
"Simmons, / reckon"
"He'un can't want me. / never did
nothin' to him."
Stranger, does he'un want you'll"
asked the barber of me.
Who? Simmons as you call him."
Yes"
Never heard of him. Who is he
anyhow"
"Oh. he'un lives back yere bit.
Great hand to shute. Had any trouble
with him?"
NO"
"Well, I'll go out and explain to
he'un. Might shute through the win
dow If didn't"
He put down his razor and went out,
and when he returned Simmons was
with him. The shooter stepped around
and took a square look ut me. and then
heaved a sight of disappointment aud
said to the barber:
''Tain't he 'un. Sam, but so mighty
clus to it that / might hev popped
through the glass"
Never does any hurt to explain mat
ters." said the baber in reflective way
as Simmons went out. He 'un killed
two men in this chair. and don't like
the muss of il. That's what went out
to explain-if you was he 'un's meat, he
'un was to wait and drap you outside"

Associateo Prehs Dispatches.
RIO JANEIRo, Nov. 12.-Reports were
current in the city today to the effect
that the army and navy forces were
making preparations to proclaim Fon-
SEGA life dictator of Brazil. The govern
ment is securing full complement of
men for the warships by means of i'm
pressment. A press gang is actively
engaged in the work of pouncing upon
and forcibly conveying to the ships all
eligible men who, they think, would
make desirable members of a crew. A
number of officers have started from
Rio Grande do Sui, at which place it is
reported those who have taken part in
the revolutionary movement against the
dictator are now completely under the
control of the government.
THE REVOLT STILL SPREADING.
New YORK, Nov. 12.-The Herald's
Valparaiso cable says the latest advices
from Rio Grande do Sui, in Brazil, are
to the effect that the revolt against Fon-
SEGA continues spreading. The insur-
gents are increasing in number hourly,
and the rebels show great boldness.
One band fully armed attacked and cap
tured the town of Santa Ana. Yuga-
raon, Santa Victoria and Porto Allegro
are said to be the only towns that sup
port the dictatorship. All others in
Rio Grande do Sui are said to have
espoused the side of the rebels.
The revolutionists are reported to
have raised large bodies of volunteer
troops. The plans of the insurgents are
not yet fully understood, but it is said
they will lose no time in attacking the
towns which remain true to the dictator.
Their object seems to be to gain posses
sion of these places before the arrival OF
the gunboats, monitors and transports
which Fonseca has sent to quell the in
surrection. The $4,000 Germans in the
state are said to be among the warmest
partisans of Fonseca. A goodly portion
of them have served in the German
army. ~
There are some 5000 Brazilian SOL
diers in Rio Grande do Sui; they form
nearly one-half OF all of the government
forces. The spirit of discomfort has
often manifested itself in their ranks.
Viscount de Poletas. who is said to be
one of the chiefs of the revolutionists, is
so years old, and was former governor of
Rio Grande do Sui. He succeeded Mar
tinez. He was warm friend
of Martinez. and this fact be-
coming known to the new government,
he was ousted from Office, and Marechal
De Frota appointed in his place. He
also was friend OF Martinez and was
succeeded by the present governor,
Castillo, whose loyalty to Fonseca does
not appear to be in the least questioned.
1t is reported tonight that the states
of Bahia and Pernambuco, as we'll as
Rio Grande do Sui, intend to declare
their independence.

BRITISH JEALOUSY
Responsible for the. Alarming Reports
from Brazil.

Responsible for the. Alarming Reports
from Brazil.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-The bureau of
American republics has, from semi-ofi-
cial sources, information in regard to
the present condition of affairs in Brazil,
to the effect that telegraphic and other
news coming from or via London, is
often entirely false, and generally dis
torted and magnifed. British jealousy
OF the increasing influence of the United
States in Brazil, and the fear of
losing commercial supremacy in that
country, are the motives which inspire
false and alarming dispatches concern
ing political disturbances in Brazil.
The situation at Rio Grande do Sui is
peculiar, party feeling having been
warmly aroused between the Republi-
cans on the one hand, and the adher-
ents of the Liberal party, the par tisans
OF the disposed leader, ,Silveria Martinez,
on the other. About one-third of the
population of that state is of German
descent, and gentlemen thoroughly
acquainted with them, says among
them national feeling is much stronger
than attachment to the fatherland.
Therefore he thinks no secession move
ment can be permanently successful in
the state.
There is tendency among the smaller
states to merge themselves with their
larger neighbors, and a clause of the
new constitution provides for such ac-
tion.
