WAsHHGToE, Nov 5.-A dispatch
which has been received from Rio
Janeiro, brings news OF what seems 10
be another revolution. Congress, the
dispatch says, has been dissolved and
MARTA law proclaimed at Rio Jane iro
and throughout the provinces The ca
blegram also announces that dictator
ship has Ueen established in Brazil
Fuller dispatches regarding the re-
volution announced to have occurred in
Brazil are anxiously awaited here by
dnanoiers and merchants who have large
interes Is at stake in that country. 1t is
recalled that early in October and again
about the middle Of October similar re-
ports were circulated regarding the con
dition OF Brazil
An Investigation resulted in an official
statement TO the effect that perfect or
der prevailed everywhere, and that the
financial condition of the country was
never better. 10 was also asserted at
the time that it was expected chat a sur
plus amounting to SO OJO, 900 would be
shown by the budget Of 1892. Marshal
UeOdOrO da Fuuseca, at that period, was
announced to have entirely recovered
from the illness he had been suffering
from for some time.
The reported revolutionary movement
Is likely to cause another demand upon
the already strained resources of the
navy, for it is regarded rs necessary for
the protection of American interests
that United States naval force BIZ at
hand there in case Of = formidable out
break. The ouly vessels regularly at
Uached TO The South Atlantic station now
in the vicinity Of Rio de JHu8irO are the
Essex and the Tallapoosa. The first is
an old wooden cruiser, and the second is
worn out, unserviceable, and offered for
sale.
The Boston is somewhere OF the Bra
lillian coast en- route to the Pacific, but
it is not probable that she will be de-
tained. The Yorktown, however, was at
Bahia, Brazil Saturday, and she will
probably bs ordered by cable to remain
there or return to Santos, notwithstand-
ing the fact that she is also on her way
to the Pacific station. Meanwhile the
work of repair on the Newark At Boston
Is being pressed, and in case Of emerg-
ency Admiral Gherardi's flagship, the
Philadelphia, now on her way to the
West Indies from New York, could be
ordered by cable to proceed to Rio de
j JRneiro.
Shat there were disturbances of SER
io,.c nature at Rio Janeiro early in Octo-
ber was not entirely denied, but it was
said that they were Of a purely local
character. They started during the
night Of Oct 8, at the italian theatre,
and the trouble soon spread to adjacent
streets.
The police arrested many Of the riot
,ers, but, being outnumbered, were com
PEELED to call upon the troops for protec
tfon. A force Of cavalry consequently
was sent to the scene, and the trooper
were compelled to make several charge
upon the mob bsfors order was restored.
A number Of psopl6 Wsro killed an'
many moro were injured during the dis
Eurbanos, which Is said to hava Is Origin
in a political intrigue or conspiracy re
rardiug tho succession to the Presi
aienoy the question having assume.
