NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-The Herald cable
gram from Valparaiso says: News was re-
ceived here to the effect that the revolt
against Da Fonseca in the State of Rio
Grande do Sui has been so far completely
successful In fight in which 5000 men
were engaged it is reported that the Govern
ment troops. under General Isadoro Con
zsles, were defeated and the insur-
gent cavalry started on the move to-
ward the north. 1t is also reported
that Governor Castillo of Rio de Janeiro has
decided to join the insurrectionary move
ment The reyOlutionsts claim that the
Dictator is so sick that he finds it impossible
to continue the campaign with any degree of
activity. These statements were evidently
made by the enemies of Da Fonseca. How
ever, news comes from Rio de Janero
that he is displaying great energy
in his efforts to crush the revolt.
He is massing troops and preparing
war-ships for an early attack on the revou-
tonists. He has applied to the Govern
meat of Uruguay for permission to allow
the pass age of troops through that country
in order to reach the Stat, of Rio Grande do
Sui Uruguay, it is said, has granted
the request The revolt now involves
all the towns of the State with the
exception of Porto Allegro. OF the entire
navy only the gunboat Camoen has taken
up the cause of the revolution. The bal
ance of the navy has remained faithful 10
Da Fonsera In all probability there will
be crisis before the end of next week, for
ii is expected that the forces sent by the
Dictator will reach the border of the State
by that time.
This evening the Brazilian Minister re-
ceived dispatch from his Government re-
questing him to notify the Brazilian Minis
ter to Mexico of his transfer to Uruguay.
No mention is made OF any trouble i'll the
provinces, and the Minister is convinced
that the condition of affairs cannot be
serious.
