Oflcial Announcement Of Tranquility
Another TO tho Contrary.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12-Senor Mendonica.
Brazilian minister here, received a telegram
from tho home government to continue to
deny alarming news spread through Europe
in regard to the restoration Of the mon
archy and the disturbance of public order
in Brazil. Rio de Janisro is declared to be
perfectly quiet, as are all the states except
Rio Grande do Sui, where the government
has taken measures to put down the conflict
arising from struggle for supremacy be-
tween two parties. The government will
shortly fix day for congressional elections
tcration of the monarchy is opposed al
most universally, as matter definitely
settled. Minister Mendonica furnished q
copy of the above cablegram to Secretary
Blaine. He explains that 1t was sent by
Senor Chermont, Brazilian minister of for
eign relations, to the Lisbon mission, with
instructions to forward to Brazilian minis
ters in all European countries as we'll as to
the United States.
Following close upon the sweeping de-
mails made by the Brazilian foreign minis
ter, which assert that tranquility prevails
throughout Brazil, with tho exception OF
some local trouble in Rio Grande do sul,
comes cable direct from Rio Jarisro,
which shows the state of affairs unlike the
minister's dispatch indicates. AS evidence
of the truth OF reports that everything III
the political situation in Brazil points to
revolution against the dictator, the dispatch
says that General Fernandez, who ls said to
be one of the principal leaders in the revo-
lutionary movement. has been arrested by
the dictator's order and lodged in prison.
The dispatch says discomfort 10 spreading
among the tsoops and that garrisons sta
toned at several places, numbering IN all

Charges of lsias Against Information Conn

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-The bureau of
American republics has. from sem-official
sources, information.in regard TO the pres
ent condition of affairs in Brazil, to the
effect that telegraphic news coming from or
via London, is often entirely false and gem
orally distorted or magnifed. British jsal-
ousy of the increasing influence of the
United States in Brazil, and fear of losing
commercial supremacy in that country, are
motives which inspire false and alarming
dispatches concerning political disturbances
III Brazil. The situation at Rio Grande do
Sui is peculiar, Earty feeling hav-
ing been very warmly aroused
between republicans on the ono hand and
adherents OF the liberal party, partsans of
the deposed leader, Silvera Martinez, on
the other. About one- third of the popula-
tion OF that state is of German descent, and
q gentleman thoroughly acquainted with
them says among them national feeling is
much stronger than state attachment,
therefore he thinks no secession movement
can be permanently successful in the state.
There is a tendency among the smaller
states to merge themselves with their
larger neighbols and clause of the new
constitution provides for such action.

New YoRK, Nov. 12.-The Associated press

sequence of this depression and burden

constantly rising. Salaries and wages,
however, have not risen. Strikes
and disturbances, at one time almost un-
known in Brazil, have become frequent.
