lance.
OBJECT OF THE AGITATION.
LONDON, Nov. 6.-Advices received by
the Times to-day from Rio Grande do Sui
declare that the army and navy compelled
President Fonseca to assume the dictator
ship, and that there is considerable agita-
tion in the providence Of Rio Grande do
Sui, where the late events at Rio
Janeiro are considered to be but a prelude
to the restoration of the empire.
The Times dispatch continues: ''The latter
| is not yet certain, but personal observation
in 1890 induced the suspicion that the
change to republic was only cloak to
cover the ambition OF certain demogogues
and not the desire Of the nation. Jobbery,
public robbery and lowering of the rate of
exchange, which has occurred since, have
| engendered universal discomfort and were
the precursors OF the present cataclysm.
| North Brazil is decidedly in favor of an
| amnirn and npIy in CQntrQI EFQ viI Ia tho
republic popular. This may lead TO Dom
Pedro's grandson becoming chief Of state
under the regency of three prominent citi-
zens, repre- senting the northern, southern
and central provinces. and insurlng the
unity of Brazil.
| WON'T STAND A DICTATORSHIP.
PARIS. Nov. 6.-The Brazilian minister
here, IN an interview to-day, said: "Bra>
| Zilians will never accept Dictatorship and
| President Da Fonsecs will not dream Of it.
II he did, l should resign and ally myself
with the party that would seek to over
throw, even by violens means, su Oh dicta-
torship. Martial law has not been
proclaimed in the provinces because there
are no monarchlsts there Martial law has
been proclaimed only in Rio Janeiro as a
protection against monarchist attempts at
a restoration of the empire. From expe-
rience obtained when Emperor Dom Pedro
was dethroned, the congress is aware that it
cannot depend upon the support OF either
the army or navy. II it could it might
initiate Chile and seek to fight President
da Fonseca.
WHY THE TROOPS ARE FAITHFUL.
"The troops remain faithful because they
fear the monarchical menace lurking be-
hind eventual success for the congressional
lists. President da Fonseca is III, and has
neither the will nor the power to menace the
existence of the republic. Brazilian finances
are in good order. There is for the
next nine months money enough de-
posted in London to meet all
expenses abroad" When asked ''if iden-
tically the the same congress should be re-
elected" the minister replied that be had
no fear but that the election would turn in
favor of the government.
