PARIS. Nov. 19.-Senor Eicuna, who
was selected by Balmaceda to sue
ceed him in the Presidency of Chile, ar
rived here to-day. Regarding affairs in
Chile, he refused to talk until the public
mind there became tranquil and the po-
litical situation normal. He further said
that when the proper time comes he will
publish documents in his possession con-
tanning facts regarding these matters,
and leave history to pronounce the ver-
dict as to the part he played in Balma-
ceda's Government.
Referring to the general situation in
South America, the Senor said on ac-
count of the Chilean revolution, which
had an unsettling influence on the whole
continent, general conflict was liable to
| break out at any moment. Brazil, since
the proclamation of the republic has
been unable to establish a government
having the essential elements of perma-
| nence. Divergent interests, political and
economic, and the dissimilar sympathies.
customs and temperaments of the inhabi-
tants would inevitably lead to a separa-
| ton Of the country into at least two sec
tions, north and south.
| In the Argentine serious changes are
| taking place, and general outbreak of
discomfort is impending. Even in Peru
! indications of movements ofa disquieting
nature are observable by student Of
/ politics.

PURPOSE OF THE REVOLT.
LONDON, Nov. 19.-The Times has the
! following from its special correspondent:
Il have now trustworthy information
! that the outbreak in the Province of Rio
| Grande do sui up to the present moment
has not had for its purpose either the res
] toration of the monarchy or succession.
! The Republican party is inclined to sepa-
ration, but the Monarchist element is
strongly for unity. The leaders of the
movement are chiefly Monarchists who
| belonged under the Empire to the Con-
| Servative and Liberal parties, and they
are Joined by different Republicans
headed by Senior Dimitrie Ribelre, who
was for a few weeks Minister of Agri-
! 41,
but retired on account of his opposition
to the disastrous financial policy of DIR.
Barboza. The movement has been
chiefly against the Republican minority,
which is headed by Governor Carvi, who
was tyranniZing over Rio GraDde. The
| Junta says it works for the restoration of
ancient liberties which have been sup
pressed during the past two years, and it
demands, also, the deposition of Marshal
! FonSeca and the organization of ma
tional union.'
| THE STORIES DIFFER.
New YORK, Nov. I9.-The Herald has
cable dispatch from Valparaiso about
Brazilian affairs. 1t says that two differ
ent stories came tonight. One is to the
] effect that Fonseca has heard from the
! Governors of all the States, announcing
their adherence to the new form of gov
| ernment. On the other hand it is as
serted that the insurgents in Rio
| Grande are still in high feather. They
have selected General Ossorio as
miral Waudenkolk, it is asserted, has de-
serted Fonseca and Joined the insur-
! gents. The Government of Uruguay has
proclaimed strict neutrality.
Passengers from Rio do Sui say the
| revolution was started by the Captain of
| the frigate Rodrigo Rocha, in conjunc-
! tion with certain garriSons of the State
| &
pedoes and troops. Buoys have been re-
moved by order Of the Uruguay Govern
ment. Only foreign warships and mer-
| chantmen are allowed passage.
Baron Lucerna, of President Fonseca's s
! Council of Ministers, has proposed to the
| insurgents that they state the causes of
their grievances, and on what condition
| they will diSperse their forces and bring
! the insurrection to an end.
The Provisional Junta is having inter-
necine strife and DIR. Brazil and Arros
/ Cassal have resigned. Passengers inst in
from Northern Brazil at Montevideo say
| the Northern States of the Republic are
discontinued, and preparations are being
made for an outbreak against the dicta-
| tor. Fonseca's ships so far failed to force
the passage of the Rio Grande.

Captain Schley to-day received letter
from Judge Eos ter granting the request
that our representatives here be furnished
by the court OF inquiry with copies of all
dispositions made before it in the investi-

solutely refused on all previous occasions.
There is no doubt the Chilean authori-
ties have rejected the London Times self
proffered advice, through it's sensational
correspondent Thomson, that the United
States reasonable demands be treated as
q bluff, and finding our Government
maintaining a fair but firm attitude, de-

Il hear rumors that much speculation
is INDUCED in here and at Santiago as to
the reason for the dispatch of American
war vessels to the Pacific squadron. There
IS no doubt this news had salutary eff
feet in Chile.
