said to be Of the opinion that the polit-
ical atmosphere of Rio Janeiro is not at
this present moment thoroughly beRe-
fetal to the Dictator's health.
There is no further news from the
Provinces of Pernambuco, Bahia and
Mina-G Geraes, or from Los Catilinos, but
on the other hand, the reports cabed
here to the effect that they have revolt
ed against the Dictatorship are not de-
MED by subsequent cable messages. On
the other hand the garrisons OF San
Gabriel and Bage, In Rio Grande DO
Sui, are said to have joined issue with
the National party.
The Governor of Rio Grande Do Sui,
who is an adherent of Da Fonseca's
party, has assured the supporters OF
the Dictator in that Province that a
fleet of Brazilian war vessels Will
shortly arrive off the coast OF kio k!i,o1
Grande Do Sui, and that no quarter Will
be shown to those who have ''revolted
against the Government. This
is pretty cool, considering that
the Dictator has dissolved Congress,
that his ruling is with the sword, ana
that the troops and navy remaining
LOYAL to him have either proclaimed hlm
or are upon the point of proclaimlng
him Dictator for life. In some respects
the present struggle recalls the coupS q
etdt of the famous Roman generals who
aimed for and sometimes attained the
throne of the Roman Empire. In other
and many more respects, it resembles
the rise of Balmaceda, and the sequel
may possibly resemble that unfortunate
rulers fall.
Da. Fonseca, from Sac Paulo, is dis
Matching some of the troops he has con-
centrated there to the assistance OF
Governor Castillo, in Rio Grande do
Sui, and the National party is said To
be determined, if possible, not to allow
the junction of those forces TO be ac'
complish without struggle. II Da
Fonseca ollows the Nationalist time to
gather themselves together, his rein
forcements will have TO fight their way
south, and the first important engage
ment Of the civil war may then be look
ed for.
To-day's cable advices add that the
Nationalists will use the utmost OF their
energy in trying to create a division II
Da Fonseca's rear, probably through the
assistance of the forces of the Province
OF Minas-Geraes. The Nationalists are
credited with having already made ar
rangements to place force OF 1000 mel
/ in the field.
In view Of these advices, and takinG
/ into consideration the continued stric
censorship observed over all telegraph
and cable offices in Brazil, no attention
is paid here to the denialS sent out bl
! De Fonseca's orders, TO the effect tina
all Brazilian Ministers abroad are u
continue to deny alarming reports
spread through Europe in regard to res
torstiOn of monarchy and disturbance
of public order in Brazil"
These orders also say that Rio de ia
neiro is perfectly quiet (Which Is no
denied, though Da Fonseca is reported
to have left that place for Sac Paulo)
but the orders to the Brazilian Minlste
in London add that Quiet prevails in al
hf,sfSc.etes- s'fsT explained, 1.-The Govern
ment has taken measure to put down th'
conflict arising from the struggle fol
supremacy between the two parties.
If the Brazilian Minister here is ordered
TO continue denying alarming reports a.
to the disturbance of public order il
| Brazil, how can he do so when the order'
sent to him contain the admission tina
| there is revolution in progress In Rio
/ Grande Do Sui? 1t is believed here tina
| the situation is much more serious thar
even the most alarming reports have Sc
| forth.
