BRAzIL'S CRISIS.
British Protests Against Telegraph Censor
Ship-The AbdiCatiOn Confirmed.

LONDON, Nov. "a - Recent kilograms
from the British Minister in Brazil having
been altered in transmission, the British
Foreign Office protested against the liber-
ties taken by the Brazilian authorities. This
protest had a decided effect and the tele-
grams now come through without change.
The British Minister telegraphed to-day
that Da Fonseca's readiness to abdicate was
due TO the fact that lie is critically i'll.
An official telegram was received to-day
from the Brazilian Minister of Foreign At
fairs. stating that Marshal da Fonseca had
resigned the Dictatorship and had been
succeeded by Peix"tto, Vice-Chief.

Para. which remains silent, all the prov
inces concur i'll the dismissal of Da Fonseca.
Congress will probably ignore the recent
events. A new Cabinet has been formed as
follows: Alvers, Finance; Faria. Husban-
ary; Pereira, Justice; Oliviera, War;
Mello, Marine; Pallita. Foreign Affairs
another report gives Semaeo the war
portfolio.
THE REVOLUTION ENDED.
A dispatch from Buenos Avres says:
The news OF the abdicaton of Da F0n-
SEGA has been received in Rio Grande do
Sui with general satisfaction, and put al
END to the revolutionary movement in that
STATE. The river is reopened to commerce
and the insurgent troops are disbanding.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24-SenhOr Men
donca, the Brazilian Minister. to-day re-
celved cablegram from the Brazilian Min
lster OF Foreign Affairs confirming the press
dispatch announcing the resignation of Da
Eonseca and the assumption of office by
PeXotto. The Minister received the news
with pleasure, for he thinks it means COM
plete restoration OF harmony throughout
the country.
HOW THE NEWS COMES.
NEW YORK, Nov 24-Much interest is
taken here by merchants in the affairs OF
Brazil, but it is almost impossible to get re-
liable news from Rio de Janeiro. Ca
Bile communication to Brazil is effected
IN very roundabout way. The route lies
from New York to England, thence to Lis
BON. The next link in the chain is St. Vim
cent, in the Canary Islands. From there
the deep,sea cable runs across to Pernam-
buco, and so on down and up to the Bra
lillian cities on tile Atlantic coast.
There is also line from M0ntcvideo to
Buenos Ayres. Thence IL goes across the
Andes to Valparaiso, Chile. whence the con-
nection with New York is by the wel-known
route to Panama and overland across Cen
tral American TO Galveston, and so on.
But for this line the people of the United
States would not have learned rs quickly as
they did Of the trouble in Rio GraBde do
SUI. Tor tns censorship of the cable estab-
llshed by Da F0nseca from the start would
have barred out all such kilograms. The
revolution in Rio Grande do Sui, however,
having been successful, added to the fact
that 1t is the sOuthernmost province of Brazil,
enabled the people TO inform the outside
world of their dongs by the way of Monte
video TO the south aud aGr Oss the Andes to
the west and UP to Panama and so on to the
north.
BLooDsHED AVOIDED.
The Herald's Rio de Janeiro cable says:
Da Fonseca as soon as he retired from Office
issued manifesto stating that his main
object was to avoid blo0dshed. Without
doubt his first impulse was to resist the de-
mands of the army and navy; but when he
saw the strength of thsir fetcsS lie Yielded
The new President will reassemble Con-
gress as s1on as possible. Every one here
seems satisfied. The banks will resume at
once.
JOY AMONG THE INSURGENTS.
The Herald's Buenos Ayres special says:
The insurgents In Rio Grande under COM
mand OF OSeoriO were marching to invade
Santa Catalina and thence TO Rio de Janeiro
when the news of Da F0nsecas downfall
reached them. There is great rejoicing in
Rio Grande. The river squadron, notwith-
standing the overtures, had remained neu-
trail The navigation or the river will be
promptly established.
