A REVOLT IN BRAZIL SUPPRESSED.

ITS OBJECT SAID TO HAVE BEEN TO MAKE Ex
GOVERNOR poRTELLA PRESIDENT.
Rio Janeigo. Dec. 1G.-A military revolt broke ont
at Nchheroy today. the object being to raise to the
Presidency Ex-Governor Portella, the leader OF the
hutonomist party. Federal troops at once dis
patched to the scene, and the revolt was soon sup
pressed. Two persons killed and many were
arrested II is rumorcd tat several influential men
are implicated in the plot. and that they Will be
arrested.
The wording Of this dispatch may
easlncs TO the friends OF the young South American
Republic. which has applied to Its elder sister, the
United States. to act In the person Of President
Harrison. as arbitrator in the BRAZILIAN Argentine
conflict about the Mlsones Territory The statement
cabled over that the promptly suppressed military
revolt at Nchtheroy had for Its object TO raise -
the Presidency Ex-Governor Portcla, the leader OF
tho Autonomist party" People might think that Il
Il revolt aimed at the overthrow Of the President
Of the Brazilian Republic ITSELF while the dispatch
evidently refers to local trouble in Of the twent,
states Of that Republic. The city OF NichtherOy Is
the capital Of the State Of Flo Janclro though not
the capital Of the whole country. General Portca
appointed Governor. President. OF rat state
under the Presidency OF the late DeOro da Fonseca
and he recec ed after the overthrow OF Fonsccas
dctatoral regime. II is more than probable, there
fore that the friends Of PortelLa attempted
belnous movement TO renstate him President OF
the State. and not to put him In the place Of
Florano Peixoo. the actual President Of the Brazilian
Republic.
since tho latter has been in revolt against
him has been Attempted and the revolutionary
breaks In the States Of Rio Grande do Sui. Fauo
and Matto Crosse, well the latest at
Nlchtheoy, had no other object than TO bring about
change in the state GovernorshIp. In these local
affairs the Federal Government ntcrvencs only when
the public order and peace are In danger. and up
to the present time these local troubles have been
settled without impaing the unity and tie general
prosperity OF the Republic Tie only parties which
are Struggling against the other In Brazil the
AutOncmlsts. VINO urge enlargement Of State rGis.
and the Parliamentary faction, who anAiou, not
deprive the central Federal power Of the authority
required for the welfare OF the Republic.
