:. NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-The effects OF the
3: rebellion OF Admiral Mello are beginning
to be seriously felt in tnis city. The coffee
market is duE and the price of rubber has
been going up for the last two days.
- Nearly all the rubber which comes to
New York is brought from Para, and
:: when the price began 10 go up it occa-
j.: stoned some astODishment, as Para is in the
+=most northern part of Brazil and is far re-
!: moved from the scene of hoStilties. The
cause Of the increase in price leaked oct
to-day, however. when it was learned
from private advices that ship of Mello's,
:. probably the Republica, was cruising off
= the mouth of the AmPZon awaiting the ar
- rival In Brazilian waters of the cruisers
Nlctheroy and America.
-. a dispatch from Brazil was published
: day or two ago stating that the State of
para mad seeded from the Brazilian re-
public, and that an embargo had been
: placed on vessels in that port. Cipher dis.
patches from Para were received in this
city to-day which denied his. and said that
ships were leaving the port as usual. The
presence of the rebel man-of-war off the
mouth OF the Amazon is, however. source
of much discomfort to merchants of this
Para for cargOes.
=: The Reputllca, or whatever ship Mello
has sent up to look out for the feet from
New York, looked in al Pernambuco on
her way up the coast, and occasioned 2
scare there, which has already been re-
ported. and also gave rise to the rumor
that the city had been declared in a state
Of siege.
Admiral Duarte. who will assume COM
mand Of the new cruisers upon their ar
rival in Brazilian waters, has arrived at
Pernambuco. where the fleet will first
touch. The AdmiraPS Instructions are
to avoid fight with th1 rebel feet if pos
sibe. The Nictfs2T05 has arrived safely at
ST. Thomas al is replenishing her coal

harbor at will. Torpedo boats and steam
launches go in and cut of the harbOr every
day, and the feet of market boats comes in
every morning to bring supplies to the
fleet. How do you suppose the admiral
could have held out all this time if he
could not get supplies and bad no commu-
:;nication with the shore? The entire
State of Santa Catarina has declared for
Melio's cause. and he is abundantly sup
piled with everything he wants. Some
