THE WAR IN BRAZIL.
Indications Are That tho Government VIII
BE overt II roWu.

Washington, September 14-Additional
adyices received from Rio Janeiro this even
Ing point IN most positive manner to tho
overthrow of the present government. The
dissatisfaction Is not confined to the navy
alone, but Is spreading to the army where
the opposition to the government is bc-
coming most prominent. 1t is said the ad-
miral of the navy would never have dared
to take the bold step he has without aSsuT-
anceS of support from portion of The
army at least. 1t is believed that dis
patches viii very soon be received here an
nouncing the success of the Insurgents.
Senior de Mondonca, the Brazilian minis

venting the United States from furnishing

interests IN BraXil endangered ny Inc fpNOlI-
ti0nary outbreak. The cruiser Charleston is
delayed in sailing from Monteyideo for Rio by
an accident to her steering gear. The cruiser

that it was necessary for her to comply with
certain conditions preliminary to her final ac-
ceptauce by the government. and the cruiser
Newark cannot leave Norfolk for Rio until

Rio. This morning dispatch was received
at the navy department from the commander
Captain II 4. Picking, stating that the
CharlestoD's steering gear had broken down
