LONDON. Sept 22.-Advices early this
morning from Rio Janeiro were to the
effect that the city was still in the hands
OF the Government forces, but the surren-
der was momentarily expected.

beat TO quarters and guns shotted and run
out. Ali eyes were turned toward the flag
ship, whence the signal to com mepce firing
was expected every moment. The utmost
CONSERVATION prevailed among the inhab-
itants still in the city. Everybody ex-
pected the day would decide the fate of the
city. 1t would either be sheIled into sub

were to the effect that PeIxoto still held
the town and the threatened bombardment
had not yet begun. The Brozilian lega-

idle. and the story that they cannot leave
the harbor of Rio is disproved by the fact
that De Mello already sent one SQUADRON
to the south. He has also taken measures
to put his party into direct communication
with Europe.

rebels on delicate Diplomatic mission, it

The new Government when it is estab-
