London, Nov. 27.-The Times has this
dispatch, dated last Thursday, from Rio
de Janeiro: 1.-THE desultory firing con-
tinues day and night. A small party of
sailors landed at Armacao on Monday,
and We're attacked by President Peixoto's s
men. The latter lost two officers and
thirty men killed. Five sailors were
wounded.
During the past week more than 200
troops have been killed by the artillery
fire on the Nictheroy side of the harbor.
The insurgent Gen. Saraiva, has 5000 men
near Curitiba, province of Sac Paulo.
THE government has sent 1000 men to
strengthen the garrison at Santos.
AN ATTEMPT TO LAND 5000 MEN.
Transports are expected to arrive at
Desterro next week for the purpose of
embarking 5000 men, who will try to
effect landing here. Both sides are
confident of victory, but the insurgents
appear to be gaining ground
"The prisons here contain 800 persons,
including fifty army officers, suspected of
completely in the revolt.
THE postoffice seizes letters addressed
to suspects in an unwarranted manner
Many persons are injured daily in riots by
rifle and machine gun FIRE. Continual an
imosity is shown by the semi-ot1icial press
and other newspapers against the for
eigners, whom they constantly accuse of
favoring the insurgents.
PoRTUGAL's MINISTER RECALLED.
"The Portuguese minister was recalled,
owing to the representations of the gov
ernment, which endeavors, through the
press, to misrepresent in every way the
actions of foreigners and the commanders
of foreign warships, although its accusa-
tions are absolutely groundless. The in
trigues of the Brazilian minister in
Europe with the object of causing the re-
call of diplomatists from Rio deserve
contempt.
Business is suffering greatly, and the
merchants complain bitterly.
"A meeting of the insurgent leaders on
Saturday decided that no immediate
proclamation of monarchy should be
made, the question being left for the de-
cision of congress in case the revolution
succeeds. The majority of the insurgents
favor the restoration of the monarchy
with the Duke OF Gran Para as emperor
The insurgents have resolved not to bonn
bard Rio unless the government batteries
in the city fire up on the ships from the
shore.
"The British senior officer reports that
a government battery yesterday shelled a
launch flying the white ensign and carry
ing British officer and crew. The Brit
ish minister to-day protested. -
SINKING OF THE JAvARY.
AS regards the sinking of the insurgent
warship Javary the correspondent says
The firing of her heavy guns started the
plates Of her fore compartments and the
crew could not exclude the water. The
warship listed to starboard at ! o'clock
and fOundered headforemost at 4. When
the water reached her engines there was
a terrific explosion. All the crew were
saved" "
The Times correspondent has private
information that Para yesterday re-
Volted, both the artillery on shore and
the ships in the harbor being taken over
to the insurgents. This" says the in
formant of the Times, lis a most serious
blow to the government owing to the
large revenue derived from this port 1t
is believed that the government is seri-
ously crippled financially"
A dispatch received from Buenos Ayres
last evening said "The battery of Sac
Jao has bombarded Fort Villegaignon,
and has seriously damaged the works.
