TnERr seems 10 be good reason TO De-
lieve that the Brazilian rebellion IL
nearing its end. The election Of q pop
ular civilian TO the presidency has re-
moved the strongest justification OF re-
volt from the insurgents,and by this time
all hope OF the restoration OF the mon
archy must have disappeared. While
tho rebel troops in the south have
achieved some successes these accom-
plishments have been more than offset
by the reversss suffered by the fleet at
Rio, and the only hope OF final victory
ever entertained by the followers Of de
Mello aud da Cana has been in the
navy. The Aquidaban is said to be the
only one Of their vessels that has not
been shot full o. holes by the fire OF the
shore batteries. The delay in sending
the loyal fleet to Rio 10 give battle 10
the rebels Is said to be due TO the disin-
clination OF Peixoto's government to
bring about an engagement that Will IN
evitably result in the destruction OF valu-
able warships, believing that by waiting
the rebels will cease their warfare and the
government will peaceably come into
possession Of their ships. News Of the
rebellion coming from Montevideo Is al
ways unfavorable 10 the loyal forces,
for the reason that the rebels are
strongest in the country bordering Uru-
quay and Argentine. The rapid spread
Of the yellow fever 10 Rio has made it
all the more to be hoped that the rebel
lion will speedily end, so that more at
tention may be given to the care Of the
sick and to preventing the further
spread OF the plague.
