Rio DE JANEIRo. March 25.-Affairs
here are rapidly resuming their normal
aspect, and sside from the damage to
the forts and along the water front by
the firing OF the insurgent warships, all
traces of warfare have disappeared.
The past week has been one
Of continual festivity, marked by the
constant firing of salutes and the
holding of reviews. The usual relig-
ious professions we're held and the
church services were very largely at
tended. For months pact the city was
filed with troops and almost everything
partook OF military character. Now
the troops, or at least the greater num-
Der OF them, will go south to reinforce
the government forces in the states
where the insurgents are etill opposing
the federal forcee.
The harbor has been deserted by for
eign ships and the discharging OF mer-
chant vessels ie proceeding as before the
revolution. The government entertaine
no fear of much further trouble in tho
south. The insurgent sympathizers
claim that the placing OF Admiral de
Mello at the head of the provisional,
government will attract persona to the
rebel standard. but the government here
believes that the insurgent forces will
gradually melt away until nothing re-
mains.
1t is reported here that the rebels are
already retreating from Rio Grande do
Sui, and it is thought by the time the
government reiniorcements arrive there
there will be no enemy to engage. AT
any rate it is declared by the govern
ment officials who are in a position to
know the exact position of affairs in the
south, that no battle of consequence is
likely to occur. Bueineaa in Rio is
rapidly reviving. This ia especially true
in the case of houses dealing with Amer
ican merchants.
1t is the general opinion here that the
attitude OF the United States during the
trouble here will result in 3 material in
crease in the business done in that
country.
There has, OF course, been much talk
of the flight of Admiral da CANA and
his officers on he Portuguese war ships.
Most of what has been said in this con-
nection, particularly between Brazil and
Portugal, growing out of the asylum
afforded the insurgent officers by the
commanders of the Portuguese war
ships, was simply bluff.
The story to the effect that the police
were arresting many foreigners suspect
ed of being concerned directly or in
directly with the revolt 10 a gross exag-
geration. As matter of fact, the
police have arrested no foreigners for
this reason. Whatever arrests have
been made were simply for violations OF
the law. Arrests are likely to occur at
any time. 1t is pointed out that not a
single foreigner of Importance has been
molested.
The correspondents of the various
American newspapers have left the city
en- route to their homes, or are making
preparations for their departure, which
is evidence that the trouble is over. so
far as Rio is concerned. There may be
some news of importance later from the
south, but the consensus of opinion is
the trouble there is also practically over.
Martial law continues to be enforced
here, but this fact has little or no effect
upon the business of the port. The
government feet has been ordered
south. 1t is thought, however, thes g
orders will be countermanded. The
whereabouts of the insurgent war chip
Aquidaban is not known here.
