ITALY AND BRAZIL.
Washington, Nov. 26-Nothing Is known
officially here of the reported trouble be-
tween Italy and Brazil, which Is said to
have reached phase so acute that Italy
has threatened to SEM a fleet of war yes
sells to Brazil to enforce her demands But
| it Is known from an unofficial source that
| the two governments have been at odds Tor
nearly year, owing to the demand MADE Dy
| the Italian government for indemnity Tor the
maltreatment of a number OF ltalian SUP
| jects and the destruction of their properly
| In the riots in Rio. As nearly as can be
gathered, Brazil has admitted some degree
| of accountability and the question at Issue
| is one of amount of indemnity rather than
| of principle This is not the first time In the
| course of the negotiations that Italy Is re-
norted to have threatened a naval demon
stration, and it Is assumed that the threat
| is renewed at this time owing to a Deller
that Rrazil is in disturbed condition as
result of the change in the presidency, anu
that the new government can tne ln n',I,e
easily be Influenced to any step TO presss hn,
the country from outward attack; buI iloli
the last reports the new brazilian govern,
ment is in much better position 10 resist any
unjust demand than has been generally sup
pOsed. The Brazilian minister mere, oenor
Mendoza has Just received telegram from
fine minister Of foreign affairs at klO' staIc
| ing that the new government mus llseii
strong in the support 1t is receiving from az
states of the government ana is entlrey
able to repress any attempt against the re-
public.
