The government entertains no fear Of
much further trouble In the south. The
insurgent sympathixers claim that the
placing of Admiral Msllo at the head of
the provisional government will attract
persons to the rebel standard. but the gov
eminent here believes the insurgent forces
will gradually melt away until nothing re-
mains. Ii Is reported here that the rebels
are already retreating from Rio Grande do
Sui. and IL 10 thought by the time the gov
eminent endorsements arrive there

rate, II IL declared by government officials
who are in position TO know the exact
condition Of affairs in the south that no
battle Of consequences is likely 70 occur.
Business in Rio IL rapidly reviving. II
Is the general opinion here that the atti-
tude of the United States during the
trouble will result in material increase in
the business done with that country.
There has, OF course, been much talk of
the fight of Admiral CANA and his off,
GERS on the Portuguese warships. Most Of
what has bsen said in this connection Of
war between Brazil and Portugal, growing
out of the asylum afforded the insurgent
officers by the commanders of the Portu-
guess warships. was simply bluff

were arresting many foreigners suspected

with the revolt 10 . gross sxaggeratlon.
As matter Of fact the police have ar
rested no foreigners for this reason. What
ever arrests have been made were simply
for violations Of the law. Arrests are
likely to occur at any time. 1t 10 pointed
out that not . single foreigner of i'm
portance has bsen molested. The CORE
spondents of the various American news
papers have left the city en- route to their
homes. or are making preparations
for their departure, which ID evidence that
the trouble IL over so far ~ Rio is con-
cerned. There may be some news OF i'm
portance later in the south, but. the con-
sensus Of opinion 10 that the trouble there
il practically over. Martial Law continues
to be enforced here, but this fact has little
or no effect upon tho business of the port.

orders will be countermAnced. The where

to the Portuguese warship Albu-

continued on her way - Buenos

of the warship refused to talk, but told the
consul he was going to Buenos Ayres to
