TALKED TOO MUCH.
A PRETTY PLOT NIPPED IN THE
BUD AT RIO JANEIRO.
Proposed Uprising in the City In Aid
of the Rebels, in Which Govern
ment Officers Joined.

copyrighted, 1894. by the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 19.-The following
letter has been received from the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent at Rio de Ja-
metro, under date of February 18th:
A proposed uprising in the city of Rio
in favor of the rebels has come to an in
glorious end. 1t was a pretty plot, and
in it were involved number of promi-
nent citizens and company of National
Guards. Had the conspirators had COM
mon sense they would have succeeded in
carrying out their plans.
The details OF the plot were worked out
on Friday night. The citizens, with arms
under their coats, were to go Monday
morning to the San Sento, Conceico and
San De Hills, garrisoned by the Govern
ment. The officers there were in the
plot, and were to admit them and join
them with as many of their soldiers as
they could persuade to do so. The rebel
fleet at the first shot, or at given signal,
was to hurry in and land its men to help
the plotters. Their total force would be
somewhat over 900 men. 1t would oc-
cupy a strong position, and would prob
ably be rapidly increased by volunteers
from the city.
So far the plot was strictly business.
To the eXuberant Brazilian mind, a plot
so we'll laid must succeed; ergo, it mad
already succeeded; ergo, they might as
well boast about it, and so they did.
Nearly every conspirator went about
telling his friends that the nexJday PeiX-
oto was to be humbied and the revolu-
ton was to be successful. The British,
who are very intimate with the rebels,
were, of course, notified, and the two
principal banks went so far as to post
notices informing their clerks that they
should not come TO business on Monday,
as there was going to be heavy firing.
In less than an hour everyone in the COM
mercial quarter knew that something
was going to happen on Sunday and
Monday.
Even then the plot came near succeed
ing through the influence of another
opera Douffe idea. For although the
Government was fully aware of the con-
spiracy. nothing was Immediately done
TO thwart it. All day Sunday nothing
was said or done to obstruct the success
OF the uprising. 1t was only on Saturday
evening, when the rebel fleet anchored
close to the city, that any action was
taken. The suspended regiments were
