PEIxOTO DEAD.
| The Man Who Was Onoe President of
Brazil.

Tho Man Who Was Once President Of
Brazil.
Rio JANE1Ro, July LEX President
Peixoto is dead. Marshal Florino Peix-
oto was the son of Lieutenant Colonel
Hancel Vierra de Aranjo Peixoto. He
was born April 80, 1880, in the state of
Alagoas. He was chiefly distinguished
for the suppression Of the revolution
which broke out in Brazil in the sum-
mer of 1893. Upon the return Of Ad-
mirals de Mello and da Cana from the
naval review at New York, 1898, the
naval forces broke away from the rule
of Peixoto, and, indirectlyuniting with
the insurgents in the province of Rio
Grande do Sui, succeeded in organic
ing a rebellion formidable in it's as
poets. After a number of sharp en-.
counters in the harbor of Rio de
Janeiro, President Peixoto and his as
sociates in Office and in the army prac.
tically succeeded in stamping out the
revolt, though desultory fighting has
been kept up on both sides ever since.
The revolutionists appear to have been
nearly if not quite suppressed by the
defeat and the resultant suicide of Da
Cana only five days ago.
