Bau LOOK to the Dispute Between
Italy and Brazil.
The recent political conflict between
Italians and Brazllians in San Paolo,
Brazil, as a result of which there are
rumOrs that the Italian legation to Brazil
will be withdrawn, may have some con-
nection, it is believed, with the claims
which the Italian Government has ag ainst
Brazil for damages inflicted on its SUBJ
jects during the late civil war in that
country. There were a large number of
these claims and an arrangement
was arrived at by which it was
thought they would be adjusted. A
protocol was signed containing clause
providing that claims concerning which
the two governments could not reach an
amicable settlement should be referred 10
the President of the United States for
arbitration. President Cleveland had al
ready given his consent to act as arbitra-
Tor. Very recently the protocol was sub
mitted to the Brazilian Congress for its
ratification, but that body refused to agree
to it. and it may be that the Italian Gov
ernment has taken umbrage at its action,
following close on the political conflicts,
and will withdraw its legation.
The Italian Government has forbidden
all immigration to Brazil in consequence
Of the riots there, and the cruiser Umbria
has been ordered to Rio de Janeiro.

The admiral notified Kahlid that unless
he surrendered the fleet would open fire
