NEW YORK, Nov. S.-The Herald's
correspondent in Rio Janeiro tele-
graphs:
Rio Janeiro is now under martial law,
svery soldier having been ordered to
arms, as it is feared that another revo-
lutiou is at hand. The attempt to kill
the president and the killing of the
minister of war, it is believed, were the
acts of monarchical sympathizers. An.
other theory is that they were the re-
suits of the intense feeling aroused by
the proposed arbitration treaty with
France.
