MODS AT RIO.
Police Claim to Have
Been Powerless.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov. Last
night large mob broke into and
looted the offices of the Republican.
Although the plan was generally
known, the police were powerless TO
prevent the attack. The Republican
had made itself particularly obnoX-
ious by it's criticisms upon the govern
ment policy in connection with the re-
cent campaign against the fanatics
and by it's attacks upon President Mo-
raes and Gen. Marcado Bittencourt,
the minister of war, who was fatally
stabbed during the disturbance that
followed the attempt upon the presl-
dents life last Friday afternoon.
WASHINGTON, Nov. THE Bra
lillian legation today received a cable
gram from the minister Of foreign re
lations at Rio de Janeiro, announcing
the funeral of Marshal Bittencourt,
who was fatally wounded on Friday
while protecting President Moraes
from assassination. The dispatch read:
1.-THE funeral of Marshal Bittencourt,
minister of war, took place yesterday.
The president of the republic followed
the remains to the cemetery and was
enthusiastically acclaimed by the peo-
pie of all classes on the passage of the
funeral, which congregated more than
10000 people.
