RIO DE JANEIRO BraziD, July IL
A telegram from Buenos Ayres says
that General Julio Roca, President OF
the Argentine Republic, will embark on
July Both for Rio de Janeiro; that he
will stop for five days at Montevideo,
where he will have a grand reception,
and that he will then come to this
place, escorted by a division of the Ar
eentine naval fleet, consisting OF the
irOnclad cruiser BuenoS AyreS and the
torpedo gunboat Patfia.
Two divisions of the Brazilian fleet,
composed Of the turret ship "A DE Ma1o
formerly the Aquidaban), the cruiser
Quinze de Novembro formerly the Re-
publica), and whatever other vessels
may be available, will steam out of
Brazilian waters to meet General Roca
and escort the Argentine fleet into the
port of Rio de Janeiro.
Three divisions of the Brazilian army
are being organized for grand review
to be held in General Roca's honor. The
streets are being cleaned and repaired
and they will be ornamented for the
military display. Banquets will be given
by the President, the Municipal Gov
eminent and the Chamber of Com
merce.
DR.. Enos de SouZa, the manager Of
the mint, is preparing medals to be
distributed on the arrival of General
Roca. They are of gold, silver, and
bronze, similar to those distributed to
the white squadron of Admiral Walker.
The Derby Club will give a grand
prize at the races in honor of General
Roca early in August. The grand prize
will be 10000 milreis, distance one mile
and, a quarter, for three-year-old
horses from any scourAry.
The visiting President will be lodged
in the rose-colored palace of the Presi-
dent on Cattele street andsthe Brazilian
Government has rented the commodi-
GUS palace on Larangeiras street, be-
longing to the insurance company Eu-
cadora, for the use of the Presidential
party.
It is claimed that the Governments
of Brazil, Chile, Argentine and possibly
Uruguay, Paraguay and BOLIVIA intend
to form an alliance, offensive and de-
fensive, which, it is asserted, will en-
able them to dispense with their I'M
necessary ornaments.
The majority Of the Argentine jour-
nails, the "Prenza" excepted. favor the
policy of disarming the South American
republics and of re-esta blishing, in a
peaceful way, the ancient union of the
river Plata, which is supposed to be the
intention of the two Presidents, Cam
pos Sales and Roca. The "Prenza"
strongly opposes the disarmament pro-
ject.
Colonel Charles Page Bryan, United
States Minister to Brazil, arrived at
Joazeira, State of Bahia, July I'd, with

enthusiastically received at Alasgoin-
has, Serrinha, Villa-Nova and other
wayside stations. They inaugurated
July Sd the new line of steamers to ply
on the river San Francisco, which will
open a great part of the interior of
Brazil. Colonel Bryan returned to Rio
de Janeiro July 18th. He was enthu-
siastic over the reception given him by
the people of Bahia. At times it ap-
peared to be almost an ovation.
AT Bahia July 9th a. banquet was
given the Colonel by DR.. Luis Wanna,
the Governor of the State of Bahia.
AT p. m. seventy members of the
best society of that ancient Capital of
the old monarchical times sat down to
