custom, only three toasts were drunk.
The first was given by Governor vi
anna, who proposed the health of Col
onel Bryan, sthe worthy representative
of great, free and friendly nation"
as a signal of homage to the delegate
Of the most tllustrious President Nc
Kinley." The second toast was pro-
posed by the President of the CONNER
cial Association, Aristides Novis. in the
name of the conservative classes, to
DR.. Wanna. But the toast of honor
fell to Colonel Bryan, Mhossaid that he
was glad to have become personally ac-
quainted with Bahia, its people and its
present government, and proposed
toast to this great country, which from
his early years he had learned to re-
spect and to 1ove-the health of its
President, DR.. Campos Sales. worthy
chief of a patriotic people sure of fu-
ture glory. happiness and prosperity.
The "Impresna," the organ of Ruy
Barbosa, formerly First Vice President
of the republic and now Senator from
Bahia, however, never loses an occa-
sion to pitch into the Yankees" In a
recent article of five editorial columns
the "ImpreSna" proved conclusiveiy
that the United States, sin repudiating
it's debts and obligations ever since
1889, has been below Turkey, Egypt
and Portugal" Ruy Barbosa, Seabra
and other revolutionary leaders will
never forgive the people or Government
of the United States for the coming of
Admiral Benham to Rio Janeiro in
1894.
The newspapers favorable to English.
French and Portuguese interference, in
opposition to the legal government OF
Floriano, the organs of Buy Barbosa,
Seabra and Patrocino. have been filling
their columns with APPARENTLY concoct-
ed kilograms and indignant editorials
against the daring Yankees who had.
they affirmed, concluded arrangements
with Bolivia highly inimical to Brazil.
They even published the alleged text OF
the treaties said to have been signed
by Paravicini and Colonel Bryan by
which the United States guaranteed
arms, ammunition and. in certain cir
cumstances, soldiers to open the ANA
Zon to American commerce. Colonel
Bryan, the Bolivian Charge d'Affaires;
Jayne Fraire and the Consuls denied
all knowledge of such proceedings, and
even Ruy Barbosa in his impress
ma continued to wage a war of big
sounding words against the United
States and all that is American.
The "Pais,'' on July s, published tele"
grams from Washington, denying the
statements of the "Impresna" and
"Cidodode Rio that the American
Minister at Sucre was sustaining the
interests of Bolivia against Brazil in
the question of limits. Another dispatch
denied that the United States gunboat
Wilmington had carried arms and
ammunition to the rebels at Iquitos"
while on her trip up the Amazon.
Still another dispatch says that Colo
mel Hay has declared that the friend
ship between Brazil and the United
States to-day is more solid than ever,
and is the best proof of the falSity OF
such reports.
Eugene Seeger, Consul General of the
United States here. left for the United
States July 9Th via Europe. He will
visit London, Paris and Berlin.
Mr.. Seeger, who has made an ex-
haustive study of Brazil and her enOr-
nous resources. is commissioned by
different municipal and other chambers
to represent their interests at the Phil
adelphia exhibition.
The journal Docommercio" expects
that Mr.. Seeger's visit will be the
means of showing American capitalists,
engineers and Industrial concerns that
there is vast field for their exploring
with highly profitable results to all
parties and is sure that. Mr.. Seeger's
presence at the great Philadelphia COM
mercial congress in September and Oc-
tober will be the means of calling the
attention of our merchants to those
great and prosperous states. The jour-
na1'' calls attention to the fact that
while the people of the United States
buy three-fourths of the coffee of Bra
zil, nine-tenths of the rubber and a
part of the sugar, at a cost of $50, OO0,
600 annually, the BraZilianS buy less
than $40 ,000,0 600 from the United States
and there are no American steamship
lines, banks or facilities of whatever
nature for the transaction of such
enormous trade All is in the hands
of English firms.
News received from Manos says the
