The American Minister Reports 4
Recent Outbreak.

DiStrri7-ce~ Caused by Raising
srseet Car Fnres-Many Clashes
with the Police and Attacks On
Property OF Offending Company.
Serious rioting. lasting for eve DAYS.
and resulting in the killing Of Eve per
sons and the wounding Of upward Of e5l
others. began in Rio de Jaueiro. Brazil.
on June Is. according 20 report recelv-
ed today al the State Department from
Charles Page Bryan. the United States
Minister.
The disturbances were not Of a political
character, and no traces Of a revolution-
airy attempt against the Government
could be discovered in them The riotiaE
began at night on Saturday. and quiet
was not restored until the following
Wednesday.
Il began because the sac Christavos
Street Railroad Company. under the
terms Of a recent contract with the Gov
.rument, raised its fares. This railroad
trayerses the commercial and the poor
est residential portions Of the city Of RIO
de Jsneiro. and the increase Of fares
rcet with determined and forcibie resist
ance.
Attacks were made on the cars on the
night Of June IS. and some OF them were
burned A large body Of police succeeded
in dispensing the crowd Of rioters, but on
Sunday the disturbances were renewed,
and on Monday six cars were burned in
th= Largo de Sac Francisco. which was
finally cleared by the police only after
several persons had been wounded The
following day barriCades were built IN the
Quividor and other important business
streets in the vicinity Of the Largo de
Sac Francisco, which is = large square in
the centre Of the city. and the thorough
fares were kept cleared only By repeated
charges Of both cavalry and infantry
On Wednesday much OF the same sort Of
occurrences took place. but at night quiet
was restored by the announcement made
by the company that il would return TO
the old schedule Of fares
In spite Of all the trouble no attempt
was made against the Government Pop
ular indignation against the company lin
tied itself 10 sporadic attacks on the
compdny's property and seemed not 20
concern itself with the Governments con
nection with the matter.
The police aroused almost universal
protest 10y their rseklessuess and sever
ity. but the only demonstrations against
them were entirely unOrganized and al
most PueriIe. They We're apparently di-
rected. TOO. Mr. Bryan says, against the
police as individuals rather than c0nsti-
tuted Government authorities. and the
only legal questions as Yet growing out
Of the disturbances have been suits in
stitUted against individual police officers
and were Tor undue violence
The fact that order was completely re-
established Immediately upon the rein
statement Of the old fare schedule is
sufficient proof, Ar. Bryan says. thai
the disturbances had no political signih-
canoe whatever.
