and that two ships have left Santos
with troops to put down the move
ment. Still another declares that the
revolutionary movement is prosper
ing in Santa Catherine and Parana
and intranquillity prevails in Bahia
and Rio Grande do Sui.

scribe the Situation of unrest as slch
that the federal government fears
to withdraw troops from some posts
to aid in the siege against Sac Paulo.
