Porto Allegro, Rio Grande DO Sui
Brazil. Oct. l7.-FD-The capture of
the important town of Itarare. rail-
head leading toward the city Of Sac
Paulo, was claimed today by General
Miguel Costa. generalissimo of the
Brazilian revolutionary forces.
General Costa. in a message to
Brazilians. said efforts were being
made to impress upon the central
government the magnitude of the in
surrection In order to prevent furth-
er bloodshed.
In a half-dozer encounters, he as
serted, federal forces had shown
themselves demoralized and without
the will to fight, surrendering or flee
ing at the outset.
He predicted that within a few days
the insurgent forces would pass
through the state of Sac Paulo in
their march northward toward Rio
de Janeiro itself.
General Costa called upon the fed
eral government to resign and at the
same time added a warning that, If
the government should insist upon
opposing the revolution. the insur-
gents would not be responsible for
the fate of those to blame for the
useless shedding of blood.
A Montevideo dispatch said revolu-
tionary quarters claimed also scat
tering successes for their troops.
There was little other information,
however. from the Parana-Sao Paulo
frontier, where, it appears, a series of
engagements are proceeding which
may determine the fate Of the rich
state OF Sac Paulo.
An official revolutionary communi-
que said the entire eleventh regiment
OF infantry. which has been operat-
ing in the state Of Minas Geraes, had
surrendered Internationally to rebel
troops.
Federal attempts to land troops
along the Santa Catharina border,
both to relieve pressure on the Port
OF Florianopolis where there Il q
small federal garrison. and to form a
nucleus Of an army to operate in the
rear Of the rebels defending the
Parana Sac Paulo frontier, are con-
tinuing, but have proved fruitless.
Again Prevent Landing
Colonel Luis Gomez, with a greatly
contingent, repulsed a
force which the destroyer Parana
sent ashore at Imbituba, a small
port south Of Florianopolis. It is the
second time within the past few days
that an attempt has been made to
land troops at this port.
Sixty soldiers formerly attached to
federal garrisons in the state Of
Santa Catharina, and their COM
handing officer. Captain Mario Car
valho. have surrendered to revolu-
tionary forces and have been incor-
porated into the revolutionary army.
They surrendered two machine guns
and other supplies.
An official communique today said
forces also had captured
the important interior city Of Sac
Joao Dejel-Rey, the 10th federal in
fantry stationed there surrenderlng

ique said northern insurgent forces
under Capt. Juarez Tavora mad cap
tured Aracaju, capital Of the state OF
Sergipe.
Meet Little Opposition
Captain Juarez and an army con-
thousands Of unpaid volun-
teers effected capitulation Of Its
principal city almost without contest.
In many cases the populace met
the army with food, cigarettes and
