main in tho country for another month at
least, and in fact the house will be kept in
readiness for them at any time during tho
winter. Mrs. Cleveland is just as devoted
, to the quiet of the country as the presi

THE BRAZILIAN WAR.
Latest News Indicate that the Rebel!
Still Command the Situation.
NEW YORK, Oct. 20 —A press des
patch from Montevideo says that
Frederick Gullherme de Lerena has
been proclaimed provisional president oi
Brazil by Admiral Mello, in command of
the insurgent fleet.
Lorena is the captain of one of the rebel
warships, and the provisional government
of which he is now proclaimed president
was established some days ago at Desterro,
which is the capital city of the state of
Santa Catharina.
The despatch also del ares that the
bombardment of Rio has been suspended.
There are two reasons current in Rio
Janeiro for this action, or rather inaction,
on the part of Admiral Mello.
One is that he Is awaiting the arrival
of the ship Cludad de Porto, which set out
from this port recently, loaded with allies
and provisions,but especially ammunition,
for Mello. It is surmised that the rebel
gunners have about run out of gunpowder
and projeotiles.
Tbe other reason current for the sus
pension of the bombardment Is that the
foreign warships in the harbor have Inter
fered to prevent the further shelling of
the defenseless buildings of the capital.
The rebel war ship Republics, which ap
peared outside the hArbor of Montevideo
Sunday and was quarantined, signalled
the TlrAdentes yesterday to come outside
and fight. The Tlradentes did not deign
to reply, but oontinued to lie quietly under
the friendly aegis of Uruguay.
The Uruguayan officials refused pratique
to the Republics and would not even allow
her to communicate with the shore, so
that, after being supplied with water and
coal, she sailed north agAln, flagging the
Tiradentes an invitation to join the rebels,
and taunting the crew with being cowards
for seeking protection from a foreign
power.
Admiral Mello issued another proclama
tion yesterday exhorting his comrades to
continue their efforts, and assuring them
of the ultimate downfall of "the tyrant
Peixoto," whom he accuses of treachery
and cowardioe.
He declares that the president endeav
ored to assassinate him by means of an
album loaded with dynamite, which was
sent to Mello with the oonnlvance of
Peixoto.
