New Yobk, Nov. 9.—A Rio Janeiro cable to the World says: "The sitnation is unchanged. Mar tial law is still prevailing. The police exact passports from every body leav ing the city. ” The banker, Mayring, is the Mephis topheles of the sitnation, and is taking advantage of his chances for punishing bis opponent. Count, De Figneido is obliged to report daily to the police. Editor Rodrigues has been threatened with arrest, and the press in general is forbidden to moke comments on the sitnation. The city is under the con trol of the military, and a military tri bunal is sitting. The people are quiet and apathetic. The whole difficulty has grown out of the jealousy between the president and congress. The cabinet Wanted an inflation of the currency. Congress voted against this, and also passed an impeaching bill over veto of the presi dent. This offended the president, who resolved to dissolve congress, although this proceeding was clearly unconstitu tional, as at that time the budget had not yet been voted. Deodoro Da Fonseca is again dicta tor, governing by virtue of his own de crees. He has promised that new elec tions will soon be held. He insists npon certain changes in the constitu tion. The congress, having found itself un able to publish a manifesto, its mem bers are returning home. The opinionti of the residents of the provinces are un known, all news of this sort being sup pressed.

It has been my desire to neither directly nor indirectly cattse civil war. I have sacrificed my all to spare the country that scourge. On the day I received the news of my deposition I could bave overcome the revolution, bnt preferred exile to bloodshed. ” Continuing, Dom Pedro said he never wished to be 'any thing bnt a pastenr popnli and that if it were true that Commodore Da Gama was becoming dictator, the disappear ance of the Da Fonseca government might imply the restoration of the em pire. "Da Gama was once my devoted friend, and if the people appeal to their old emperor, I should immediately un dertake to return and devote my re maining strength to the happiness of the people.

Vffitlr—No More Et- • uttons W hout Trial City oi Mexico, .fov. 0.—The Diaro de Chihua.. .. that Mr. Sutton, United States consul general in Laredo, has arrived here for the purpose, it is said, of obtaining information concern ing abuses committed npon American citizens in Mexican territory in connec tion with the Clarino-Garza affair.

London, Nov. 9.--A story is printed here which is destined to create a great sensation in many circles of society. It is to the effect that Rosalie Bonaparte has filed a petition asking for a divorce from her husband, Louis Clovering Bo naparte. This action is the outcome of a rather complicated series of matrimo nial events, which had their origin in $ divorce snit instituted against Rosalie by her former httsband. In this last mentioned suit Louis Clovering Bona- >arte was charged by the hnsband with laving been criminally intimate with Rosalie and bis allegations were sup ported by the evidence, and the divorce ■rayed for was granted.

If the Convicts Are Returned to the Mines. Knoxville, Tenn., Nov. 9.-With the information from Nashville that tba convicts are to be returned to the mines cornea the question: "Will there be a battle between the troops or guards and the convicts >" A knowledge of the sitnation and of the past acta war rants the opinion that there will be none if strong forces are sent to pro tect the convicts. A small force would be attacked, and there might be blood- shed in tbst event. A ms opinion is worth quoting, says: "There would have been no trouble If sufficiently large forces and prompt action bad been taken in the beginning of the trouble. The miners never in tended to kill anyone or get killed them selves. Bnt they feel so exultant over their past victories that thsy will go still farther unless very vigorous meas ures are taken. A strong foroe, how ever, -will prevent any possible fight." A man in sympathy with the miners, and who sustained them in their ac tions, says there is certainly to ha a battle if the convicts are retained to the mines. He says they are heavily armed and defy the entire state to main tain the convicts in the Coal Creek dis trict. TWO BUILDINGS COLLAPSE. Several People Soppoeed to De Burled In the Debrle.
