EX-PRESIDENT PEIXOTO’S DEATH

Will Allay the to Moraei*" Government. Confirmation of the report of the death of ex-President Peixoto, of Brazil, has reached Rio Janeiro. The ex-President

expected to leave his home for Rio Janeiro when he was attacked with the fatal disease, a combination of Berirßerl fever and abscess of the liver. He was comatose until his death. Physicians were at once summoned from Rio Janeiro to t-mbalm the

body. When it arrived at Rio Janeiro, however, it was in bad condition. There was great excitement in Rio Janeiro, and groups of the friends of Peixoto and the late Admiral Saldanha Da Gama gathered in force in the streets, showing a decidedly angry spirit. These groups were finally dispersed by the police. The clubs and theaters were -dosed and all flags were placed at half-mast. One of the lending papers in Rio Janeiro deeply laments the death of Peixoto. Others content themselves with notices of the death, adding that it “vill certainly end the spirit of opposition to President Moraes, as there is now no leader in the party of which Peixoto was the head.
