A correspondent in Rio Janeiro telegraphs Buenos Ayres that advices to the English Legation there declare that England claims the Island of Trinidad as her own. One cargo of coal, it is reported, has been landed on the island already.ln view of this it was decided by Brazil’s Cabinet to formally protest and a message to that effect was at once sent to Brazil’s Minister in London. Fiery articles have appeared in the Brazilian newspapers denouncing England for her appropriation of territory belonging to Brazil, as that country affirms. The correspondent says that these articles ask particularly where the Monroe doctrine applies now. They desire to see it used as a political medium in settling this question.
