Brazil’s Republic in the Hands of » Military Dictator. The revolutionary disorders in Brazi! have culminated in President Deodora ja Fonseca proclaiming himself dictato: j and placing the country under martia law. In President da Fonseca’s manifesto t the people explaining the causes of the change in government and the dissolu tion of congress, he charges that the ac tions of congress were due to persona animosity to him and not to a desire for the welfare of the people. On the me¢ting of the constituent as sembly the adversaries of the govern ment, he charges, attempted to defeat the aims of the administration by elect ing the officers of the congress among | themselves. His administration, he says, has beer constantly embarrassed, and many of its functions have been suspended by reactionary projects of the opposition which have tended to create a public panic, The impeachment law, he claims, wa: jirected directly against the president. In conclusion the manifesto says tha! the president assumes full responsibility for the dissolution of congress, and an aounces that he is determined to sup press all anarchy and disorder at what aver cost. He guarantees free elections, a consti tutional government, with peace anc zoodorder. He will respect all pecun iary engagements, all acquired rights, al legal acts, and all contracts. The courts will continue to sit as usual and the course of justice will be uninier rupted. There will be no alteration 0: existing laws, except in cases where they are op) to the common good and t the safety of the government. The new congress will be convened as soon as the | arrangements can properly be made.
