BUENOS AYRES, Argentine, March
6.— Serious rioting is in progress in
the city of Rio de Janeiro and a re
volt has started against the present
government which may spread to such
an extent as to endanger the exist
ence of the republic.
All press messages are being cen
sored by the government and the true
I conditions cannot be told at this time,
but enough has leaked out from gov
ernment employees to indicate the
giavity of the situation, and several
of the foreign ambassadors here have
wired to their governments to dis
patch war vessels to the city to pro
tect the foreign inhabitants.
The Germans have a small fleet of
warships in South American waters at
this time and it is rumored that they
will take advantage of the Mexican
trouble to secure a slice of Brazil,
which is very largely settled by Ger
mans.
