and they hurriedly departed for the :

received here from Florianapolle, on
the coast of Sodth Ilrazll, say. that a
large number of German consafiretore
(rave been arrested renewing( se diss
°every of a plot to overthrow the
local authorities. All the Germans
were armed. They had beenoneeting
at various times under the pretext
that they were members of a German
aociety. •
Bra•zillan papers received her to-
day are filled with accounts of the
movements of a German corsair off
the Brazilian coast a low week e ago.
The newspapers assert that tho mys-
• tenons vessel was identified as a Ger-
man, and that it unloaded an im-
mense cargo of heavy cities at Cer-
quire and Armacao. Several dap;
later tho steamship returned to Ar-
inacao with additional cargo, which
the neespaper accounts say' it is be-
lieved she received from a larger ship
out of sight of land. From Armacao
the vessel proceeded to Colour°,
where another portion ot the cargo
was unloaded.
These ports are not guarded, and it
. ass,erted that the cargoes landed
were mysteriously smuggled away.
Later' the Gorman geesel was sighted
close to shore at San Pedro De Al -
dere, where two persons aro now un-
der arrest as a result of their rola-
tams With the crew. They are charged
with being spies.
The newspapers Say the steamer
