[Telegram.]

Legation of the United States,
Rio de Janeiro, March 10, 1894. (Received March 10.)

Mr. Thompson communicates a report that 800 men with their general Salquado have deserted in Parana from the rebel army, and that insurgents are landing at Abatuba. He reports that the fleet of the Government, which has arrived very near the bay, may be expected to enter at any moment. He believes that there is no doubt that the leaders of the revolution in the south are not in accord with Da Gama.
