Petropolis, November 8, 1893. (Received November 8.)

Mr. Thompson reports the killing, from the machine-gun firing directed on the previous day on Rio de Janeiro, of several noncombatants and of a young woman who was standing in front of the consulate of the United States. He transmits the information, which still lacks confirmation, of the recapture of Catharina Island by the Government forces.
