The Consul General at São Paulo (Cameron) to the Secretary of State
[Received 1 p.m.]
City almost free from rioting yesterday. From Campinas front it is reported that Paulista volunteers are being disarmed by other Paulista troops in cooperation with Dictatorial Army and that the general withdrawal of São Paulo forces is taking place on the east front; no reliable reports from the south front. Newspapers print almost no news. São Paulo apparently being demobilized by Klinger notwithstanding his assertions that armistice only has been arranged. Volunteer organizations and General Lopes have made declarations in disaccord with Klinger’s measures and some disorders probable should popular suspicions of unconditional surrender be confirmed.
Repeated to Embassy at Rio de Janeiro.
