RIO DE JANEIRO, Jan. IS. Timely
discovery of a plot to overthrow the
government led today to frustrating it
and the arrest of more than 2uo petiy
army officers.
Auioonues announced mat the revo
lution had been well planned but had
been nipped in the bud by secret serv
ice men. Tho army men concerned
therein planned to seize the arsenals
and forts guarding the bay, und ot!n;r
strategical points and that to force
the retirement of President Iiraz.
The leaders were arrested on the
very day on which they expected to
start their revolution. Mounted pa
trols and armed marines broke up two
meetings of soldiers and took into cus
tody all the revolutionists. They were
thrown into prison on an island, Rio de
Janeiro Pay; some of them confessed
that wealthy men had financed their
machinations. Ostensibly It was a
sergeants rebellion" over the govern
ment s failure to raise their pay.
