Another South American War Cloud
~; 7r;,,,.e Cgo,

The South American State OF Uruguay is
in fair way TO be as compile 'ely wiped out
of existence as a nation as Peru has been
She Is in trouble with Brazil, Italy, Spain
and France, and the former threatens to in-
wade her country and annihilate her unless
amends for certain Outrages upon Brazilian
citizens are made, aud which, up to recent
date, Uruguay had refused to make.
Italy's grievances against Uruguay grows
out Of the arrest and torture of Two Italians
at Montevideo. A murder and robbery had
been commit ed, end the two Italians were
suspected Of being the perpetrators. They
we're arrested, and denYing having CON-
miited the deed were subjected to the most
awful torture to induce them to confess a
crime Of which they were innocent. 1t was
afterward ascertsiued thai the real criminal
was IN ex-policeman OF MOntevideo, and
the Italian Minister demanded the punish
ment of the torturers and the responsible
officials, and an indemnity of $50, 600 to the
MANNED aud crippled victims. To this de-
mand Uruguay paid no attention. whereupon
the Italian Minister broke off diplomatic re-
ations.
Tie French Government demands salts
faction for the murder of q French sailor by
the police OF MOnteviieo aud Spain has an
unsettled claim against Uruguay for repaIa
ZION for the torture and murder of Spaniard
But the difficulty which most seriously
threatens the peace OF Uruguay Is that with
Brszil This grows out OF the impressment
in the Urugu'yan army Of forty Brazilian sub
ieets, for outrages on others, and for cross
Ing the Brszlian frontier in pursuit of
fugitive. Brszll demanded an apology for
these outrages, which Uruguay refused to
make. She preferred rather to fight, aud at
once began raising an army to protect her
frontier. and set about fOrtifving Monte
video. AT last reports Brazil was concen-
tratiug an army on the frontier to enforce
her demands. Should war result, the COM
plete destruction of Uruguay will be &
question only OF month.
