KOKOMO, Ind, Feb. 1.-THE understand

IN FAVOR OF BRAZIL
ARBITER CLEVELAND DECIDES A
LONG-STANDING DISPUTE.
He Finds that the Missfones Terri
tory, Claimed by Argentina, be-
longs to Her Sister Republic.

WASHINGTON Feb. 6.-The President to-
day announced, through the Secretary of
State, his decision as arbitrator between
Brazil and Argentine in the boundary dis
pute between the two countries over the
Missiones territory. AT 3 o'clock this after
noon Baron Rio Branca, the special Bra
lillian envoy, with the members of the COM
mission, and Senior Seballos, the Argentine
minister, who was clothed with special
functions as the representative of his gov
ernment's claims, appeared at the State De-
partment and received from the hands of
Secretary Gresham a copy of the Presi-
dents decision, which was favorable to Bra
I'll. The document was quite long, and much
of 1t was given up to a recital of the pro-
visions Of the treaty of Sept. Z, 1889, by
which the two countries agreed to submit
the questions at issue to the arbitration of
the President of the United States, and
stated at length the exact matters to be
terminated by the arbitrator. The substance
of the Presidents decision is contained in
the following paragraph:
That the boundary line between the Ar
gentine Republic and the United States of
Brazil in that part submitted to me for ar
bitration and decision is constituted and
shall be established by and upon the rivers
Pepira (also called Pepiri-Guazu) and San
Antonio, to wit: The rivers which Brazil
has designated in the argument and docu-
IilcHlS SuUillltlcu III Xix dS CONSTITUTING the
boundary, and hereinbefore denominated the
Westerly system"
The territory involved covers an area of
$1,000 square miles, and has a population of
about seven thousand inhabitants. In early
colonial times it was the subject of frequent
controversy between the crowns of Portugal
and Spain, and many efforts have been
made IN more recent times to arrange the
dispute between Brazil and Argentine by
treaty, but all without success up to this
time.
The position of the disputed territory is of
no little interest, not only from a political
but from a military standpoint. Its loss. to
Brazil would almost have cut off the rich
and populous Brazilian state of Rio Grande
do Sui from the remainder of the republic,
leaving only a narrow tongue of land of
something less than fifty leagues in width
as a means of connection. Thus the terri
tory of Missiones. if held by a foreign
power. would be a continual menace to the
peace and progress of Rio Grande do Sui, as
well as to the States to the north, and would
require numberless frontier garrisons and
Notifications as a precautionary measure.
Inasmuch as Missiones has always been In
the possession of Brazil, the willingness of
the latter to submit the matter to arbitra-
ton has caused considerable favorable COM
ment, and her desire to avoid complications
with a neighboring state by peaceful means
has afforded those who advocated arbitra-
ton in the Panamerican congress much
qualification.
