wind storm Of cyclonic nature passed
over the southeastern portion of the

FRANCE VS.. BRAZIL
Relations Very Much Strained
Over the French Guiana
,ar. Boundary.
AN ARMED CONFLICT OCCURS.
Complications Likely to Call
for the Interference of
Uncle Sam.

WASHINGTON, July S.-The strained
relations between France and Brazil
over the French Guiana boundary ap-
pears to become more complicated daily.
The subject is analogous to the British
Venezuelan trouble, in which the
United States has taken hand, and in
the opinion of officials here the French
contest with Brazil is rapidly assuming
an aggravated aspect, which may again
call for the attention Of the United
States, as the Monroe doctrine applies
to one no less than to the other. An
armed conflict has occurred in the dis
puted territory between French SOL
diers and Brazilian. The French gov
ernment has demanded redress, and
the Brazilian congress has passed
resolution couched in sharp language
calling for an explanation from France.
A cable report from Brazil states that
the government regards the subject as
SO menacing that a strict censorship
has been established on all information
regarding it. The armed conflict has
merely
Brought to q Crisis
the long contention over the French
Guiana boundary. Both countries
claim large tract of territory extend
ing north from the Amazon river, and
equal in extent to what is usually
designated on the map as French
Guiana. Each country regards the
occupation of this disputed territory as
unwarranted, and the fault of the re.
cent conflict cannot be placed. French
Guiana is used by France as convict
colony for the deportation of the worst
classes from the French prisons. AS
result the population is strange mix
ture of French, Arabians, Malayans,
Greeks and the riffraff of Paris They
are desperate and lawless class. A
few years ago 6ne Of these adventurers,
a Frenchman named Gros, Attempted
to set up an independent country. He
established capital and called his
government Independent Guiana"
France VIII Hold 1t by Force.
Brazil was originally a Portuguese
colony, and Portugal insisted that il
extended up to the French Guiana
boundary now shown on the maps.
France claimed that her territory ran
down to the Amazon In the treaty at
Utrecht the river Vincent Pinzeon was
fixed as the boundary. Portugal then
claimed that this river was the north
erly stream now marking the boundary,
while France claimed that it was the
stream near the Amazon, so that the
treaty left the dispute as far open as
ever. Since the recent armed conflict
French soldiers have crossed the
boundary and permanently estab-
hshed themselves in the disputed ter
ritory, with the purpose, it is believed.
of holding it by force.

Streams Out of Their Banks.

ELDoRADo SPRINGS, Mo-, July 8.-A
heavy rain amounting to a cloudburst
fell here and nearly all the streams in
this part of the county are out of their
banks. The wheat and oats which
were rsshocked after the wind and
hail storm which visited here last week
are now thought so be soaked clear
through, and unless few dry, warm
days come pretty soon they will mold
and spoil.
