OPPOSED TO bolivian RULE.
RESIDENTS OF THE NEW REPUBLIC OF
ACRE DEMAND INDEPENDENCE

ACRE DEMAND INDEPENDENCE
Rio Janeiro. March 4-The chiefs of the revo-
lutionary Government at Acre have requested
the withdrawal cf all the Brazilian forces naval
and military. affirming that free B-aziIians will
never become Bolivian. The request protest,
ends thus: Independence or death. Long live
the Free State Of Acre" It is signed by twelve
chiefs
There is serious danger of complications be-
tween the State Government at Amazonas and
the General Government at Rio Janero owing
u the fact that the people OF the Amazon VAL
ley as well as the State Government, are in
favor of aiding the Brazilians Of Acre against
the Bolivian Government and the insignificant
Bolivian population of Acre.
The people Of the State of Para bitterly
opposed TO the intervention of the Central Gov
ernment in favor of the Bolivian authorities in
Acre. and the Deputies of Para and Amazonas,
