Rio Janeiro March 4.-(Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press. DIR. Inp-
cencio Serzede4lo Correa, deputy from
the state of Para and formerly minis
ter, published recently the following ar
ticle. which will show the feeling of the
greater part of the inhabitants of north
ern Brazil in regard to the vast region
of the upper Amazon, at present under
the rule of Colonel Braga and others,
who deposed the president Of the repub-
lie of Acre:
There has never been any revolution
against the Brazilian authorities in
Acre The population of almost the
whole of that region, composed of about
10000 Brazllans. demand guarantees for
their property and the payment of such
duties to the Brazilian government as
they We're always accustomed to pay.
The mixed Brazilian Bolivian commits
sion will meet every facility and aid in
carrying out the survey and making
plants of the headwaters of the Javary.
The Brazilian naval force will be met
with festivals which are already pre-
pared. and not gun will be fired You
need have no fear that Acre will prove
to be another Canudor. The laboring
people have not practiced a single act
of violence. and all of the news of COM
bat and deaths plentifully published
at Rio Janeiro and here also are un-
founded.
Commanders Cardezo, Quiorez. Pa
rente and General Galvas have already
arrived from Acre and confirm what I
say. The Tupy will go up the river in
March and will return loaded with rub

have gone up and come down. The de-
sire is not to pay duties to the Bolivians
at their improvised custom house at
Puerto Alo1lzo All declare this.
,'All the Brazilian merchants and
laborers trust that the Brazilian gov
ernment will not force them to pay. but
they affirm should the government send
orders to the gunboats and. forces under
Baptiste Franco they will not resist
while the vessels are here, but when
the waters recede. obliging the gunboats
to come down, they will again throw off
all Bolivian jurisdiction"
Moyses Santivane, Bolivian consul at
Para has published the following in re-
gard to the Acre question::

zone the idea of expelling the Bolivian
authorities from Puero AlonzO. and to
this end orders We're sent to the judge
at Antimary and to the delegate of po-
lice, the highest state authorities in that
region. and those carried out the in

at first assumed by DR.. Campos Sales
who gave orders to Ranalho to chastist
the delinquents and replace the deposet

measure would mean the abandonment
of what was later to be his right, tn,
