AID FOR BRAZILIAN REBELS.
BOLIVIA SEEKING REVENGE FOR
An OLD INJURY.

Because Brazil Interfered I'm the Acre In
surrectiOn, Filibusters Are Now Per.
mitted TO Pass From Bolivia Into the
Revolted Province OF Matte Crosse.
The newspapers Of la Paz, Bolivia.
are publishing full accounts OF the insur-
rection in the Brazilian province of Matte
Crosse. From these accounts 1t appears
that Brazil has all she can do to maintain
her authority in the disturbed province.
There are six battalions Of Brazilian
troops operating in Matte Crosse. They
are assisted by three war vessels, whose
movements are not so free as desired.
Altogether the Brazilian Government is
said to be spending about 81 ,OO0, 600 a month
in the suppression Of the revolt, but no
results OF a satisfactory character have
been obtained so far.
Great are the reioicings OF Bolivians
over the troubles Of the Brazilians. II Ia
generally understood that the Bolivians.
furthermore, are giving material aid TO the
insurgents. For many weeks the Boliv-
ian Government has relaxed its vigilance
over the frontiers of the eastern depart
ments to the great advantage Of the revo-
lutionists.
Into Matte Crosse all who have wish
TO do so nave been descending from the
mountains Of Bolivia since the revolt started.
While Bolivian flibusters and traders
have been profiting by this state OF affairs
Brazilian troops have, with difficulty.
been ascending the valleys and rivers to
reach the scene OF revolt.
One reason why Brazil has not made q
complaint concering this state OF affairs
is that Col. Monies is directing Bolivian

probably make a curt reply to any COM
plant. He is especially anxious to retaliats
upon Brazil for her course during the in
surrection in the Bolivian State of Acre.
III At the time of the outbreak of the
troubles in Acre, Col. Monies was Minister
Of War. He knew the facts in the case.
He was aware that the rebellion was TO-
mented and supported by Brazilian and Por-
tuguese merchants dealing in Bolivia, par
ticularly those engaged in the rubber in
dustry. Owing to the efforts OF Bolivia
to prevent smuggling. the merchants To-
mented the revolt.
In order to prevent the Brazilians from
giving aid to the Acre insurgents President
Pardo, Of Bolivia. last January proclaimed
a blockade Of Puerto Alonzo. The block
ade was made effective by Col. Montos.
As Puerto Alonzo controlled the water
highway of western Brazil the Brazilians
Immediately complained that their rights

TO aid the rebels Of Acre. since the Boliv-
ian authorities did not prevent any Brazilian
vessel with proper papers from. passing
Puerto Alonzo. Brazil urged that the block
AIDE be- suspended. Col. Monies replied
that the suspension OF the blockade would
render his plan OF campaign Intellectual.
The Brazil decided TO intervene IN Acre.
IL Vas asserted that IL would be OF meal
culable benefit TO Bolivia and the peaceful
people Of Acre To raise the blockade. Fur
thermore. the Brazilian Cabinet informed
Bolivia that she was Incompetent TO deal
with the insurrection ia Acre. For these
reasons Brazil sent the cruiser 1tT1dates
up TO raise the blockade Of Puerto Alonzo.
Col. Monies acted promptly With
forces, commanded by himself and Vice
President lelasco, he started for Puerto
Alonzo. On the way lac met the insurgents
