OFFICIALS PLACARDING
THE TOWN..
RUM0RS OF SERIOUS. NATURE

Reported That BoIivians Completely
Defeated at Acre, and That Two
Thousand Peruvians Are on the
Frontlsr-Intsnse Excitement Is
Caused by Unexpeetedness of An.
nouncement.
New York, Nov. 12.-Citizens of this
city were astonished Saturday even
ing, says a Herald dispatch from La
Paz, Bolivia, via Tacna, Chilli, when
government officials posted throughout
the town placards which decla,4I .le
whole republic of Bolivia in state of
siege owing to the country being
threatened, /
The decree caused 1zsense excite
ment because of the unexpectedness
of the announcement and ignorance
Of the reason for the government
adopting such step. :!
Two rumors were heard, One was
that the Bolivians had been completely
defeated in Acre. The other report
was that 1000 Peruvianns We're OH Tie
frontier, near the Madre de pios river.
"The exact Seriousness Of the news
from Acre is unknown" says 81 Com
ercio, in commenting on the situation,
"but the government must be in pos
session of grave news to take such
measures and to declare a state of
siege which appears unnecessary as
the entire country, without distinc-
tion of party or class, will stand by the
government.
Some persons attribute the govern
ment's action to desire to obtain pop
ularity and to put an end to the SEN
ate's opposition to concluding ar.
rangements with Chilli.
These charges we regard as I'M
founded and we recommend that the
government make public all news from
Acre Immediately after being re.
ceived."
Dispatches received at Lima, Peru,
from La Paz, Bolivia, confirm the re.
port that the government of that re-
public on Saturday declared Bolivia to
be in a state of siege. 1t is rumored
this step was due to the Bolivians hav-
ing been defeated by the revolutionists
in Acre and owing to the presence of
Peruvian forces on the frontier.

VALIDITY OF PLATT AMENDMENT
QUESTIONED By THE HOS

CASE IS BEING PREPARED
Foreign Diplomats Said to Be in

to Uphold cuba's Position.
Havana, Nov. 10.-There is a sensa.
ton on in the air if one may place con.
fdence in the statements here by a
prominent member of one of the lega.
tons. And no less is involved than
the validity of the Plat amendment.
The direct result of this surprise which
Cuban statesmen and diplomats have
planned to spring probably will be the
forcing of the United States into a po-
sition where they will be bound to as.
sert their sovereignty over Cuba de.
spite the fact that the new republic
has been recognized as a sovereign
state.
Opinions of the best international
lawyers have been secured and all are
of the fixed belief, and have so report.
ed to the government, that the Plat
amendment is null and void, and the
statement is made that President Pal.
ma has decided to refer the question
to The Hague international court OF
arbitration for it's ruling.
The Cuban state department, it
would appear, has for some time been
preparing itself for such an eventuality
and now that the republic has been
recognized as Independent by the pow.
ers of Europe and leading Latin Amer.
lea n republics it is believed it may
count upon the tacit approval if not &C.
tive support of France, Great Britain.
Spain, Mexico and Germany in the step
which Secretary of State Zaldo pro-
poses to take.
Refused to Subscribe to Oath.
The first step in the move was made
when upon the primary organization OF
the senate and house of representa-.
tives early in May last the members
of these two branches of the rational
legislature all refused to subscribe tc
the oath prepared to receive their sig.
natures, each as sworn. After some
discussion it was decided the table the
question for future action and to pro
coed with the business before con
gfess, dispensing with the oath of Of
fee. So it never was taken.
me pOlHt, however, was DrOuSnL Out
that while the constitution itself was
duly, approved in the constituent as.
sembly and signed by every member of
the convention, each of his own better
judgment and free will, the "appen.

being incorporated into the consti.

States, was added by the committee
