BOLIVIA WANTS WAR.
BUT BRAZIL is NOT so ANXIOUS
FOR TROUBLE.
hut In Case Trouble Comes, Brazil
Will be Prepared, Having Decided
to Concentrate Troops.

The Brazilian legation at Paris has
issued an official statement by the Bra
lillian government explaining the lat
ter's position toward the Acre dispute
and the projected expedition Into the
Acre territory of President Pando OF
Bolivia.
The statement declares that the Bra
lillian government has given Bolivia TO
understand that the contract with the
Bolivian syndicate is monstrosity on
law. since 1t entails the partial aliena-
ton of sovereignty to foreign com
pany. and that the concession is VOID,
inasmuch as it disposes of territory
which is at the present time the sub
ject Of dispute with Peru. The state
ment proceeds to say that Brazil has
always given a liberal Interpretation
to the treaty Of 1867, seeking to favor
Bolivia by procuring her facilities OF
communication of the Amazon and the
Paraguay. But Bolivia, having alien
ated to foreign syndicate the rights
conceded to her in the Acre territory,
Brazil will now sustain the strict in
depreciation of the treaty.
After recounting the various propos-
ais which have been made to adjust
the dispute, the statement concludes;
Bolivia having refused all these pro-
posals, and President Pando having de-
cided to march against the Brazilian
subjects in Acre, the president of Bra
I'll has decided to concentrate troops
In the adjoining states of Matte Grasso
and Amazonas"

sentatives. The announcement was

Mr.. Wolcott charges certain Repub-

with treachely, deliberate and continu-
Gus, although he disposes of others Of
the nnti-Wolcott crowd by character

PLOTTED TO RAID TOWN.
Gang of Desperadoes Intended to Rob
Banks by Wholesale.

It is now known to a certainty by
officers of Carbon county, Montana,
that the famous Bridger bank robbery
in October was only intended as the
first step in one of the most stupendous
plots In the criminal history of Mon
tana. The statement is made by one
in authority, who refuses to allow the
use Of his name at this time, that the
prosecution will prove when the case
comes before the district court that it
was intended by the gang, after the
successful robbery of the Stock Grow
ers' bank of Bridger, to assemble
twenty men in western Carbon county
and make raid on Red Lodge, with
the loot of three banks as the prize in
store.
This conspiracy, which would have
entailed bloodshed and destruction aw-
full to contemplate, was interrupted, 1t
is claimed, by the fact that the robbers
were trailed in the snow to Rainey Nc
Donald's cabin in Rosebud county,
where four of them were arrested by
Sheriff Potter's posse.
This is not the first time plot has
been laid to raid Deer Lodge. Only last
summer officers received word that the
Hole n-the- Wall crowd were on the
way here for that purpose. Officers
prepared to give them a hot reception,
and the desperadoes, becoming aware
Of this, turned aside somewhere.

LYNCH MUST DIE.
Convicted in British Court of High
Treason and Sentenced to Death.

Convicted in British Court of High
Treason and Sentenced to Death.
Colonel Arthur Lynch, member OF
parliament for Galway, was on Friday
found guilty of high treason and SEN
fenced to death.
The jury, after having been out half
an hour. returned verdict of guilty.
When asked if he had anything to say
as to why he should not be sentenced
to death. Colonel Lynch replied:
Thank you. l will say nothing"
The sentence of death was passed on
each of the four counts in the indict-
ment. The prisoner then bowed to the
court and was removed in custody.
The London newspapers take it for
granted that the sentence passed upon
Colonel Lynch will be committed. They
urge that punishment should be in
fiicted exemplary enough to act as a
deterrent upon others, but not suf-
ficiently severe to make Lynch a
martyr.

a furnace. Nothing was left stand

dormitories and the bedsteads OF the
patients were melted by the intense
heat.
Some OF the lunatics were burned In
their beds, and the charred remains
OF others were found huddled to-
