WILL RESENT ACTION.
Brazil Does Not Want Military Expedi
 ton Into Her Territory.

Washington, March 7.-Regarding re- cent reports from Paris that syndi- cate had been organized there, and had purchased four steamships for the purpose of carrying a military expedition to the territory between Oyapoc and Araguary rivers, it is understood that the Brazilian government will resent any such action as the sending of an expedition to what is claimed of the Brazilian territory.
 It was this territory which was award ed to Brazil in December, 1900. by the Swiss government. which acted as the ar bitrator in the litigation over the terri tory and denied French claim to it. It is the belief of the Brazilian government that any aggression on this territory by France would constitute an infringement on the Monroe doctrine. which not only Brazil but the United States should op- pose.
