Bolivia and Persia Have TroubIes.

Hostilities are on the point of breaking
out between Bolivia and Peru. In their
boundary dispute, which was arbitrated
by the president OF Argentina, the deci-
sion was adverse to Bolivia, whereupon
the Boliviana offered indignities to Senior
Fonseca, the Argentine minister at La
Paz, who has been forced to quit his
post. All three countries are making war
preparations. Chilli promises to remain
neutral. The constitutional movement
In Persia has reached a stage that has
given the possession of most Of the cspi-
tai city, TeheFan, to its forces. Fighting
has been in progress for months, but the
revolutionists seem to have gained the as
cendancy. The demand is for q modern
constitution and the movement is much
like that which has recently taken place
in Turkey.
