Cause of the Violence.
Until the Argentine presidents decision
IN tho frontier limits Of Bolivia and Peru
nos announced Friday Bolivia believed
that the decision would be in her favor
A large and influential party in BoiiVia
had advocated prior to the announcement
ne the award that Bolivia cement ties

was not pressed ana Arseh'io

Attack by Mob.
The announcement that Argentha nsu
decided in favor of Peru and that boiisld
is in danger of losing the rich territory
which has been the subject OF dispute
was followed by an attack by moD Oh
the Argentine legation in La Paz. Cro"os
ran through the street crying, Death TO
Argentina and Peru.
The i'll feeling in Bolivia was Increased
some time ago when 1t was charged py
some Bolivian interests that Baron RIO
Branco, Brazilian foreign minister, had
exerted his influence to get Bolivia to
cede the rich Acre territory. A commas
sion of arbitration met at Petropolis 10
deliberate on the indemnity due because
of the recent war and to consider the
disposition of the Acre territory. Brazil
Maid Bolivia S1O,OO0,0OO on account or
this territory, and in Bolivia 1t was
charged that much if not all of this
money had been swallowed up during the
deliberations OF the arbitration commits
sion at Petropolis.
Peru Serves Notice.
At the time Brazil purchased the ter
ritory from Bolivia Peru served notice on
Rrazil that the territory was to be the
subject of arbitration between Bolivia and
Peru, but in Bolivia it was held that when
Argentina came to arbitrate the frontier
disnute Peru's claims would be found to
be valueess.
Persons familiar with conditions in Bo-
livia at the present time realize that the
sentiment of the people OF that country
is SO much in favor of insistence on Bo-
Iivi~,s claim to the ownership of the Acre
territory that the people of Bolivia are
disposed to look with intense disfavor on
ANYTHING that favors Peru In that dispute
In Bolivia it is held that the wasting or
the S1O,OOOcOO which WAS paid by Brazil
IN Bolivia makes ii essential that Bo-
liyia should insist on her rights In the
Acre territory. .
