REBELS SUPPLIES SHORT.
Hold Sac Paulo, But Likely to Lose
City, Report Says.

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright. 1924.
SANTOS, Brazil, July 13,-(Via
Buenos Aires, July 14) Sac Paulo is
In complete control of the rebels. The
federals have been attacking them,
but with little success to date.
Santos is quiet following a two
day revolutionary furry. It is un-
known here what the situation Is in
Rio de Janeiro. The people of Santos
feel that the federal prediction that
II would be easy to capture Sac
Paulo was highly optimistic in view
of the strength of the rebel forces.
The federal government thus far
has sent $4,000 troops to suppress the
rebellion against the rebels, who
number $4,000, according to estimates
here.
The Rio government, in it's deter
mination to put down the Sac Paulo
rebellion, Is transferring it's best
troops there and probably will sue
ceed unless the spirit of the troops
fails. The rebels are reported to be
short of funds. 1t is said that the
Rio government, anticipating the in
surrection, caused the transfer of
large sums of cash from Sac Paulo to
Rio.
Stocks OF grain, meat and canned
goods in Sac Paulo are getting low
and prices are exorbitant The rebels
control the railroads in the, Sac
.Paulo district and are compelling the
farmers to supply them with food.

city today. The delegation is headed
by Prof. Alberto de Stefani, minis
ter of finance.
The newspapers commenting today
on the conference continue to ex
press doubts as to it's practical re-
suits The Messagero thinks the re-
establishment of cordiality between
France and Great Britain Is merely
apparent, since, IL says, the two coun
tries disagree on the fundamental
program of the conference, namely,
on the application Of the Dawes plan,
and especially on the participation OF
Germany in the conference and
whether it will be necessary or not
to draw up a new protocol &C
ceptable to Germany.
The Italian delegation, it is as
serted, goes to London, with instruc-
tions to act as q conciliatory element
between the two divergent view
points.
The foreign policy of two great
countries is, therefore. in Germany's
opinion, dictated by an active group
of French jtngoes and war makers
who are not even a majority in their
own country. But ii must be admitted
that the Germans are none too active
themselves in hurrying necessary leg
islation. Their feeble internal poll
cies, unwillingness of the cabinet to
take a stand for or against the Ma
| tionalists, or the unwillingness of the
Nationalists to approve or disapprove
fatty the Dawes report and the general
| tendency to use the foreign situation
for small domestic issues, have half
paraIyzed German initiative and rem
dered the German credit situation even
worse than 1t would be naturally, and
have created a generally bad impress
sion.
Whether German statesmen are un-
aware, Indifferent or helpless, certainly
they do not make a great effort to as
sist foreigners in the attempt to show
that the German economic situation
will be worthy of foreign credit, once
political barriers are removed.
Foreign Minister Stresemann. after
consenting to give an important state
ment to one correspondent, walked
with it for FIVE days in his pocket. and
finally lost it altogether. 1t seems,
somehow, that this characterizes Ger
