RIO DE JANEIRO. November o.
Branl's painful case Of Sac Paulo"
continues to be the principal worry Of
The provisional government, which has
Just entered It's second year Of power.
Through all that time Sac Paulo,
dominant In Brazil until the 1880 revo-
lution, has presented a major problem,
cimaxed by the recent three months
sivl war.
Reconstruction since that uprising has
been complicated by series of riots in
the PauliSta capital, and in Santos and
Campinas, which demonstrated that
civil war wounds heal slowly. At least
q dozen persons have been killed and
about 40 injured
The frequency OF the disturbances
ea1ised commission representing eight
of the diSbanded rebel volunteer bat
talions to denounce the outbreaks and
pledge assistance for the authorities
Unemployment in general and the
presence of several thousand disbanded
volunteers in Sac Paulo City have COM
plicated the situation and added to the
seriousness of the street disturbances
Riot Continuance Question.
Whether riots continue between the
present time and the constituent assem-
bly, elections next May seems dependent
upon the course of industrial activity
and cessation Of agitation by the more
enthusiastic regionalistS. A considerable
portion Of Paulistas feel that Sac Paulo
was not defeated. but betrayed by its
own "forca publica" (state military po-
lice in the civil war.
The first Sac Paulo riot after the
revolution came October IL. others fol-
lowed October %, october "a and Oc-
tober IS The outburst october "a was
accompanied by riots in Santos and
Campinas, each Of which has about
100000 population.
The first outbreak started when
civilians and disbanded volunteers at
tackled several stores owned by north
ern Brazilians in Sac Paulo's Praca
Patriarcha, one of the principal squares.
This outburst Of regionaliSm caused
eight deaths in conflicts in front OF the
police station, military headquarters and
governmental palace.
The second serious riot came when
AgitatorS promoted an anti-government
demonstration in connection with the
arrival Of the bodies Of two volunteers
who had died in a government prison.

stubborn for the police.
Campinas Riot Start.
The Campinas riot was started under
similar circumstances, mob attacking
four northern soldiers who were watch
ing a volunteers funeral procession.
Five soldiers and 13 civilians were In
jured in a spirited street combat.
The demonstrators caused the govern
ment to strengthen its troops in Sac
Paulo, although 1t originally intended
to maintain only q small garrison.
Censorship, which had been withdrawn,
was restored The government an
nounced that persons insulting or at
tackins soldiers would be dealt with
severely.
Resentment against the garrison
troops. most Of them from the north
appeared to subside slowly. but recent
disturbances have been less serious
The government, considering the
presence Of thousands Of jobless volun-
teers conducive to rtoting. ordered those
from outside Sac Paulo sent home I'M
mediately and the others Quartered In
barracks for supervision.
