Further messages to band to-day state that it is feared that should the rising, which has spread to * the departments of Cochambamba an A. Sucre, assume larger proportions, it might become a catastrophe. Tlieer are 200,000 Indians at La Paz, and the white people are in a decided minority.
It is expected, however, that the rising will be stamped out by the military, oerhaps at the sacrifice of many lives.
Stories are told of depredations by the rebels. Hacienda owners are fleeing from the infuriated descendants of the Incas garbed in red blankets. Women are following with babies on their backs. —A. and N.Z.
