REVOLT IN PARAGUAY SUPPRESSED
MEMBERS OF LEFTIST PARTY (Rec. 7 p.m.) ASUNCION, March 8.

The insurgents are reported to be members of the Leftist Febrerista Party. ' • The Government has announced that it has received messages of support from the armed forces and that “peace reigns in all parts of the republic.” —' Paraguay has been under a state of siege since January 13, when the President ousted Febrerista Party members from the Cabinet, following the discovery of a plot to overthrow the regime.
