RISING FEARED.
INDIANS IN BOLIVIA. WHITES IN MINORITY. Le Paz, Aug. 13. It is feared that in the event of a rising of 800,000 Indians in the departments of Potosi, Cochabamba and Sucre spreading to the department of La Paz, it might become a catastrophe, because there are 200,000 Indians in La Paz and the whites are in a decided minority. It is expected the rising will be stamped out by soldiery trained and equipped on modern lines, though it may require the sacrifice of many lives.
Stories are current of depredations at haciendas, the owners of which are fleeing before the infuriated descendants of the Incas, garbed in red blankets, their women following carrying their babies on their backs. —(A. and N.Z.)
