INDIAN RISING.
FEAR OF SPREADING
MANY LIVES MAY BE SACRIFICED
LA PAZ (Bolivia), Aug. 13. It is feared that in the event of the rising of 80,000 Indians in the departments of Potosi, Cochabamba, and Sucre spreading to the department of La Paz a catastrophe may result, because the whites are in a decided minority. , . . , It is expected that the rising will be stamped out by soldiers, trained and equipped on modern lines, though this 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, who are garbed in red blankets, their women following carrying their babes on their backs.—A. and N.Z. cable.
