LA PAZ. , ilolivia , July . - ( I C
tespundenco of The Rm. ) T of
all the people of Bolivia are Indians , 'rite
the size of
country is more than ore-sixth
tire United Slates without Alaaka and these
Indians ore scattered all over it. Some of
therm are savage , but the bulk , comprising
n population approximating 1,000,000 , belong -
long to two civilized tribes known as the
Quichua ( iCeecli wuh ) and Aymara. Thu
Qtdchua claim to be the desida of the
old Incas. They are foun I about hn
shores of Lake Titicaca and In the
' states to time sonllt of La Paz. The Aymaras
{ Inhabit this digit plateau and their villages
of nail labs any ho counted by the thousands -
sands in this i nrt of Itnllv'la. They are a
pcoplu of tlienseves , with clrlons habits ,
queer custons std a life anti character peculiarly -
culiarly their own , it I should say that
slavery still prevails In Bolivia 1 suppose
the slnlement w'oubl be disputed. IL is true
tnverllheless. 'rhesa Indians are to a great
will work for their masters for nothing
rather than receive pay from a foreigner ,
nod they will light to the death the Indians
of a neighboring plantation with whom they
are angry or of whom they are jealous ,
Feuds often exist between the mullahs of
the farina of a neighborhood , and gun lights
and sling lights are common. Time sling
la the natural weapon of the Aymara , lie
has the skill of David , anti Is never afraid
to nttnck Ida Goliah at such tiniest lie uses
the sling to stone ills sheep from straying
from the flock , and from behind hits but
often watches for hla enemy and scuds a
rock crashing through his brain. Ile considers -
siders his master's grievances his own , and
vvlll engage In any battle to which he may
be Instigated by hhu. I braid of a case of
this kind Inst night. A foreign merchant
of La Paz had bought n small plantation
with a certain number of Indians , adjoining
the estate of a rich Bolivian , The Ilolielan
coveted the foreigner's prnperty and wanted
to force hum to sell it cheap , lie fomented
a feud between his Indinns and those of the
foreigner. The crops of the foreigner's In-
dinns were pulled from the ground , his coca
were stoned , and at last they came to him
and told hit their situation. lie asked them
what they' were going to do about it. They
replied that It lie would allow them the key
of the house and church and give then forty
pounds of cocoa leaves null six gallons of alcohol -
cohol they would soon settle the difficulty.
They told line that the IIohh'lan was trying
to nmko hint sick of tie bargain , and that
ho was doing this so that ho would gladly
sell out the property for little or nothing.
"tout , " said the foreigner to the clitrf of
thn Indians , "what can you do ? You have
only forty mien and the Bolivian has 260. "
'rho cidef said ho would get the ' dians of
other snail farms aenr by to unite with
them , This they did. 'rile ) coucenled these
Iullans In the church ou the estate , and
when the marauding Indians came again
uad Iegat to pull up the crops all sallied
forth. There vas a pitched battle , and
about thirty of the Ilohlvittu's Indians were
killed , The result was that the Iloilvlat
cane n tiny or so later to the foreigner aid
asked ldm to soil bin his place Suld the
foreigner ; "Yes , I will sell to you , but any
jmrlce is now $ :0,000. I offered you the farm
a mouth ago nor $16,000 , but after what you
have done you cannot have it for Less than
$ :0,000.
"I wlli take It , " was the reply. "I have
had enough of you , and as I want the farni
I svIll pay what you ask. " And be did ,
'flee l'onaft.
All the dishwashing , tire tanking and
water carrying as wren as the dirty work
of the household generally In La Paz is done
by men relied Pongos The Pongo of most
' houses is changed every week and many
1 families have lit-two ) different 1'ougos lu
a year. This is duo to one of the customs
svhicb prevails here between tdto lndlans and
their piasters , In addition to the three days
a week without pal' , which the Indians must
give they have to furnish also without pay
so nanny men a svicek to do the dirty work
about the house. On i large farm Ave or
slit toore such teen are furilched than are
needed by the family of the planter and they
are then hired out to others. As the Pongo
works only for a week at a time , the cent-
tract Is made la furnish one a year for front
ISO to fled Iloll'lan or from $28 to $35
Atherlean. The Pongo when be comes at
the first of 11w week brings with him live
bags of llama mumuo for the fuel of the
household and also two or tbree native
brooms. Ile gets nothing for these and re-
coiv s , in short , no psy whatevo t q
he elea on the co14 ttOtfIt lai1 0'
leading to the street anti must get up and
open to anyone who knocks. The work
done by him wIll not be clone by any of
the other servants , so tlmat if you should
m
have twenty other servants you must sUli
have your Pongo. The Por.go alone will go
to the public fountain for the water , lute
II'ongo carries the vegettmbles anti meals
which tyre cook buys home from market , anS
the I'ongo alone empties the slops and dents
pots and pans ,
These Indians often give their children
over to the whites to be brought up by
theta as servants , There Is a money con-
sideratton and though the Rollvian law provides -
vides for the education of a child so bought
this is practically limited by the caprice of
the buyer. The contract usually provides
that the parents may have the child back
it they pay 20 cents a day for lute time it
butt been in the hands of the buyer , but as
the Indians never have any money ahead
such sales are usually absoiuto and they are
in force tuilil the child is of age. If the
roaster don't like the child , however , he can
send it back , claiming that it has some
fault , Manny of the house servants of La
Paz are gotten in this way , one usually be-
lug allotted to each child of a well-to-do
family. The servants are lazy and indll-
clent , 1t requiring about four Indians to do
the work of one good American hired girl.
'rime wages arc from $1.20 to $10 u month in
this money , which Is equal to from 12 cents
to $3.50 American money.

I wish I could take you Into one of these
Indian huts and allow you just how hundreds -
dreds of thousands of people live here In
Bolivia. IL is by no menus easy to get into

and will not admit anyone if ho can help

'I hi Great Sout h .ttnrritnn Chew.
There Is onto thing that is more important
to time ilolivlan Indian than hisuncals. This
Is his coca or his daily and hourly , and I
might nhuost say his perpetual , chew , lit
feats coca as a horse eats hay. 3ndlnus can ,
Iployed in the mines each insist on a daily
allowance of live ounces of coca leaves in
addition to their wages , and tinny of the
farmers give coca to their men. Women
and clmfldren chew coca , and it ! s rarely
that you can find an Indian without a big
lunip of it Inside his check. Coca is Indeed
one of the chief products of Uolivia. MIl-
Ilotis of dolbars' worth of it are produced
every year , and it is brought Into La Paz
daily hi large quantities. Coca is tine aimrub
front which cocaine is node , It should be
distinguished from the cacao tree , frgm
which we get our chocolate and cocoa. The
coca plaint grows front two to five feet in
height , and It Is largely cmllivnted hr the
eastern provinces of Bolivia. Each plant
gives three crops of leaves a year. Time
leaves are gathered by Indian women ,
packed up ht bundles of twenty-five pounds
each and shipped to the markets of lime
backs of llamas , donkeys or mules , It is
t
heavily taxed and is ono of the chief sources
of govertuneut revenue.
The Indians use coca much as the Slant-
050 chew the betel nut. They take lute
leaves , which , by line way , look not unlike
wintergreen leaves , and mix them with
names of lime. They chew time nmmixture ,
and strange to any , swallow' their spittle
Time elmew ! s sold to be both a food mud n

lays hunger. Many of the Indians go out
and work for hours on noting. but a clew

lain passes they nlways'thaw ! it. At noon
and breakfast times they put' in supplies
of time mixture , but keep on clnewiug nil
day long year 111 and yeartout , Strange to '
say , lids continuous chewlni does not seem
to cause Indigestion , and I mtam told that
! t has no evil effects , Not 4 few of time
ihalf-breeds use coca , but I haste yet to flail
sty whites whe are addicted to'tme habit.
The lolivian Indian drinks -rats' alcohol.
This be esteems the most.deslreble of beverages -
erages , and a large part of.his earnings
goes toward keeping himseltand Llis family
in a chronic state of Ineb lety , On feast
days , and I am told that the Indian claims
200 feast days out of every 305 , men , ssutaen
and children get drunk and keep so until
the alcohol and their money run out. Drunkenness -
enness is , I an told , the Indian's idea of
the acme of pleasure , Speaking of alcohol
sand aguardlenle or sugar brmtn'y , which Is
( largely used here , reminds toe of a curious
method they have of carrying such Rqunrs
over line country. It must all go on the
backs of men or mules , and the receptacle
' In which It is taken is usually a goat skin.
I
The skins , I am authentically Informed , are
torn from the bodies of the goats while
'still living , as such skims make more pliable
and better bags. The goats are hung up
by lye horns , Then a slit is made nboul
the neck and a couple of men , seizing bold
of the skin , fairly rip it from the body of
the tortured and dying animal ,
