mkker forests of Acre are J. Pierpont
Mwhh, Avcaat Belmont, Frederick P.
Oteett. and other prominent lights of the
financial world. That the syndicate will
et Its due share of protection Is there
fere a foregone conclusion, although it
wHl of course devolve upon Bolivia to
hew that the rights she granted were
hers to grant
Germany's Interest In the matter arises
fresn the fact that that aggressive people
controls the trade of all northern Brazil,
including the province of Amazonas. The
sasse country is also predominant In
Bolivia. More than 27 per cent of Bo
livia's imports are from Germany, and
about 8 per cent from the United States,
and about 40 per cent of her exports are
to Germany, against 5 per cent to the
United States. That the Kaiser will
zealously resist any action that might
tend to reverse these figures is a cer
tainty. In a way Brazil seems to Have the lead
on her rivals, from the fact that the na
tural route to travel from Acre to civiliz
ation is down the Amazon to the Atlantic
seaboard. However, Peru is busy con
structing a railroad designed to pene
trate the heart of the district and if
that is done the' advantage will be with
Peru. Bolivia, however, covets the
wealth of Acre, to use It as a weapon
with which to Induce or compel Chill to
restore her a port on the Pacific, and to
that end seeks to enlist the aid or the
United States.
As exhibiting the possibilities of Acre
as a wealth producer, it is related that
one of the presidents, dictators, or kings
(whichever you choose to call them) left
after enjoying a few months' rule with a
fortune of more than 100,000 in gold. He
was a Mexican by birth, a baseball play
er by profession, and a ruler by accident
He "nsate his pile" in Acre and then "re
tired"' to New Tork to spend it He suc
ceeded so well that he is reported to have
died in September in poverty and
squalor.

SQUAD OF VENEZUELAN REBELS.
General Matos, leader of the revolutionary forces In Venezuela, declares
that he has an army of twelve thousand men ready to depose Castro. The
Venezuelan president must therefore turn from danger without to quell In
surrectionary strife.
In 1900 the crude rubber production of
Acre reached the enormous total of more
than 4,500,000 kilograms, valued at 29,
000,000. This is surely a. stake worth play

Following the sensational story of the flight of Princess Louise of Saxony,
who has given up all right to share the throne because of her love for a
Freack tutor, and her hatred of her husband, comes the news that the
wHl seek a legal separation from her husband if the pope will give
Ms
may settle the controversy there Is sure
to be unending trouble in subjecting the
people of Acre to any of the existing
governments. The rubber xepubllc, as It
is sometimes called, is so remote from
civilization, so difficult of access, and con
trolled by such reckless spirits that its
subjugation will be a contract sufficient
to tax the resources of any of the na
tions concerned. Its revenue can be
made unprecedented. In proportion to Its
size and population, by the simple im
position of an export duty on crude rub
ber. Its agricultural resources are un
limited, and its forests are filled with
valuable cabinet and dye woods, medi
cinal plants, and food products.
It is stgnflcant that the proposed capi
tal city" of Acre is to be called Nova
York. Its frontier custom-house, Puerto
Alonzo, on the Bolivian boundary, is
open for business, and its chief city,
Puerto Acre, is reported to contain a
population of more than 18,000.
Most of the little we know about Acre
.. is derived from the French engineer, Al
bert de Lautreppe of Paris, who was
commissioned by the Peruvian govern
ment to survey the route for the pro
posed railroad. He found the plan to be
feasible, so far as natural features of
the country were concerned.
