Corre spondence of the Associated Press.) Dr. Inooencio Sorxedello Correa, dep uty from the state of Para, and for merly a minister, published recently the following article, which will show the feeling of the greater part of the Braxillans of the northern states of Brazil In regard to the vast region of th-3 upper Amaaon at present under the rule of Colonel Braks and others, who deposed the president of the re public of Acre: 'There has never been any revolu tion against the Brazilian authorities In Acre. The population of almost the whole of that region, composed of about 20.004 Brazilians, demand guaran tee for their property and the payment of such duties to the Brazilian gov ernment as they were always accus tomed to pay. The mixed Brazilian Bolivian commission will meet every facility, and aid In carrying out the survey and making plants of the head waters of the Javary. "The Brazilian naval force will be met with festivals which are already prepared, and not a gun will be fired. You need have no fear that Acre will prove to be another Canudor. The laboring people have not practiced a single act of violence, and all the news of combat and deaths so plentifully published at Rio Janeiro and here are also unfounded. Commanders Cardezo, Quiorei, and Parente and General Galvas have al ready arrived from Acre and confirm what I say. The Tupy will go up the river In March and will return loaded with rubber in April, just as all other steamers have gone up and come down. The desire is not to pay duties to the Bolivians at their improvised custom house at Purto Alonzo. All declare this. I "All the Brazilian merchants and laborers trust the the Brazilian gov- eminent will not force them to pay, but they affirm should the govern- t ment send orders to the gunboats and ' forces under Baptist Franco, they will not resist while the vessels are here, i but when the waters recede, obliging i the gunboats to come down, they will ' again throw off the Bolivian Jurisdlc- tion." j Moyses Santivane, Bolivian consul at 1 Para, has published the following In re- ! gard to the Acre question: "The final termination of these I events suggested to the government of Amozane, the Idea of expelling the Bolivian authorities from Purto Alon zo, and to this end orders were sent to the judge at Antimary and to the dele gate of police, the highest state au thorities In that region and those car- j rled out faithfully the instructions j sent j "At the head of eighty or one hun- j dred Brazilians of Acre they entered i Purto Alonzo, which was wholly un- I prepared for an attack of any kind j and unsuspicious of any ill will on the j part of the Brazilian citizens, v ho are ! In a large majority. When the acts j were consummated their only desire ; was to Inform the supreme federal gov- : eminent at Rio, so confident were they j that these would be consummated and I Bolivian authorities replaced by the j Brazilian government. And, In fact, this was the attitude at first assumed , by Campos Salles, who gave orders to j Ramalho to chastise the delinquents i and replace the deposed members of 1 the delegation; but as this measure ! would mean the abandonment of what i was later to be his right, the agent j of the government had recourse to astuteness in order to prevent the , Bolivians from reoccupying the dis- ! trict and from this the idea of the Gal vez expedition was born, prepared and realized at Maais, without the least scruple; so much so that even before ' the arrival of the prenldent of the In- ! dependent republic at Purto Alonzo we ! already knew of the famous lndepen- j dence movement organized by agents I of an unknown syndicate, whose mana ger was the then editor of the Com merclo do Amazonas, Alberto Merelra, Jr. "Galzts was accompanied by thirty adventurers, nearly all Spaniards, well armed and provisioned at a cost of SO,000. He carried with lnm his manl- ! festo printed at Manals and constituted J the same newspaper his organ. These j and other adventurers have constantly received 8 id of ail kinds from Manals I and even in Tara. So far every means j fcau Ir-en efi'i'y-d to prevent the re- : placement of the Bolivian authorities. "It la too early to declare that Boll- ; via has not the means of Imposing by j force her authority. She has never thought for a moment that the federal I Belt Buckles Gilt, OxWUied, Gun Metal, enameled and Oid Rose; each 124 and 30c.

IMPORTANCE OF Gl'AM. Naval Department Will Make It a Base of Operation and Coaling Station. NKW YORK, March 29.-A special to the Tribune from Washington says: The naval authorities have decided that Guam strategetically is of scarce ly less value than Hawaii and have begun the preparation of plans to make it one of the most Important naval bases on the Pacific. The projected Improvements will In volve an expenditure of several mil hens for a breakwater at Port San Luis d'Apra, a coaling wharf and re pair shops and shore batteries for pro tection against assault. The departmen has just received complete surveys of the harbor and port of the Island with exhaustive soundings at the port, and Is making an accurate chart to be used in laying down the public works. The project will be perfected by a board to sit In Washington and an advisory board may be convened at Guam to furnish additional Information. Admirals Ke- mey and Kempff will also visit Guam and make reports before construction work begins. It is proposed to erect on the side of the harbor of Port San Luis d'Apra a coal shed and wharf of W.OuO tons ca pacity, with automatic loading ma chinery. The immediate necessity ror this is shown by the fact that all naval vessels bound across the Pacific are compelled to call for coal at Guam, none of them being able to make Ma nila or Hong Kong, after leaving Hono lulu with full bunk?rs, except through the exercise of extreme economy and the maintenance of their lowest speed. The army transport service has found that a whole day can be saved on the voage to Manila, by running faster and recoaling at Guam and these ships will stop there regularly as soon as rapid coaling facilities are provided by the navy.

Joint lilsh com mission on the Increased responsibili ties of the Protestant Episcopal church has been made public. The report Is in part as follows: "The rellKious situation In the Phil Ipplnes Is such as was to be expected In a colony of Spain. She has stamped her ecclesiastical traditions narrow, intolerant and often corrupting wherever she has gone, and she has gone almost everywhere among the various Islands of the archipelago, groat and small. "Worst of all. her religious orders, except, perhaps, the Jesuits, have rob bed the people, wrung from them their lands and taxed the administration of the sacraments and ordinances of re ligion with a scale of exactions and Im positions at once scindalt us and out rageous.
