Already Crushed in Spots
RIO DE JANEIRO, Oct. 7. (AP) Units of the Brazil

southward along the coast to combat the rebellion which

clared late this afternoon that
the administration of President
Washington Luis had the revolt
well In hand.
They asserted that the insur
rectionary movements in the
great rubber-producing state of
Para, north -of the capital, and
in Parana, to -the south, had
been crushed without bloodshed.
Defeat of the rebels In Parana
would be a severe blow to them,
for it Is through this state -that
the 80,000 troops repofled
marching northward from Rio

attack the large coffee metropo

Besides contending that the
entire battle fleet will remain
loyal, the government asserts
that soldiers of the regular army
in the capital district, number
ing 10,000, will stand staunchly
behind the administration.
Moreover the government has
additional resources in the re
serves. These men, ranging in
age from 21 to 30. were warned
two days ago to be ready for
duty but have not been useM so
far.
It is in the financial field,
however, that federal officials"

ernment has been advanced $10.
000,000 by the Bank of Brazil
to put down the rebellion where
as the revolutionaries are said
to have no financial resources.
Sao Taulo reported tonight

Too low Claims

Speaking unofficially, J. T. De

the Oregon-Washington Water
service company Tuesday said he
felt sure his firm couldt not ac
cept the appraisal of the Baar &
Cunningham firm as the selling
price of the plant here.
"Mr. Chenery of the Federal
Utilities company made the city
a fair offer when he was here
this spring," said Delaney. "He
said we would take the exact
amount paid for the plant plus
the amount invested since that
time. Chenery said his company
would ask no profit."
Delaney said many of the engi
neers' valuations were deettedly
too low. He added that he heped
the transfer of the plant could be
accomplished without long litiga
tion but said nothing else was
possible if the appraised value of
1875,000 became the city's offer.

While these government claims
could not be confirmed imme

probably true and a natural de

cently at Peiping of the northern
rebellion when Chang Hseuh-Ll-ang,
Manchurian dictator, flung
his troops into the city.
Feng Yu-Hsing, it is believed,
will retire with his troops to

possibly emerge next spring in
