Rio de Janeiro, Nov. 29.

· After nearly three years of warfare in the jungle and swamp of the Gran Chaco valley, the Bolvian army now faces final and complete defeat, while the Govern- ment at La Paz is attempting to secure a hurried peace with Paraguay and prevent a carnage in the battle field. The Bolivian army is in danger of being surrounded in the Gran Chaco and attacked from all sides at once by the Paraguayans, and the country itself is in a state of turmoil approaching revolution.

The disturbed affairs of state are due to the dis- content in the army, where the troops and subordinate officers are infuriated at what they consider futile tactics and needless sacrifice in action. They blame the general staff for their recent reversos in the line. The Paragunyan forcee recently -cut a gap through the Bolivian line- near Fort Canada El Carmen They are continuing to hammer at

The eight-year-old son of Sir Hector Murray Mc- Neal, the well-known shipping magnate, has been discovered a stow-away aboard the liner Queen of Bermuda.

Sir Hector, with his little boy, the only son of the family, was visiting Bermuda and the West Indies. He had spent some days ashore in Bermuda on business when his son syddenly disappeared. There was for a time a auspiclon that the boy had been kidnapped

Richard William Orchard, 45, commissioned engineer of H.M.S. Grimsby, which arrived here a few weeks ago from Home, was dis- missed his ship and severely reprimanded at a Court Martial held on board H.M.S. Tamar this morning.

Orchard was found guilty of a charge of being absent without leave, to which he pleaded guilty; and also of neglecting his duty in that he failed to inform his Cap- tain that an important order re- garding a refrigerator could not be carried out.

To this latter charge accused, pleaded not guilty, but, in admitt- ing that he failed to notify the Captain, said he was very worried at not being able to carry out the order to the letter" and hnd still had at that time some light hope of getting the refrigerator in order.

(SPECIAL TO “TELEGRAPH") - (By Telegraph. Copyright, Telegraphic Messages Ordinance, 1894. Received, Nov. 30, 9.15 am.)

Washington, Nov. 29.

The Administration is apparently increasingly de- termined to engage in a naval construction race with Japan if the Tokyo Government forces the issue by insisting upon naval parity and denouncing the Washington Treaty which governs the sea strength of the nations.

The Government is apparently reconciled to the belief that Japan will abrogate the Washington and London Treaties, but officials are not budging from their refusal to concede parity.

Instead, the determination is hardening that United States should enforce the five-five-three ratio in so far as she is able, by building five warships for every three Japan lays down.
