Rebels Disarmed After Abortive
Outbreak—Four Hundred
Cross Over Into
Uruguay
Montevideo, Uruguay, Jan. 2.
(AP)—More than 400 Brazilian insurrectionists are reported to have
crossed the border into Uruguay
and been disarmed by the Uruguayan
authorities.
Reports regarding the situation
in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, where
a rebellious movement has been in
progress for some time, are conflicting.
Dispatches from Rivera, on the
Brazilian frontier, say that loyal
Brazilian forces in fighting on the
bank of Curvera river have completely
defeated the rebels, commanded by Julio Barrios and Zeccaninetto, the rebel chief.
Revolutionary sources, on the
other hand, say that Zeccannetto
did not participate in the battle
but that several hundred men, intent on joining his army, crossed
into Uruguay on learning of the
proximity of the loyal troops.
Ever since the Sao Paulo revolt in July, 1924, there have been
recurring reports of rebellious
movements in isolated parts of
Brazil. These insurrections were
sometimes directed against the federal
government and at other times
against the state authorities. A
recent official statement from Rio
de Janeiro, the capital, minimized
the importance of the outbreaks.

Conflicting reports from Rio Grande do Sul indicate loyal Brazilian forces defeated rebels commanded by Julio Barrios and Zeccaninetto on the Curvera river bank. Revolutionary sources claim Zeccannetto did not participate, and men crossed to join him upon learning of approaching loyal troops.
