C., Sept. 2 —The tevolt in Bolivia, South Amerioa, is being carried on by a people closely related to the ancient Incas of the Andrean Highlands, whose civiliza- tion, before the coming of the Span- ish conquerors, was one of the most highly developed in the New World. A bulletin from the Washington, D. C. headquarters of the National Geo- graphical society tells of these high- anders and their past glories, “The Indians of Bolivia are Aymaras,” says the bulletin, “while the direct descendants of the Incas, in Peru, are known as Quichuas. The old Incas, at the height of their power, conquered the Aymaras of their day, but the Aymara land around Lake Titicaca was the holy land of the Incas, because they looked upon it as the erigin of both their civilization and their blood. Because of this relationship the Aymaras reccived special privileges over the other vassals of the Tncas. The full blood Bolivian Indians of today therefore, may be looked up- on as representatives of the race from which the Tucas civiliza- tion &prang great Sullen Tows W hites The Bolivian Aymaras and the Peruvian Quichuas, are much alike in appearance and characteristics. Those of the highlands of both coun- e oped huge chests in the rarefied air. Their active life of climbing has given them ex strong leg muscles. Both have da reddish complexions, broad face and black eyes. They are a sullen people, having little to do with the whites ana ently resenting their intrusion “More than 50 per cent of the in- habitants of Bolivia are full blood Aymaras while nearly 30 per cent are of mixed blood, the so-called ‘Cholas.’ The Cholas and the whites live for the most part in La Paz the capital of Bolivia, and the other sizable towns. The village popula- tions are almost wholly Indians, and large numbers of Indians also live on the agricultural estates, and the grazing lands, working usually for white owner: neestors Built Great Cities “Although it is bitterly cold on the wind-swept, bleak, upland plains of Bolivia, the natives are scantily clad, most of them going bare-legged. They seem intent, how- ever, on keeping their heads warm; and beneath their hats men wear woolen scull caps. They live chiefly on frozen potatoes and dried goat meat. he great mass of the Indian pop- vlation of Bolivia is illiterate. Many of the Indians cany ik Spanish, and some who understand the lan- guage pretend ignorance fo avoid contacts with the whites, “Yet the ple produced great cities whic evidence of a high degree of culture.
