Quote #4
I know the intentions of Montero's brother, Pedrito, the guerrillero, whom I exposed in Paris, some years ago, in a cafe frequented by South American students, where he tried to pass himself off for a Secretary of Legation. He used to come in and talk for hours, twisting his felt hat in his hairy paws, and his ambition seemed to become a sort of Duc de Morny to a sort of Napoleon. (II.7.43)

The only guiding motive of his life was to get money for the satisfaction of his expensive tastes, which he indulged recklessly, having no self-control. He imagined himself a master of intrigue, but his corruption was as simple as an animal instinct. At times, in solitude, he had his moments of ferocity, and also on such occasions as, for instance, when alone in a room with Anzani trying to get a loan. (II.8.42)
Sotillo is described as animalistic, reckless, and ferocious—that is, your basic stereotype of the savage that we've seen throughout the book.
Quote #6

(III.2.5)
Here, Captain Mitchell describes the "barbarity" to which he almost fell victim during the Monterist uprising and its aftermath.
