Extraordinary Conduct OF the Chilean Repre-.
resentative-He Snubs His Allies, and is
Snubbed in His Turn by Secretary Fish.
In official circles at washington there is much
comment on the course OF Mr.. GOdoy, the repre-
sentative Of Chile which by the code OF dip lomacy
is without extenuating circumstances. Mr.. GodOy
Is charged with bad faith and usurpation OF the
diplomatic functions belonging to the representa-
tive OF another Power, that Power being Peru, the
ally Of his government. An armistice was recently
concluded between Spain ana the South American
, republics OF Chile Peru, Bolivia ana Ecuador,
which was brought about by the mediation Of the
to keep the peace for three years. and must not
new hostilities without proper notice, The agree
ment was to be ratified by the respective gov
ernments, and Publications were to be
exchanged at the Department Of State.

OF the armistlce but If any OF the governments

control, effect the exchange OF Publications within
the fixed period, delay was 70 be granted. 1t
appears that the representatives OF Cnile Peru and
| Bolivia demanded an extension or time. They,
| therefore, met in the State Department, IN
the presence OF Mr.. Fish, and agreed
upon proongation necessary to give them time
to receive the ratification OF armistlce from their
respective governments. An arrangement was
arrived at In which Mr. GOcOy as representative OF

OF the State department presented one copy Of the

man, to his astonishment anu In violation of
the most essential rules OF diplomacy not only re-
fused TO sign the agreement, put presented, IN the

| Bolivia. another paper, different from the
agreed upon, and IN violation OF
the compact which he had s0lemnly entered Into in
the presence Of Mr.. Fish. Mr.. Freyre the represen-
tatve OF Peru and Bolivia, who was entirely igno-
rant of his action, Is furious over this pre-
sumption In assuming to negotiate In the
name Of Peru and Bolivia OF which he

rightly contends that he ought least to have been
consulted In so grave matter by Mr. Godoy, before
the latter attempted to act In the name oil Power
