The latest adviccs from south America
indicate that the attempts 10 restore amlty be-
tween Chill and the Argentine Confederation
have proved vain and thnt tho clash OF con-
tending arms will soon rcsounl among the
lofty peaks OF the Andes. The feeling between
the two republics is so bitterly hostile and their
jealousy OF each other is so great that a san
culinary STRUGGLED not already begun-is in
all probability inevitable. Both the Argentine
Confederation and Chill are well prepared for
war, and there is reason to believe that the
negotiations which have proved abortiyr We're
not begun in good faith hy the Argentine au-
thorities but with view Of gaining time in
order to orsanze naval nttack upon Chilian

nothing less than the control II the lower por
