Bolivia, and Don Felix Fras. decided
enemy of Chile. had been elected president
of Congress, where the proposed treaty regarding
the arrangement of the vexed Pstagonian question
had to be determined. Some of the Euenos Ayres
journals state that large majority in the Legsla-
ture can be counted upon antagonstic to the rat
fcation of the treaty and that the present moment
is considered most opportuue for the Republic to
insist upon recognition of its .preensons TO the
disputed territory We have intelligence that Chile
has despatched engineers to Punta Arenas in the
Straits of Magellan to erect fortifcations to be
armed with heavy ordnance. This looks as though
complications feared with the Argentine
