Belief that an Alliance EXISTS Bettceen
Ecuador and Chill.
A prominent naval officer is reported to
nave said in relation to the fact that a
naval vessel has been ordered to Ecuador:
lyon know the Iroquois has been sent
down to Guayaquil, in Ecuador, to de-
mand from that government the release OF
Prof. Santos. In addition to the general
instructions her captain, Yates Sterling,
received he had sealed orders, which are
only to be opened in case the government
OF Ecuador does notpromptly comply with
the request Of the secretary OF state. OF
couree neither | nor any one else but the
secretary OF the navy knows what those
sealed orders are, but I can easily
imagine.'
What dc you believe them to be?" was
asked.
"Orders to take Santos, il necessary, by
force" was the prompt reply; land there
will be the interesting feature OF this mat
ter. 1t has been rumored among the diplo-
matte representatives OF the South Ameri-
can governments in Washington, and be-
lieved in higher quarters, that Ecuador has
mad an alliance, offensive and defensive,
with Chill, and that the latter power will
promptly interfere il Ecuador is attacked.
Chill is the most powerful OF all the South
American republics. Eight years ago she
calmly 1efed the United States, and her
ranking officer, Admiral Don Patricio
Lynch, informed the American admiral
commanding the South American station
that il any trouble occurred between the
two nations he meant to sail for San Fran
cisco and levy an indemnity on it or shell
the place out OF existence. The last he
could easily have done, for his fleet had the
latest and best pattern OF krupp and Arm
strong guns. The Gillian navy could have
stood three miles beyond the range OF the
best guns we have in any fort about the
Golden Gate and dropped 5o0-pound shells
into the heart OF San Francisco"
