UNDOUBTEDLY A LIE.
Ehe London Times Sensational Stor
About the United States.

About the United States.
LONDON, April 1.-The Times cor
respondent at Buenos Ayers telegraphs
As follows:
An indiscreet notice in the press, the
origin of which has been traced to one
Of the ministers, stated that Admiral
Walker was the bearer Of happy pro-
posals, which insured the settlement Of
questions between the Argentine Re-
public and the United States. This was
supported by subsequent post-prandial
speeches of the American minister, the
secretary of legation and the American
officers hero. Official denial led to a
close investigation.
AS result have come to the con-
clusion that the Argentine declaration
that reciprocity with the United States
has been declined was only half the
truth. AT first the Argentine govern
ment declined to hold their warships at
the disposal of the United States. but
the government has now accepted, In
principle, Admiral Walkers generous
offer of United States protection in case
the Argentine Republic becomes in
volved in boundary questions with
Chill and Brazil, and Of protection
against foreign interference II the Ar
gentine Republic attempts to cancel her
European obligations.
Brazil desiring to rescind the reci-
procity treaty which was obtained, as
the Brazilians declare, under promises
which have not been fulfilled, has now
been thrown over by the United States.
Chilli might perhaps be attacked
through the Argentine Republic, while
funds will be advanced to Peru to en-
able her to pay Chill the Tacna-Arica
indemnity, the consideration for this be-
ing the excellent and easily defensible
port of Chimbote, which is to be
held ready as United States naval sta
ton.
This is part Of Secretary Blaine's am
bilious program to destroy European
influence in the south Atlantic and Pa
cific, in order to secure good card for
the presidential election. The present
noribund Argentine government does
not represent the feeling Of the most
valuable class Of public opinion III that
It has accepted serni-protectorate from
.lle United States. The government,
however, insists that ii gives absolutely
nothing, and accepts only what binds
he United States, aud not Argentina.
II is alleged that Admiral Walker has
ilso been negotiating with Uruguay.

LONDON, April 1.-The Times con-
tains an article reviewing the Behring
sea dispute. The writer SAYS: "These
colonies are always embroiling us in
foreign disputes. We are obliged to
fight their battles, whilst they treat us
as foreign power. How long is this to
last? A few more troubles like the
Behring sea controversy will compel us
to face the problem and seriously ask
ourselves whether the present relations
between the mother country and the
colonies are quite fair to the British tax
nayer."

American News.
LONDON, April ia dispatch from
Buenos Ayres says that the supporters
of Saenz Pena for the presidency, are
carrying things with high hand. They
have behind them the influence of the
government, and of the British mercan-
tile colony. There isa strong elementin
Argentina hostile to the Pena movement
and in favor of keeping the republic
aloof from European complications and
influences. Pena is known to be decid-
edly in harmony with the European ele-
ment, and not in favor of any commer-
cial arrangements that would bring Ar
gentina into closer connection with the
United States.
This sentiment is also shared by the
present administration in Argentina,
and the military and civil authorities
are being used to crush out the popular
agitation in behalf of the rule that
would represent the native Argentine
sentiment. The anti-Pena agitators are
denounced as outlaws and their meet
ings broken up by violence, and num-
Der of arrests have been made of promi-
nent persons suspected of anti-Pena
sympathies. In this way the party in
power hopes to bring about an appear
ance of unanimity in behalf Of Pena.
1t is said that but for the visit of
Admiral Walker and his squadron, the
European element would have given
open expression to their hostility to
American influence. The American
colony was greatly encouraged by the
presence of the United States war yes

ment of tL9 insolence previously dis
played in certain quarters toward Amer
