they were seized by England, and In a
proclamation, declared that though Argen-
tina was unable to resist the powerful
force OF England, it continued to firmly
adhere TO its claim to the rightrul ownership
OF the territory.
Under these circumstances Argentina,
on the l 9th instant, informed the t7at,le
company that it considered the proposed
landing place at Trinidad as illegal aud
that 1t could not recognize any Illegal per-
init TO use the Falkland Islands tunse-

fell to the ground.
1t is intimated that a specially accred-
tied minister from Buenos Ayres will soon
come to the United States TO enGeayor to
reopen the dispute as to The ownership OF
the Falkland Islands, in view of the stand
taken by President Cleveland on the Ven
ezGelan boundary dispute President Cleye-
hnd, IN his first annual message To- Con-
gress iu 1885, referring to this question,
said:
FALKLAND ISLANDS QUESTION.
The Argentine government has revived
the long dormant question OF the Falkland
Islands by claiming from the United States
indemnity for their loss, attributed 20 the
action OF The commander of the slocp
of war Lexington in breaking up a pratt
cal culouy on those islands IN 1881, and
their subsequent occupation by Great Brit
ian. In view of the ample justification
for the act OF the Lexington, and the dere-
lict condition OF tie islands before and
after their alleged occupation by Argen-
tine cplonists, this government considers
the claim as wholly grOuudleSs."
Friends OF the Argentine government,
however, claim that this referred wholly
10 claims which the Argentine authorities
were then pressing against this country.
and, as these have now been definitely
abandoned for amicable reasons, they be-
lieye that the United States will not dis
regard the proof of ownership which cat
now be presented as they are similar in
all prospects TO those OF Bra zil a nd Venezuela,
which have been espoused by Secretary
Olney.
