Despite the strong opposition by
Seniors Carlos, Walker and Martinez,
ultra cieriuals ana conservative leaders,
the Bdlmacedist- Conservative alliance
has been Effected. This may lead to
changes in the cabinet later.
1t is stated that congress will not

The press has started another heated
discussion as to the ownership of Puma

Puma and Atacama are owned by Ar

this question, many newspapers main
tanning that they never belonged to
Chile, others claiming that they have
since Bolivia ceded them. This may
be subject of bitter discord between
Chill and Argentina.
