CHILE AND ARGENTINA.
Mobilizing a Large Army to De-
eide a Boundary Question.

eide boundary question.
Special cable to The Call and the New York
Herald
BUENos AYREs, Argentina, Sept. Is.
In order to meet any crisis in the
boundary dispute between Argen-
tina and Chile the Government has
ordered that preparations be made
to mobilize an army of $4,000 men.
The Argentine Minister of For
eign Affairs, however, has sent cir
cular to the diplomatic representa-
tives abroad declaring that the
alarming rumors in relation to the
boundary troubles are without
foundation. Argentina does not re-
fuse to arbitrate the general ques-
ton, he declares, but will not con-
sent to the course except in the
manner stipulated by the treaties
now in force. Chile, however, insists
on eliminating the words "Cordillera
de Los Andes" from the first article
of the treaty of 1881.
If this concession should be made
the article would mention only the
famous DIVERT aquarium and would
make it accord with Chilean preten-
sions. This Government, however,
is resolutely opposed to such modi-
fcation.
The attitude Of the people is re-
markable for its composure. There
is no hostile manifestation of any
kind against Chile The Minister
of Foreign Affairs, replying to inter
pellation in the Chamber of Depu-
ties, announced that he hopes for a
pacific settlement of the trouble
He asked the chamber to maintain
it's reserve during the delicate nego-
tiations. The Minister Of War de-
clared that the country was pre-
pared for any emergency.

DEATH BY DROWNING.
Police Making a Thorough Investi-
cation

SatlOn
Yesterday afternoon Capt. Thomp-
son of the Mikahala saw body
floating between his steamer and the
Fort-street wharf. The body was
recovered and proved to be that Of
one Xxi Ringer, a young half-white
who was an employee on board the
Mikahala. The body was bruised in
several places and there was a cut
above the right eye.
The police we're notified and the
body removed to the Police Station,
where Coroner Chillingworth swore
in jury to inspect the body, which
later on was delivered to the bro
Their OF the deceased, who had the
remains conveyed to Ed. A. Williams
undertaking establishment, from
which the burial took place.
A Coroner's inquest was called
this morning and adjourned sine die
to await the results Of the investi.
cations now being made by the po-
lice. There are rumors Of foul play,
and there are those who believe that
the bruises and cut on the deceased
we're inflicted by some assailant.
Xxi was about u years OF age.
He was seen on Sunday night in a
rather intoxicated condition a Il his
whereabouts have been traced 10 a
gambling den.
The theory is, however, that he
fell overheard, and in the fall re-
ceived the injuries o his body and
was drowned.
