by Arbitration.

The Boundary Dispute to Be Settled
by Arbitration.
Washington, Feb. 2S.-In diplomatic cir
Giles it is said that the reports that war is
imminent between Chile and the Argentine
Republic are not well founded, and that
on the contrary arbitration by the British
government has been agreed upon as a
means of settling their differences.
The boundary delimitation has been a
source of serious difference for some years
and this has caused much popular agita-
ton and talk of war. Some time ago,
however, the countries agreed 10 submit
the entire boundary question TO the decis-
ion of Great Britain. The assent of the
British government was secured, and the
arbitration is now in the course of execu-
ton.
Notwithstanding this agreement it IL
said that a considerable lingo element ex-
lists in both countries but at the lega-
tons of both Chile and Argentine there
is no seriousness attached to the war
rumOrs.
