mcnt for south American Ani-


ance.
Nehant, Mass. Aug. MARTIN Car
cha Merou, minister of Argentina repub-5
b lie to the United States, was inter-
viewed by representative of the AS
ISOLATED Press concerning the recent
news dispatches bearing upon the jour
ney just undertaken by Gen. Roca,
president Of the Argentina republic, to
the capital of the United States of Bra
zil, whichshas given occasion for rumors
of an alleged alliance between the ma
tons of the southern extremity of the
continent against the United States.
Senior Merou said:
The Invention is so absurd that find
it somewhat hard to trouble you with
the request that you publish COM
plete denial of it. The visit of Gen. Roca
is a friendly and cordial compliment
paid to nation with which we have
most pleasant political and commercial.
relations. For many years we have had
a boundary controversy with Brazil, in
herited from the colonial times of the
respective countries, which was SUBJ
mitted to the arbitration of President
Cleveland. With this cause of possible
misunderstanding among our peoples
removed, and finding at the head of the
Brazilian government statesman of
the high attainments of President Cam
pc Sales, Gen. Roca undoubtedly has
thought it wise and convenient to close
the links which unite the two largest
and most Important republics of South
America by this visit.
I'm reference to the United States
can assure you the relations with this
IT,, T.
cordial than at present. The fact that
your minister in Buenos Ayres. Mr.. Bu-
chanan, who very soon will return to
your shores and will. no doubt ratify
my statement, was selected as umpire
in an important question pending with
Chill. is eloquent proof of our senti-
ments in regard to this country.
In his recent annual message to the
chambers President Roca paid a great
compliment to the United States gov
eminent. and Its worthy representa-
tives. and our congress just at present
has under consideration bill appropri-
ating the necessary funds to pay the
travelling expenses and maintenance of
fifty Argentine young men who will
come to the United States to follow the
courses of some of your agricultural
and mechanical colleges. President
Roca. whose character and statesman
like ability has made him one of the
most distinguished public men In our
continent, whom know with intimacy
having been for q time his private sec
rotary, is a great admirer of the United
States. He follows with the deepest
sympathy the wonderful development
of the American people in all their
paths of human activity.
"Of course. 1 have not the right to
speak on behalf of Chilli and Brazil, but
know both countries, especially the
second, having represented my country
there before being appointed minister
to the United States. Besides, have the
honor to enjoy the personal friendship
| of President Campo Sales, who par
| takes with President Roca the most
cordial feelings toward the United
States.
I'm fact. all this talk about alliances
| in South American against this country,
| is false and completely misleading. II
is true that, happily. there is grow
| ing sentiment of solidarity between the
republics of Chill, Brazil and Argentina,
but this feeling has nothing to do with
our mutual excellent relations with the
United States, but tends only to pro-
| mote a better understanding among our
different peoples, and If possible, closer
commercial relations.
II beg you to deny in most categorical
manner all this idle talk
