GOVERNMENT IS CONCERNED.
Is Taking Some stock In Rumors of
South American CoEnbIne


WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The runors
of possible combinations among thu
states of Central and South America,
directed against the United States. are
received with some concern by the Of
fieials here Nearly a year ago this
spirit of distrust on the part of the
Latin-American people was first exhib-
tied in the semi-offlcial discussion by
the press of the United States of CoIonl-
bia of a proposed combine by the ma
tiGns of South and Central America In
that case the ostensble purpose was to
resist unjust demands for indemnities by
foreign states. But incidentally during
the discussion 1t appeared that the scope
Of the combination would be broader
than this, and there was more than one
intimation of a deep-seated dIstrust on
the part of the United States Two or
three events have occurred since that
discussion to strengthen this feeling.
First there was g. decision adverse TO
Colombia in the Cerruti case. and as
President Cleveland was the arbitrator
that unpopular decision was charged
against the United States, Thsn last
spring came the cruise of the United
States gunboat Wilmington I'D the
Amazon and Orinoco. These voyages
were undertaken from the most limo,
cent scientific and commercial motives.
Commander Todd, of the Wilmington.
found that there were no charts OF thesa
vast rivers and consequently was obliged
to take soundings as he proceeded In
eidentally, he was enabled to mako
rough running charts of the rivers that
may be of value hereafter His ac.
lions were, however misinterpreted by
some of the natives, though in the end
capt. Todd is believed to have perfect
ly satisfied the Brazilian officials as to
the rectitude of his purpose. 1t is said
at the department that there is not the
slightest foundation for the. story that
secret agents of either the state or navy
departments have been sent into South
America, and it is quite certain that
there have never been any negotiations
with Bolivia respecting the acquisition
by the United States of lands In the In
terror of South America AS for the
visit to that continent of William B.
