SATISFACTORY ARRANGEMENT.

LONDON. June l5--The United States
ambassador here, Joseph H. Choate has
just received from the foreign Office a
communication on the Alaska question
which, ii is understood. is a satisfactory
temporary arrangement Of the a.sair.
The officials Of the foreign Office,
while unwilling to discuss the details.
assure the Associated Press that the
Alaska difficulties are practically
smoo,hed over until the meeting of the
high commission in August.
NEW YORK. June IA special to

While hopeful that modus vivendi

visional Alaskan boundary will be set.
tied upon the lines laid down by Am.
bassador Choatc. there seems to be some
apprehension in official circles that the
London government will demand fur
ther concessions. SO far as the boundary
itself is concerned, the two governments
are near enough to make it apparent
that there will be no hitch as to the
location Of the line. There seems to be
a disposition to believe. in view Of Can
ada's failure to secure port on the
Pacific for her great Northwest terri
tory. that she will require Great Britain
TO request Of the United States that all
goods imported into the Dominion froll
the Alaskan coast be permitted to come
in free of duty, and that a certain zone
he set aside through which the goods
should pass without hindrance. This
proposition has not yet been submitted.
but it is said that if brought to
the attention of this government
il will be Immediately rejected.
whether the concession desired be
either temporary or permanent. Dalton
Trail still seems to be the only point
under discussion. and it is stated with
positiveness that the line will be placed
lust to the north of the village OF klu-
kwan, and will include it. This Will
deprive the Canadians Of the port they
are so anxious to obtain.
If the modus is agreed upon as pro-
posed by this government the anthorl-
ties will look upon it rs distinct ad-
vantage. for although the instrument
is temporary, an arbitration tribunal to
which the dispute may be referred for
settlement. will undoubtedly regard
Great Britain's willingness to accept
the provisional line as an evidence that
her claims beyond are unfounded.
Should the matter come before the
Joint high commission. as seems prop
able. and the commissioners fail to
reach an agreement, it would not oe
surprising if q proposition was ad-
vanced to make the temporary boundary
permanent. The decision on this point
will undoubtedly be influenced by the
effect upon the country of the tempor-
Org arrnnvplnpnt.

NEW YORK, April 29.-The Herald
Washington correspondent sends the
following: At the instance Of Secre-
tary of State Hay, the Navy Depart
ment has referred to commanding off1-
GERS of American warships in southern
waters for their information the COM
munication received from an American
in Honduras, showing the petty perse-
cution to which he and his country
men in that land are subjected by Hon
duran officials.
The letter has aroused great indigna-
ton in official and naval circles and
officers of the navy acquainted with the
facts say the Government should at
once send a naval force TO Honduras
which would compel the Government
to recognize and respect the rights Of
American citizens. The murder of
Frank Pears in February is cited by
officials with whom 1 talked as an in
stance of the outrageous conduct Of the
Honduran Government, one of whose
soldiers committed the murder and was
then permitted to flee into the interior
to escape the demand il was expected
this Government would make for his
punishment.
