MAY COMBINE
AGAINST THE
UNITED STATES
Possible Action of Various
Republics of Central and
South America.
OFFICIALS ALARMED
Feeling of Distrust Existing on the
Part of the Latin Americans
Has Been Strengthened.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1.-THE rumor or
possible combinations among the States
of Central and South America directed
against the United States are received
with some concern by the officials here.
Nearly a year ago this spirit of diStrust
on the part of the Latin-American people
was first exhibited in the semi-official dis
cussion by the press of the United States
of Colombia of a proposition to combine
the nations of South and Central America.
In that case the ostensible purpose was
to resist unjust demands for indemnities
by foreign states. But incidentally during
the discussion it appeared that the scope
of the combination would be broader than
this, and there was more than one init
nation of a deep-seated distrust Of the
United States
Two or three events have occurred since
that discussion to strengthen this feeling.
First there was a decision averse TO Co
lombia in the Cerrutf case, and as Presi-
dent Cleveland was the arbitrator that
unpopular decision was charged against
the United States. Then last spring came
the cruise of the United States gunooat
Wilmington up the Amazon and the orr
noco. These voyages We're undertaken
merciaI motives Commander Todd or the
Wilmington found that there were no
charts of these vast rivers and conse-
quently was obliged to take sound1ngs as
he proceeded Incidentally he was en-
abled to make rough running charts OF
the river that may be of value to COM
merce hereafter. His actions were, now
ever, nisinterpreted by some of the na5 a.
tives. though in the end Captain lego tla
is believed to have perfectly satished the
Brazilian officials as to the rectitude OF
his purpose. 1t is said at the department leI
that there is not the slightest foundauon
for the story that secret agents OF eilheF
the State or the Navy department have
been sent into South America, and It's It IS
quite certain that there have never been

BUCKLEY NOT IN
