has become convinced that neither In Off

CHILL SEEMS ON
EVE OF TROUBLE
The Situation Has Assumed Serious

lErAssociatcd Pressl.


BUENOS AYRES, Dec. .e1-Via Calves
ton.-it appeared this evening that the
5"Ch;lian Incident as the trouble be-
tween Argentina and Chill is refersd to
here, has unexpectedly assumed q moro
serious aspect.
The Tribana, the official organ OF the
Government, admits .sthat the, ultima
esperaaa question instead of approaching
a. settlement, is becoming Srayer.. and
that the Gillian Government is now i'll
danger Of allowing itself to be Influenced
by group of doctrinaries.
The feeling here is no longer optimistic.
It is asserted that :: If :. Chilli does not
change l1er attitude to-day, a rupture be-
tween the two countries will occur.
After having exhausted the friendly
feeling shown by the Argentine Govern
ment in it's efforts to arrive at an agree
ment with Chill on the question of roads,
Chill has injected new features into the
difficulty; taking the position that the
Argentine Government has abandoned
possession of the dependent territory
The attitude of Chill in refusing the ar
rangement proposed by the Argentine
Government has obliged. that Government
to- recall its minister in Chill : Negotla-
tious are suspended: Despite the delicate
situation, hope is still entertained that
war will be avoided. In the public mani
festations on the streets the energetic
attitude OF the Government is appiaudeu.
