CHILTS POLICY CHANGED
RELIEF THAT SHE WILL TAKE PART IN
THE FORTHCOMING PAN-AMERI-
CAN CONGRESS.
CANCELLATION AT
tEr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.

Washington May 1T is persistently ru-
rored here that Minister Carlos Vicuna, of the
Chilian republic, has been officially informed
from Santiago that his government has at last
decided TO take part in the forthcoming Pan
American Congress. to he held by invitation Of
President Diaz in the City Of Mexico next Octo-
her. Chill declined to send representatives to
the first Pan-American Congress, which was
held in Washington under the auspices of the
late James G. Blaine nearly a dozen years ago,
and ever since then all the arts Of diplomatic
persuasion have been brought to bear on Chilli
10y the United States and other members Of the
congress 10 induce the only refractory New
World republic 70 join in the second effort TO
form compact for peace and progress among
the various governments Of North, South and
Central America. At the ChiIian Legation to-
day no confirmation OF the reported change in
the attitude OF Chill could be obtained. on the
contrary Secretary Balmaceda said frankly
that he had received no official information on
the subject. Minister Vicuna not accessible.
and Senior Balmaceda said that the minister
probably was no better informed than himself
as 10 the truth Of the rumor that his govern
ment at last was willing to sit in conference
with Peru and others Of its old enemies in South
America.
Chilis objections to the congress were made
known 10 Minister Vicuna several months ago
in a special note Of instructions from Foreign
Minister Urmeneta at Santiago. translation
Of these instructions shows that the Chilian
Government at tine time they were issued viewed
the congress with grave suspicious. While the
Foreign Minister scrupulously avoided mention
ing names. II is apparent from the character of
his remarks that he fears the congress will vote
to give back TO Peru certain territory which
Chilli obtained by war, and also demand that
Chilli give TO Bolivia, Peru's friend. a seaport
the Pacific, thus strengthening Chili's hered-
itary enemy by again making Bolivia a mar
itime power. In order to reveal his apprehen-
sions this point the Chian Foreign Minister
informed his representative in Washington that
Chill opposed 10 the whole tentative pro-
gramme' outlined in the official invitation to
the congress sent out by Director ROCkhill, OF
the Bureau of American Republics, and asked
Minister NiCuna to obtain specific informant tiOn
on several points OF procedure. Whether not
Senior Vicuna has obtained the desired informa-
tion is not known, though the fact that il is
rently reported in we'll Informed circles that
Chilli will take part in the next congress is gen.
orally accepted as indicating that the knowledge
and assurances sought have been secured.

CONSERVATIVES WIN 4 VICTORY.

LIBERALS UNABLE TO wREsr A SEAT FROM

London. Nav THE election in the Monmouth
district renlacn Frederic Rutherford Harris,
who was unseated on April 2 resulted IN Mr..
Lawrence. Conservative. getting 45o4 votes and A.

The Liberals had anticipated that resentment at
the government for the imposition Of the of q
shilling ton on export coal would enable them 10
wrest the seat from the government The fact
that the Conservatives retained this seat though
with reduced majority, may be regarded as a
distinct government victory.
Mr.. Harris. ex-secretary of the British Chartered
South Africa Company, was accused OF corruption
in the Parliamentary campaign. A court con-
vened hear the election charges against him.
This court unseated Mr.. Harris April p the
ground that he had published false statements
against his opponent. Mr.. Harris was formerly

LOOKING FOR NAVAL STATIONS.
THE AZORES. THE GALAPAGOS GROUP AND
CURACOA UNDER CONSIDERATION.

CURACOA UNDER CONSIDERATION.
Washington. MAY THE attention Of lead
ing American naval officials has been directed
recently TO the advantages possessed by some Of
the islands Of the Azores group. in the Atlantic.
and of the Galapagos group. the Pacific. as
sites for coaling stations and naval rendezvous.
and they are urging that steps be taken by this
government to acquire rights from Portugal
for a station in the Azores and from Ecuador
for a like station in the Galapagos group. The
latter group is only short distance from the
estern terminus of the Panama Canal. while
the Azores are midway station in the Atlantic,
somewhat like the British station in Bermuda.
The Dutch island of Curacao, of the coast OF
Venezuela. also is regarded by American naval
officials especially we'll adapted for naval
uses There are intimations that these views
may lead to overtures to the governments IN
terested. There is said to be an additional rea-
son for learning what can be done in the Azores,
as information has reached naval officials that
Germany has shown a desire to secure a lods-
ment there.

TO RATIFY AMENDMENT.
CUB4NS WON OVER TO THE
AMERICAN DEMANDS.
REPORT PRESENTED
RADICALS CHANGE THEIR VIEWS.

Havana. May THE special commission. at
the secret session of the Constitutional Conven-
ton this afternoon. presented an extensive re-
port OF the conferences with President McKin-
ley and Secretary Root. and glowing account
OF the dinners and receptions rendered TO them.
Senior Giberga objected to Incorporating an ac-
count of the social programme in the report.
but the commission insisted upon this point.
In reference to the third clause of the Platt
amendment the report stated that the United
States would not intervene unless Cuba were at
tackled by foreign power or unless there ex-
listed in Cuba condition Of affairs similar 70
that which existed under Spain at the time OF
American intervention.
Regarding coaling stations. the report set forth
that the places so desired by the United States
were Capes Maysi and San Antonio and an
other point commanding the entrance TO the
Gulf of Mexico. These would be definitely de-
termined upon when drawing up the treaty. the
report said. and the object of these stations
would be the maintenance Of the Independence
of Cuba as well as the protection OF the United
States The report also said that the United
States would in way interfere in the local
government.
President Mckinley had. according 10 the re-
port, promised to appoint a commission to meet
a Cuban commission to discuss the economic
question. and to draw I'D a commercial treaty
as soon as the republic established. and
advised the Cubans in the mean time to study
the situation in this respect.
The report announced that Secretary Root had
said that there nothing in the Platt amend
ment to prevent Cuba having diplomatic repre-
sentatives in foreign countries.
The report has evidently made good impress
sion. and only few Radicals will continue TO
oppose the acceptance of the amendment. Sehor
Villuenda in an open letter declaring his inten-
tion to accept the amendncent said he first
thought that If the convention rejected the
amendment the Washington government might
change its policy as he then believed that the
amendment was the work of party. He adds:
I believe that the amendment is the work
of the nation There is use in ob1ecting to
the inevitable. 1t is either annexation or a re-
public with the amendment and I prefer the
latter. The United States Government by in
sisting upon the amendment shows that the
Americans have changed from their policy be-
fore the war. and that they no longer rely upon
the Monroe Doctrine TO protect the interests OF
American republics.
The convention will meet to take definite
tion on Saturday.
