SATISFACTION FELT HERE
OFFICIALS PLEASED AT THE AGREE
MENT IN SOUTH AMERICA,
Minister Wilson Reports That Argen-
tine-Chfle Differences May Be
Regarded as Settled.

The State Department has been informed
by United States Minister Wilson, at San
tiago de Chile, that the differences between
Argentine and Chile may be regarded as
settled through the signature yesterday of
protocol providing for the submission of
the dispute over the boundary line and the
Ultima Esperanza territory to the decision
OF the King of Great Britain. This an
nouncement has given great satisfaction
to the officials here, who have gone to the
lengths Of official practice in their efforts
to avert needless war between the two
most prosperous of the South American re-
publics.
Argentine Minister Notified.
The Argentine minister DR.. Garcia
Merou, today received a dispatch from the
minister Of foreign affairs at Buenos Ayres,
announcing the satisfactory termination of
the Chile-Argentine trouble, and giving the
basis Of settlement. The dispatch is as fol-
lows:
''The pending incidents with Chile have
been solved by agreement directly with
the government Of that country and in a
satisfactory form. Chile gives explanation
Of the opening of roads through the dis
puted territory, and both governments
agree to withdraw the police forces which
they have maintained in the territory in
controversy situated near the inlet of Ulti-
ma EsperanZa.
"(SigneO ALCORTA,
Minister of Foreign Affairs
DR.. Garcia-Merou expressed himself as
highly gratified with the disappearance of
the war cloud, and he pointed out that the
terms Of the sttlement showed that Ar
gentine's earnest desire to maintain peace
led her to make considerable sacrifice. The
Ultima Esperanza territory has been con-
sidered Argentine's beyond any question,
but now both countries withdraw their po-
lice from that locality, so that government
ownership becomes a question for arbitra-
tion. ..
Throughout South American diplomatic
circles there is sense Of relief over the
settlement Of the Chile Argentine trouble.
