vov york. July i3.-There is no long
any uneasiness in Washington o'n-
'n c,rcles says o Tribune dispaich'
no, the forthcoming Pan-Americoh
anuess. which is to meet In the CITY
- Mexico next october with repre-
.,ation of all the American states
No and little, Whatever doubt may
says existed because OF the dispute be-
.ueon Chilli and Peru on the question
n arbitration is dissolved by state
,nsnt lust made at the bureau OF Ameri-
~, republlcs TO the effect that Secy'
uov has received assurances that every
ooyernment in the western hemisphere
has accepted in good faith the invita-
lion Of President Diaz Of Mexico to take
mart in the congress. This assurance
/, is further said, came to Secy HAY
q, response to Geographic Inquire sent
nv him several weeks ago TO the uhteu
states minister accredited TO each La
tin.Amercan country,
Every reply received By him declared
in The most positive terms that the IN
CITATION of President Dia2 had been ac-
csntsd and the preparations for repre-
ssnlatlon al the congress were wen ad-
vanced. Ii is expected that within TWO
or three weeks the names Of all the rep
,ssantatives designated by the proper
anthorjtles of the various nations VIII
bs on file in the bureau Of American
rsnubllcs. This indicates that Chili
never fully intended to hold aloof from
This congress as she did from the hfst
one held in Washington ten years ago
and also that Peru and her ally BOLIVIA,
In the Tacna and africa affair were only
threatening TO reject the invitation un-
less The congress was pledged In ad-
vance 10 keep up the international dis
putes Of long standing.
Little Importance Is attached IN
Washington now TO the recent hurried
departure of the Bolivian minister from
Washington to Caracas, Venezuela. AL
though IL was explained at the time
that he is accredited by his government
both TO the United States and Venezu-
ela and that his visit TO the latter
country was IN the line of his Official
duties, the allegation was made from
various parts OF South America that he
had gone to Caracas to engender dis
satisfaction relative 20 the congress and
TO persuade Venezuela to join Peru,
bolivia and Ecuador While no denial
of this rumor has yet come from the
minister ii is strongly believed In well
Informed circles In Washington, new
ertheless, that the replies received by
Secy. Hay stamp the story as unworthy
Of CredenCe.
The official tentative program for the
congress which has finally been agreed
upon by the executive committee OF the
bureau OF American republics is now
made public for the first time. 1t
shows that only four general subjects
win be especially urged on the congress
for consideration. They are.
First arbitration
Second, International court Of claims.
Third measures for the protection VI
industry agriculture and commerce.
Development Of the means of commune
cation between the countries composing
the union. Consular port and customs
regulations, statistics.
Fourth, reorganization Of the inter
national bureau of American republics
by the terms OF this program II Is left
optional with the congress as TO wheth-
er It's action on the subject OF arbtra-
ton shall be retroactive as demanded
by Peru and Bolivia or shall be con-
fined strictly to future disputes, as con-
tended for by Chill,
