FCPE EXPRESSED THAT THEY MAY YET
COME TO AN AGREEMENT.

v ashinRton Dec. 29.-Advices received bv Senior
Infante. the Chilian charge to-day, confirmed the
already published that the Argentine Min
lister at Santiago had informed the Chilian Minister
Of Foreign Affairs that Argentina could not accept
all the terms of the protocol heretofore signed for
the settlement Of the dispute. and that some
changes would be necessary in the instrument.
Sehor Infante's informal ton from his government
is that there is no foundation whatever for the
statement that a change made in the protocol
by the Chilian Minister of Foreign Affairs but
that, on the contrary. it was published agreed
upon between the representatives. of the two GOV
ernments The understanding here is that no for
NAL demand has as yet been made upon the Chilian
Government for change in the terms of the proto-
col, but that the matter has simply been one OF
informal talk at Santiago This being the case the
hope is expressed that satisfactory arrangement
may yet be reached.
Sehor Infante continues to his firm
yiction that there will be war because of the
present misunderstanding The government of
