LONDON, Dec. 22.-The Argentine lega-
tion informs THE Sun that 1t has received
the following despatch from Sehor Aloorta.
Minister OF Foreign Affairs:
'BuENos AYREs. Dec. 2I.-An the ef-
forts OF the Argentine Government to ar
rive at an underst and'ng in the diplomatic
representations made by the Chilean Govern
nlent since the beginning Of the year have
proved fruitless Notwithstanding that every
leans was exhausted to secure decorous
solution for both Governments. The Ar
gontine Government in consequence has
decided TO suspend negotiations thereto
and refer the matter to his Britannia
Majesty's Government and the arbitrator
appointed In 1903. This decision does
not mean any alteration in the existing
state Of peace with Chile. ALcoRTA,'
The Secretary Of the legation explains
that the entire dispute has been referred
TO Great Britain, but that Argentina's action
does not entail a rupture Of diplomatic
relations with Chile.
4 despatch TO the Central News from
Rome states that the Corriere Della Serd
has received telegram from Buenos Ayres,
saying that Chile has rejected the Argentine
note, and that diplomatic relations between
the two countries have been broken of.
The Valparaiso correspondent OF the
Times says there is a growing impression
that Argentina will continue her insolert
demands to a / olnt from which il will be
difficult to recede without a rupture. Meet
ings and other Incidents indicate that the
self restraint of the Chileans. which has
hitherto been remarkable, may soon be
exhausted. leading to the further calling
out of Chilean reserves.
The Times editorially declares that a
word from the United States or even a
strong intimation Of the opinion of the
people of the United States or their Gov
eminent, which would assuredly have
the strongest support officially and un-
officially in London. would almost GER
tainly ensure a peaceful arrangement
between Chile and Argentina.
