CALL BUREAU, 14O6 G STREET, N.
W., WASHINGTON, Dec. n.-President
Roosevelt has been quoted by Senior Pc
yet, Charge d'Affaires of Peru, in a book
on the Tacna-Arica dispute, which he
has just published, to show the lack of
sympathy felt by the chief executive for
the aggressive policy adopted by Chile to-
ward Peru.
"Will Chile be allowed to wreck the
work that Blaine initiated and of which
Mckinley was a continuator?" asks Pc
yet, "or are we, in the words of President
Roosevelt, to stand shoulder to shoulder
and work out our own salvation, not al
Lowing any territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT on
this continent by any Old World power
and scrupulously regarding rights and in
terests of each other on this continent
so that instead of any one of us commit
ting the criminal fault of trying to rise
at the experre of our neighbors we shall
all strive upward in honest and manly
bl otherhood?
Senior Pezets book is translation of
the work of DIR. Victor M. Mauctua, Con-
sui General of Peru at the City of Mex
leo, to which he has added later observa-
tions so that the history of the Tacna-
africa dispute is brought up to date. The
author stated that during the days he

CHILE Is SEEKING A DELAY
IN THE SETTLEMENT OF THE
CONTROVERSY WITH ARGENTINE
State Affairs Between the Two South American Republics Is
Decidedly Strained and Both Appear to Be Preparing Their
Forces for the War Which Now Seems Be Unavoidable

TN UENOS AYRES, Argentina, Dec.
IL lin official circles there is
II u growing conviction that Chile is
seeking a pretext to escape from
giving a definite reply to Argeh-
tina's proposals for a settlement OF the
dispute in regard to roads and pathways
opened in the disputed territory. This De
lief is based upon the request by Chile for
a postponement of the next conference pc
tween Senior Yanez, Chilean Secretary OF
Foreign Affairs, and the Argentine Min
lister to Chile, Senior Portela. until next
Friday.
1t is generally believed that the dispute
will not be settled on that day; that Ar
gentina will be forced to recall Minister
Portela; that the Government will send
troops to occupy the roads and pathways
in the disputed territory, and that a state
ment will be made to King Edward of

The Government in acceding to the e
quest of Chile that the next conference
between Secretary Yanez and Minister
Portela be delayed until Friday expressed
the hope that settlement of the dispute
would take place on that day. The seri-
BUSINESS of the situation is apparent from
statements made in the Tribuna, Presi-

fleets the opinion in official circles. 1t
says:
Grave Condition Exists.
eThe day has passed with several meet
ings of the officials of the administration.
There is strict secrecy observed regarding
the deliberations in these meetings, and
this leads to the belief that very grave
condition of affairs exists

to-day another communication from tue
Argentina Minister at Santiago. The con-
tents of this communication are being
kent secret, but there are indications That

Government is obliged to adopt the FIRM
est measures
"It looks as though the first measure

gentine Minister to Chile.
.Are we on the verge of war? We hest

that the Government of Chile is not firm
enough to decide the question in accord
ance with reason and dignity.
"This is very bad. The Argentine Gov
ernment cannot adopt the Chilean policy
IF withholding a decision. We will, there
fore be obliged to break off diplomatic
relations with Chile and TO accept the

very far from it.

BROWN AGREED UPON
Oklahoma City Editor to be
Coal Gil Inspector.
Mr.. SMITH FOR DEPUTY
Appointment Expected TO be
Made Soon.

Guthrie. June SIT has been announced
for several days that E. z. Brown Ct
Oklahoma City is to be the territorial coal
oil inspector to succeed Amos Ewing of
Kingasher. The report was generally &C
cepted today and Mr.. Brown has been

While the appointment has not been Of
hciaIly made, It IS understood today that
Governor jenkins viii appoint MT. Brown
10 The position which he desires.
A delegation of Oklahoma county citi-
zens seem to be responsible for the sue
cess of their candidate. This delegation
came here a short time ago and stated TO
Governor jenkins that they desired that
1ir. Brown be appointed and did not care
to ask for anything else in the way of ap-
pointments, but would be satisfied with
the appointment OF Mr.. Brown.
Mr.. Brown is the editor Of the Oklaho-
ma City Times-JourI1al and is a staunch
Republican. He has been active in the
past campaigns. and Governor Jenkins
has realized his worth to the party in the
territory.
1t is understood that Mr.. Brown win
have the appointing of two assistants.
The coal oil inspectorship department is
to be divided into three departments and
Mr. Brown VIII have the appointing OF
the two men
Friends of =. T. Smith Of Cashion are
urging that Brown, If re is appointed by
Governor jenkins, select Mr.. Smith for
the position OF deputy. Mr.. Smith has
been an active candidate for coal oil in
spector and has worked hard for the
place. In view OF the fact that he is a
party worker at ell times his friends
think that ne should have the position. It
IS not yet known what VIII be done for
I'd Korns of Kay county, but It is init
mated that he VIII get a position and may
possibly be slated for one of the coal oil
inspector deputyshiDs. Korns is a close
friend of Governor jenkins and it was
thought that ne would succeed Amos Ew-
Ing in the insuectorship.

OKLAHOMA FOR Blue

ing for His Appointment.
HAVE STARTED PETITION
1t Is Being Signed by Every
body at Guthrie.

Guthrie o. T. June 5.-The old soldiers
Of Oklahoma are anxious TO have Dick
Blue of Kansas made pension commits
sioner. Mr.. Blue is at the present time in
the territory and his charming personal
ity has MADE him many warm frien Is and
these persons are working FOR his ap-
pointment.
A number Of the old soldiers have start
ed out with a petition and are recurring
the signatures OF veterans for the ap-
pointment OF Mr.. B1ue by President Nc
Kinley. The old soldiers do not know
how much influence their petition might
have, but one thing is sure-they DO want
to do all they can for Mr.. Blue. Th= ne
tition has been signed many times today
as well as yesterday, and the circulatCrs
are not missing any of the veterans Of
the civil war in their effort to get up a
large list.
Mr.. Blue has stated that the announce
ment in the press that he had withdraw.
from the race was a mistake and it has
given an impetus TO the efforts of his
Oklahoma friends to have him appointed.
Many Of the old soldiers came from Kan
sas and knew Of Mr.. Blue in that state,
and that has something to do with their
efforts to have him appointed.
