Senior Infante, the Chilean Charge
d Aflaires in this city, is confident the
differences between his country and the
Argentine Republic will be settled without
recourse to hostiiities. He says that the
fact that the Argentine Minister on Ieav-
ing Santiago, the capital of Chile, placed
the Secretary Of Legation in charge shows
that there has yet been no rupture Of
diplomatic relations between the two
countries.
The senior does not doubt that the sit

he emphaticalIy declares that Chile has
never desired war. but has from the first
earnestly eRdeayored to reach direct So
luton OF the differences with the Ar
gentine republic.
Denial of a Report.
It has been said that Chile wanted to
settle the question only on the basis of
the acceptance Of her own proposition.
This is not true, Senior Infante declared
Chile and Argentina have exchanged
views and propositions, and Chile has
been trying all the time to procure q
peaceful solution by giving satisfactory
explanations on the question of the neees-
sity for the surveying commissions, but
maintaining her rights in the question OF
Ia ultima esperanza-
Not Seeking War.
1t is not Chile, Senior Infante insisted,
that has been opposing arbitration, nor is
she the one that has tried 10 bring the
direct negotiations to an end. He was
sure that war would not come because he
was confident that Chile would do all in
her power to avoid it. not only because
OF the interruption that hostilities would
cause to her commercial development and
general progress. but because Of the rup-
ture that would occur in the harmonious
relations which are necessary for the
common welfare OF both countries and the
prestige Of the continent He vas sure
his country WOULD not be the one to apply
for violent solutions Of the trouble.
