NersaI of the Action of Secretary
Long aud the DisapprOvuI OF the
Majority Judgment of the Court ot

Opportunity to Present His Case,

Into Many Things of which He
Was Ignorant.
Washing ton. Jan. THE object of

tunity to present the case from his
standpoint and to acquaint the Presi-
dent with many details of which the
latter could not have had any knowl-
edge. While Admiral Schley would not

tant bearing upon the controversy.

ton having been determined upon,

ing such that the nature of the pro-
posed appeal cannot be revealed except
by the President after the formal doc
uments have been filed with him.

A CRISIS AT MEXICO CITY.
Either ChiIeans or Arbitration Adj
vOcRtes Likely 10 Quit.

Mexico City, Jan. THE arbitra-
ton situation has reached a crisis
among the delegations of the Pan
American conference. To-day the
Central and South Americans, opposed
to the Chileans. had frequent meetings
to decide on the form of procedure
under which they will Introduce the
arbitration plan into the conference.
If they cannot find a form acceptable
TO the other delegations they will prob
ably withdraw. The Chileans, also
say that in whatever form the compul
sorry arbitration plan is reported to the
conference they will quit.
Position of the ChiIeans.
But the situation is improved, yet it
still remains probable that If the Chill
cans are as good as their word. they
will withdraw from the conference.
The Chpeans have presented to the
officials of the conference, a memoran-
dunn, stating that in whatever form
the compulsory plan is presented to
the conference they will withdraw. In
making this statement the delegates
of Chileans recall the conditions under
which Chile accepted the invitation to
the conference, viz:
That If any attempt were made to
introduce into the conference, VeXatious
questions for the purpose of covertly
or openly antagonzing Chile, the dele
gates of that country would be with
drawn. The object that the Mexican
delegates and w. L. Buchanan, the
American member of the Arbitration
Committee, have been pursuing during
recent negotiations. has been to find
a method by which the compulsory
plan might be introduced in such
manner as to satisfy it's advocates and
at the same time to avoid the separa-
ton of the Chileans. Now that the
latter say that in whatever form the
plan is introduced they will withdraw.
the friends of the compulsory plan are
all the more insistent to have their
convention introduced into the con-
ference concurrently and on exactly
the same footing as the project by
which allegiance is proposed to The
Hague convention. If they have their
way and the Chileans carry out their
threat then the conference will have
to finish it's labors without the Chill
cans.
