CHILL, COLOMBIA AND ECUADOR
Small Importance Attached to Their
Secret Treaties,

New York. Oct. 23.--Concernng the
secret treaties between Chill Colombia
and Ecuador, FL Murcurio quotes the
minister of foreign affairs as saying the
government attaches no importance TO
their publication. cables the Santiago,
Chill correspondent Of the Herald. The
real meaning OF these agreements ac-
cording TO the dispatch can only be UNI
derstood as a result Of the dangerous
diplomatic position in which Chill was
placed In the last months Of 1901 and
at the beginning Of 1902
Chill was then anxious to strengthen
her friendship with some OF the South
American republics in order 10 have
their help in the Pan-American confer
ence in Mexico where Chilean interests
were threatened by her enemies.
Chill thought that war with Ar
eentina was possible and the free pass
age Of the Strait Of Magellan would
have been rendered very difficult,
This government insists on the point
that the arguments were only a result
Of the dangerous position Of Chill and
that the treaties have nthing to do with
the United States In this which Is In
perfect harmony with those Of Chill.
