AZIL-ARGENTINE
RELATIONS STRAINED

Washington, Dec. 16.-Diplomatic-
Washington, notably the representation
from Latin-America, is watching with
deep concern the outcome Of the differ
ences between the Argentine Republic
and Brazil. whose relations, strained
because of the jealousy over naval arm
aments. are aggravated by the inter
ception by the Argentina authorities OF
an important message sent to its lega-
ton In Santiago.
Only very meager information re-
garding this late incident which seems
to have stirred the feeling in Brazil to
a high pitch has reached Washington
and this is confined to that Of an ur,-
official character. 1t is said that the
dispatch referred to passed over the
Argentina lines on its way to Santiago.
and after being Intercepted was handed
to a man who being unable to decipher
It. deliberately composed one entirely
different In character and containing
q. statement of hostile Intentions
against Argentina. This alleged fabr;-
cation was read before the Argentine
congress in secret session to support
the vote for ornaments. The Brazilian
government when the fact OF the false
text came to its knowledge. sent to Ar
gentina and published in the Brazilian
papers. the false dispatch and the one
actually sent. to prove that the dispatch
Intercepted showed friendliness and not
hostility to Argentine. In order to do
this. the Brazilian government found
1t necessary to publish the key of its Sc
cret correspondence with Its legation in
Santiago. 1t is said that although this
proof was submitted on the 18th of No
ivenlber, no acknowledgment OF the mis-
take has been made by Argentine 10
Brazil.

.CASTELLANE ASSUMES ROLE
OF OUTRAGED PARENT

Paris Dec. 16.-The hearing of the
suit brought by Count Boni de Castel-
lane against the Princes de Sagan. In
which he petitions that the custody OF
his three children be given to his moth
Eer, the Marquise de Castellane. WAS
continued in this city today.
NJ. Ronnett was heard in rejoinder
for the count. He read letter from
the count renounclng the petition for
100000 annually for the maintenance
of the children, but insisting more en-
phatlcally than ever that the children
be contided to the care Of his mother.
The REIMBURSEMENT of the financial
demand came as a surprise in spite OF
the fact that such a course was indi-
Gated at the close Of the first hearing
Of the case.
The letter Of the count is addressed
to NJ. Bennett and it is couched in an
eloquent phraseology of outraged man
hood. 1t begins: Indignant at the per-
f1dious and lying insinuations of the
princess and her family representing
that my only desire is to obtain 6; big
allowance, and | now ask for myself
and mother only, the custody of the
request for an allowance
Continuing, the count calls M. Bon
nett to witness with what outraged
feelings he rejected the pecuniary offers
of the Prince and Princess de Sagan
and Geo. Gould, the princess brother.
THE new and unexpected attitude OF
George Gould" De Castellane writes,
who regards this suit simply as a vul-
gar affair Of money, and who be-
lieves that his golden authority can gild
the marriage Of his sister with tar
nished man, compels me more strongly
than ever to insist on the withdrawal
of the children from the house of which
the prince is the ornament and from
surroundings where they will learn
only one thing-tfat honor is nothing
and money everything, that money
covers every baseness and that 1t will
buy every conscience.
The decision 1 have taken will show
the court the sole purpose which 5ili-
spires me. my parents and my rela-
tives. We are without fortunes. but
upon the question of money we do not
hold the same theories as do the
.Goulds; concerning education of French
youths we have other ideas than those
of the De Sagans, Ny parents will aid
me to bring up these three innocent
victims. p AXE

sLorimer of Chicago, expects that the
report OF engineers who are engaged

ready by Jan. /. AS soon as it is flied
he will introduce his waterway bill.
Mr.. Lori1ner says he is not worrying
over the report that Chairman Burton,
believes no river and l1arbor bill can be
passed until the special session because
of the limited state of the nations
finances.
The question OF finances is the
smallest Of ALL" said Mr.. Lorimer last
night. THE fact that just now the
government is piling up a deficit need
not hamper this project, for there is
little possibility that more than a mil
lion dollars worth of work will be done
during the next year anyway. And
the government will be called upon to
pay only for the completed work. All
we want at this session is a law au-
thorizing the beginning of the WORK"
