Chile Willing to Arbitrate
AIsop Claim.
OFFICIALS HERE PLEASED
American Note Regarded at Santiago
Is an Ultimatum.
YELLOW PRESS THERE AROUSED
Reported Action Of Chilean Govern
ment Smooths Way to Friendly
Adjustment Of the Dispute.

SANTIAGO. Chile. November 19.-The
Chilean government today opened nego-
tiations with Washington with a view
to submitting the Alsop claim Of the
United States against Chile to a sre-
cially constituted court of arbitration at
The Hague.
The American notification to Chile.
which is looked upon here as an ultima
tum. has been seized upon by the sensa-
tional press as a cause for public agi-
tation As result the merchants are
alarmed lest the feeling aroused affect
American imports adversely.
The members OF the American colony
here protest that the manner In which
the United States is proceeding In the
matter is arbitrary and detrimental to
American interests in Chile. They have
communicated with an attorney at Wash
ington and have asked him to use his
influence in accordance with these views.
ofacials Here Gratified.
Although the officials of the State ~
partment have not yet been officially aSr
vised of the reported willingness OF the
Chilean government to submit the Alsop
claim to a specially constituted tribunal
of arbitration at The Hague, they were
very much gratified at the news contain
ed in the press dispatch.
All that this government asked of Chile
in this matter was that II either agree
to pay a reasonable amount in settlement
OF the claim or to submit IL to The Hague
tribunal for arbitration. Consequently the
reported action OF the Chilean government
In accepting the alternate proposition OF
the United States smooths the way to an
amicable adjustment OF the dispute.
Repudiated by Chile.
1t develops that only a week or ten
days ago Minister Dawson entered into an
agreement with the Chilean foreign office
as to the form OF a protocol which was
to be the basis OF a settlement OF
the Alsop claim. The Chilean govern
ment. however, refused to comply with
the conditions agreed upon, and. it is
stated, repudiated the agreement.
The State Department holds to the po-
sition that where a foreign government
reverses and repudiates the instrument
tally through which foreign governments
may conduct business with that country
1t is useless to maintain relations with
that country.
