ULTIMArU NJ TOCHlLl
ON OLD ALSOP CLAIM.
Mast Pay or Arbitrate, Says
Minister Ddzpson.
Iron Ia rrlbune Rureau. !


Washington. Oct. 27.-Through the efforts
of Thomas c. Dawson. Minister to Chill.
there is good prospect that the famous
Alsop claim against the Chilian govern
ment, which has beer a subject of negotia.
tons for more than twenty years. will be
satisfactorily settled. Mr.. Dawson, who
was recently appointed chief of the Divi-
sion of Latin-American Affairs in the State
Department, delayed his departure from
Chill in order TO give his attention to the
negotiations, which are being firmly pressed
by this government. He has delivered what
amounts TO an ultimatum to the Chilian
government, which is in effect that the
claim must be paid in full within a short
time or submitted to the Hague tribunal
for arbitration.
The claim is in behalf of the Alsop Com
pany. of New York and Connecticut, and,
with accumulated interest, Il amounts 10
upward of S1,500.OOO 1t had its origin in
the advance of money by the Alsop Com
pany to the Bolivian government in ex-
change for rights to valuable guano de-
posits. This transaction occurred about
1874 Besides conveying the guano rights
the Bolivian government contracted to set
tie the debt by the payment of customs re-
ceipts at the port Of africa, and by grant
Ing certain long term leases on many valu-
able silver mines. Before these arrange
ments could be carried out the war between
Bolivia, Peru and Chilli was declared. The
close of the war saw Chill in permanent
possession of the section of Bolivia around
africa, and this. together with changes in
the mining laws, rendered the contract be-
tween Bolivia and the company impossible
OF fultilment.
On representations by the American gov
ernment, and after due consultation with
the Bolivian officials, Chill agreed to pay
the claim. This agreement was reached Ill
1885, but no payment has yet been made.
From 1885 until 1890 the Chilian government
profeSSed to be in such sore financial straits
that the United States forbore to press the
claim. In 1885, however, further represen-
tations were made by American diplomats.
Payment has been delayed on various pre-
texts although the Chilian government has
for some years been in a hourish.ug condt-
ton. Several compromises have been Sug-
gested, but the State Department insists on
a full settlement. The American Chilian
Claims Commission took up the case, but
dismissed it for want of jurisdiction, al
though the verdict of that body was scarce
" considered necessary, in view of the
fact that both the Chilian and Bolivian
governments have never denied the justice
of the claim.
No successor to Minister Dawson has
been designated. and no one is being con-
sidered for that post. Should Chilli still
further delay a settlement of this claim it
might not be convenient for this govern
ment to send minister to Santiago. in
which event American affairs would be
conducted by a secretary of legation or
other subordinate
