of inability to reach a settlement Of
the boundary question which had
been submitted to King Alfonso of
Spain as arbitrator. His majesty de-
layed the award, intimating the par

Meantime both countries had sent
armies to the frontier. When fight

took the initiative and with Brazil

Offices to assure peace. This was
conditional upon the withdrawal OF
