inimical to the best interests Of

IT HE long WranRle that arose

Credit the pitcher who is re

An instance of the work of this division

in 1879. 1t arose through the advance
ment of certain money to Bolivia by
American capitalists. the security being

mines in the Litoral province of Bolivia.
Four years later Chile and Bolivia went
to war, and Chile conquered that stretch
Of country in which the mines were To-
Gated In 1904 Chile entered into treaty
with Bolivia, promising to pay certain
debts. of which the Alsop claim was one
but the sum offered in payment was en-
tirely unsatisfactory. and was therefore
declined. The United States continued to
press the claim, and Chile was summoned
to pay a million dollars, or submit the
claim to arbitration. Americans living in
Chile. fearing a boycott should Chile be
forced to pay. wrote to the department
asking that the matter be dropped. The
