Chileans Want War

Santiago, Chile, October 2.-Peru's seiz- ure of German steamers at Callao and the expulsion of Count von Luxburg, the German minister to Argentina from Bue- nos Aires, are agani occupying public attention in Chile. It is believed in government circles here that the presence of Count von I4uxburg in Chile, or in any other South American country would affect the solidarity of the republics in the western hemisphere. Guillermo MacKenna, in an article in the Mercurio, says that if Chile does not sever diplo- matic relations with Germany, it would signify the breaking of the bonds which unite Chile with civilized countries.
