CHILEAN PRESS
REVIVES STORY
OF A KINGDOM
Exploit of French Lawyer
Of 1858 Among the
Araucanians.

SANTIAGO, Chile, Dec. >. - The
story of the dream of q Kingdom IN
South America, that was blasted
when the Chilean sense Of humor
stopped short Of It's realisation, is
being revived by the Santiago press.
1t was brought to mind by q car
toon appearing in the "Diario Ius-
trado," depicting Herbert Gibbs.
president of the British nitrate
pool" fourishing a blade labeled,
THE Sword of Grille"
"orilie, Antoine l." Was the title
adopted by the self-appointed
King Of Araucania and Patagonia"
who donned the ermine and served
notification on the Chilean republi-
can government that Chile had a
monarch for Q neighbor. AT the
same time Chile was given to un-
derstand that the vast territory to
the south no longer remained IN
der the sovereignty OF the repub-
lie, but was going ahead as a full
nedged kingdom.
French Lawyer "King.-
The King was Antoine Tounens,
a lawyer Of Perigord. France, who
landed in the port of Coquimbo.
Northern Chile. in 1858. 1t appears
from the records that exist here
that he migrated for the express
purpose of becoming the ruler of
the Araucanian Indians-the hardi-
est South American tribe, which has
never been subjugated by the Span
ish conquistadores. He arrived at
Coquimbo on August % Gs5s),
where he commenced to learn Span.
ish and collect data concerning the
country (Araucania) that he later
visited" the record reads.
In 1850 Tounens made certain
propositions to the principal and
lesser chiefs of the Araucan mans,
and on November II of that year
proclaimed the foundation of the
constitutional and hereditary
monarchy OF Araucania, with
Prince Orllie-Antoine de Tounens"
as king.
Chile Smiled at Venture.
The proclamation outlined the
form of government, providing for
a cabinet, a crown council, a council
OF state and a legislature.
Chile smiled at the venture. and
refused to take it seriously until
the following year, when the king"
evoked electoral assemblies in four
Southern Chilean cities. That was
too much of a Joke, and Tounens
was arrested. He languished in a
prison at Los Angeles, Chile. until
1863. when fearing that he was
going to be shot," he "abdicated"
in favor of his father. and was per-
mitted to return to France.
Tounens was philosophical. Upon
his return to the land OF his birth
he settled down to the pastime of
most ex-monarchs. and wrote his
memoirs.
