WASHINGTON, June 15—Failur
apparently is about to bring to swift|
termination the efferots of Washing
ton to scttle the Chilean-Peruvian
controvery over the two little Pacific
Seaboard provinces, Tacna and Arica
A slight hope of avoiding com
plete collapse of negotiations was
still in the minds of officials here to
day and President Coolidge contin.l
ued ready to take whatever steps
he might find practicable, now or in
the future, to bring the two South
American nations into accord, but
swift developments of the last twen
ty four hours are generally conced
ed to have dealt a severe blow to
any prospect of settlement.
Order To Break Off
SANTIAGO, Chile, June 15—Up
on receipt of news from Arica of the
adoption of the motion declaring the
piebiscite impossible of solution in
the Tacna-Arica controversy, the
Chilean government is understood to
have sent instructions to its ambassa
dor at Washington to break off nego
tiations for direct settlement which
have been going on under the good
offices of the United States.
. Ambassador May Leave
WASHINGTON, June 15—(P)—
“Do not know whether I chall stay
here or not,”” said the Chilean am
bassador, when asked today to com
ment on the overnight developments
in the Tacna Arica controversy. Ile
refused to elaborate on this = state

8 Plebiscite Impossible
ARICA, Cbhile, June 15—The
plebiscite to determine the question
of sovereignty in the provinces of
Tacna and Arica, claimed by Chile
and Peru was declared impossible in
a resolution adopted by the commis
sion which charged that Chile ha=
placed hindrances in jthe way of a
free and honest vote. Thus failure
threatens the meditation efforts.
