Correspondence of the Associated Frvsw.
Valparaiso, Uhiil. Aug. I—A threa
elded conflict Is In prospect on account >f
tha Tncim-Arlco question, which has rs
mntried In abeyance since the treaty of
Anton, whh h terminated In 1884. the vic
torious war of Chill, against Feru snd
Bolivia.
It wa# agree.) then that the victor wa*
to oocupy the Peruvian province* of
Taenw and Arlca for ten years, after which
a plebiscite wa* to .lecture whether those
provinces wonted to be Incorpuralcd with
Chill, or returned lo Peru. The data
passed off, however, wrttboul any action
being taken. The Chilians put 11 off un
der this or that preteat. It Is asserted
that they sent their soldier* and *ll kind#
of people from the slums of Chilian ecu -
lefts. Hu: Peru held that only legiti
mate native* of the two province* should
be entitled to vote at the plebiscite and
lhal the method of voting and he quail
float lone of the voter# should be deter
mined by a special protocol as provided for
In the Anton trenly.
C’hllt at last lon rented to this tn 1888
ala time when *h anticipated a war with
ths Argentine republic und feared Peru
might sale with the latter. The Bitting
hursl-I-a Torru protocol was then signed
at ftanttago and approved by the Chilian
Senate. But Chill peacefully arranged her
dispute with Argentine, and her chamlwr
of deputise did not even .11 -cue# the proto
col wHlsh, being appro, cd only by the
Demur, remained ad. i.l teller.
The question of the final ownership of
Tecna and Arlca lias thus remained un
settled. and •‘hill still retains Ihe prov
inces with Ihe Intention, according to
Chilian papers, of keeping them forever.
Feru makes an appeal for arbitration In
order to settle praiefuiiy the question of
Ihs final ownership of these provinces.
And here route* the point where the Uni
te.) Mates and the Argentina republto
are dragged Into Ihe dispute.
No wonder that, amid this mass of con
flict* Ihe governments are making pre
paratlon# for war. While Chill haa sent
to Germ.inf her favorite general. Knr
ner, to buy guns and cannon. Peru has
dispatched on a similar errand her for
mer president. Gen. Caceres. and tha
Argentine Republic la a): tiling Its national
guard. In addition there Is about to he
Dietllturd In i hill compulsory military
sarvlce and the regrettable system of
armed peace may be Inflicted upon tha
republic* of Mouth America as a result
of the fart that Chill holds oyer them a
sword of Damocles through her unwilling
ness to settle Anally the old question of
Tama and Arlca.
