Diplomatic Agencies Show Satisfac tion, Though Official Confir mation Is Withheld. WASHINGTON. Nov. .-Confirmation of the report that the King of England Is to act as arbitrator In the Alsop claim, which has been a vexed subject of controversy between the United States and Chile for more than a quarter of a century, was not given out by the State Department tonight. It was pointed out, however, that the agreement to leave the matter to the British monarch would scarcely have been reached without first sounding the arbiter as to his willingness to serve. This, in Itself, is accepted here as mean ing that King Edward already has an nounced his willingness to decide the con troversy. There is evident satisfaction in diplo matic circles tonight over the outcome of affairs. It is believed a final determina tion of the matter will be reached shortly. CHILEAN'S ARE SATISFIED King Edward Praised for What Is Called "Intervention." VALPARAISO. Chile. Nov. 27. There is general satisfaction here at the prospects of an amicable settlement of the Alsop claim dispute with the United States. This feeling is pronounced among Amer icans here. The press Is inclined to give much credit to Great Britain and today lauds that country for its "intervention," which it thinks proves Its friendship for the disputants. London Calls Report Premature. LONDON, Nov. 27. The latest official information received In London was to the effect that the protocol between the two countries had not been finally agreed upon, and until this was accomplished it is held here that to invite anyone formally to arbitrate the matter would be premature.
