Dangerous Position-Anx

Friendships. -
NEW YORK, Oct. 23,-Concemlng
the secret treaties between Chile. Co
lombia and Ecuador, El Murico quote
the minister of foreign affairs aa say
ing the government attaches no im
portance to their publication, cables
the Santiago, Chile, correspondent or
the Herald. The real meaning of these '
agreements, according to the dispatch,
can only be understood as a result of
the dangerous diplomatic position In
which Chile was placed In the last
month of 1901 and at the beginning of
1902.
Chile waa then anxious to strengthen
her flrh-idshlp with some of the South
American republics In order to have
their help In the Pan-American con
ference In Mexico, where Chilean in
terests were threatened by her enemies.
Chile thought tha a war with Argen
tina was possible, and the free passage
of the Straits of Magellan would have
been rendered very difficult. This,
government Insists on the point that
the agreements were only a result of
the dangerous position of Chile, and
that the treaties have nothing to do
with the United States.

stable currency. We cannot do bust
ness with the states without having
a fixed standard of money. In the old
days silver was generally worth three-
fourths as much as nold and at the
worst two for one. ltit now sllv
and It Is a sliver country, though the
government demands all Us payments
In gold silver is lower yet 32.37 for
every dollar In gold. To secure 100
In (told when I wa leaving for the
states I had R pay something like
950 In silver. The worst of it is that
there is no stability In the ratio. The
commission can make It anything It
sees fit The islands need railroads.
They need more reliable labor, for m
countrymen of the laboring c'asa are
ery uncertain. If they make a few
dollars they don't care to work till it
