Washington. Sept. lil.-Tho rumors
of possible combination nlll0,, V'1'
states of Contra! and South America
direct! against the United Slates aro
rocoiTJd witli Home concern by the ottl
cials hero. Nearly a year ago tins
spirit of distrust on the pan "1
American people was I exhibited in
tho somi-otliuial publication by tlio
United States of Colombia ol apropos
tion to combino the nations of South
and Central America. In that case tho
ostensible puiposo was to resist unjust
demands for indemnities by foruigu
states. But incidentally during the
discussion it appored that tho scope of
the combination would be broader than
this, and there was moro than one in
timation of a doep-ioatod distrust of
tho United States.
Tv6 oi three events liavo occurred
Bine that discussion to strengthen this
feeling. Fiist, thero was a decision
advorso to Colombia in the Corrutl
caso, and na President Clovoland was
tho aibitrator, that unpopular decision
was charged against the United States.
Then last spiliig came tho cruiso of tho
Unttcd States gunboat Wilmington up
tho Amazon and the Orinoco. Tho
voyages wero undertaken from tho most
innocent scientific and commercial mo
tives. Commander Todd, of tho Wil
mington, found that there wore no
charts of these vast livois, and conse
quently was obliged to take soundings
as he proceeded. Incidentally ho wax
enabled to mako rough running charts
of tho rivors that may bo of valuo to
commerce hereafter. His actions wore,
however, misinterpreted by some of
the natives, though in tho end Captain
Todd is bolioved to havo perfectly sal
isfied the Brazilian officials as to thu
rectitude of his purpose.
It ia said at thu dopaitmnnt that
there ia nut tho slightest foundation for
the Btory that secrot agents of either
the state ot the navy department have
been sent into South America, and it
Is quite certain that there have nover
been any negotiations with Bolivia re
specting tho acquisition by the United
States of lauds in the interior of South
America.
As to the visit to that continent of
William E. Curtis, Chief Cluik Mich
