The Vice- ^»j^eriti Quirno Costa intended yesterday to ^nicate the news immedia'oly to General Qt from the absolute failure of the ,Vyf °f communication with Port Madryn v habie to do so." Orreo EsPan°l" says that this ridiculous cannot be taken seriously or oven ed to by the English Government, not from want of desire to plant its banner in this part of South America, but because its position is not such as to allow it to venture on such a dangerous enterprise. But, although there is no present danger from the attitude which the colonists have now taken, yet neither can the Government afford to laugh at it without taking measures to secure itself against the tendencies of those people in the future. The "Standard," commenting on the same, says that it has caused a general sensation of surprise and hilarity, because the said petition cannot be taken seriously, and wonders at the readiness of the "Times" in publishing it, and thus showing its tremendous ignorance of the political spirit of the Argentines. "The cause of this movement," it continues, "is due to the want of Spanish schools in that Welsh colony, as in no college is taught any other language except English, and that another cause is the neglect of the Argentine Government in leaving the colony isolated from civilisation, as there is no telegraph to Chubat. In the meantime, Roca has gone to the south, and will (werhaps) study how to manage these difficulties, especially as he has an idea of naming a colonist as governor of the territory." "The Standard" concludes by recommending the colonists to recall their delegates, and to have faith in the experience of Roca to smooth their difficulties." Neither does La Nacion," in its leading article, take the matter seriously. It says the colonists did not read the National Constitu- tion when they came to the country. jSTote.—As will be seen, "La Tribuna Popular," a Monte Videan paper, simply gives a resume of the commentaries of the Buenos Airean press on the mission of the Chupat delegates, and, naturally, they are on the side of their own Government. or of the country where they live; but the very fact that they have com- mented is an admission that the governing of the colonists has not been the proper thing, or that the Argentine claim to Patagonia rests on a, weak foundation. The promise of General Roca to appoint a colonist as governor of the Chupat territory was made to the delegates in the early part of last November, and it was followed the next day by a proposition to establish a garrison in Chupat to terrorise the colonists.
