Roosevelt and Chilean Minister in Wordy
Clash.
Washington, Dec. 22. Diplomats are
interested in the report that Theodore
Roosevelt and Dr. Marchial Martinez,
former Chilean minister to the United
States clashed in Santiago Pi Chile over
the Monroe doctrine. The Chilean is re
ported to have dissented from Roose
velt's view that the doctrine is still a
vital issue. It is reported that the de
bate attracted unusual interest because
both prepared speeches were reviewed
before their delivery by the Chilean for
eign office.
In an address at a Roosevelt recep
tion Martinez characterized the doctrine
as a dead issue. The statement aroused
the ire of the colonel who replied with
some heat and is said to have suggested
to the diplomat that it was ill-advised
on such an occasion to inaugurate a con
troversy. It was said that at the conclusion
of Roosevelt's reception a demonstration
against the American visito." was made
by a small clique of Central American
students. '
