meut this summer. There are no impor-
tant consular or diplomatic posts 70 ne
tiiled. oar relations with otner countries,
so far as is generally known, are not even
strained, ana the gossps nave been for
many weeks irving 10 md out the real
reason that keeps Mr.. Bayard so con-
stantly on hand ia his department. from
certain reliable sources IL II learned that
there Is not that peaceful and conlented
feeling existing between the l nlted states
and Chilli that the ordinary observer
might suppose. AS matter OF TACT, the
comm ssipu which we sent down TO the
South American countries last year
with the view OF cementing and
extending closer commercial relations
between The Uulted States and our south
ern neghbors has been ou'rsgeously
snubbed by the Chilian government.
Their report has not been made public,
but il it is, that portion OF 1t describing
the sarcastic reception which the Presi-
dent Of Chill gave 10 the members OF the
commission VIII make interesting reading
even in this hot weather. Our first trouble
with Chile dates back to the time OF he
war between that country and Peru. Mr.
Blaine, who was then Secretary OF state,
took the ground that IL WAS the policy OF
this government to prevent the entire eX-
tinction OF Peru as q nation The man
nar in which he sustained this view, the
Blaine. and Mr. Trescutt are facts which
need not be repeated.
CHILL STILL UNFoRGIyING.
Chill has never forgotten or forgiven
this Interference, which she considered to
be entirely unwarranted. She has never
missed an opportunity Of snubOing this
country, and OF late appears TO have been
even more pert and eaucy than ever be-
fore. Chilli has good navy. One OF her
war ships, the Esmeralda, is probably un-
surpassed by any vessel OF her class
anoat. II we should have trouble the
Esmeralda could steam up to san Fran
cisco and levy tribute on the entire city
or reduce lt to ashes, as best suited the
convenience of her commander. Now 1t
appears that in the late war between
Chilli and Peru a number OF tor
severely. The larCest mercantile
establishment in Peru is that of
William r. Grace e. Co., of New York.
The Chillian forces destroyed great deal
OF their property, and as matter Of
course the firm have large claim against
that government. There ls not much
doubt that Chill Will ii ly refuse 10 pay
the claim unless she is compelled 10. Tne
firm Will PROBABLY req est the United
State to enforce the collection of the
money, and it is a rather diff matter
to see how the government can refuse.
1t IL said here that the activity at the
navy yards is for the purpose of having
some ships to use i'm just such a cOntin-
gency. A navy, however, will be prac-
tcally useless unless we can have
the proper coast tortitications to 90 along
with il,
