ch,ieans Preparing for War.

LONDON, Nov. 4.-The latest adVices
from Valparaiso state that there is no
diminution of the popular animoslty
against Americans, and that no real ef-
fort is being made to bring Chileans to
justice for the killing Ct the American
sailors.
While the American negotiations are
pending, the Junta has ordered the Chill
can war vessels to be ready for service,
and the forts defending Valparaiso har'
Dor are being strengthened. These steps
are being taken very quietly. as it with
view to avoid attracting attention.
The Baltimore maintains great vigil
ance, and Capt. Schley is evidently on
the lookout for treacherous attack,
The opinion is expressed that, should
the situation rot culminate before the
18th instant, the new president, proba-
bly, George Montt, may bring matters
to a settlement. Montt is believed to
be the best disposed to Americans or
any Of the revolutionary leaders.
The correspondent Of the London
Times at Valparaiso is said to be a
writer who has been noted In the past
for his hostility to the United STATES.
The Times articles continue to be the
subject of unfavorable comment IN Lon,
don, as calculated to stir up Dad Dlood
between the United States and England.

| Of ihe Cabinet. WHO objects to bei2y z
quoted, said today tSat the Republican
managers in New York completely jg-
nored the Administration during the
recent fight in spite OF the fact that
they were warned against the Anti
Tammapy iasu2 in the rural districts.
Republicans in Northern New York
appealed TO Platt and ais lleutenants to
senG some speakers into that section
who could tel the farmers something
about the effect OF the Mchlnly bill on
eggs, barley and similar products which
come into competition with Canadian
productions. The President is alleged
TO have suggested that it would be bet
ter to inject national issues into the
campaign with view to arousing the
interest Of the voters in the counties
outside OF New York and Brooklyn.
His ideas were repeated to Mr.. Platt,
out he paid no attention to the friendly
suggestions. Hence there appears to
be but little sympathy for the downfall
| OF Fassets III Administration circles.
On the other hand, the Democrats are
not cast down because Campbell was
defeated in Ohio. While they wanted
the courageous Governor TO win they
realized that he had remarkable odds
against him. Congressman Mchin-
ney, of New Hampshire, who took
an active part In the recent cam
paign, says that the whole weight Of
the Administration was thrown into
Ohio to help Mckinley. The returns
show falling off in the Republican
vote in tie manufacturing centres,
while they gained in the agricultural
districts, thus showing the people were
affected by the course OF events since
the passage OF the Mckinley bill. The
operatives in the mills voted against
Mckinley because his bill did lot in
crease their wages, and the farmers
were disposed to favor it because they
are getting better prices for their crops,
anu Imagine the bill has something to
do with that pleasant fact.
Congressman Mills expressed his re-
grcts thst Governor Campbell was not
re elected, put, said ne, yesterdays fight
settled beyond dispute that the Demo-
cra:s must shroG aside al other issues
ana make o square contest with the
Republicans OF the tariff question. To
do that they should select Cleveland as
their standard bearer, and il is probable
that the Republicans will nominate
