 WASHINGTON, Nov. 3-For the first time since the receipt of the original warning dispatch from Capt. Schley 8 week ago giving details of the brutal treatment of the American sailors at Valparaiso, a feeling of confidence per vades every department of the Govern ment to-day in regard to a pacific cut come of the Chilian difficulty.
 Both Secret Blaine and Secretary Tracy have expressed themselves within 24 hours to the effect that nothing seri- our was now feared by the Administra- tion.
 Their confidence is believed to be due greatly to representations which were made to them by Senor Montt, the Chilian Charge in Washington. Senor Montt has labored assiduously from the day of his introduction to the Secretary of State to bring about complete un- derstan ding between the two govern mentS.
 His efforts to convey to his own gov ernment a true impression of the feelin g in the United States have been crowned | with gratifying success, and he took oc- | casion to give to the Secretary of the | Navy and the Secretary of State yester- d ay assurances of the friendly attitude | which he has reason to believe has been i assu med by those in authority at San tiago.
 At the first interview with Mr. Blaine the Secretary of State impressed very | strongly upon Senor Montt the fact that | in his effort to preserve the peaceful re- | lations between the two Governments, the Secretary depended to a large extent | upon the discret tion and tact of the Chilian representative here, who was | in position to judge from personal ob- | servations of the real sentiment of the American people and of the firm but 1 pacific attitude of the Administration. l Senor Montt, the Gillian Minister had a long conference with Secretary Tracy | yesterday morning, and about noon the two went to the State Department to- | gether, and the conference continuel | with Secretary Blaine, MT. Tracy talk | ing part in it. It is entirely outside diplomatic usage for a foreign Minister to communicate officially with any but the Secretary of State, and the confer ence between Montt and Tracy is causing | considerable comment.
 
 fsr New Orleans to be gone until next l week. He declined to say anything re- specting his visit to the State and Navy
 departments, but expressed the belief that matters were progressing satisfac torily and deprecated the publication ot sensational and trouble breeding stories. l Secretary Tracy has mader public his instructions issued to our naval squad ron in Chilian waters during the recent internal struggle in that unhappy coun- try.
 The correspondence shows the deep solictude the administration felt in preserving the strictest neutrality be- tween the contending forces, and ii shows further that Admiral McCann faithfully reflected this solicitu1e in his instructions to his officers and men.
 LONDON, Nov. 3-A dispatch las
 night from Valparaiso says that the
 presidency has been offered to Jorg,
 NIontt and that Congress will reopen Nov. 16.
 All political prisoners have been re- leased. The excitement is fast dyin g out and it is believed the government is now willing to settle all claims made by foreigners who have been injure d.
