Egan's coud,:ct in the negotiations over

anything but c. nctliatory. Among South
American firms in London there is n pro-
nounced impress.ss:. that war is impending
between the United States and Chilli. That
opinion IS not based so much on the tone
of President IIarrison's message as upon
advices from Valparaiso that leave no
doubt as to the temper OF the Chilli

leading London houses cautiously warned
the firm to look out for trouble within a few
weeks. and to keep its business transactions
