There was little or no sxcitem 1Dt 10 oth-
oisl circles here this morning over the sah-
tiago press cableRram Announcing the re-
ceipt of an unsatisfactory response from tbe
Juusa to representatives ofthe United States
and ssying that the Bsltimore'5 Grew were
practically ''boycotted" at Valparaiso.
Naval officials discreGit the latter statement
and believe that its foundation lies ip tee
prudent course adopted by Gem nodore
Sohley respecting the granting OF liberty to
his sailors during the present conGitcn of
exoiiemsnt. No word has been received at
the Navy Department from the Gem
reporting any new phase Ia the situation.
At the Department Of State O cypber cable

morning hut 1t has not yet beeu translated
So the officials are In ignorance of its con-
tents. The prevailing impression here ON
the subject is that nothing will or can be d.
fnitely done in the matter until perms-
nent government be established In Chill,

not understand, especially 80 it is we'll
