NO CHANCE FOR WAR.
The Gillian TangIe Will Be I'm
rayeIed Peacefully.


WASHINGTON. Sept. 29.-It is now
understood that the Chilian complied
ton has simmered down to a position
where it can be treated through Iplo-
matte channels. Yesterday the situa-
ton was critical, but further details of
the matter cahled to the state depart
ment to-day by Minister Egan have
eased the minds of the president and
those who attended the hurredly
called conference yesterday, and a
peacea6le adjustment of the diff
Guilty is looked for. But the govern
ment does not intend to take
any chances in being unprepared
for trouble, and dispatch has been sent
to the commander Of the San Francisco.
which arrived at Payta yesterday on her
way north to San Francisco via Acapul-
co, TO either remain at Payta or return.
When the navy department was closed
this afternoon no answer TO the dispatch
had been received, and the department
officials are doubtful of its having been
delivered before the vessel proceeded OH
her journey northward.
The government, it is understood,
considers the arrest by the authorities
of the two servants of Minister Egan'S
official household a serious affront that
must be dealt with firmly. A similar case
was that of the arrest of an emplOye
of the legation at Madrid when
Mr.. Adee, the present second assistant
secretary of state, was an attache there.
The employee in question was a Span
lard who was employed as a messenger
at the legation. He was arrested,
charged with attempting to evade duty
in the Spanish army. Mr.. Adee COM
planned to the Spanish minister for for

leased before the question of the status
OF employees of foreign legations was
settled. The United States has always
shown Itself intOlerant of such interior
ence, and even in the Franco-Prussian

upon. and it may be again positively
stated that, while American interests in
Chill will be fully prO.ec G /, the acute
phase and crisis of the situation have
been passed. and the existing difficulty
is now likely to become simply sub
Ject of ordinary diplOm atic correspond
ence.
