 Secretary Tracy will call the atten- ton of naval officers to the fact that they should maintain discreet silence as to the ability of the United States navy to wipe out Chile. Ever since the Chilean troubles began naval officers have been expressing their views freely as to our ability to bom- bard Valparaiso, land marine force and take Santiago, and various other moves. But Secretary Tracy is of the opinion that such expressions are in very bad taste. They are caoled to England ana to Chile and have the effect cf placing this country in 8 bon bastic attitude which the secre- tary does not wish us to occupy.
 Admiral Erwin, now at San Fran cisco, is the latest to express an opin- ion. He says: We have ships enough in fighting trim to quash Chile. Val paraiso is the key to the whole situa- ton and l do not apprehend any diff culty in capturing that key" These and similar expressions will now be cut of by a strong hint from Wash
