WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The tagging in
terest in the Chilean affair was revived in a
measure this morning by the visit of Senior
Don Pedro Montt to the Navy Department.
He remained with Secretary Tracy for an
hour. Meanwhile messengers had been
sent to the Department of State. They re-
ported Secretary Blaine with the President
at the White House. After conference
with the President Secretary Blaine re-
turned to the State Department and Secre
tary Tracy and the Chilean Envoy had a
conference with him.
Senior Pedro Montt. who is acting as the
Chilean representative. will leave Washing
ton tonight for New Orleans and be gone
until next week. He declined this after
noon to say anything respecting his visit to
the State and Navy departments. but ex-
pressed the belief that matters were
progressing satisfactorily, and ag'in depre-
Gated the publication Of sensational and
trouble breeding stories.
SENIOR MONTHS MISSION.
There WAS some comment upon the call of
Montt uron Secretary Tracy. as foreign
Ministers observant of official proprieties
usually transact any business they may
have with the Government to which they
are accredited solely through the Secretary
OF State. The departure from the usual
practice by Senior MOntt to-day is accounted
for on the ground that he has not yet been
recognized as the Chilean Minister. There
Is rea son TO believe that Senior Months visit
had reference to the inquiry now being made
at Valparaiso into the assault upon the
Baltimore's sailors, and that, in behalf of
the Chilean Government, he sought to secure
the testimony of some American sailors, as
contained in the report of Captain Schley to
the Board of Officers As the Chilean in
quiry is being conducted in secresy, and as
Captain Schley was not permitted to have
one of his officers present during the eX-
animation of the arrested sailors the United
States Government felt bound tn der'i"" 10
ermit lis sailors to q =.
If, however, the coAdu is
changed and the procet ic
to the world Captain i
mouy to be taken by I IS
aboard his vessel or S
ashore to testify, in hi b
the truth.
NO CAUSE FOR UNEAsINEss.
Secretary Tracy to-day said there was no
lOC StDSdIIOUdi. WuTilhe
at this point. The United States Govern
ment requested an Investigation of the as
saul. upon the Baltmore'5 sailors, the in
yestigation is being made, and nothing
could be done until the results were known.
He saw no reason for any apprehension in
the minds Of the American people. The
Secreary's view is evidently shared by the
officials of the Department of State. who

gard as clumsily disguised efforts of a GER

publics by the Pan-American Congress and

| NO COMPLAINT AGAINST EGAN.

plant has been received by the State Depart
ment from the Chilean Government of the
conduct of Mr.. Egan, and that his recall ha
! not been considered by the President or the
Secretary of State.
