| VALPARAISO, Nov. A report has
! Just been received from Santiago to the
| effect that Minister of Foreign Affairs
Malta has sent dispatch to Minister
Egan relative to the Baltimore affair."
| 1t is said to be couched in concilatory

as the inquiry in this city is concluded.
! WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. Secretary
Tracy on Monday said there was no
warrant for warlike dispatches at this
/ time, as nothing could be done until
/ the result of the Gillian investigation
/ of the attack on the sailors was known
He saw no reason for any apprehension
in the mind of the American public
/ TIE secretary's view is evidently
/ shared by the state department of
/ ficials, who look with amusement upon
/ what they regard as clumsily disguised
efforts of certain element in the Eng
/ lish press to foment serious trouble be-
/ tween the United States and Chill in
| an effort 10 nullify the progress made
towards the establishment of reciproc-
! ity between the United States and
South America.
! Senior Montt, the Gillian minister
| left Washington Monday night for
| New Orleans to be gone one week
4 He refused to speak respecting his visit
to the state and navy departments, but
expressed the belief that matters were
| progressing satisfactorily 1t is pre-
sumed he sought without success to Sc
cure for the junta the testimony of the
American sailors which was contained
| in Captain Schley's report.
| LONDON, Nov. A dispatch from
! IL, Al
| ing of the Gillian congress. The con-
sentative party Immediately placed
Admiral Jorg Montt in nomination for
! the presidency, a selection which the
| liberals are expected to indorse. The
same dispatch says that the junta has
already released the majority of the
political prisoners
LONDON, Nov. 4-The Daily Tele-
graph publishes the following ed
/ itorial:
| 1T cannot be denied that the accounts fur
! nished by Commander Schley Of the actual de-
tails Of the riot at Valparaiso quite enough
to arouse the just indignation OF people Of far
/ less jealousy for their national honor than
! the American people are known to be.
| Whatever may be the upshot of the unfortu-
| aate dispute, we most strenuously pro.
| test against the name OF this country being
| dragged into the matter by one side the
other. dispatch to New York paper rep
resents the Chilians as being extremely friend

P serious conflict with the United States Eng

/ juata, 1t asserts, is seeking an alliance with
Great Britain. II the members of the 1unta
the provisional government are in reality do
Ing or contemplating anything extremely
/ foolish they will soon discover their mistake
karra 49,
under any circumstances Great Britain will
/ step in and protect them from the conse-

DR. too emphaticaly disabused OF that idea
England will regard a war between the two
! countries as misfortune TO her commercial

| United States must accept unmeasured in

cause TO resent them would be inconvenient TO
British traders.
The taunts which have been leveled by GER

! in this matter are both unjust and singularly
unwise Standing altogether outside

transatlantic democracies England's at

I happy dispute and a willingness to do anything

heard not in the language Of taunts and fault
fnaing, still less Of menace, but in the advo-

The English tory press has not been
so virulent since the American civil
war as now in its assaults on the

Americans here are beginning to
