reaved family he so gently loved, and
whose losses so far exceed our own there

THE UNITED STATES AND CHILL.

The ChiIian Government has re.
turned an unsatisfactory reply 10
the demand of the State Depart
ment relative TO the killing of a
number of American sailors Of The
United States Cruiser Baltimore.
The demand was peremptory, and
likely force will be resorted to.
The trouble with Chill seems
likely to result in a war, unless
the great distance of that country
from this is affording it the oppor.
tunity Of putting on braggadocio
airs somewhat similar to those of
the little man who cursed General
Forrest when they were several
hundred miles apart, or the small
dog that nipped at the tail of the
big bull, but whenever that burly
animal turned around to hook him
up slunked away to attack n of
his own kind of smaller size. The
Chilians, however, are headlong
fighters, regardless of conse-
quences. They take the most des,
chances and may continue
TO provoke the United States into
bringing them TO their senses by
them a sound thrashing.
They are arrogant and blood.thirs-
y to the degree of savagery and
10 not deserve to be handled with
he kid gloves of civilized diplo- I
macy. 1t is high lime that the :
.itizens OF this great county
hould be protected all over the c
world and san eve for an eye and I
