WAsnISGroS, D. G., Oct. o0.-Thcro
was little or 10 excitement in official
circles here this morning over the
Santiago press cablcsram announcing
the receipt by Minister Egan OF an un-
satisfactory response from tho Junta to
tho representatives OF tho United
States and saying that the Baltimore's
crew was practically boycottcd
in Valparaiso. A cipher cable
gram from Minister Egan was
received this morning, but it
was nearly noon before it was trans
lated and laid before tho President. An
hour atterward messengers were des-
patched TO Secretary Blaine and Secrcta-
ryIracy, requesting their irpresencc atthc
White llOusO. The secretaries promptly
responded to the Presidents summons,
Secretary Blaine coming over from his
house and Secretary Tracy from the
Navy Department. Up to this time it
had been understood that Minister
fgan's cabIcgram was 10 be made pub
lie al al early hour, but as the consul
taion ran along, it was apparent that
SONG cause for delay had arisen. Sec
rC;ary Tracy spent On hour at the White
House and returned to the Navy De-
paI:mcnt, but had not been there long
before he was recalled.
SOME APPREHENSION.
Naturally these movements gave rise
TO all kinds OF more or less wild spec
p.a!ion as 10 the nature OF Mr.. Egan's
Dispatch and the intentions OF the
government. When Secretary Tracy
sgaIa emerged from tho White House
te refused 10 make any statement what
ever respecting the Chilean correspond
yHcc, on the ground that the Depart
nent OF State had the matter in charge.
Secretary Blaine appeared to be in good
spirits when he came out OF the White
House and stepped into his carriage to
20 home. He had nothing to say about
liT, Egan's message, but intimatcd that
when the proper time had elapsed the
NlbIlcwoUld be informed OF the facts.
Soon alter 6 o'clock an official statement
oI the contents oil Minister Egan's dis.
patch was made public. II read us
follows:
EoAH's DISPATCH.
"Thc Department OF State received this

PIVOT the Chilean government to the

hhAlSE's ANSWER AWAITED.
Up to the hour when the above state
ment was made public, no reply had
0eeA made to it. What vii! be the
nature OF Secretary Blnino's reply is al
,oSether a matter Of conjecture. The
