tive mansion this morning between the
president. Secretary Tracy, j. W. Foster,
Commodore Ramsey, chief of the naval

books containing official cablegrams and
book containing official copies of the navy
department. Acting Secretary Wharton
also had official papers. He said. i'll answer
to questions as to whether matters had
assumed a serious aspect in Chill, that he
could not say any thing on the subject.
To the question if war had been declared,
he said no
Commodore Ramsey would say nothing
on the subject of the conference, and
Private Secretary Halford followed his eX-
ample.
In official circles the news from Chill that
Gordon Of soldiers had been placed around
the house of the American minister ana
that entrance could bc obtained TO it only
by passport. if furnished by the iunta and
that American citizens We're being arrested
on the streets of Valparaiso, IS considered
serious business. II is known that rs far
back as last Friday Il long cipher cablesram
was received at the navy department from
Capt Schley in command of the United
States steamship Baltimore in CHILEAN
waters. A copy of this was Immediately
sent TO the state department. Since then
cablegrams between the state and navy de-
partments have been passing with in
creased rapidity, but the contents of none
of N GA m

about the executive mansion to-day. in view
of the fact that to-day is also department
day. has given the president little time to
confer about CHILEAN matters, and he has
denied himself 10 all callers.
