Washington special says: "rhe
ChileanImbroglio bears an ugly look
and is giving tho administration
more uneaslness than the president
or his advisers will be likely to
admit. There Is no doubt of the
truthfulness of the report, that on
Saturday, Secretary Blaine received
a dispatch from Consul McCreery,
stating that the feeling against
Americans was again cropping out
in Chill, and that trouble of seri-
Gus nature might occur. About the
same time there came long cable
gram from Minister Egan, which was
hastily declphered, and at once
placed In the hands of the presi-
dent. This was to the effect that
the finding of the court inquiry into
the bloody Baltimore massacre
would probably oppose the claims of
the United States, and might prob
ably be made basis OF sauoy and
unsatisfactory note to Secretary
BlAin'."
