SANTIAGO. Oct. 8l-The political atmos-
rhere remains about the same. There is no
change in the strained diplomatic relations
"a
lAe Junta still contends that the police Of
aparaiso were IN no way to blame
f0r taking the sailors Of the Bati-
more into custody, nor for their sub
~ uent treatment. The members of the
American colony are on the oui vlve for
some sort of an ultimatum from the United
States 70 the Junta. Even in official circle,
it is evident that some such step is expected
AID there IS cOnse uenty erett excitement
il that and other circles The Chill ans DO not
seem % arasp the seriousness OF the occasion.
They believe that II they become involved in
trouble with the lniteI States that they will
easily obtain the aid OF England. Indeed
they are seriously discussing the possibility
of an ll.ance with England should hostiilties
result from the existing state OF affairs be-
tween the United etates and Chill.
The nted tates legation has again been
placed under police espionage. The reason
for 70 is not known but the police are keep

for this act on thatthe Gillian officers aie
ces.rous of KEEPING fully posted with regard
TO persons leaving or Wis ting the legation.
