Altogether there wss an cir Of serenity and
everyday humdrum about the state and
navy departments which, more than oral

any and all sensational reports Of war-liks

FURTHER TROUBLE BREWING.
SANTIAGO DE GUILE, Oct 3O.-It is gen.
orally admitted here by supporters of the
government, and by Americans and those in
sympathy with them, that the situation of
affairs as regards the dispute between the
United States and Chile has not i'm
proved. In fact the enti-American
feeling is growing in bitterness
and all the American officials In Chile are
apprehensive that further trouble is brew
ing. The exact nature of this trouble they
are unable TO define, but they see little
prospect that an amicable settlement of the
Valparaiso incident will soon be re lched
and signs Of increasing popular aninosity
toward the United States give ground for
apprehension and Indignation. 1t is not
INTENDED by those statements to create a
feeling OF alarm or even OF anxiety as TO
the final result of the diplomatic negotia-
tions now in progress but, from all one can
see here to-day, the relations bstween the
junta and the United States government
are dangerously strained.
A CONFERENCE AT VALPARAISO.
Minister Egan, Capt. Schley of the Balti-
more and Consul McCreery, at Valparaiso
were in close consultation throughout the
day, and though it is not possible TO obtain
any definite statement from them for pub
lication regarding the nature or result of
their long deliberations, it can be said that
they all consider the reply of the junta to
Minister Egan's note asking for proper ex-
PLANTATION OF the Valparaiso collision as de-
cidsdly insulting to the United States gov
ernment. 1t is also known that
they regard the situation at present
as being serious. The reply of
the junta, they think, means practically
that Chile is indignant at the demands
made by the United States government,
that she will take her own time to consider
the matter, and that when the junta
reaches a conclusion that the government
will settle the matter without reference to
the views OF the United States.
NO REGRET EXPRESSED.
The reply of the junta, they further say
fails to express any regret for the murder of
the Baltimore's men, nor is there in that doc
ument any expression of regret at the con-
duct Of the police in using their bayonets In
arresting the Baltimore's men. While
the United States officials here are
justly indignant at the terms in which the
nation is as nothing to that felt by the
American residents in Chile. They do not
conceal the fact that they are looking for
further and more serious trouble, possibly
in the near future, between Chile and the
United States.
READY TO RESORT TO FORCE.
1t is believed to-day that the Baltimore
is prepared TO enforce, if such a course is
found necessary, proper treatment for her
officers and sailors who may be compelled by
the necessities OF the service 10 goashore. IL
is not meant by this that Cap. Schley will
not in any way irrieate the Chileans by
sending men or officers ashore when
it is evident they are not vel
come there. On the contrary
everything possible will be done by the
Baltimore's commander TO avoid any
trouble. But for marketing. provisioning,
watering, the interchange of messages be-
tween commander and United States minis
ter and other necessary duties men and
officers have to 20 ashore, and the cap
tain Of the United States cruiser does not
intend to be prevented from attending to
such duties. But as the virtual boycott
placed on the Baltimore continues Capt.
Schley, if he finds 1t necessary, will send
armed men ashore and will take other steps
to insure their protection.
ANOTHER AGGRAvATING FEATURE.
1t has just become known that there is
another feature Of the Valparaiso outrage
which demands explanation. The munich
pal aud government officers of Valparaiso
who made the investigation OF the attack
upon the sailors of the Baltimore compelled
the United States man-of-war's men who
were confined in prison to sign
petition, written in Spanish
generating the police from all responsible
ity for their arrest. AS these papers had to
be signed as one of the stipulatious for the
release of the blue jackets, the men natur-
ally did as they were requested. Another
point which is not serving to allay the i'll
feeling existing is the fact that no
courtesy of any kind was shown to the
United States naval officers or men upon
the occasion of the funeral of Turnbull, the
second man of the Baltimore's crew who
died from the effects of the injuries he re~
ceived during the riotous attack made upon
the blue jack Is. Under these circumstances
it is but natural that feeling of uneasiness
is increasing and that further trouble is
anticipated
LOOKED UPON AS ELECTION BUNCoMBE.
LONDON, Oct. 30.-According TO The
Pail Mall Gazette there is mo doubt that
much of the Chilean excitement in the
United States is due TO the elections No
body" says the Gazette, seriously believes
that President harrison Will push maVCers
to extremitles. Neither the sympathies of
other countries nor the majority of Ameri-
cans will be with bim.n
The st. James Gazette says: whether
President Harrison's rising Indignation or
Secretary Blaine's electioneering calcula-
tions will result in war is doubtful. The
Chileans,n the paper continues. ARE not
now in mood to submit to bully
ing. II Americans have grievances for
which they can legitimately demand re-
| dress. Chile has equal reason to complain Of
the conduct of Minister Egan. Possibly,
| if the ex- secretary of the land league was
recalled, the difficulty between the two re-
pubics would be much more easily ar
ranged.
DON'T LOOK FOR WAR.
The Globe is Of the opinion that it is in
credible that the United States should go TO
war with Chile, however much
it may enjoy the prelimi-
nary buster. 1t Is even more incredible
that Chile should court irretrievab,e dis
aster A weak government will always
find plenty Of reason for yielding to strong
government without loss of dignity"
The Ne1rs says: "Chile's reply was i'm
proper and undignified. The junta are not
likely t. add an American quarrel to their
/ domestic difficulties. IL is 70 their interest
to be on good terms with the United States.
