A Washington dispatch referring to
the relation of the United States with
the new government in Chill says:
The CHILEAN situation is gradually assuming
stable character and less interest is manifested
in it in official circles since it is taken for grant

official recognition by the various powers is the
perfection of the details of government.
Minister Egan has full Instructions ON that
point, and when ne Indicates to the United

which have always existed between the United
