When the above statement was made
public no reply had been made to it.
What will be the nature OF Secretary
Blaine's reply is altogether matter of
conjecture. The most plausible the
ory advanced is that the sug-
gcstions courtcously and diplo-
matieally conveyed in Acting
Secretary Whartou's dispatch that
this government had no doubt investi.
cations would be made and reparation
afforded will now be renewed in the
shape of stern and formal demand for
some immediate assurances of proper
action on the part of the jrnta. and that
II these are no. forthcoming Mr.. Egan

II Is said that the course urged by
the more moderate members OF the
cabinet Thursday was to take no de-
cissve action until the permanent gov

Chill should take the place of the pres

and there is the special reason for
waiting that the change of govern

more satisfactory in every way to
deal with govern uent which is
permanent and which represents
the SURFACES of the people OF
Chilli, than with ono which is
merely provisional and represents only
the accidents of civil war. The change
of government need not, however, de.
lay the prosecution of inquiry into the
outrage upon our sailors through the
regular judicial channels. and about
the time the new ministry of
foreign affairs Ia Chill is fair
ly in working order it will
find very emphatic demand from the
United states before IL to furnish
satisfaction for one OF the most brutal
ard cowardly attacks ever made upon
any American representative abroad.
