QUIETING DOWN.
Chile Is Willing to Settle The Baltimore
Trouble.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13-The Herald's spe-
cial from Valparaiso says: There is gen.
eral understanding in Chile, though not Off
cially announced, that Admiral Montt will
appoint two Conservadores as state coun-
cilors. This leaves the Liberals in major
ty of three in the Council. but it is
satisfactory to Seniors Walker, Martinez and
IrraraZabal, and they have withdrawn their
designations. 1t is thought Senior Altimo-
rano will be called upon to form Cabinet
when Montt has been formally installed as
President. Judge Foster is making all dus
haste investigating into the recent attack
on the Baltimore's sailors. There
seems to be every disposition to
bring the investigation to close as
quickly as possible, and the feeling against
Americans has toned down in marked de-
gree. Capt lin jenkins of the steamer
keewanaw was examined by Judge Foster
relative to the alleged assault on Fireman
Patrick Shields of his ship. Captain Jen-
kins was assured that thorough investiga-
ton of the case would be made. and If it
were proven the police committed the as
sault they would be punished
