CHILE Is DEFIANT.
President Montt Opposed to an Apology
to the United States.

VALPARAISO, Dec. 1.-The United
Press correspondent is informed on the
authority Of an official holding high
place in Santiago that the Chilean gov
ernment has no intention whatever of
offering an apology or indemnity, such
as the American president requested,
and has no intention of recalling or mod
flying the reply given to the American
request, and that any expectation that
President Montt would in this respect
modify the policy adopted by the junta
was misleading.
The president himself, it is said, was
the most earnest advocate in the junta
of defiant retort to the United States,
and virtually dictated the answer sent
to Minister Egan. Montt has not changed
his views since he exchanged the office
of chief of the junta for that Of presi-
dent, and Chile is silent now because
there is nothing to be said. Meantime,
although President Montt has recon-
mended a cutting down of the army and
navy, no steps have been taken to carry
out the resolution, and even the vol
unteers sent back to their homes in the
north We're told to retain their arms.
