Still No Apology from the Saucy
Republic.
PRESIDENT HARRIS0N'S ANXIETY

At the Cabinet Meeting He States
That the situation Is More Serious
Than at Any Time Heretofore
The Matter May Soon Go TO Com
Eress.
WASHINGTON, Jan. a. The sem
sational character of the testimony with
relation to the Chilean outrages, which
Is being taken at San Francisco, has
provoked considerable excitement in the
navy and state departments and in con-
gressional circles. Every one whose
position gives authority TO his utterances
declares that nothing will be done
hastily, but at the same time those who
have taken most conservative view of
the matter heretofore say that the sit
uation looks bad, and that there will
probably be hostilities.
A diplomatic who has been on very
friendly terms with Senior Montt, and
has insisted all along that the Chilean
government would make amends for the
outrages, now declares that he thinks he
has been deceived, and that the situa.
ton certainly looks serious at this Time
The President Anxious.
President Harrison is greatly worked
up by the reports received from san
Francisco. He expects that as soon as
the investigation by Judge Advocate
General Remey is concluded brief OF
the testimony will be sent 20 him by
wire Ii the report is of the character
which the testimony thus far taken indi-
Gates it will be, he will send it TO cor
gress at once, together with the CORE
spondence between this country and
Chile.
AT yesterdays cabinet meeting the
president expressed the opinion that the
situation was more serious than it has
been at any time heretofore. After
looking the correspondence over very
carefully, hefinds nothing that indicates
the least regret on the part of Chile for
the outrage He regards the so-called
unofficial reports that Chile would apol-
ogize as rumors given out for the pur-
pose merely of allaying popular feeling.
Officially, there has been no intimation
of AN amicable disposition on the part
of Chile.
No Evidence of Regret.
AS far as this government knows, M
far as the president himself knows by
official communication or by unofficial
intimation, the Chileans are as UNI
friendly, arrogant and offensive in their
attitude as they have been at any time.
At the navy department preparations
for hostilities are progressing with re-
doubled energy,
LONDON, Jan. 13.-The Times CORE
spondent in Chile says that United
States Minister Egan has sent four Of

the political prisoners will be liberated
within week.
