CHILE TO BE HURRIED UP.
Earrison's Message to Go to Congress
Monday.

AAoh0als
WASHINGTON, Jan. at shall send the
Chilean correspondence to congress on
Monday" said President Harrison to-day.
He has waited. evidently, as long as he
proposes 10 wait for Secretary Blaine, un-
less hegets something more tangible from
Chile through him than he has yet received.
The PRESIDENT has no more expectation OF
war than he has had, but he thinks that il
he does not take the summary step Of laying
the whole matter officially before congress
IL Will drag along for weeks, If not months.
de contends that he is forcing peace and
not war; and that the result OF an ultimatum
sent by the authority Of congress will be
prompt settlement OF the difficulty.
BLAINE LOOKS FOR PEACE.
Meanwhile Secretary Blaine is encouraged
to believe that peace il even nearer than the
President thinks. The report that the
Chilean warships have not been ordered to
Magellan straits and the statement that the
Whitehead torpedoes ordered for Chile In
England wore ordered by the revolutionists
during the war. and not by the present
Chilean government, are reassuring. SEQ
rotary Blaine does not believe that the
Chlleans are making war preparations
Secretary Tracy differs with him about this
as absut other things Is was reported
to-day among members Of the diplomatic
corps that Minister Montt had received in
struettons to proffer an cpology and
promise OF repsration on behalf Chile to
the United States government. Minister
Montt when asked this evening about this
refused TO affirm or deny it.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-No dispatches
were received to-day at either the state or
navy departments In regard to the con-
dition OF affairs in Chile and, in fact. there
are really no new developments in regard to
that question, except possibly the plan of
action decided upon bv ths President and
his cabinet at their meeting this afternoon.
10 is generally understood that the cabinet
practically decided to submit the matter 10
~
gress, as we'll the country at large, might
know the exact status Of the controversy
between this country aud Chile.
WOULD INFORM THE PUBLIC.
While such course would not In itself
indicate termination OF the diplomatic
negotiations for settlement OF the matters
IN dispute, it would give the public, through
congress- an opportunity to determine which
country is responsible for the present un-
settled state OF affairs. 1t is said that the
only addition to the correspondence
submitted to the cabinet to-day was
a cable message from Minister Egan SAYING
that the Chilean governments had informed
him that it would not guarantee the safety
OF the political refugees on the Yorktown
In case they were removed in merchant
vessel which would touch ia transis at a
Chilean port. Secretary Foster was the
only absentee from the meeting. II is ex-
pected by the naval officials that the York
town will land the refugees at Callao either
tomorrow night or Sunday.
EGAN NOT RECALLED.
It was reported In Washington tonight
that the United States government had re-
called Minister Egan from Chile. Tho re-
port soon gained very general circulation
and created considerable excitement. It
was learned, however, that the story was
without foundation. Secretary Tracy was
asked at a late hour as SO the correctness Of
the report and replied that 1t was entirely
untrue.
