THE REPLY NEGEZTED TUESDAY.
WASHINGTON. Jan 27.-l Special
There has been much speculation rs to-
the time the administration i re-
ceived the first intimation of Ohilis
apology and concessions, and some mem
bers of Congress have even huzarded
the statement that the President had
received Chili's replF to the ultimatum.
before the executive message was COM
municated to Congress on Monday
This false impression which threatened
to become general in some quarters,
to- night, Chairman Hlpunt seeks to COR
rect.
"As I understood it," said he, "the
6iQnntNh -
the administration early yesterday
(Euesday) morning. at half past 10
o'clock L had information from the
President. by a confidential message,
that the dispatch, had been received
from Chilli atthe State Department, but
1T had not yet been translated. SO
Chili's answer was not received until
the morning following the transmission
OF the Presidents message to Con-
gress."
SECRETARY TNAcY's VIEW
In conversation, with prominent OIL
cial just after the meeting OF the Cabi-
net. Secretary Tracy stated that tho
answer of Chilli to the demands OF
President Harrison, contained in the
dispatch received from Minister Egan,
was far from satisfactory. Chilli must
make an unequivoaal apology fof the
treatment of tho Baltimore's sailors.
The Secretary regarded the situation as
serious, and believed that the contro.
versy had already gone too far.
EVERYTHING QUIET IN CHILL.
LONDON, Jan. 81. lSpecialI- The
Of the Times at Santiago
oe Chilli to-day telegraphs that the text
of Chili's reply to the ultimatum of the
United States hos not yet been disclosed
and that it will not. be made public until
Saturday.
The correspondent further says that
Chilli Is relying upon the advices re-
ceived from Minister Montt as lato as
Friday, that pacific assurances were
given him constantly by Mr.. Blaine, tho
American Secretary of State, considered
that settlement has been practically
arranged. especially rs Chill, through
President Montt, had given counter as.
surance of friendly feeling and OF a
desire to satisfy all tho reasonable de-
mands. President Montt, the CORES
pondent adds, is not seriously COM
promised. fortunately for the tran.
guilty of Chilli, tho entire nation places
confidence in the patriotism and pru-
dence OF President MONT. Everything
in Chilli remains quiet SO far.

81 Speciall-The correspondent Of
the Associated Press has had interviews
with several members of the CHILEAN
cabinet. In his conversations with
these gentlemen he was told that Senior

difficulty between the United States and
Chilli.
From the statements made by the
minister referred to 1t appears that the
