Il was ths understanding at the c,bs-
net meeting FRIDAY that the corre-
Sponaence would go into congress not
later thas "Wednesday of next week and
possibly earlier. The gsvernment'sin-
vestlgation into the attack upon the
Baltinore's sailors, conducted by Judge
Advocate General Rsuy At San Fran
cisco. having come to an end there is
which would em to greatly strength
en- the governments case, should not
be Incorporated in the documents sent
20 congress.
The President's Position.
The president will. il Is understood,
take the ground that the outrages were
premeditated and participated in by the
Gillian police. He will show that
the attack was made simultaneously
in wideiy-separased localities wherever
m American seaman could be
tesnd. one point OF attack being
separated from the others by miles
the message will be ACCOMPANIED By
number OF photographs showing the
character OF the location where the as
sauit occurred, and it will be seen that
while some of the seameu were at
tackled In . disreputable quarter OF
the town others were set upon in
the best residence quarters II
is regarded As highly improbable
that these widely separated groups
of seamen should all have been drunk
and should have brought the attack
upon themselves. The correspondence
viii be accompanied ny statement
from the president outlining IS lead
ing features What specific recon-
neada.ions President Harrison may
have to make will depend on the de-
velopme nts of the next few dayA
Little Chsses Of Apology.
Full consideration will be given any
step toward reparation which the
lChilisn government may make. II il
comes to its senses and promtly disa-
vows Minister Mstta's diplomatic af-
front proper credit will be given for q
friendly spirit Any representation it
may make of its intentions to go be-
yond the finding of Judge Of Crimes
FOSTER and the report Of the procu-
Satur fiscal will also be noted. But
from the present outlook there is so
little chance for apology that it is .
waste of time to discuss these contin-
gencies.
VIII Depend on Congress
The one satisfactory feature which
the president will be able to note is the
safety of the refugees, due TO the yield
ing Of Chilli TO the demands of tac
United States It will not be ncces-
sary for the president 70 ask authority
.rcrn ccnnrsss to withdraw she spiaie-
ter and break of diploIn attic neSoti.-

Mosts Seeking for Delay.
Minister Moutt in Washington has
redoubled his efforts 10 secure some
modification in the ultimatum Of the
United States He has made urgent
representations that the present gov
srnment Is doing all that the state of
feeling in Chilli will warrant II
in doing TO satisfy the demands
Of the United states He Ia con-
fident that II this country will only wait
longer everything will be settled salts
faetorfiy, but the minister himself does
not promise apology or the repsration
which the Upited states holds due 20
~ He simply INDUCES in gcneralitiss.
IL 10 now admitted ia high Official cir
eles here that Minister Mont has not
been able 10 give entire satisfaction IN
anything aud his plans for delay are
futile.
Chsfi's War Preparations
