\ THAT ULTIMATUM.
Report of Its Nature in the Main
Correct

Report of Its Nature In the Main Is
Correct
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Although no di-
rect official information onn be obtained
here, it is nevertheless learned to-
night that the Associated press dispatch
from Santiago de Chill, reporting the ma
ture of the communication just sent by
this governmet to that of Chill, is in the
main correct, though couched in much less
,diplamatic terms than the original. and
not going beyond it one particular of i'm
portance. The immediate impelling cause
of sending this communication seems to
have been the receipt by the secretary of
state, through Minister Montt, OF polite
announcement on the part of the Chilian
government that Minister Egan is not per-
soma grata, but, on the contrary, is per
soma ingrata in the estimation of the Chill
ian government, coupled with the sug-
gestion that the speedy adjustment of
existing difficulties and the promotion
Of good relations between the two
countries would be facilitated by his with
drawal. 1t was not considered proper or
desirable to comply with this suggestion,
which was entirely unexpected and, in fact
created great surprise. Thereupon it was
determined that the controversy should be
brought to a decisive point by inviting
Chilli to choose between two alternatives,
namely, to promptly withdraw the Malta
circular, and also make reparatlOn to the
victims Cor to the families of victims) of
the Valparaiso mobs, or in case of refusal
to understand that diplomatic relations
between the United States and Chilli must
end and indefinitely cease No demand
that she make apology for those attacks
was included in the communication thus
sent, for tho reason that it is understood
that Chill has made to this government
earnest disclaimers of sympathy with, or
completely in, the deplorable occurrences of
last October, and has expressed deep regret
for them.
There is good reason to believe that all
that is contemplated by this government,
in the event Of possible refusal by Chilli to
comply with these demands, is simply
the severance of diplomatic relations, and
that supposed danger>of a war is by no
means increased by the step now taken.
On the contrary. it is believed that no
more serious results would follow the cessa-
tion of diplomatic intercourse with Chill
than have followed similar Interruptions of
such relations with other countries in the
past. 1t is understood that this govern
| ment was not only surprised, but also dis
appointed by the receipt of the suggestions
for Minister Egan's recall, in view of the
fact that settlement of the long pending
diplomatic controversy upon existing lines
seemed to be progr ressing favorably, and
there WAS no APPARENT reason why objection
to Egan should be made at this late day.
There is also good reason to believe that
Minister Montt is greatly disappointed by
this unexpected turn of affairs, which
threatens to end his earnest efforts to bring
about an amicable adjustment by usual
diplomatic methods.

A STRONG MAN WANTED.

American Could Do.

American Could Do.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Morgan,
head of the democratic minority on the
senate foreign relations committed, in the
course of conversation to-day on the re-
port that Minister Egan's recall had been
requested, said: "rhis would be good op--

An ambassador is sent to do n particular

would be peace and the absence of irrita-

to me the government has lost its oppor-
