Blaine has sent . cable message 10
Minister Egsn. instrueting him 10 in
form the Gillian government that its
proposition for settlement of the
difference between the two gov
eramsnts made IN response
10 the ultlmatam of the slst
instant. is satisfyirg to the president
of the United States. As indicating .
good prospect that the controversy can
now be adjusted on terms satisfactory
to this government by the usaal diplo-
matte methods The telegram makes no
request or suggestion of any kind what
ever for a salute by Chilli To the
American flag. There was nothing
said at Fridays cabinet meeting
on this subject, and there is
no reason To believe that this
government viii require such
salute from Chilli 1t IS very possible,
however, that Chill will on her own &C.
cord perform this graceful act at the
termination Of the diplomatic adjust
ment of all difficulties which is now ia
progress.
Another Lie Nailed.
Specific inquiries as to the truth
of published statements that this
government has takea the posi-
ton that Chilli must salute our
flag elicit positive and authori-
tative denials of a most sweeping
character No demand is made upon
Chilli to salute the flag; and the stories
printed as to alleged proceedings in
the cabinet meeting of Friday on the
whole subject OF Gillian affairs are
pronounced to be- absolute conjectures
aud Inventions.
Heavy Indemnity Demanded.
As to the amount to be paid to the
relatives of Riggin and Turnbu the
sailors who were killed, the Gillian
government may find. when 1t comes to
investigate the matter that ia
several states of the union the
enlightened Judgment of the
people speaking through their
legislatures has fixed the limi: that
may be recovered for damages in
case of death at $1,000. in the matter
of injury, however. the limit of dam
ages lies within the province of the
petit jury. Patrick Shields. the sailor
on the Kewecnaw, who was also vic
tim of Ckilian violence in Valparaiso,
has filed by his attorneys claim for
$50, 900 damages, which the attorney
asks the state department to collect
Ready to Pay.
SANTIAGO, Jan, 50, "A cable dis
patch was received Friday morning
from Minister Pedro Montt at Wash
ington repeating the text OF President
Harrison's message to congress-, ac-
comranying Chili's reply to the ulti-
nahum of the United States. He adds
that he is now assured that the
government OF the United States is
fAvorsbly disposed to that of Chill
and is content with Minister Pe-cira' S
reply. Senior Pcreira read Senior
Months dispatch at the session of tho
senate Friday afternoon. Nothing was
said in the dispatch. relating To the
question of future arbitration and in
demnity, but Chill will certainly pay
whatever indemnity is agreed upon.
Pleased with the Result.
Little is heard either in Santiago or
Valparaiso but expressions OF satisfac-
ton at the peaceful solution of the
trouble. There is no doubt that the
utmost anxiety prevailed, but now it
has been relieved. Oaicsrs of the navy

ships here would have an excellent CT
