ANOTHER ULTIMATUlI.
CHILE MUST SALUTE THE STARS
AND STRIPES.
That is the Substance of a Dispatch From
Harrison Through Blaine and Egan
to the Little Repentant
Republic,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O.-Within the
next twelve hours President Harrison
will send another ultimatum to the
little South American republic, in
substance. This cable was sent from
here yesterday:
Egan, Santiago-President Harrison
accepts Chile's apology in the broad
and generous spirit in which it was
offered.
[Signed] BLAINE.
Today this cable will follow it:
Egan, Santiago-While Chile's apol.
ogy is in terms all that this country
could ask, yet there is one thing more
to be done before the dignity of the
United States will be fully satisfied.
Chile must salute the Stars and
Stripes.
Signed BLAINE.
Such was the decision at the meet
ing of the cabinet last night The
first cable, that is the one accepting
the apology, also states that the mat
ter of indemnity to the families Of the
two sailors who were killed and the
fourteen others who were wounded in
the Valparaiso affair can be settled by
the two governments without refer
epce to arbitration.
CHILE'S APOLOGY ACCEPTED.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Secretary
Blaine sent cablegram to Egan this
morning, instructing him to inform
] tl1n n n, ~, Of ifc
osition for q settlement of the differ
ences between the two governments,
made in response to the ultimatum of
the 21st inst, is satisfactory to the
president of the United States, as in
dicating a good prospect that the con-
troversy will now be adjusted on
terms satisfactory to the government
by the United States by usual diplo-
matte methods.
The telegram makes no request or
suggestion of any kind, whatever, for
a salute by Chile to the American
flag. There was nothing said in yes
terday's cabinet meeting on this sub
ject and there is no reason to believe
this government will require such
salute from Chile. 1t is very possible,
however, that Chile may Of her own
record perform this graceful act at the
termination of the diplomatic adjust
ment of all the difficulties which are
now in progress.

Alabama, from the commit tee on

REVENUE REGULATIONS.
WASHINGTON. Jan 30.-The COM
missioner of internal revenue has is
sued q regulation to the collectors OF
internal revenue in regard to regaug-
| ing spirits on their withdrawal from
warehouses. This regulation author
! ICES an allowance for the loss actually
occasioned by absorption, evaporation
and leakage after the package OF
spirits has been entered in the ware
houses by providing for the collection
of a tax on the actual number of proof
gallons in the package at the time OF
withdrawal.
THE FEELING AGAINST MONTT.
| WASHINGTON, Jan. 5U.-W WINE III Is
not altogether improbable that Chile
may change her diplomatic repre-
sentatives at Washington, it is stated
authoritatively that this government
has taken no steps whatever, looking
to that end. That President Harri-
son has no feeling against Minister
Montt is shown by the fact that he
sent him personal invitation to at
tend the state dinner to be given at
the White House neYt Tuesday in
honor of the diplomitic corps.
