| ralso:
| Ex-Mayor William II. Grace Of New
York, has cabled here that the Amer
can cabinet entertain feeling Of anger
! toward Chill. with TIE exception OF
| Secretary Blame. who alone restrains i
from violent measures. Mr.. Grace's
representative here sent the dispatcl "a
| the Moneda of Santiago. A slmsls :
| dispatch was received from Londoa.
| The Brlt:sh minister tried to give ths
| Minister OF Foreign Affairs Malta an
| vice on the subject, but his advice w.ls
| not received in friendly manner.
The dispatch is IN hs r,nony with Ia
formation to which reference has beess
| several times mace in these dispatches.
Ex-Mayor Grace Is the American wLo
has the largest business interests ~

no other condition. and no less con

States would permit arblsratIon.
| Referring TO tins subject, General
| Cogsweil SAID today: .'Cnless greatly
msjudgs the character OF President
Harrison l fully belicve that he a.
| ready, and has been for some time, 10
| present to the Chillan government the
| utimatum OF the Unitel States. la
| that case, unless Giett Britain aud
Germany should bring TO hear their i;l-
! fiuence upon Chill, l believe there
| would be war.
hMr. Biaine's political opponents
| have always endeayored to make it ap-
pear that he would represent q jinSe
| policy whenever there was an oppor-
tunity to do 60, and he has been
regarded as the aggressive member Of
the cabinet. In the present contingency
this Characterization of Mr.. Blame Is
| inaccurate. IL is a fact thst he mas
been disposed to much more m0der-
| ate policy since his return from Yar
Harbor than either the president or
Secretary Tracy.
| Chill Opposes Arbitration.
| The talk about arbitration does not
appear to have very solid foundatisn.
At the Washington conference Chill
was the solitary avowed opponent OF
arbitration. But for tho opposition, Of
the Chilian delegates. direct and in
direct, the proposed arbitration treaty
would have received the unanifuocs
support of all the American republics.

Time to Assert Onr Rights.
Great Britain ana Germany have
been pushing American trade off the
east coast of Africa, where once We
had very large and lucrative trade.
while our government has s.ood by and
neglected all American inte est in that
direction. They almost wiested from
us what little foo:hold we had In
Somoa, and in fact did curtal that
somewhaL 1t is now about aime in
our own defense, and III the Interest oil
our own foreign trade, that 20 look
beyond our border to stand lady at
all easons to protect our rights abroad
aud to enlarge the opportunities of
those American merchants, who in the
spirit OF old times anu win comrienda-
bIe patriotism seek to carry the Amsri-
can flag INTO foreign lands. think II
smart little war With Chill would be a
good thing, and would open the eyes of
our people and OF the administration of
whatever party 70 the fact that the
policy of the second century of the Ee-
public, unlike that of the fret century
must be directed outward. rather than
inward. Can any one recall IN the ias!
fifteen years. except In tho Fortune
Bay matter, when the strong determi-
nation or Mr.. warts accomplished
something, that tins government has
been paid dc!iar by the rights of q
single American citizen being injgseJ
in person or property Ii so | can not
recall an instance, but l can rscal
many cases where the property and
persons OF American citizens have beer
wronscd without the slightest repara
ton.
Jingoisus is All Right.
The sooner we begin 10 reform and
organize our diplomatic service and tc
train q corps OF men IN that service
the sooner We shall take that position
in this regard which the prcsent CAY
and situation COMMAND. In case o
war with Chill what APPENDED chancs
the United States would have to tax.
