,.taris. blaine, Elkins and Tracy, at
~. Whits House bore strong rcscm'
,i,,rr Of a Cabinet meeting. They
,sn,,Inei in conference with the Presi.
,i.at come time, and General j. w.
Eosier was called In. The discussion

but The question most directly un.
dor consideration was the character
Of the Presidents message to Con-
grs,s. -,,
from Commander Evans today saying
mai the yorktown" will sail for
hf Cnllao with the refugees tonight.
This Is regarded NJ an indication
that affairs are quiet In Chilo Mt
present.
The members OF both the House and
Senate Committees ON Naval Affairs
had conference with Secret airy
Tracy today.
"TnERE WILL he NO WAN"
The star ofpoace Is in the ascendancy
at the capitol today. There Is tangible
reason for waxing pacific ia view OF
the Chilean situation and the waning
wlrlikc talk which has been INDUCED
IN during the last few days u many
cengrCssmen. Nevertheless, there II
widespread conviction that war IL not
a necessary outcome Of the present
complication between the United
States and Chile, although there IL
as9 general belief that the good
temper and forbcarnnce OF this country
Is being sorely tried by tho exasperai'
log pf0cfnstinrtion Of the Chilean
government In tho correspondence.
A Pacific coast Senator tersely
summed up the views OF many Of his
colleagues today when he said; "There
Will be no war. Chile deserves a
spanking, but the United States can
rot Aflori TO sacrifice her dignity and
play school marin, unless II IL absolute
" necessary, and II IL not. Our gov.
trnmunt adopted such QUOT dignihed
tine la its correspondence aud has
awaited the pleasure ofthe Chileans Ia
the conclusion OF their air.splltting,
euiivocaung, judicial inquiry with so
much patience that the little South
American nation has grown presump-
tious, hut they have at last come TO
realize the fact that the dignity OF this
ln,lOn Il not 10 be triilcd with, and
when the Presidents ultimstun IL 30 1t
they will come down from their 10 ty
position aud make duo rsparation."
Members OF the naval Senate com.
mltteo who were at the navy depart
ment yesterday assert positively that
their visit had M reference 10 the pos
slbility OF a war with Chile. Secretary
Tracy invited them 10 call, aud when
they reached the department he en-
terrell into general discussion Of tho
conduct Of the naval affairs " the gov
trnuent. Whether the PROSPECTS, Of
war with Chile did or did not figure In
tho discussion, one significant fact
which may be recorded IL that every
member u the committee who was
present at the interview with Score.
hTy Tracy expressed himself today as
c1nliient OF . peaceful solution.
Chairman Herbert OF the House
naval committee also called upon See.
te,ary Tracy by invitation this morn.
int. Herbert declined 10 give the re.
suit o' the conversation, but lie, like
tho members OF the Senate naval com.
mlitte, insisted that no Importance
was To be attached to tue interview,
which had reference only To the needs |
o. tits navy. His statement upon this
point is borne out by the fact that n
subcommittee Of the House naval
committee will call on Secretary Tracy
tomorrow to discuss naval prospects.
