since the time they saw it figuring honor
ably in the ranks OF soldiers and sailors
who in glorious struggle gave independ
ance and established republic"
He admits on behalf Of his govern
ment that the .occr rrence of Oct. 1t
was of greater gravity than usually oc-
curing between sailors, and this in
duced Chile to hasten measures to dis
| cover and punish the guilty, but IN
vestigatIon could not be finished with
the rapidity Chile desired, because OF
rules of procedure established by mel
laws.
This inevitable delay had compre-
missed the government, greatly to its re-
gret. The undersigned regards it as his
duty TO declare once more that the gov
iernment of Chile laments the occurrence
of Oct. I6, and by way of showing the
sincerity of his feelings and confidence
be has in the justice of his cause, de-
clares his Willingness to not await the
decision of examining Judge and
( that actions of the police be considered
with due allowance. The body was not
yet properly organized, nor did it have
the force required to put down disor-
der Of such preparations. He recalls the
fact thatitive days t. .aets nmed office
instructed Minister Montt to express to
the United States government very
sincere regret on account Of this unfor
tunate incident which the government
of Chile doubly regretted, owing to sin
cere desire to cultivate friendship with
the United States. II these expressions
are not satisfactory Ge would recall the
fact that the government OF Chile had
expressed desire through it's minister
at Washington to submit the dispute to
arbitration by any power or tribunal,
and that on the 18th inst. Munster
Montt had replied to his government
that he had so agreed with Secretary
Blaine.

WASHINGTON, Jan. CIT was openly
admitted at the navy depart nent today,
now that there is no longer any reason
for concealment, that the government
was fully prepared to enforce its de-
mands against Chile in case they had
not been secured by more pacific meth
DDS of negotiation through diplomat
ic channels. The entire naval force had
been concentrated so as TO be able to
make an almost concerted attack on
Chilean ports. The Pacific squadron,
consisting of the San Francisco, Charles
ton, Baltimore, Boston and Yorktown,
would have beeE speedily reinforced by
the south Atlantic squadron, now at
MontevideO, consisting of the Chicago,
Atlanta, Bennington and Essex, and the
Philadelphia and Concord of the north
Atlantic squdron. The MiantOnomah,
Newark and VesuVius were held III re-
serve for possible service. At the same
time great stores of coal, ammunition
and provisions had been forwarded on
both the Atlantic and Pacific so that
the fleet should be amply supplied in
case foreign ports be closed to them.
Arrangements were made for the i'm
mediate use of a number of transports
and auxiliary cruisers. Four steam
ships were chartered from the Eastern
steamship company, laden with coal and
sent to Montevideu. These vessels were
TO be used as cOlliers and ply between
the nava! feet and home points. The
steamer Benito was chartered fer SINH
lar service on the Pacific coast anC other
arrangements made to secure the delivery
Of 10000 tons of coal q month 1T point
convenient for naval vessels. The plans
contemplated the early SEIZURE of a ChIl-
can port for use as base Ct supplies.
These preparations entailed greaf eX-
pense, roughly estimated at about g.
O0G.00O. The department will Eow be
busy for long time undolng many of
lis preparations ard restoring the naval
establishment to its usual basis.
BETHLEHEM. Pa, Jan. 2S.-1he Beth

it's shape. These TASKS have been made
in Europe, but only after the most ar
duous experiments through a long ser-

of the cylinder was very gratifying. 1t
