An ENGLISH CORRESPONDENT on
BLAINE.
LoNDoa, Jan. Co. This Chronicle
this Ming publishes an article from
lts AmnricAn correspondent bearing ON
the difficulty between the United
States aud Chile. The writer rnys nd
IA not an admirer OF Secretary Blaine,
but has known him many years and
has come 10 recognize his strength and
character aud appreciate the danger.
Gus control he exercises over the
American people. Tho correspond.
ont declares that when Blaine hurried
TO Washington two months ago
he pretended 10 be In favor
Of n policy Of peace, but In
reality only wanted 10 gain
time. lilo knew that sudden war be-
tween the United States and Chile
would mean defeat, perhaps disastrous
defeat, for his country, which would
be followed by n wave Of adverse pub.
lie opinion that would sweep him aud
his party out OF power. When Blaine
arrived nj Washington ho procee ded
To order war materials aud supplies
shipped 10 San Francisco. Although
Brooklyn and Philadelphia are tue
most puritanical cities In the Union,
tho workmon employed In the navy
yards NJ those places were kopt work
Ing Sundays without in.ermissiou.
The secretary OF state also superseded
ha "A kts Ina A a Al AsF.lH~.- 4.
the iire-eating Ghermdi. Tho oposl-
ton party did not dare object 10 these
sclf.evidont doBigns and never do.
mandcd that tho Chilean correspon.
donce should be made pnblic. War
with Chile, followed by a military oc.
cupatlon Of that country for some
years, would give tho American mer.
chants chance to capture trade and
would please Blaine, who complained
that tho new American tariff had not
made new markets. Once established
IN South America, II would bo easy TO
mud exousCs TO remain there. And II
was probable that IA revolution would
break out In every South American
republic, which would ondangor the
Immense English Investments In these
countries.
In conclusion, tho correspondent
says "Blaine wants and means 10
quarrel. He " ambitious, ami knows
how to fiatter the vanity and The love
OF the Americans for the almighty |
dollar. IL England desires to avoid |
war, Hhe had better counsel Chile 10 !
submit TO the demands OF tho United |
Btatos."

the ministers themselves fail to settle, |
to the arbitration OF the United States !

appearance OF the American crnigera |
coming from tho Atlantic, this sudden |
recurrence Of thu difficulty might he |
considered only ns one Of the many |
phases through which tho arrange (

cordlng 10 the cElgenolos OF American |
