over the prospects of trouble with Chill. In
view of the dispatch Of an ultimatum by
this government to the South American
Republic. All the departments were
closed, and Of course there was no official
republic manifestations in connection
With the matter. Inquiries at the depart
mepts were answered, in most cases, by the
messenger and watchmen on duty, and
there was no indication on the surface Of
the excitement that existed in official cir

officials were found. but they united in
saying that nothing had been received
from either Valparaiso or Calldo, SO that
IL Captain Evans has reached there with
the Yorktown and landed the refugees
taken aboard from the United States lega-

conditions OF going
One Of the officials said the stories that
Admiral Gherardi had sailed away to the
east In tho Philadelphia, to meet and en-
gags the Captain Prat, as the latter sailed
away from Toulon in complete condition
with an inexperienced crew, was fanciful
creation, but would not say where the ad-
miral had gone, II he knew There Is an
Extraordinary Degree of Mystery
surrounding the movements of this officer
and the squadron under him. No infor-
nation was to be had at the state depart
ment, none of the officials through whom
communications reach the public having
visited the building during the day.

The second subject is the Malta circular
note of Dec. l3. This note the Chilian

Statesmen's Opinions.
In an interview, Representative Josiah
Patterson, on the situation, said that he
could see no good reason for war between
the countries, and he believed their differ
cooes could be settled by diplomacy. He
thought that war with Chilli would be
Wy costly, and should. IL possible, be
avoided; but IL war becomes necessary
tho people will with one accord favor
maintaining the honor and dignity OF the
United States flag.
Representative Cate does not think there
Will be any open hostilties, and is Of the
on basis honorable to this country.
Representative SnUdgrass said that the
taik about war with Chill is on the same
plane as Il would be should.a street urchin
offend John L. Sullivan, and the big fel
low would 60 into training pending nego-
tiations for an apology from the urchin.
