SANTIAGO, Chill, Jan. 2I-IBy Mexican
Cable to the New York Herald-Speciai to
THs BEE. --Intense anxiety is felt in this
city as to the reply OF the United States TO
the note sent by Minister of Foreign Affairs
Pereira, relative to the ultimatum. For the
past twenty-four hours nothing else has been
discussed in the streets, In tho cafes, in fact
in all public places. The papers which fav-
ored Balmaceua aud the supporters OF the
late dictator generally are Growing over the
manner in which this mattor has been
handled by the present government, and are
doing all they can to in6ame the people
In Valparaiso the matter is being discussed
with more calmness. The merchants and
bankers there generally believe that peace
full settlement of the pending difficulties be-
tween the United States and Chill will
surely be reached.
Intense Excitement Everywhere.
Teiegrams are arriving hourly from Iqui-
Que and all the provinces north and south to
the papers in Santiago and Valparaiso, ask
ing If the question has been settled.
Intense excitement prevails throughout the
entire country In fquique especially, the
people appear to be wrought up to high
pitch. The Peruvian residents of 1quique
are jubilant over the existing state OF affairs.
Tho press of Santiago aud Valparaiso print
the widest stories relative TO the ultimatum.
La Union is especially bitter, and calls upon
the people, both male and female, to stand
her togetin upholding the honor of the
country. -r,
In regard TO the story current that the
United States would require salute to the
stars ana stripes, 1t says: Our noble
sailors would prefer sinking TO the bottom of
the sea rather. than to salute the Yankee
flag"
The exact terms of Chili's reply are not
generally known, or the papers are purposely
keeping them back. This is regarded as
strange A majority Of the Intelligent people
of the country regard the not of tue govern
ment in regard to the apology and th. with
drawal of the demand Tor Minister Egan's
recall in a favorable light La Union prints
a letter from an Englisnman advising the
severance of all diplomatic aud consular re-
lations with the Omitted States.
Not t1eased with Montt.
The report REACHES me that the cabinet is
much dissatisfied With the course of Pedro
Montt, the Cbilian' minister at Washington.
His last message, received Friday, it is said,
coming to a speeay conclusion, He has all
along led President Montt and his advisers
to believe thatrIr. Blaine was desirous of
submitting the, whole affair to arbitration.
AS cabled yo,t, this. statement appears in
the reply to the ultimatum. Some here think
that Minister Nipntt has been mlsled by
Richard L. Tranbull, Julio Foster and their
democratic friends. > ni s.-s
49, 70 Charge Aigainst Minister Egan.
The excuse mass, for demanding the recall
of Minister ,Egan Is 'that,it was understood
he had cabled 10 Secretary Blaine that the
Gillian government had granted, safe con
ducts to the refugees and then had recalled
them. He never tuade such statement.
What he did say, easlI csbled you, was that
Minister Pereira had given his consent to
their removal aud this cannot be deEied.
" The'minister of justice has ordered Judge
OF Crimes Foster at Valparaiso TO drop all
other work and to proceed at once to conclude
the trial Of the men in the Baltimore case.
Judge Foster promises that he will finish
the cases by Friday.
/ hear that the purchase of the cruiser now
i'll the Armstrong yard has been effected by
the Chillan government.
There is talk tonight Of trouble having
arisen between Chill: and Argentine on the
question OF delimitation. The Chilian MEM
bers of tho commission says that Argentine
wants ports on the Pacific side of the Pata-
gonia territory, which it is doubtful if Chilli
will grant.
