Warlike Activity.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10,-The navy de-
partment Monday was still scene of
great activity. Tracy held frequent
consultations with the chief of ordnance.
chief of navigation and chief of con-
struction, and occasionally called for
the chief engineer. Other chiefs fitted
back and forth through the doors, Civ
ing outward and visible signs of the real
work that is goiny on. At the bureau
the clerks were working at top speed
with typewriters and Swimming through
ledgers, making calculations and trans
acting great volume of business, but
in the Office of the chief of the bureau
of navigation, Commodore Ramsay. the
hustle was greatest. Three or four as
sistants had been detailed to translate
cipher dispatches and they were kept
busy putting messages into cipher for
transmission and making Ineligible the
cablegrams that came in from the south.
The naval code is one of the most in
tricate ever devised. 1t is numeral in
character and has never been detected.
1t is inconvenient, therefore, and toler-
ated because OF safety, consideration
of first Importance at such time as
this, land its present use is the main work
of the navigation bureau. Officers sat
in the small room adjoining the office of
the chief with closed doors, their desks
covered by a large fiat code book, for
which foreign enemy world give the
price of man-of-war. The grist of
half dozen cablegrams constitute
nearly a days work, and so all the
available force of the bureau is put
upon the task. Meanwhile Ramsay de-
votes considerable time in communica-
ton with the chief of the photographic
office, Commander Clover, who has in
his office accurate charts of both con-
tinents, which are especially valuable
now, and great care is being taken in
their study. BY this means every mile
of South American shore can be
watched, and advantage thus taken of
materials that have been patiently col
lected for many years.
The greatest PRESSURE however, is being
brought to bear on the ordnance bu-
reau, which represents the fighting arm
of the navy The chief of that bureau
is getting the most satisfactory results
from the guIl-making plant at the Wash
ington yard, besides stimulating steel
manufacture to the best efforts in the
rapid production of material but above
all the greatest activity has prevailed
for some time in the bureau of naval in
telligence, the agents of which are said
to have been at work on plan of posi-
BILE campaign, besides collecting all i'm
aginable information from abroad. 1t
is through this the secretary is kept
thoroughly informed on the movements
of the agents Of Chile, who, it is ru-
mored, have for some time been ran
sacking Europe for war material.

were offered by Balmaceda during his
supremacy and paid for by money
shipped from Chile on the British man
of-war which was the occasion of so
much excitement. They were intended
for operations against the insurgents
and not against the United States. The
former charge d'atfaires knows whereof
he speaks and was cognizant of the ne
gotiations for the torpedoes when they
were on the way. While he deprecates
war, he says the Chileans will fight to
the last if hostilities are once begun.
But we are only 100000" he said
significantly. English and German in
fluence, he thinks, will be brought
strongly to bear on Chile in the interest
of peace. The statement that this lot of
torpedoes was ordered before the trouble
with this nation is corroborated by
prominent officials at the war depart
ment, who say that time has elapsed
since the beginning of the unpleasant
ness sufficient to allow contract for so
many torpedoes to be closed and the
goods furnished and shipped.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The president
denied himself to all visitors today, and
worked on the Chilean correspondence.
He is preparing message to congress
in the privacy of one of the inner rooms
in the upper floor of the white house.
Monday, though designated as presi-
dents day, and one of the comparative
isolation, usually finds quite a number
of callers at the white house, but today
these We're denied admission. 1t is still
the belief that the message and cores
pondence will be sent to congress We'd

ing in the hope of obtaining an audience
with the secretary, but was obliged to
call at his house. The secretary received
him and the interview lasted about an
hour.
A rumor is in circulation at the navy
department this morning to the effect
that Minister Montt has notified this
government that an apology from Chile
will be forthcoming. This is not con-
tirmed and it was estimated at the state
department there is no basis for the
report.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-It is now an
undoubted fact that Mr.. Blaine is not
for war with Chile. He is reported as
having said to one of his closest friends
who Intercepted him on the subject
that all war talk came from the white
house. This is coupled with the fact
that when the members of the commit
tee on foreign relations of both houses
called on him he did not even allude to
the strained relations between the two
countries. To his friends he said that
the president seemed bent ON war and
that if he would keep out of the matter
there would be no trouble. Monday
Secretary Tracy cabled Commodore
Evans of the Yorktown to take the ref
ugees i'll his boat to some neutral terri
tary in Peru and turn them loose. This
is significant. 1t is understood that the
Chilean authorities permitted the refu-

the matter to Washington with the
