WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-''The Gillian
trouble is at an end, !" said Mr.. Blount,
the chairman of the house committee
on foreign affairs, shortly before
o'clock Yesterday afternoon. The
bottom has dropped out OF the whole
thing. Mr.. Blaine is elated over the
termination of the trouble in so salts
factory 4 manner. Our committee has
shown the right spirit throughout; we
have been harmonious, aud have
considered ii as a national question
on which all should be united / am glad
such a satisfactory termination has
been brought about The apology
made by Chilli is as complete as it
could possibly be. 1t speaks with
most profound regret of the attack on
the Baltimore sailors. declares a sim
cere feeling Of friendship for the
United States and a profound respect
for our flag and uniform. They speak
feeling,y of the presence of the Ameri-
can men-of-war in their ports during
the revolution, and of the friendly at
titude of our officers and men at that
time. They say that, entertaining
the feeling of friendship which
they do toward the United
States, it would be impossible for them
TO sympathize with or to fail to feel the
most profound regret for the assault
upon the United States sailors AS an
evidence of their perfect good faith
they say they propose in connection
with a complete and humble apology
that the matter of reparation be re-
ferred to the United States supreme
court to determine. There is no re-
serve. 1t is complete and abject apol-
ogy and settles the whole matter.
Feelings of hostility or resentment drop
out before such an apology"
Although in advance of its transmits
sion to congress official information is
unobtainable with reference to the date
of the receipt of the cable message
which shows that the Gillian govern
ment has gone further than anything
yet made public, it is believed that
Minister Egan's message was Que trans
hitting the Gillian governments reply
and giving the substance of the conces-
sions made For this reason Mr.. Egan
may not have been full enough in his
statements to thoroughly make clear
the full force of Mr.. Pereira's answer.
The dispatch containing the reply of
Senior Pereira, the Gillian minister for
foreign affairs, is very long and its
translation was not completed until
yesterday. 1t is said to be franc. .-t
splendidly written document, breath
ing throughout spirit of friendship
and good will to the United States. 1t
is said to be clear and unequivoca'.
Nothing whatever is left of the Malta
note which is not only withdrawn but
apologized for. The most sincere re-
greet is expressed for the Baltimore in
cident and the offer to refer it to
the supreme court is said to be more
than a proposition for settlement-it
is made as an illustration of the friend
ly feeling of the Chilians towards the
United States by showing their willing
ness 10 leave the matter to American
courts for settlement
The expressions of cordially toward
this country are prOfuse. 1t is said
that the whole tone of the document is
apparently so sincere, friendly and
manly and leaves the matter in such
shape that it is hardly possible to fail
to bring the two countries closer to-
gether and result in an amicable adj
ju stment OF the whole difficulty.
The dispatch is especially clear and
vigorous in repelling the charge of
hostility on the part of the Chiiians to
the American flag and the American
uniform In effect it says: "Chilians
hate the American uniform? Too well
does she remember that flag and that
uniform in her ports and harbors aid
ing her in her struggle for independ-
ence" Referring to Chili's struggle
years ago to achieve independence.
TIE prospect of war, it is thought, is
now over. and tiat while considerable
remains to be done before the contro-
versy in its entirety will be closed. yet
the affair is in such a shape as to bring
the two nations closer together and
make further proceedings a matter of
comparatively easy adjustment
