CHILE'S BACKDOWN!
She Makes an AbjeCt Apology
to the UHited States.
San Francisco, January 2Stb, per
BUrkentine w. II. Dimond.

Inc urSJ reports Oh Snlle having
made an apology were meager and
not altogether satisfactory. Fuller
dispatches received later have made
an impression in Washington that
danger of war is over. Chairman
Blount of the House Committee on
Foreign Relations, in speaking of
Chile's latest despatch, said: "The
whole matter is settled, and nothing
but the preliminaries remain to be ar
ranged. The apology made by Chile
is as complete as it could possibly go.
1t speaks with profound regret of the
attack on the Baltimore's sailors. 1t
declares sincere feeling of friend
ship for the United States and a pro-
found respect for our flag and uni
form. They speak feelingly of the
presence of the American men, of
war in their ports during the revolu-
ton, and of the friendly attitude of
our officers and men at that time"
Further, Blount said the Chileans are
willing TO leave the matter of repair
alton to the United States Supreme
Court. The despatch covered six or
seven pages of foolsoap.
ANOTHER SIDE.
Pending the publication of the
Governments despatch to the Wash
ington Government, there is great
excitement in Chile. The younger
patriotic people, whose sentiment is
that of large element, talk in favor
of resort to arms rather than sub
mission to the United States. Naval
men, referring to the possibility of
being called on to salute the Ameri
can flag, say they would see the
Chilean fleet sunk before they
would salute the flag of the United
States. Matta's popularity, it is
said, will not be decreased on ac-
count Of his offensive note which
stirred up warlike feeling in the
United States. While the Govern
ment was deliberating on the precise
language to be used in its apologetic
note, a committee of leading citizens
were making active preparations to
honor Malta with grand banquet.
Peruvian public opinion is on the
side of the United States, and officers
of the army and navy would eagerly
enlist in hostilities against their old
enemy.
The sentiment on the Isthmus of
Panama has been Extensively against
the United States. Survivors of the
Prestan rebellion openly denounce
the Americans and advocate the CO.
operation of all the South American
republics In defense of Chile in case
of hostiities. The papers, excepting
the Star-and-Herald, support Chile's
cause.
