WASHINGTON. Jan. 2?.-"The Gillian
trouble is at an end" said Mr.. Blount,
the chairman of the house committee on
foreign affairs, shortly before O'clock
this afternoon. The bottom has
dropped cut of the whole thing. Mr..
Blaine is elated over the termination of
the trouble in so satisfactory manner"
The manner of Mr.. Blount showed the
pleasure he felt at the news COM
municated to him by Secretary
Blaine. with authority to him (Mr.
BlounD to repeat it to such
persons as he saw fit to make it known.
a few minutes before Mr.. McCreary,
Of Kentucky, another member of the
committee. when seen said: why,
haven't you heard the news? Every
thing is much brighter now" Mr.. Hit,
of Illinois, a Republican member of
the committee, said: 1.-The situation
looks great deal better. and the
dispatch received puts the trouble
In very satisfactory shape"
Mir. Chapman, of Michigan. was . de-
lighted at the outcome. You must be
glad that the committee is relieved OF a
great possibility" he said to Chair
man Blount, who had just given him
the intelligence. II think we have done
very well, Mr.. Chipman," he added.
"The committee has shown -
The Right Spirit
throughout. We have been harmonious
and have considered it as a national
question on which all should be united
am glad such satisfactory termina-
ton has been brought about" Other
members of the house who were seen
showed the feeling of relief they felt at
the outcome of the trouble. In the SEN
ate also the members of the foreign re-
lations- committee gave visible evil
dence of satisfaction. The committee
had placed the paddock of absolute
secrecy on all its proceedings, and with
out that being removed they did not
feel at liberty to talk, lest they should
disclose what had taken place in com
mlttee or give a clue to what would
take place, but 1t was evident that
they were glad that from them had
been taken the grave responsibility of
declaring war, and that a peace
full solution of the controversy had
been reached consistent with the dig
nifty and self-respect of the United
States. Senator Hoar, of Massachu-
sets, was told of what had been learned.
He said it was a subject of of much con-
graduation to the American people, and
that he thought the matter was now

Their comment Oh
The Decided Change
made in the situation by the response
of the Gillian government. The news
of the change first became known to
nearly if not quite all the senators Oh
the foreign relations committee through
publication in an afternoon paper, the
injunction of secrecy operating to keep
the intelligence frsm them also. There
had been all day a feeling that the
crisis was passed, and for this reason
there had been no talk among sena-
tors on the subject The develop
ments in the Gillian controversy since
the presidents ultimatum have been a
series of surprises, of which that of to-
day is not the least. 1t has been change
upon change, and so swift they followed
that history may be said to have been
made every twenty-four hours. When
the first news of the decision of the
Gillian government to practically con-
cede all that the United States
asked was received in the cable
message from Santiago, it indicated
such complete change on the part of
the Chilians that while there was a
hope 1t was true many persons were
hardly able to credit it. The latter dis
patch has not only confirmed this cable
message, but each new development
has added to some feature making
stronger the statements originally made.
Mr.. Egan's dispatch was received yes
ferday, and in addition to what was al
ready known indicated that Chill was
Willing TO Apologize
for the Malta note, Which has been one
of the worst features of the contro-
versv. What Mr.. Egan said, however,
was not IN all respects satisfactory, es-
pecially with reference to an apology
preceding any arbitration Of the Balti-
more incident. Although, in advance of
its transmission to congress, official In
formation is unobtainable with refer
ence to the date of the receipt of the
cable message which shows that the
Cnilian government has gone farther
than anything yet made public indi-
Gates, it is believed that Minister Egan's
message was one transmitting the
Gillian governments reply and giving
the substance of the concessions 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 dis
patch containing the reply of Senior
Pereira, the Gillian minister for
foreign affairs, is very long
and its translation was not completed
until today. 1t is said to be a frank and
splendidly written document, breathing
throughout spirit of friendship and
good will to the United States. 1t is
said to be clear and unequivocal,
Nothing whatever is left of the Malta
note which is not only withdrawn, but
