WAsUINGToS, Dec. 2a.-There is ex-

tercv to work night and day on that
vessel and to get her ready for service
at the earliest possible moment This
will, it is hoped, be before February l5.
Her two 12-inch guns which, by the
way, will be the largest rifle cannon
upon any vessel in the navy, will be
sent to her without the usual number
of proof rounds being fired. The guns
are now at the Indian Head prov
ing grounds, and orders have just been
issued to prepare them for shipment to

the great relief of the department, they
are now ready to begin shipping them.

ALL CHANGED AGAIN.

The Chifia1 Affair Kaleidoscope Takes
Another Turn. and Now tie Possibilities
of War Seem Quite Remote-It ia Be-
iieved English Influence in Being
brought to Bear Chill to Adopt .
More Pacific Policy.
WASHINGTON, Dec. So The changes
in the situation of the Chilian affair are
Kaleidoscope and instantaneous III
their nature. and go from one extreme
to the other. Nothing could be more
radically different from anything else
than the sentiment abotit the state,
war and navy building Tuesday from
that Of yesterday. Then it was all
hustle and the feeling was decidedly
pugnacious. Now, the departments
are comparatively deserted, and 1t is
felt that the possibility of war is very
remote. Tuesday the corridors and
ante-rooms were filled with statesmen
and diplomats; yesterday there was not
enough around to prevent the place
from wearing an almost deserted look,
OF news there was absolutely none, al
though something was promised from
the state department later in the day,
while rllmors were almost as scarce.
Senator Allison, of the appropriations
committee, Representative Lodge, OF
| house naval committee, and Represen-
| tativc Brewer, of North Carolina, were
Secretary Tracy's visitors before the
cabinet met, while Secretary Blaine
had none at all aside from the depart
ment officials. 1t is generally under
| stood about the state department that
on cabinet days the secretary will see
no one, except 10y previous engagement,
so that casual callers on these days are
infrequent.
Around the navy department 1t was
limited that the cause of the sudden
subsistence of the war talk was due tt
the fact that congress could not be de
pended on for supplying the necessary
funds to carry on a campaign agains
Chill, that, in fact, 1t probably woul1
not give it's consent to the declaration
of hostilities against that country
What authority existed for this opinion
was not stated-it seemed to be in th'
air. but was more substantial thar
mere wind.
Sentiment In the state department
credited the peaceful condition O
things to the influence of English In
terests in Chilli, which in bushes
way are paramount. 1t was said tina
the Chilan authorities would be tol
plainly that England would not SUITE
them to jeopardizs the property OF 1t
subjects in Chilli, and the late eonquere
territory of Peru, as conflict with tn
United States certainly could do. nh
that therefore, an amicable understand
ing must be reached with this govern
ment In this connection, the visit OF 81
Julian pauncefote, the British mlniste
to Mr. Blaine. which Immediately pre-
ceded the lengthy conference betwee
the secretary and Minister Montt, Tues
day, is regarded as significant. Th
cabinet meeting yesterday, at which a
members were present except Secrt
tary Elkins, was unusually large, an
it is understood that Chilian affair
formed the principal topic of discus
sion. If any change of policy or vie'
occurred in the light of latest informf
tion from Valparaiso, it has not trans
pired.
