THE CHILEAN EXCUSE
President Harrison Was Not
Disposed to Accept 1t.
BLAINE INSISTED. AND WON.
TEXT OF Letters Between Blaine and
Mont, and tho Full Apology of the
Santiago Governments.

WasHIsGTos CRY, Jan. 2S.-lSpecial. r.
Today everybody Is apparently happy
over the outcome of the Chilean affair.
As intimated yesterday. there is every
evidence that there has been split be-
tween the president and secretary Of state
over the manner in which this affair has
been handled. The Philadelphia Times
and other Eastern papers today print in
their dispatches from Washington City
details of the reputed trouble between
President Harrison and the members of his
cabinet, the gist of which appeared in the
PosT-InTELLIGEscER today.
IL Is learned from a most reliable source
today that the president and secretary of
state did not agree as to the method in
dealing with the apology received from
Chile. It is known that the president did
not think il was entirely satisfactory, but
Blaine maintained that it was, and fought
for acceptance. The power he brought to
bear upon the president is said TO have re-
suited in his yielding, and his message to-
day is the result.
In discussing the affair Eastern papers
have printed the stories of differences be-
tween President Harrison and Secretary
of State Blaine, and say that If any credit
is due any one in bringing about an annie
able settlement the credit is alone due TO
Secretary Blaine and those who sided with
him in the cabinet.
LONDON, Jan. 26-Tbe Standard in an
editorial says: Senior Pereira, Chilean
minister of foreign affairs. cannot be sus-
pected of any desire 70 make President
Harrison look foolish, but the circum-
stances make up for the absence OF de-
sign We are not quite sure that the
judgment of the managers of his party
will sincerely echo President Harrison's
remark that the turn of affairs between
the countries is very gratifying.
