CHILE HEARS THE NEWS.
-4F REPLY OF THIS COUNTRY RE
CaIVED QUIETLY.

Policy of Hegemony Declared Killed
Bv the Rupture-Chiie Not to Salute
the Flag.
LONDON. Jan, 30-The Times to-day
,nblisbes dispatch from Santiago de Chile,
ssvinO that a short official dispatch from
senior Montt, the Chilean minister to the
rrited States, was read to-day in the Senate
and Chamber of Deputies confirming the
unofficial reports that the crisis between
y-n,e and the United States was ended The
massage Of President Harrison to the Ameri-
c.n congress was read in the lobbies but
neither the American message nor the
official dispatch Of Minister Montt caused
The Spectdtor, in the course Of long re-
view of the American Chilean question,
saws that the tendency here is to blame the
limited States for pressing Chile overmuch.
America, it adds, is one Of the greatest ma
lions in the world; Chile Is one of the
weakest Any demand. therefore. on the
mart of the union which is couched in firm
language is sure 90 look harsh and unfair
but admitting everything in regard to
harshness, the fact remains that the United
States originally suffered substantial injury
10 which no powerful civilized state could
he expected to submit. Suppose the
Snectdtor asks, that a body of English
hue lacks were brutally attacked on the
streets Of Montevedio merely because they
were Engishmen, and two or three of them
we're killed-would there have been much
difference of opinion in England as to
whether Uruguay should be forced to make
reparation9 Given these facts the English
people and English government would cer-
taiuly have refused to discuss whether their
minister had conducted himself properly or
not. or whether Uruguay had not a legiti-
mate grievance against England" In con-
clusion the Spectator says that the incident
hos killed Mr.. Blaine's policy Of hegemony
HARRIsoN's REPLY.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Secretary Blaine
sent cable message to Minister Egan this
morning instructing him to inform the
Chilean government that its propositions
for q settlement of the differences between
4 the two governments made in response to
4 the ultimatum Of Jan. 81 are gratifying to
the President OF the United States as indi-
& eating good prospect that the controversy
can now be adjusted upon terms satisfactory
to this government by the usual diplomatic
n methods. The telegram makes no request
Or suggestion of any kind whatever for a
salute by Chile to the American flag.
There was nothing at yesterdays cabinet
meeting on this subject, and there is no
reason TO believe that this government will
require such a salute from Chile. Chile
may, Of her own accord, perform this
81 graceful act at the termination of the diplo-
# matte adjustment of all the difficulties
which is now In progress.
BLAINE NOT TO BE SUMMONED.
81 The Post tomorrow will say that the story
that Secretary Blaine was to be summoned
81 before the House committee on foreign
affairs to tell how it happened that there
was 50 much alleged delay in informing the
President Of the reply to his ulti-
matum is denied by Mr.. Blount, the
chairman. There is not a word Of
truth in it." said Mr.. Blount, NOR was
there any foundation for such a report.
do not for moment believe there was any
connivance In this matter, and am sure
mat when the President sent his message to
congress be did not know that the reply to
Dis uote to Chile mad been received, nor
ald any one else, for, according
10 the best Information, am
convinced that that reply did not come un-
