Several Virginia bankers involved in

not crippled, and that is the case with

The news has caused great commotion

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-[Speciall-
The President to-day concluded his ex-
animation of the diplomatic correspon-
dence in the Gillian controversy and
sent the document back to the State
Department.
at cabinet Meeting, which was COM
paratively brief, lasting but an hour
ana half, he announced this fact and
indicated that the next step in the case
would not be long delayed. The whole
matter was discussed in general, but
no action was taken, as there is nothing
10 be done until the correspondence has
been published.
1t is ascertained that the President
Will accompany transmission of cores
pondence by message upon the subject
that will probably go over ground of
entlre CONTROVERSY and advance GER
tain propositions that will define the
ATTITUDE OF the administration in q very
positive manner. In view of the GEN
eral belief that the President is consid-
era6ly aggrieved at the position taken
by Chilli, this message is expected with
more than usual interest
In his annual message the President
made two promises, one conditional and
one absolute. The la ter was that he
would az an early date transmit the cor
respondence; the former that in case
Chile took needless timo in answering
he would send q special message. 1t is
understood to-day that he has deter
mined to combine these two and send
his message simultaneously with the
document.

the message ready so that it it can be
submitted to Congress at lis meeting
Tuesday neXt, and it is therefore
thought that tho earliest time that 1t
can be sent to Congress will be Tues
day afternoon or probably Wednesday
morning, as 1t Is usual for such commu-
nications to be made to Congress as soon
as possible after tho opening of the
days session.
The Government investigation into
the attack upon tho baltimore's sailors,
conducted by Judge Advocate General
Remey at San Francisco, having come
to an end, there Is now no reason why
the facts thus elected, which would
seem to greatly strengthen the Govern
menJ's case, should not be incorporated
In tho documents ssent to Congress-, es-
pecially as portions of the testimony
have been mailed to Washington from
day to day, and the last batch of evil
dence should be here in few days.
In addition to this Colonel Remey has
wired daily report of the proceedings
to the Navy Department. and thus the
President has had before him a complete
synopsis of the result of the investiga-
ton OF which he will make use under
any circumstances, whether or not all
the testimony shall be received in time
to accompany the correspondence.
"A cable message was received at tho
Navy Department today from Com
mander Evans of tho United States
steamer Yorktown, at Valparaiso, but
Secretary Tracy said 1t contained no in
