psring for War.
WasTINGroN Jan. 2S.-The mystery sur
,oundipg the Chilean affair was thicker
than ever tonight. Minister Montt is as
,scretive as ever and the President and the
msnbers of the cabinet are more 80. The
refusal to deny rather than any intentions
toc,nfrm the statements which have been
made sustain the belief that Minister Montt
bss presented the long withheld request Of
his government Tor the recall Of Minister
Egsn as persona non grGtd. and that the
administration has met this move with in
sructons to Minister Egan to remind the
Chilean government that this government s
in hurry for an answer. Minister Egan
has not been recalled and the expected
Chilean apology has not been received.
THE MESSAGE TO CONGRESS-.
The 5.000-word message and resume OF
tbe $40, O0-word correspondence and Balti-
nors court Of inquiry proceedings are going
in Monday morning unless something comes
from Chile in the next twenty-four hours to
prsvelG The President believes that the
case vas never more critical, but that it is
still improbable that war will result. Sec
rstsry Blaine still scouts the idea of war
While admitting that the situation is grave,
TRACY LOOKS FOR WAR.
Secretary Tracy, who relies largely on
the cablegrams he receives from Commau-
der Evans of the Yorktown, thinks war Is
not improbable. Commander Evans has
teegrsphed weird accounts Of the hostile
Il feeling Of the Chilean populace and lively
accounts OF tho Chilean preparations for
war With these in his mind it is not
n strange that Secretary Tracy is less hopeful
otpeace than any Of the other members OF
the cabinet
MONTHS INTERVIEW WITH BLAINE.
Thetwo hours interview which Minister
Mont had with Secretary Blaine at the red
house to-day was the most important occur
renee Of the day. Unfortunate tely for the
public neither of the participants has as yet
talked aooutit. except in such guarded way
uatt Is only evident that the whole ground
o. TIE Chilean controversy was gone over.
IleTes no doubt that Secretary Blaine
ald Minister Montt are on very friendly
terms, and that Secretary Blaine would tell
Minister Montt just why President Harrison
would not withdraw Minister Egan now or
later without rendering Minister Montt his
passports
