HER RESPONSE TO THE ULTlMATUM

viii withdraw the Malta Circular and
Acknowledge II to be an Error of Judg-
ment-Wants the Baltimore Incident
Referred to Arbitration or the United
States Supreme Court.

SANTIAGO, Jan. 26.--The Gillian govern
ment has sent reply to the ultimatum OF
the United States. The reply is in effect as
follows:
Chill agrees to withdraw the offensive
note sent out by Senior Malta to all the
Chiian minister's abroad, and acknowledge
that its issuance was an error OF judgment.
Chilli also withdraws its request for the
withdrawal Of Minister Egan.
The Gillian government also proposes
that the affair OF the attack on the Balti-
mores sailors in Valparaiso be submitted to
the arbitration of some neutral nation. If
this proposition is not acceptable to the
United states government, the Chilian gov
ernnlunt suggests that the matter be sub
mitted to the decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States.

In Response to AN inquiry by taxpsy er
why the school tax in certain district IN
ueishhoring town was so large, tho collector
replied; This tax is larger that 1t needed
to have been, but our committee being an
ignorant man he could not figure just what
WAS required. We hope the tax will be
smaller next year. -
This is encouraging as far as it goos, but
much would seem to depoud on whether the
voters re-elect the present committee. Per-
haps another man, equally ignorant, can be
found. 1t is small wonder that the cause
OF education does not progress faster when
schools are managed by men who are tod
ignorant to DO simple problem in arith'
metic.
