Latest Advices from Washington Indi
cate That the ChiIian Situation is Be
coming Very squalIy-Congress Ma,
Take Hand in the Matter.
WASHINGTON, Dec 29-There are studied
efforts making in various quarters to make
1t appear that there is no serious aspect to
the Chilian difficulty. At the state and
navy departments those who understand
the situation are very much concerned as
to the events which are likely to occur
within the next few days. The secret and
confidential dispatches. which Minister
Egan has conveyed to the government con
cerning the conditions which surround
him indicate that the authorities need not
be surprised to learn at any moment that
the legation has been attacked and de
stroyed, the refugees seeking an asylum
there were killed. and the minister driven
to seek shelter in some other legation, if
not murdered himself
The facts have been known to the presi-
dent and secretary of state for several
days, but have been carefully guarded, as
they hope that Minister Egan is unduly
alarmed. AT the same time they are not
Indifferent to the
1OSSlDlntleS OF Sucn q CflSlS.
The Chilian minister is constantly i'm
pressing the secretary of state with his
own idea, that there is no cause for appre-
hension of an open rupture; but, if he is
aware of the critical situation at Santiago
and Valparaiso he very carefully keeps it
from this government. He is engaged in
pursuing policy of delay, which to the
authorities here is very ominious,
Unless there is very decided change in
the aspect of affairs brought about within
few days by the establishment of the
new government in Chilli, which has just
gone into operation the president inn
mediately upon the re-assembling of con-
gress, will transmit his proposed special
message, in which he will detail the facts
in the case. He will call attention to the
duty of the government to defend the
honor of the country and the lives of its
citizens, and will leave it to congress to
determine whether to declare war or to
submit to continued insults.
Arbitration Not Likely.
Around the state department little con
fidence is put in the report that Chill will
ask to have the controversy settled by ar
bitration. AT least that is not a probable
ity of the near future. Before such step
would be reached, in the progress of nego-
tiatiops between the two nations, thor
oughly committed to arbitration, long
way must be traversed. And Chili's record
is not such as to warrant the basing of
lively hopes thereon. In the international
American conference, it will be remem-
bered, Chili's delegates voted against the
proposed agreement to settle troubles by
arbitration; and that the country has
taken no steps to place herself in line
with other American nations on this sub
ject. 1t is the impression among officials
that Chilli will either apologize or fight.

expressing regret at his inability to be

The subject is of unusual Importance to the
future welfare of all our countrymen, as well
IN Vermont in the arid regions of our coun-
try. | have seen in Europe much OF the al
most remediless evil Of the stripping OF hill
and mountain sides of their forests, great or
small, and have seen in our temperate and
well-watered climate of Vermont how great
has been the loss from timber and wood cut
ting merely for the timber and wood without
reference to the inevitable consequence in
reference to floods, washing away of soils, dry
ing up of springs and turning the face Of
otherwise beautiful nature into deserts So
am deeply interested in what the association
is trying to do. The devastation of dozen
years can hardly be repaired in half a century,
and so every energy of reason and persuasion
ought to be brought to bear upon the public
intelligence to avert the evils that so seriously
threaten large parts of the Republic from the
destruction of the forests.
