 BLAINE's LATTER TO CHILL. Text of the Message Accepting That
 Republics Proposition for Settle-
 ment of the Differences Between
 the Governments.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The following is the text of the message sent by MT. Blaine accepting Chili's proposition for settlement of the differences between the governments:
 DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
 WASHINGTON, January 30, 1892.
 Egan, Minister, Santiago:
 l am directed by the president to &C., knowledge the receipt of Senor, Pereira's dispatch of the 25th inst. It has been communicated to congress and has given great pleasure to the people of the United States and to the executive department, as it restored the correspondence between the two republics to basis of cordiality and makes, as he believes, @ full and honorable adjustment of all unsettled matters easily attainable. The president notes with qualification the expressions of regret for and condemnation of the as- sault upon the sailors of the Baltimore, of fered by MT. Pereira and congratulates the Chilian government upon the frank and ample withdrawal of the Matta circular and upon the spirit of justice displayed toward Minister Egan. You will assure the Chilian government that the president will be glad to meet in the most gener ous spirit these friendly overtures. Be- lieving that the subject of reparation for the assault upon the seamen of the Baltimore is now capable of adjustment between the two government ts by the usual diplomatic methods the prssi- dent postpones for the present any dis cussion of the suggestions made by Senor Pereira as to the use of other methods; not doubting that the sense of justice of Chili will enable the two governments to speedily and honorably make a full end of the whole matter.
