FOR HARBoK DEFENsEs,

Mounting Big Guns and Surveying Tor
pedo Lines.
While the United States Government was
declaring Itself and Chile was backing and
filling, the War Department officials were
not idle in taking precautions for protec-
tion OF American seaports. San Francisco
has received more attention than any other
city and projected defenses for ths harbor
were well under way. II would require
several years to complete these defenses,
but the foundation for one big 15-inch
r1ed cannon was rushed to completion and
Is now ready to receive the gun when 1t ar
rives from the WateTvliet foundry. Three
Of these guns were started westward Tues
day. 1t is said that proper mounting for
another big gun on the bluff above Fort
Point can be put in readiness within a few
weeks. Some Of the masonry TO protect
these guns Is fully forty feet thick.
Some attention has also been paid to de-
Tending this harbor by means of torpedoes.
Modern hOwitZeTS were in readiness for
mounting in Golden Gate Park.
Colonel Mendell, who has charge of the
harbor defenses. has caused surveys to be
made for the location of two lines Of tor
pedoes to protect the Golden Gate. These
tOrpedoes would be of great value in case Of
an enemy's vessel attempting to enter dur
ing a fog.

WASHINGTON, Jan. q. - Representa-

Committee on Foreign Affairs, called
al the Department Of State and had a chat
with Secretary Blaine on the question Of
submitting TO Congress the reply Of the
Chilean Government 10 the so.called uiti-

correspondence VIII probably be sent to
Congress in a few days" said he.
The prospect Of war, tits thought is now
over, and while considerable remains to be
done before the controversy IN It's entirety
will be closed and become simply matter of
history, yet the affair is IN such shape as to
bring the two nations closer together and
make further proceedings matter Of com
paTatively easy adjustment. You mean
that the apology was ample?" asked Con-
gressman Springer, who was among the lit
tie cOteris Of Congressman who gathered
around during Blouuts statement. "No,

The American People.
Regret for The Baltimore 0utTa5e-ATbitTa-

The Controversy Ended.
Special TO TIE MoRxINs CALI

WAsHINGToN, Jan. 27.-The first cable
message received by the President from
Minister ESan was not. in all respects, sat
isfactoTy l, was lacking in fuuness, and
there were many things in it requiring ad-
diuoual e'uc.dati0n.
Another and later dispatch has now been
received, and its contents are such as to
leave nothing for Congress to do in regard
70 the Presidents Message. It not only
confirms all that was said IN the Associated
Press dispatches, but goes further, and is
couched in the most friendly terms.
The tex, Of tie dispatch received says the
charge that the Caileans entertain a feeling
Of enmity toward the United States and
TO its flag and uniform is utterly false.
The dispatch then says, in order to show
the friendly feeling entertained by the
Chileans for the United States ard. as an
evidence Of their desire to do all that Is pos
sible. they are willing to leave the affair to
the United States Supreme Court
TIE WHOLE MATTER SETTLED.
The whole matter is settled, AMI nothing
but the prelimiuaTies remain to be arranged
The apology made by Chile Is as complete
as it could possibly be. 1t speaks with most
profound regret Of the attack on The Balti-
more sailors, and declares sincere feeling
Of friendship for the United States and pro
found respect for the flag and uniform.
They speak feelngly Of the presence of the
American msn-of-war in their ports during
the revolution and Of the friendly attitude
Of our officers and men at that time. They
say tha {, entertaining the feeling Of friend
ship which they do toward the United
States, 1t would be impossibl5 for them not
TO sympathze with or to fail to feel the most
profound regret for the assault upon the
United States sailors. As an evidence Of their
perfect good faith, they say they propose 10
connection with the complete and humble
apology, that the matter Of rsparatiou Will
be referred 10 the United States Supreme
Court to determine There is no reserve.
It is a complete and Rbject apology and
settles the whole matter.

The Farmers Gain a Victory on the OIea-
margarine Bill.
The farmers and lawyers had a battle In
the House to-day, and the result was a de-
cisive victory for the agrlculturlsts. For
several sessions there has been jealously
between the Judiciary and Agricultura
committees in the matter of oleOmargarine
legislation. To-day it was revived by the
Introduction of a bill by Hatch amending
the present oleomargarine law. Hatch
asked for Its reference to tho Committee on
Agriculture, to which Chairman Culbersou
of the Judiciary Committee objected. The
roll call resulted in victory for Hatch, the
vote being 12S to Is. The purpose of the
bill, said Hatch, is to place oleOmargarina
In original packages in the same legal con-
dition In the States as the Wilson bill
places the sale and distribution of liquors.
The bill provides that all oleomargarins
transported into any State or Territory OK
remaining therein for use, consumption,
sale or storage, shall, upon arrival there, be
subjected TO the laws thereof iu the sams
manner as though such oeOmargariue was
produced In such State or Territory.
Martin Of Indiana presented a resolution
calling on the President to publish ALI
the correspondence had by the United
States Government upon matters concern
ing the Chilean trouble. Referred TO the
Committee on Foreign Affairs.
A number of bills Of little Importance was
introduced and referred.
The House then proceeded to further con-
sderatiOn of the proposed rules.
Hooker OF Mississippi, though in general
advocating the proposed rules, expressed
himself in favor Of a committee OF fifteen to
decide what measures be brought 10 the at
tention OF the House. 1t was too large a
power to vest in the Committee on Rules.
Watson of Georgia took the floor and laid
down the principles Of the Farmers Alliance
party, including the abolition Of national
banks as banks Of issue, free silver, aboli-
tlon OF the alien ownership of lands, the cleo
tion of Senators by the people; that the
Government should issue mOuey to people
who need 1t to perfect their exchanges,
practically free Of cost, and that through
the Sub Treasury plan, or something better,
the people should have the privilege Of the
use Of that money by giving such security
as is considered good in the commercial
world. They demand graduated income
tax, and that no mans business be built up
at the expense of another man. Afteg
further debate the House adjourned.

PARIS, Jan. 27.-Whitelaw Reid, United

to conclude before the end of his ministry.
A representative of the Associated Press

SANTIAGO (Chilel via Galveston, Tex,
Jan. 27.-A special dispatch to the Asso-
cated Press says: The text of Chle's re-
ply to President Harrison's ultimatum has
not yet been made public. 1t is awaited on
all sides with Intense interest The sub
stance of 1t mas already been indicated in
the Associated Press dispatches from here,
and this, as far as learned, meets with gen
eral approval on the part Of the intelligent
classes. The news that President Harrison
sent a special message to Congress on Mon
day relating TO the points at issue between
the United States and Chile, and the dis
patches published here yesterday and to-day
describing the attitude of the American
public toward the matter, have caused no
little popular excitement here. The Baiti-
more incident, the Presidents ultimatum
and message. and the dangerous tension of
the relations between the two governments
are the sole topics of conversation in all cir
cles. They dominate In the newspaper col
umns 10 the virtual exclusion of all other
questions.
WAR PREFERRED.
The younger aud hOtter-headed norton
Of the public continues to indulge in much
war talk. Rather than have the Govern
ment acknowledge the fault or apologize
for its utterances these young patriots de-
clare they would prefer TO see a resort TO
arms. Such talk as this, it is believed, re-
fleets the opinion of large element of the
common people. The naval officers are re-
ported to be much stirred up at the thought
that they may be called upon to salute the
Stars and Stripes, They go so faras 10 say,
according to the reports published in to-
days papers, they would see the Chilean
fleet sunk before they would salute the
American flag.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 27.-Matters in
the famine stricken districts are growing
worse. In many Instances the ignorant
peasantry. exasperated by hunger and sick
ness, have turned against the doctors on
account of the latter's failure to effect cures,
and the physicians are fleeing in terror In
some cases, where Governors Of provinces
have threatened to call out the military to
preserve order, the peasants have plainly
told the Government if the military are

Governors. In some instances the peasants
have attempted to derail passenger trains
by tearing up portions of thestracks. The

'Mr Blaine seemed much elated over the

VALPARAISO, Jan. PA New York
World correspondent interviewed to-day a
prominent American official connected with
the American Legation, who is well posted as
what IS going on here, who confirmed the
statement that Chile's reply to Harrison's s
demand 10 withdraw the Malta note as pub
lCly as it was sent out. apologies for its
language, withdraws its demands for
Egan'S recall and offers to arbitrate the
Baltimore affair. The Indifference, he
said, with which the controversy Is treated
by the Chileans surpaSses belief with the
danger Of war hanging over them. The
papers report the President as 60
ing to the baths at Couquenes.
Congress is preparing to close its session,
and q banquet will be given to Malta next
Saturday. The papers this morning touched
the war question seriously for the first time.
The money market is quiet, and little or no
excitement is apparent. The profound faith
in their war strength is prevalent.
THE ENGLISH INFLUENCE.
The English sentiment is apparent in a
letter printed this m1Tning which SAYS that
the attitude of Chile has been magnifi-
cent; recommends the payment OF an in
demnity as the cheapest way 10 get rid of a
country that has desired 70 destroy Chile
by force; asserts that the Malta note
can be Withdrawn without injury
to Chile's amour propre; holds that
the most convenient way TO settle
the matter would sever ali diplomatic re-
laiious between the two countries 50 that
Chile would not be honored by visits from
Yankee men-of-waT, who send drunken
sailors ashore TO cause a disturbance
and claims thar the object Of this Yankee
buster Is 10 give Iarapaca back to Peru aud
Bolivia IN exchange for commercial
treaties. OF one thing sure you
can be certain regardless how this
matter is settled whether by concession on
Chilr's part, or American severity that will
hulliate Chile. Chieans are sure 10 boast
and g0rify themselves and yllify the Yam
KEGS, and American interests in Chile may
as well pack UP and 90 home.'
