WASHINGTON. Jan. 1a-The Chillan negotia-
| lions are at a standstil and have been for sew
eral days. The President and Secretary Blaine
are resting on their oars. hoping and expect
ing that the CHILEAN Government. when its
investigation is completed. will make suit
able apology. II they do not the President
says he will act promptly and effective
ly. He has completed his message to
Congress. 30 far as debating r6sums
OF the entire correspondence is con-
cerned. but he has not yet prepared any por-
| tion OF the recommendation which will accom-
| pany the communication Of this matter It is
given out unofficially that the message will 60
| to Congress on Wednesday. In the mean
| time all is anxiety and SUSPENSE among the
politicians. the officers. and the public gen.
orally at Washington. Navy officers generally
and large body in Congress are confidently
| announcing that war will result. There can
be no doubt that Secretary Tracy and his as
sistants are preparing for such an emergency.
The dispatches sent out from Valparaiso
last night representing That decided inn
| provement had taken place there. and that no
| war talk was heard among those whose opin-
ions have weight with the Government, are
| believed in official circles here to be inspired
| by desire. II possible. to further prolong the
present situation Of affairs. That such is the
| real condition OF sentiment there is not be-
| lieved here. The facts as far rs they are de-
vcloped fatty contradict the statement The
dispatches referred to say:
Notwithstanding the reports sent from
