WASHINGTON, Feb Secretary
Blaine has sent cable message to
Minister Egan, instructing him to in
form the Gillian government that its
proposition for settlement of tho
difference between the. two gov
, ernments made in - response
to the ultimatum Of the 21st
; instant, is satisfying to the president
of the United States AS indicating q
good prospect that the controversy can
now be adjusted on terms satisfactory
to this government by tho usual dlplo-
matte methods The telegram makes no
request or suggestion of any kind what
ever for salute by Chilli to tho
American flag: There was nothing
! said at Fridays cabinet meeting
on this subject, and there is
no reason to believe that this
government will require such q
salute from Chilli 1t is very possible,
however, that Chilli will on her own &C.
cord perform this graceful act ut the
termination of the diplomatic adjust
ment of all difficulties which is NOW in
progress.
The following is the text of the cable
message sent by Secretary Blaine &C
| cepting Chili's proposition for settle
ment of the differences between the
| two governments:
"DEPARTAENr OF STATE, WASHINGTON, Jan.
| 20, 1602.-To Egan, minister, Santiago: I am
directed by the president to acknowledge the
receipt of Senior Pereira's dispatch OF the 25th
inst. 1t has been communicated to congress,
and has given great pleasure to the people Of
the United States and to the executive depart
ment, as it restores the correspondence between
the two republics to q basis of cortiality and
! makes, as he believes, q full and honorable ad-
| justment OF all unsettled matters easily attain
! able.
1.-The president notes with qualification the
expressions of regret for the condemnation of
| the assault upon the sailors of the Baltimore,
| offered by Mr.. Pereira, and congratulate the
Ch1llan government upon the frank and ample
| withdrawal OF the Malta circular and upon the
| spirit OF justice displayed towards Minister
Egan. You will assure the Gillian government
that the president will be glad to meet in the
most generous spirit these friendly overtures.
Believing that the subject of reparation for
assault upon the scamen of tho Baltimore Ia
now capable OF adjustment between the two
governments by the usual diplomatic methods
the president proposes for the present any dis
| cussiop OF the suggestions made by Senior Pc
rira as to the use Of other methods, not doubt
ing that the sense of justice Of Chilli will enable
the two governments to speedily and honorably
| make full end OF the whole matter. BLAINE.'
AS to the amount to be paid to the
| relatives of Riggin and Turn bull, the
| sailors who were killed, the Gillian
government may find, when it comes to
investigate the matter, that in
! several states of the union tho
enlightened judgment of the
people speaking through their
legislatures has fixed the limit that
may be recovered for damages in
case of death at $4,000. In the matter
of injury, however, the limit of dam
ages lies within the province of the
petit jury: Patrick Shields, the sailor
on the Keweenaw. who was also VIC
tim of Gillian violence in Valparaiso,
has filed by his attorneys q claim for
$50, 900 damages, which the attorney
asks the state department to collect.
