- SANTIAGO, Tuesday, Jan. 26.-The
ChIlean Cabinet is still discussing the re-

which it is expected viii be as conciIia,

ministers themselves failed to settle. to
arbitration by the United States Supreme
Court. Nothing, however, is yet def

American cruisers coming from the At

one OF the many phases through which

1t IS confidently affirmed that the
Chilean Foreign Minister, in accordance
with decision arrived at by President
Montt and the Cabinet, and after consult
ing with the Council of State, has replied
TO the american ultimatum in terms
which will satisfy the President and Gov

disparity between the forces of the two
powers, 1t would seem that Chile had no
other resource left them than to make

FOREIGN PRESS COMMENT.
LONDON, Jan. 26.-Commenting on
President Harrison's Chile message. the
81. James Gazette says the whole dispute
is an example OF the difficulties conse-
quent upon the subservience of poll
tlcIans to the Irish vote. The paper de-
nounces Egan at great length. and in
most severe terms, and says that had the
United States been represented in Sam
tlago by a gentleman of the stamp of
FheiPs, Lincoln or Dana, the trouble
would not have happened
The Globe says that President Harri
sons ultImatum is covered with spread
eaglelsm; that he makes out as Door a
case for war as any nation ever advanced.
Chile would hold her own for a lone time
IN a purely naval war, but only one
ending would be possible. No doubt
the perception of that fact influenced
Chile in her quick submission. and Presi~
dent Montt was well advised to eat leeIl.
although he had strong temptation TO
DEFY the United States, in the knOWIedpa
that such conduct would popularize him
with the Chilean masses, and that the
United States could do nothing to exact
PREPARATION. Fortunately there does not
appear to be any further danger of strife
between the two nations, whose real in
terests are identical. The Globe says the
quarrel was chiefly due to Egan.
A CORRESPONDENTS VIEWS.
LONDON, Jan. 26.-The Chronicle this
morning publishes an article from an
American correspondent bearing on the
difficulty between the United States and
Chile. The writer says that he is not an
admlrer OF Secretary Blaine, but has
known him many years. and has come to
recognize his strength OF character and
appreciate the dangerous control he exer-
cIses over the American people. The
correspondent declares that when Rlaina
hurried to Washington two months aro
he pretended that he was in favor Of
policy OF peace, but in reality he onIv
wanted Tune. he knew a sudden war
between the United States and Chile
would mean defeat, perhaps disastrous.
for his country, which would be followed
by wave OF adverse public opinion.
which would sweep him and his party
out of power. When Blaine arrived nj
Washington he proceeded to order war
material and supplies shipped to San
Francisco: Although Brooklyn and
Philadelphia are the most puritanical
cities in the Union, the workmen en-
ployed in the navy yards of these places
were kept working Sundays without in
PERMISSION.
The Secretary of State also superseded
the drawlng-rOom Admiral Walker by
the eating Gherardi. The opposition
party did not dare object TO these self
evident designs, and never demanded
that the Chilean correspondence be made
public. A war with Chile, followed by
occupation of that country for
some years, would give American mer-
chants a chance to capture the trade, and
would please Blaine, who complained
that the new American tariff had not
made new markets. Once established in
South America, it would be easy to find
excuses to remain there, and it is possible
revolution would break out in every
South American republic, which would I
endanger immense English Investments
in these countries. In conclusion the
correspondent says: Blaine wants and
means to quarrel. He is ambitions. and
knows how to tiatter vanity and love of
Americans for the almighty dollar. II
England desires to avoid war, She had
better counsel Chile to submit to the de-
mands of the United States"
