The situation i'm tennessee.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 16.-Alarm-
ing reports were received from Coal
Creek late tonight. A man in on,
late train says miners to the number of
1000 are assembling on the mountain
overlooking the soldiers camp with a
view of making an attack. At IL 80 the
operator in the camp telegraphed that
many miners were massing on the
mountains and some were forming pick
cts. The camp is in. much confusion,
exp citing an attack, but the men are
prepared to hold the fort. At ipidnight
nothing further was heard.

A Short Cabinet MeetIng.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17..There seems
to be no good foundation for the war
rumors circulated last night. Yester-
days cabinet meeting, instead of being
three hours long, as one of them stated,
lasted but an hour and quarter, and
was one of the shortest for months past.
OF course it was important, as the hill
ian matter was under consideration. but
SO far as can be learned, none ofthe SEN
sational incidents reported occurred.
Both state and navy departments were
in receipts of communications from
Chill this morning, but the officials state
that they contained nothing OF unusual
Importance. The fact that dispatches
were received, however, is satisfactory
evidence that Minister Egan has not
abandoned his post, as telegram. to the
London Times led some persons to i1fer.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 17.-Orders have
been received at the League Island navy
yard to put in proper condition and get
ready for sea the monitor Montauk,
which has been ''laid up in ordinary in
the Delaware river front since 1888. The
Montauk was built during the civil war,
and served during the latter part of that
struggle in the naval campaign on the
Mississippi river. She has Il single re-
volving turret, in which are mounted
two fifteen-inch rifled guns. which are
formidable weapons for use in coast and
harbor defense. It is understood that as
soon as the Montauk's machinery has
been connected and made ready for
operation, similar work.will be done on
the Nahant and Jason.

GETTING THE MONITORS READY.
They Will be Used for Coast Defense in
Case of Troube---The Tennessee
Miners Out Again.

WAsHINGToN, Jan. lit cannot be
learned that any communications have
passed this morning between the state
department and Minister Egan, nor was
the Chilian minister at the department.
Several senators and representatives
called upon Secretary Blaine in the fore
noon. One of the former said that he
had heard nothing directly from the
secretary relating to Chilli, but he knew
this country should now assert its dig
nifty and spank the bumptuous little
South American republic.
The reported preparations of the Chill
ian government for war, though lacking
official confirmation in all the details,
are viewed with deep concern at the
navy department. The reported dis
patching of fleet of three cruisers and
torpedo boats from Valparaiso under
sealed orders, which are reported from
Chill through private sources yesterday,
is thought to be for the purpose of guard
ing the straits of Magellan, which are
regarded to a certain extent as the gate
way to Chill. A comparatively small
number of well-armed vessels advan-
tageously placed in the straits could, in
the opinion of naval experts, hold that
important passage against large feet.
To be sure this would not necessarily
prevent the ultimate rounding of Cape
Horn by an American squadron bound
for Chilli, as two days steaming almost,
would carry the ships into the Pacific by
an outside route. The theory is, how
ever, that it is the desire of the Chilian
government to afford ample protection
to its important coal supply station at
Port Cabello in the straits. The capture
of this station would be serious blow to
Chill, and might ultimately be the OBJ
] ject of campaign in southern waters in
case of hostilities. Secretary Tracy was
in his office all morning seeing members
of congress and other callers. The navy
department was in constant telegraphic
communication with the navy yards and
naval stations in all parts of the country
for several hours last night.

Senator Algers' View >of the Situation.
DETROIT. Jan, 17.-General Alger, in
an interview here today, said:
There is a good deal of Chilian war
talk in Washington and war may be
the outcome of the present situation.
The army and navy naturally favor it
and their influence is felt. War prepar-
ations always excite and enthuse the
masses too, and war policy is apt
to be temporarily popular on that ac-
count. But it seems to me it would be
prudent and proper to send a com mis-
sion to Chill, previous to determine
tion to begin hostilities with the view of
thus securing ample reparation and
avoiding an appeal to arms, which
would sacrifice not less than 10000 lives
and cost 5000, ,OoO, 900. If the commits
sion failed war would be inevitable and
only refer to the appointing of COM
mission as means of honorably avoiding
hostilities. There is one good result of
the war scare, anyway. It has con-
vinced people of the necessity for a
strong navy"
