Blount said while his committee was in
session yesterday word was received from
the PRESIDENT that dispatch had just been
received from Chilli but was not translated,
ana they did not know it's contents. On
account of the message, that committee ad-
Journeo until to-day. AS it stands now,
there Is nothing for the committee on for
eign affairs to do
The manner of Blount showed the pleas
ure he felt at the news communicated to
MIN by Secretary Blaine, with authority
Ior MIN (BIounV to repeat it to such per-
sons as he saw fit.
1t is known McCreary, of Kentucky, an
other member of the committee, when
seen, said: "Eyerything is much brighter
now"
Hit, Republican member of the com
mlttee. said the situation looks great deal
better and the dispatch received puts the
trouble in
A VERY SATISFACTORY SHAPE
other members of the House who were
seen, showed the feeling of relief they felt
at the outcome OF the trouble
In The Senate, also, members of the for
elgn relations committee gave evidence of
satisfaction. The committee had placed
the paddock of absolute secrecy on all it's
proceedings, but that had been taken from
them and the grave responsibility of de-
ciarlng war. and that practical solution
OF the controversy had been reached, con-
slstent with the dignity and self-respect of
the United States.
Senator Hoar said it was a subject of
much congratulation to the American peo-
pie, and he thought the matter was now
ended. Egan's dispatch was received yes
terday, and in addition to what was already
known indicated that Chill was willing to
APOLOGIZE FOR THE malta
note, which had been one of the worst feat
ures of the controversy, but that what
Egan said was not in all respects satisfac-
tory. 1t Is believed that Egan's message
was one transmit ting the CHILEAN govern
ments reply and giving the substance of
Inc concessions made. For this reason
Egan's message may not have been full
enough IN statements to thoroughly make
clear the force of Pereira's answer
Inc dispatch containing the reply of
Senior Pereira, Chilian minister of foreign
affairs, is very long and the translation was
not completed until to-day 1t is said to be
a frank and splendid document, breathing
throughout the spirit of friendship and
good will to the United States. Nothing
whatever is left of the Malta note, which
Is not only withdrawn but apoligized for.
Inc most sincere regret is ex-
pressed for the Baltimore incident,
and the offer to refer to the supreme
court is said TO be evidence of Chili's
tr1andlU TOW NJ
IL Is said the whole tone of the document is
apparently sincere, friendly and manly,
and leaves the matter in such shape it is
hardly possible it can fail to bring the two
countries closer together and result in
AN AMIcABLE ADJUSTMENT OF THE WHOLE
DIFFICULTY.
In effect it says regarding the Gillian hate
Tor the American uniform, too well does
she remember that flag and uniform in her
ports and harbors aiding in her struggle for
independence (referring to Chili's struggle
years ago to achieve independence.
The prospect of war it is thought, is
now over, and while considerable remains
to De done before the controversy in its
entlre:y can be closed and be simply mat
ter OF history, yet the affair is in such
shape as to bring the nations closer To-
gether and make further prosecuting in the
matter comparatively easy of adjustment
" GU mean that the apology was amplew
asked Congressman Springer, who was
among the little cotorie of Congressmen
gathered around during Blount's state
ment.
No, do not say that in so many words
L mean simply so far as the gu. stion is
concerned there ia complete compliance
with our wishes as expressed in the final
state department document. To withdraw
the request for Minister Egan's withdrawal
and to speak of the Malta note rs an error
of Judgment shows they are
WILLING TO MEET AMERICAN DEMANDS
"But what about the apology we de-
manded" again Interrupted a member
IL cannot say 1t is said in specific form.n
replied MIR. Blount, but the whole arQu
ment, action and declaration of feeling and
regret, the action taken by the govern
ment to have the the guilty parties ar
rested, all these illustrations are given az
to their feelings in the attempt to exhaust
the IDEA there was any hostile feeling
toward the United states. MIR. Blaine
seemed so much elated over the dispatch
as to regard 1T as an assurance of an end of
the controversy. While the apology NAV
not be put In diplomatic language the
dispatch is as just, ample and full of
regret as could be. The administration
would not have a straw to stand on if if
CouUluueu W Hdhe demands with that dis
patch in its face. But l have no idea thew
are going to force it any further. No one
can read that entire correspondence, gem
tlemen, without feeling the utmost SYM
pathy and almost humiliating attitude of the
Gillian government. Mr.. Blaine informed
me the President would send Chili's an
swer in to-day or to- morrow
Cable, of Illinois, q member of the for
elgn affairs committee, said: ''I am glad at
the satisfactory turn matters have taken
and think it now time Tor the great Ameri-
can nation to be generous. Principle is
what we were after and that having been
conceded, we will be TOO liberal, / am sure
to impose undue financial penalties on orr
already bankrupt sister republic"
Private Secretary Halford said TONIGHT
the additional correspondence would be
sent to Congress tomorrow. 1t will he
comparatively brief. II will not aggregate
more than about two thousands words.
The President will make reply to Chilli
and then communicate the CHILEAN message
and his reply to Congress.
