She Need Not Salute the
Stars and Stripes.
The Apology rendered Con-
sidered Satisfactory.
Formal Notice Given of Its Unqual-
ified Acceptance.
The Outcome of the Affair Greatly
Rejoices the Chileans Min
lister Egan Now Treated
with Courtesy.
Associated Press Dispatches.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Specific in
-quiries as to the truth of the published
statements that this government had
taken the position that Chile must sa-
lutte our flag, elicit positive and au-
thoritative denial OF the most sweeping
character. No demand is made upon
Chile to salute the flag, and the stories
printed this morning as to the alleged
proceedings of the cabinet meeting yes
terday on the whole subject of Chielan
affairs are pre- nounced conjectures and
inventions.
WHAT BLAINE DID CABLE.
Secretary Blaine sent cable to Min
lister Egan this morning instructing him
to inform the Chilean government that
its proposition for settlement of the
difference between the two govern
ments, made in response to the ultima
tum of the 2lst inst, was satisfactory to
the president of the United States,
as indicating a good prospect that
the controversy can now be adjusted
on terms satisfactory to this govern
ment by The usual diplomatic methods.
The telegram makes no request or sug-
gestion of any kind whatever for salute
by Chile to the American flag. There
was nothing said at Yesterdays cabinet
meeting on this subject, and there is no
reason to believe that this government
Will require such a salute from Chile.
NO FEELING AGAINST MoNTT. t
While it is not altogether improbable
that Chile may change her diplomatic
representative at Washington, it is
stated authoritatively that this govern
ment has taken no steps whatever look
ing to that end. That the president
has no i'll feeling against Minister
Montt is shown by the fact that he has
sent him personal invitation to attend
state dinner to be given at the White
House, Tuesday, in honor of the diplo-
matte corps.
BLAINE NOT TO BE DISCIPLINED.
The Post tomorrow will say the story
that Blaine Is to be summoned before
the house committee on foreign affairs
to tell how it happened that there was
so much alleged delay in informing the
president of the reply to the ultimatum,
lis denied by Blount, chairman Of the
committee. II am sure" said Mr..
Blount, "when the president sent the
'mcsSage 10 congress He ala nOG KNOW
that reply to his note to Chile had been
received, nor did anyone else, for, ac-
ocording to the best information have
been able to obtain. Lam convinced the
reply did not come till Tuesday, after
rthe reading of the message in the house.
THE END OF THE CRISIS ANNOUNCED.
LONDON, Jan. 30.--The Times today
publishes a dispatch from Santiago de
Chile, saying that short official dis
patch from Senior Montt, Chilean minis
ter to the United States, was read today
in the senate and the chamber of depu-
ties, confirming the unofficial reports
that the crisis between Chile and the
United States was ended.
The Times dispatch also says that the
message OF President Harrison to the
American congress was read in the lob
bies, but neither the American message
nor the official dispatch of Minister
Montt caused much comment.
GREAT SATISFACTION IN CHILE.
VALPARAISO, Jan. 30.--The United
States acceptance of Chile's reply to
