UNEASY AND EXCITED.

Chilians Looking Anxiously for Reply
to Pereira's Note.
New YORK, Jan. 29.--The Herald's
Santiago correspondent says there is i'll
tense excitement in that city. and much
anxiety is felt as to the reply Of the
United States to the note sent by Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs Fereira in reply to
the ultimatum. Nothing else has been
discussed in the clubs or on the streets
for the past twenty-four hours. The
supporters of the Balmacedist govern.
ment are Growing over the manner in
which this matter has been conducted
by the present government, and doing
all they can to infame the people.
In Valparaiso the matter is being dis
cussed in calmer manner, merchants
and bankers there generally believing
that peaceful settlement of the pend
ing difficulty will be reached. Intense
excitement prevails over the entire
country, and kilograms from Iquique
and from the North and South province
are arriving, asking II the difficulty has
been settled.
Papers Print Wild stories.
In Santiago and Valparaiso the papers
print the widest stories relative to the
ultimatum, La Union being especially
bitter, calling upon the people to stand
together and uphold the honor of the
country. La Union says in regard to
the story current that the United States
would require salute OF the stars and
stripes: "Our.noble sailors would pre-
fer sinking to the bottom of the sea
rather than to salute the Yankee flag. "
1t is regarded as strange that the ex.
act terms of Chili's reply are not gen.
orally known, and it is thought that the
papers are keeping them back.
La Union prints a letter FROM an En-
glishman advising the severance of al
diplomatic and consular relations will
the United States. A majority of the
intelligent people, however, will lool
upon the withdrawal of the demand OF
the government for the recall of Minis
ter Egan and in regard to an apology
with favor.
Judge Foster promises that he will
finish the cases by Friday. There il

pondence.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The president
has sent the additional correspondence
upon Chilian questions to congress.
The message accompanying the CORES
pondence is a. follows:
To the Senate and House of Representa-
! tives:
I transmit herewith additional cor
respondence between this government
and the government OF Chill, consisting
of q note of Mr.. Montt, the Chilian min
lister at this capital, to Mr.. Blaine,
dated, Jan. 23; q reply OF Mr.. Blaine
thereto of date Jan. 81; and dispatch
from Mr.. Egan, our minister ct Santi-
ago, transmitting the response of Mr..
Periera, the Chilian minister of for
eign affairs, to the note of Mr.. Blaine on
Jan. 81, which was received by me ON
the 26th inst.
The note Of Mr.. Montt to Mr.. Blaine,
though dated Jan. %, was not delivered
at the state department until after IL
o'clock meridian of the 25th and was
not translated and it's receipt notified to
me until late In the afternoon of that
day.
The response of Mr.. Periera to our
note of the 21st withdraws, with accept
able expressions of regret, the offensive
note Of Mr.. Malta Of the 1lth ult., and
also the request for the recall of Mr..
Egan. The treatment of the incident OF
the assault upon the sailors of the Balti-
more is so conciliatory and friendly that
am of the opinion that there is good
prospect that the differences
growing out of that serious affair, can
now be adjusted upon terms satisfactory
to this government, by the usual meth
DDS, and without special powers from
congress. This turn in the affair is very
| gratifying TO me, as / am sure it will be
to the congress and our people. Ths
general support of the efforts OF The
executive to enforce the just right oi
the nation in this matter has given ar
instructive and useful illustration of the
unity and patriotism of our people.
Should it be necessary, will agar
communicate with congress upon the
subject. BENJAMIN HARRISON.

PERElRA'S ANSWER.

The Chiiian Foreign Minister Makes an
Apology.
The correspondence mentioned by the
president in his message follows. First
was Chili's answer to the ultimatum
dated Jan. 26, and received at the state
department ut y a. IN. Jan. 26. 1t was
transmitted by Egan and was copy of
Foreign Minister Pereira's answer to
Secretary ..Blaine's ultimatum. After
acknowledging the receipt OF Mr..
Blaine's note the foreign minister quotes
the substance of the ultimatum and con-
tinues with the following language:
Without any intention of opening dis
cussion az to the facts referred to by the
communication, which l have extracted,
and confning himself to the first part of
the instructions Of the honorable secretary
of state, the undersigned must state to
your excellency the regret with which the
government of Chilli sees that his excel
lency, the president of the United States,
finds reason to continue to regard the Incl
dent of Oct. 10 as an attack caused by a
hostile feeling towards the uniform of the
navy of the United States. That unfor-
tunate occurrence took place on a sudden,
in district where the sailors of the ves-
sells lying in the bay of Valparaiso are In
the habit of assembling, without dis
tinction of nationality.
From the nature of the incident it would
be impossible to prove that there was no
doubt as to the special cause which served
as its origin or pretext. But the under
signed can assert that that cause was not
a hostile feeling towards the uniform of
the navy of the United States, because the
people of Chilli have always
Estesmed and Respected That Uniform
ever since the time when it saw it figuring
honorably in the ranks of soldiers and
sailors in great struggle which gave it
independence and established the repub-
lie. The undersigned admits that the oc-
currence of Oct. 16 was of greater gravity
than those which usually occur in the
same district between the sailors which
frequent it, and the fact of Knowing that
two deaths have resulted from it among
the sixteen wounded men of the Balti-
more, has sufficed to give an extraordi-
nary character and to induce the govern
ment of Chill to hasten to adopt the meas
ures necessary to discover and punish the
guilty parties, to offer in due time, If there
should be ground for SO doing, reparation
as might be due.
The preliminary examination was com
menced on the morning which followed
the night OF the conflict some days before
you presented your complaint. But the
Investigation could not be finished with
the rapidity which the government of
Chill desired, because the rules OF pro-
ceedure in criminial matters which are
established by our laws are OF slow Appli-
cation, and it was not possible for the
president to modify or set them aside.
This delay, which was inevitable owing to
the independence with which the judicial
authorities must act, has compelled the
government of the undersigned to delay.
greatly to its regret, the settlement Of the
difficulty pending with your government
and spontaneous offer of reparation for
any injury done TO the sailors OF the Balti-

II desire to say that 1 and every
member of the senate, / believe, will
heartily concur in the congratulations
over the hopeful and honorable settle
ment to both parties of this unfriendly,
unpleasant incident"
These remarks were received with
signs of acquiescence. Mr.. Chandler
asked that the communication from Mr..
Egan to secretary Blaine be also read,
stating that it was not long. Mr.. Egan's
dispatch, with its enclosure from the
Chilian minister of foreign affairs, was
read by the chief clerk, and then, with
out further comment. the senate pro-
ceeded to routine business.

Capt. Forrest is very feeble, but
we hope to see him we'll and jovial

Mr.. EDITOR: The oat crop in
this section is better than it has
been for several years; most of
the crop has been cut.
The anti-Tillmanites talked
right smart after the March con-
vention, and worked hard to get
Sheppard delegates to represent
them in the Convention at Edge
field, but since the State Conven-
tion in Columbia the antis have
very little to say. Some of them,
though, say this much, that they
believe Gov. Tillman will beat Mr..
Sheppard for Governor. Yes, and
the way everything indicates now
he will beat him bad. Mr.. Shep.
pard would make good Governor,
and had he waited two years long
er Edgefeld might have had the
Governor four more years.
The friends Of Mr.. D. A. G..
QUITS, of this section, would like
to have the pleasure of supporting
him for the Legislature. Mr..
QUITS is young man we'll quail
flied and with the ability to serve
the people of Edgefeld, with honor
to himself and to the welfare of
the county. He is a member of
the Alliance and believes that it
is within the province of true
Democracy to run the government,
SO that equal rights will accrue to
all, special privileges guaranteed
to none. D. A. G.. QUITS stands
where he has always stood, on the
principles of the 1890 March Con-
vention, and will battle to the
best of his ability to have those
demands executed and made the
law of the State. He is an ardent
supporter of Tillman for Governor
and did as much to insure his
election two years ago as any man
in the State. His success in in.
auencing the Charleston World to
support Tillman is alone sufficient
to commend him to the good peo.
pie of the State. His friends here
are anxious to have him enter the
race and pledge him their hearty
support. REFoRMER.

to the depth of ten inches. Traffic
is almost suspended, and the
temperature has fallen below the
