TO BUILD A RAILWAY.
CHILE WILL CONNECT VAL
 PARAISO WITH IQUIOUE.
Full Text of the Answer Submitted NIT. Blaine to the Reply of Minister Pcirera-Citizens Pleased With the Status of Affairs.

PARIS, Feb. 2.-One immediate result of the recent trouble between the United States and Chile is that the lat ter country, feeling how defenseless it would have been in the event of the United States landing troops at Iqui- que, has taken steps to secure a loan of s5,0Oo,OOO sterling 1925, ,000, ,o0o) to be applied to building railroad from Valparaiso to Iquique, distance of 1000 miles. The line is to pass through Coquimbo, Taltal, Chimba. Cobija, To- copilla. and other towns along the coast. The government has had a practical experience of the necessity for this railway, as it was frem Iquique that was conducted the revolt against Balmaceda. As the Congressionalists had the navy on their side Balmaceda was unable to get at them, as it was impossible to march an army across the arid desert separating Iquique from the rest of the country. As the loan exceeds the estimates for the new line the surplus will be expended in improving the navy and restoring the finances of the country to a sound basis. The loan will be foated in the London, Berlin and Amsterdam mar kets, where it will doubtless readily be taken up.
 LONDON, Feb. 1.-The Santiago cor respondent of the Times says: Public opinion here is satisfied with the pro- ceedings of the Government in the dis pute with the United States. The press leaves it to the United States and other nations to judge the rights and wrongs of the dispute. Interest now centers on the precedent which the United States is preparing to solemnly lay down for itself, and in the question whether it's further demand would be such as it itself would be prepared to concede under similar circumstances.
