DELAWARE GAZETTE STATE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., DE

are now bringing every argument to bear
to prevent hostilities, and if war is yet
avoided it will be largely due to
the advice of these two powers and
to realization that war can
not but result disastrously for Chill.
This latter consideration is known to have
had great effect upon Minister Mont. who
has given the impression in official circles
that personally he favors peace ut any
price for Chill. His visits to the shipyards
and steel works throughout the country
have been very instructive, and he, ut
least, realizes that it is folly for his govern
ment to hope to defeat the United States.
He is still keeping well informed on the
progress being made by the United States
in preparing for war, and in every place
he visited he employed an agent TO keep
close watch and report TO him regularly
the progress made and the commencement
of all new undertakings. Minister Mont,
of course transmits all this information TO
to his government at once, and much more
is known at Santiago about the prepara-
tons for war than is known to the general
public in this country.
THE MESSAGE POSTPONED.
There are strong reasons to believe that
the correspondence between the United
States and Chill has taken favorable
turn, although the most diligent inquiry
fails to secure any official confirmation Of
the receipt of dispatches of peaceful
tenor, and on the other hand, one member
of the cabinet this afternoon declared that
there was no change in the situationn
The cabinet did not pursue the discussion
after Secretary Blaines retirement from
the meeting, so that any dispatches he may
have had in his possession could not be
fully considered at that time. 1t is under
stood, however, that the subject will be
taken up at the point where its discussion
was interrupted when tine cabinet meets
again, which may be tomorrow, and
meantime the correspondence will be
withheld from Congress. II is learned
| officially tonight thai the President $ mes
sage on this subject will not be sent to
Congress tomorrow While official infor-
nation on this point does not extend be-
| You'd tomorrow, there are strong surface
indications that the President has practi-
eally determined to postpone final action
on this matter until next week, and this
gives color to the belief that conciliatory
dispatches have already been received and
that more are expected. 1t is known that
the President would strongly indorse any
proposition for settlement of the ques-
tons at issue on a peaceful basis CON
sistent with the honor and dignity of the
| nation.

TERRIEIC EXPLOSION


CATTLEsBURG, KY, Jan. 1S.-The
Phoenix powder mills, at Kellogg, w.
Va, blew up with terrific force at s
o'clock this morning, instantly killing
five men and so badly injuring two
more that they are not expected to live.
The killed are Archie S. Livingstone.
Ed. Winton, John Benton, Charles
Scott and John Schuster.
The injured are Ed Cook and Joe
Grouse, fatally burned; Reese Estep.
burned; John Justice, struck by timber
Charles Melley, cut on the head.
A number of others We're injured, but
they were able to go TO their homes.
The explosion took place first in the
glazicr and was followed Immediately
by the two wheel mills, magazine and
canning mill, all Of which are totally
demolished.
The other buildings that vet arc
standing are badly torn up and the
machinery greatly damaged. The entire
field Is covered with debris so thicklv
strewn that one cannot step but on it.
Among this debris were found the
mangled remains that lie in the impro.
vised morgue wholly unidentified. Ii ia
impossible to say Just how many are
killed, but those named above were in The
mill and that leaves no doubt as to their
fate.
1t is estimated that at least 6O.O00
pounds of powder went off. Tho mills
which cost in the neighborhood Of
Sl50,OOO, are damaged at least two-thirds
of that amount.

BLAINE AGAIN ATTACKED.
Seized with n sudden Faintness at His
Home--A Quick Recovery.


WAsHINGToN, Jan. 1S.--Secretary of
State James G. Blaine was overcome by
fainting fit yesterday afternoon about
A o'clock. lie was in his library at tho
time and had been working hard al
day. He fell back in his chair, and
although he did not lose consciousness,
he was so weak that he could not walk
and was carried upstairs by the servants
and laid upon the bed.
His muscles relaxed quickly and he
recovered strength so rapidly that hi
came downstairs in the evening. Hd
was as cheerful as usual, but every
movement was the result Of an obviou,
effort TO maintain himself.
The attack was similar to that which
seized him in the state department, but
it could not have been due to indiges-
ton this time. Whether il was really
apopleptic or merely the result of an
overstrained mentality is wholly a
matter of conjecture.
Nothing happened during the day to
excite him, but on the previous day he
had a vivacious discussion regarding
Chilli and did not rest well Saturday
night.
All that can be learned about the sec
retary's second attack is, that while sit
ting at his desk he complained to SER
want of feeling faint, and had tho
window thrown open to let in the fresh
air.
The servant in some alarm called Mrs.
Blaine to the library, but before she
reached her husband the attack had
passed.
II was succeeded by nausea, which
accompanied his illness two weeks ago,
and Mrs. Blame hastily prepared an
emetic. This, however, the secretary
did not take as the sharp wintry air that
followed in at the window revived him
and dispellcd the nausea.
Mrs. Blaine summoned servant and
| ordered him to go for DR., Hyatt, but Mr..
Blaine protested and appeared so much
| better that the doctor was not called.
This morning, however, Dr. Hyatt Wis
| tied the Blaine residence and saw the
secretary, who was not feeling well
enough to go out.
The doctor and the family have made
every effort TO prevent Mr.. Blaine's i'll.
ness from becoming known. The report
was carried to the state department this
morning, however, and in consequence
of the socretary's failure to appear at
his desk a general feeling of his uneasi-
ness prevailed.
| WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Secretary
Blaine, while at the cabinet meeting to-
day, experienced another attack of in
digestion accompanied with nausea, and
felt so uncomfortable that he left the
meeting about 1918 p. IN. He then
