WASHINGTON, Jan. 3I.-Following is
the text of the cable sent by Secretary
Blaine accepting Chile's propositions Tor
E settlement of the difficulties:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
WASHINGTON, January 30th.
Eg0n, Minister, Santiago: / am di-
rected by the President to acknowledge
the receipt of Pereirra's dispatch of the
18th inst. 1t has been communicated to
Congress, and has given great pleasure to
the people of the United States, and to
the Executive Department, as it restores
correspondence between the two coun-
tries TO basis of cordiality, and makes,
as he believes, full and honorable adj
justment of all the difficulties easily at
tainable. The President notes with graft
1ication the expressions Of regret tor and
condemnation of the assault upon the
sailors of the Baltimore, and congratu-
Lates the Chilean Government upon the
frank and ample withdrawal Of the Malta
circular, and upon the spirit of justice
displayed toward Egan.
ou will assure the Chilean Govern
lnent that the President will be glad to
meet in most generous spirit these
friendly overtures. Believing the sub
Ject Of reparatiOn for assault upOnt he sail
ors now capable of adjustment by the
usual diplomatic methods, the President
postpones for the present any discussion
of the suggestion made by Pereirra as to
the use OF other methods, not doubling
that the sense of justice of Chile will ena-
bic the two Governments to speedily and
honorabIy make full end Of the whole
matter. BLAINE.
CHILE WELL PLEASED.
LONDON, Jan. 3l.-A Santiago CORE
spondent of the Times says: ''Public
opinion here is satisfied with the pro-
cedure Of the Government in the dispute
with the United States. The press leaves
ii to the United States and other nations
10 Judge the rights and wrongs of the dis
pute. Interest now centers on the prece-
dent which the United States is preparing
TO solemnlv lay down for herself and in
the question whether her future demand
would be such as she herself would be
prepared to concede under similar cir
cumstances.
Congress has passed bill authorizing
the President to borrow S5,00O,O00 to with
draw the note of dictatorship. The ses-
sion has closed. The Minister of Finance
nforms me that he has arranged to with
: draw the bulk of excess of the fduciary
circulation
BRITISH CRITICISM.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3l.-Smalley, in let
Ter from London to the Tribune says: It
cannot be said that President Harrison's
Chilean message made good imp eSSion
here. Probably a foreign audience was
not what the American President had in
mind when he drew up this document,
nor did he trouble himself about those
conventionalities of European diplomacy
which are commonly respected IN Euro
pean State papers Neither the form nor
Gylh of iS in,
England. People here even say that the
Presidents language is wanting in deli
cacy. They put their critical fingers on
such words as wantonness, brutal, cow
ardly, atrocious, grossly, insulting. They
appeal to the President against himself,
quoting with approval his remark that the
dignity of the Government should not
be sacrificed.
The triple -barreled epithets, remarks
one journal sententiously, prove nothing.
The first ofthis kind came from America
london was told by New York that
Chlle's. acquIeScence, published simulta-
0eously with the President's threats, put
the President in q ludicrous light; that
the Presidents buster had no effect;
hat his message was so much cam
Daign ammunition" and that all further
objection to Chile's course was lmpoSsi-
Die. There is. L hope, but one American
capable of supplying the British public
~
ment of which this is the latest. There
is, l hope, but one newspaper office from
which they could proceed, and the head
of that is not an American, but a hybrid
American. These patriotic effusions are
welcome to every enemy of America.
The pains to spy out provocation.n
says one critic, adding that there is moth
ing at all convincing, and not much that
IS plausible in the message, II will not
multiply with quotations. The gist of
Them will all be found in the sweeping
condemnation just cited. l abstain from
quoting the effusive comments of less
important papers. 1t is enough to say
that they indulge their dislike to America
by accusing the American President of
after he knew Chile had yielded. The
accusation was offensive. The terms in
which it was presented were as offensive
as the writers knew how to make them.
Not, however, till the Presidents mes
sage reached London was this charge
taken up by the more serious papers,"

Questions Which Win Engage the At
tention of the Two Houses.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3l.-The We'll and
La Abra claims will be brought to vote

Dubois election contest from Idaho will
