CHILL GETTING READY.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-It can
not be learned that any communica
tions have passed this morning De
tween the state department and
Minister Egan nor was the Chiliar
minister at the department. Several
senators and representatives called
upon Secretary Blaine this forenoon.
One Of the former said he heard
nothing directly from the secretary
relating to Chill, but he knew this
country should now assert its dig
nifty and spank the bumptiOus little
South American republic. The re
ported preparations of the Chilian
government for war though lacking
official confirmation in all its details
yet IL Is viewed with with deep con-
cern at the navy department. The
reported dispatching Of fleet Of
three cruisers and torpedo boats
from Valparaiso under sealed
orders, which was reported from
Chill through private sources yestCr.
day IL is thought will be for the
purpose of guarding the straits Of
Magellan which are regarded TO IA
certain extent as the gateway to
Chill. The theory is that II is the
desire Of the Gillian government 10
afford ample protection to ils
important cal supply station at
Port CabelO In the straits. The
capture of this station would be a
serious blow to Chill aud might
ultimately be made the object Of n
campaign in southern waters In case
Of hostilities.
MUST APOLOGIZE OR FIGHT.
WASHINGTON, Jan. l6.-It Is the
understanding now that President
Harrison's message on the Chilian
aff lir will go to congress about next
Wednesday. The full report of
Judge Advocate General Remy's
investigation at Mare Island will
probably reach Washington on
Monday or Tuesday and will be APP
pended TO the message of the presi-
dent. II will bring out evidence
tending to show that the attack on
the Baltimore's nsen was premedi-
tated, and that the policemen par
ticipated in 1t. The message will be
accompanied by number of photos
showing the streets In which the
assaults took place, In widely separ-
ated parts Of the city. These photos
will show that the seamen were not
all attacked In disreputable parts of
the town, but that some Of them
were set npon In the most res
pectable part OF the town, where 1t
Is highly improbable that American
,eamen would have started row,
syen If they had been drunk 30
.arly In the day. The evidence will
ihow that the attacks were all sim
lltaneous and that some OF the men
attacked were more than two miles
rom their companions. The con-
pirators seem to have agreed that
t given hour the American sea
nen were to be attacked wherever
hey could be found. Nothing can
'e definitely learned as to the time
jhlll will be allowed in which to
,nswer ultlmatum OF the United
states, but it Ia generally believed
hat from seven to fourteen days
will be allowed,
COAL no CHILI.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. l6.-The
'ollier San Mateo has been chartered
o take coal from Nanaimo to Chilli.
The captain of the collier states the
United States government has char.
cred the vessel and has ordered him
% rush his cargo through as rapidly
Is possible. The vessel will leave
his port for Nanaimo today. The
san Mateo can carry a cargo of over
1000 tons, and can steam nearly
welve knots an hour, so that II will
rot take many days to make the
rip.
