Chill Notified that Her Apology Il Ample
No Demand for Salute to tho Flag.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1. - Secretary
Blaine has sent cable message to
Minister Egan, instructing him to in
form the Cbilian government that its
proposition for settlement of the
difference between the two gov
ernments made in response
to the ultimatum of the 21st
instant, is satisfying to the president
of the United States, as indicating
good prospect that the controversy can
now be adjusted on terms satisfactory
to this government by the usual dlplo-
matte methods The telegram makes no
request or suggestion of any kind what
ever for a salute by Chill to the
American flag. There was nothing
said at Fridays cabinet meeting
on this subject, and there is
no reason to believe that this
government will require such a
salute from Chill, 1t is very possible,
however, that Chill will on her own ac-
cord perform this graceful act at the
termination of the diplomatic adjust
mcnt of all difficulties which is now in
progress.
The following is the text of the cable
| message sent by Secretary Blaine ac-
cepting Chili's proposition for settles
ment of the differences between the
two governments:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE WASHINGTON, Jan.
| 80, lS02.-To Egan, minister, Santiago: 1 am
| directed by the president to acknowledge the
| receipt OF Senor Pcrcira's dispatch OF the 25th
| inst. 1t has been communicated to congress,
| u OILY an
| the United States and to the executive depart
ment, as II restores the correspondence between
| the two republics to n basis of cordiality and
| makes as he believes, q full and honorable ad-
justment CT all unsettled matters easily attain
| able.
\ "The president notes with qualification the
| expressions of regret for the condemnation of
| the assault upon the sailors OF the Baltimore,
| offered by Mr.. Pcreira, and congratuates the
| Chilian government upon the frank and ample
| withdrawal of the Malta circular and upon the
spirit of justice displayed towards Minister
Egan. You will assure the Chilian government,
| that the president will be glad to meet in the
most generous spirit these friendly overtures
| believing that the subject of reparation for
assault upon the seamen of the Baltimore is
how capable of adjustment between the two
| governments by the usual diplomatic methods
| the president proposes for the present any dis
cusSiop of the suggestions made by Scnor Pc
rra as to the use OF other methods, moi doubt
ing that the of justice of Chill will enable
the two governments to speedily and honorably
make full end of the whole matter. BLAINE"
AS to the amount to be paid to the
relatives of Riggiu and Turnb bull, the
sailors who were killed, the Chilian
government may find, when it comes tc
investigate the matter, that in
several states of the union the
enlightened Judgment of the
people speaking through theil
legislatures has fixed the limit that
may be recovered for damages il
case of death at 5000. In the matter
of injury, however, the limit of dam
ages lies within the province of tn,
petit jury. Patrick Shields, the sailo
on the keweenaw, who was also Il vic
tim of Chilian violence in Valparaiso
has filed by his attorneys Il claim fo
$50, 900 damages, which the attorne.
asks the state department to collect.
