WASHINGTON. Jan. i5.-The Chilean
situation today practically remains where
1t did three months ago, when on Oct.
10. 1901, the assault upon the Balti-
more's sailors occurred. Chile has made
no apology for the outrage, nor by any
Official act indicated that she intends to
make an apology or reparation.
The action Of the Chilean government
in delaying the tender Of an apology Is
in striking contrast with the action OF
the United States government In the
Malta affair at New Orleans. Within a
week after the occurrence OF the New
Orleans trouble the president, in an
official communication to the Italian
government, characterized the New Or
leans affair as .sdepiorable," and ex-
pressed his regret at its occurrence.
| No such utterances have been received
from Chilean authorities. Their every
utterance has been in the nature OF a
justification of the action of the Chilean
mob. The inquiry instituted by the
Chilean government has appeared to the
j United States government rs having
been conducted with view 70 justify
ing the assault.
The Two Ministers.
It appears to our people that public
sentiment in Chile has been planned TO
increase hostility in the United States.
Public sentiment here has at all times
been well disposed toward Chile. The
contrast between the feeling Of the peo-
pie in the United States and Chile Is
certainly very striking. Senior Montt.
j the Chilean minister, walks about the
streets OF Washington unmolested, al
safe In his person rs any American citi-
zen, while Minister Egan, at Santiago,
remains prisoner in the American lega-
tion. Minister MONT attends at will the
! presidential receptions here, and IN dined
and feted by government officers, while
Minister Egan, for fear of insult, Ia COM
PEELED TO remain from the inauguration
ceremonies Of the Chilean president, and
while no opportunity Is left pass to show
the luminosity Of the Chileans to the
United States, a. evidenced by the 70.
cent stoning of Commander Evans gig
at Valparaiso, no occasion here Is omitted
to show friendly feeling toward thu
Chilean government.
II This state Of affairs three months
after the Chilean outrage upon Amerf.
can sailors, with no apology rendered
, and no intimation that one Is forth
coming, attracts serious attention in
, government circles, and expressions on
all sides are heard that forbearance on
the part of the United States has almost
ceased to be virtue.
h Wants TO Avoid War.
II WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.--Mr. Martin
of Indiana, evidently Is not anxious "a
see the United States 20 20 war with
Chile. Yesterday he introduced a FONT
resolution in the house looking to means
, for adjustment of international disputes
without resort to war. The resolution
authorizes the president to open negoti.
ations through the ordinary channels
with foreign nations for adoption Of
some just international agreement for
the creation of aproper tribunal wherein
disputesl between nations may be honor
b ably adjusted. Whenever the president
has secured the consent Of other M
tons to the consideration Of the estab-
lishment of q peaceful tribunal for HI
justment Of international disputes. he
Is authorized to invite such other
nations to appoint representative
70 meet like representatives Of
the United States in an international
conference empowered to discuss and
recommend some means to adjust inter-
national disputes peaceably. Their rec
concentrations are to be submitted to
