No Demand for a salute to the Flag.
WASHINGTON, Feb. |. - Secretary
Blaine has sent cable message to
Minister Egan. instructing him 10 in
form the Gillian government that its
proposition for settlement OF tho
difference between the two gov
ernments made in response
TO the ultimatum of the 2lst
instant, is satisfying to the president
of the United States, as indicating a
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 salute by Chilli 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 q
salute from Chilli Ii is very possible,
however, that Chilli will on her own ao-
cord perform this graceful act AZ the
termination of the diplomatic adjust
ment of all difficulties which is now in
progress.

As to the amount to be paid To the
relatives of Riggin and Turnbull, the
sailors who were killed, the Gillian
government may find, when it comes to
investigate the matter, that in
several states of the union the
enlightened judgment of the
people speaking through their
legislatures has fixed the limit that
may be recovered for damages in
case of death at s., 200. In the matter
of injury, however. the limit of dam
ages lies within the province of the
petit jury. Patrick Shields, the sailor
on the Keweenaw, who was also VIC
tim of CHILEAN violence in Valparaiso,
has filed by his attorneys a claim for
$50, 900 damages, which the attorney
asks the state department to collect
