Special 10 the RECoRD-UNIoN.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The President
to-day concluded his examination of the
diplomatic correspondence in the Chilean
controversy, and sent the documents
back to the State Department. At the
Cabinet meeting to-day he announced
this, and indicated his next step in the
case would not long be delayed. The
whole matter was discussed in a general
way, butsno action was taken, as there is
nothing to be done until the correspond
ence is published.
1t is ascertained the President will ac-
company the transmission of the CORE
spondence by a message on the subject
that will define the attitude of the Ad-
ministration in very positive manner.
The expectation is that he will have the
message ready so that it can be submitted
to the Cabinet at it's meeting Tuesday
next, and therefore it is thought the ear
lest time it can be sent to Congress will
be Tuesday afternoon, or more probably
Wednesday morning.
The Government investigation into the
attack upon the Baltimore's sailors, con-
NtuSbOO az Cclil L 1tIClSCO, having cOII1G 10
an end, there now is no reason why the
facts thus elected, which would seem to
greatly strengthen the Governments
case, should not be incorporated in the
documents sent to Congress, especially as
portions of the testimony have been
mailed to Washington from day to day,
and the last batch of evidence should be
here in very few days.

ADMIRAL BROWN INTERVIEWED.
SAN DIEGO, Jan. 15.-Admiral Brown
was interviewed last night for an opinion
as to the report that a vessel has been
chartered by the Government to take a
cargo of coal from Nanaimo to Chile. He
said he did not believe word of it; that
the Government would not take coal
there except under stress of circum-
stances. I'VE can get all the coal we
want here, at Acapulco and in Peru" he
said, land it is absurd to think the Gov
eminent would go away up to Nanaimo."
With reference to the probable future
movements of the cruisers the Admiral
was 2s dumb as an oyster. He would
not admit that he knew anything as to
the future. The Baltimore, Charleston
and San Francisco are under orders to
await further instructions. That was ALL
