CHILE MUST BE QUICK.
AN APOLOGY AND INDEMNITY
 WILL BE REQUIRED.
President Harrison wnl Put Ills Foot Down and Give Montt No Time to Get
 His New War ship Ready.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.--Chile must ex- press her regrets for the assault upon the sailors of the Baltimore and pay to the families of the murdered seamen a snug indemnity. She must do this within two weeks. Her refusal will mean war with the United States The Chilean man-of war Captain Pratt. now at Toulon, will not be permitted to leave that port until this difficulty has been settled. An officer of the navy is now watching the Captain Pratt, and he reports to this govern ment every stroke of work which puts that formidable cruiser nearer sea ser vice.
 In safe time. before it is possible to place the Pratt in commission, the United States will declare war if at that time the demand for apology and indemnity made by this government on the authorities at Santiago shall remain uncotnplied with. The United States is preparing for war because prepara- tions under the circumstances is the prudent thing to do and because Chile's knowledge of the preparations may help to convince the Santiago govern ment that this country is in earnest and not Co be trified with.
 Within few days it is hoped a com nr1nication will be received from the Chilean government which, if not en- tirely satisfactory, will form basis for a satisfactory settlement of the diff ficulty. In other words, the United States have taken their stand and now occupy position from which they can not and will not retreat. Chile is not only by words, but by actions which speak louder than words. being in- formed that responsibility for war or peace rests with her. and that this is responsibility which she must quickly assume and make decision on.
 The fore going paragraph contains the essence of the Chilean situation as it exists to-day. The statements herein made are lased upon high authority. The Chilean Minister. Dom Pedro Montt. was at the State department in conference with Secretary Blaine Both the Secretary and the Minister decline to give any intimation of the nature of their conversation. though from the fact that MT. Blaine said that there was no change in the situation and nothing for the public ear.and from the additional fact that the Secretary was not at the White House after seeing the Minister, it is inferred that Minister Montt had no formal com munication from his government to transmit. Senor Montt'ssecretary says his chief has received no communities ton whatever from Chile since tn. in- auguration of the new government.
 Meanwhile the air is full of runners. It is exceedingly difficult to obtain trustworthy information. as the lips of officials are sealed. and only hints and remarks from which inferences may Ee taken are dropped. These are caught up by newspaper correspondents and made the most of, with che result that we have peace one day and war the next.
 In regard to arbitration State de- partment official, declare that there is nothing to arbitrate.
