WILL BE NO WAR.
Mr.. Blaine Feels Entirely Satisfied with ChilsS
Reply To This Governments Uldmatum-Ihe
Matter Goes to Congress TO-Day-Gen-
sral Good Feeling All Round.

WASHINGTON, d. c., January 27.-
"The Chilean trouble is at an end,
said Mr.. Blount, the Chairman OF the
House Committee on Foreign Affairs,
shortly before three o'clock this after
noon, to an Associated Press corre-
spondent. ''The bottom has dropped
out OF the thing. Mr.. Blaine is eated
over the termination Of the trouble In
so satisfactory a manner"
The manner OF Mr.. Blount showed
the pleasure he felt at the news COM
uunicated to him by Secretary Blaine
with authority to him (Mr. Blount) to
repeat 1t to such persons as he saw MT
to make known. A few minutes before,
Mr.. McCreary, Of Kentucky, another
member of the Committee, when seen
said: "Why haven't you heard the
news? Everything is much brighter
now"
Mr.. Hit, Of Illinois, a Republican
member Of the committee, said: "The
situation looks great deal better and
the dispatch received puts the trouble
in a very satisfactory shape"
Other members Of the House who were
seen showed the feeling Of relief they
felt at the outcome of the trouble. In
the Senate also the members OF the For
eign Relations Committee gave visible
evidence OF satisfaction. The commit
tee had placed the paddock of absolute
secrecy on all its proceedings and with
out that being removed they did not
feel at liberty to talk lest they should
disclose what had taken place in COM
mittee or give clue to what would take
Dlace. but 1t was evident that they were
glad that from them had been taken the
grave responsibility of declaring war,
and that a peaceful solution Of the con-
troyersy had been reached consistent
with the dignity and self respect Of the
United States.
The news OF the change first became
known to nearly If not quite all of the
Senators on the Foreign Relations Com
mittee through the publication in the
afternoon paper, the injunction OF Sc
crecy operating to keep the intelligence
from them also. There had been all
day feeling that the crisis was passed,
and for this reason there had been no
talk among the Senators on the subject.
The developments in the Chilean con-
troversy since the Presidents ultimatum
have been a series of surprises OF which
that of to-day was not the least. 1t has
beeu change on change, and so swift
thew followed that history may be said
to have been made every twenty-four
hours.
When the first news Of the decision
Of the Chilean government to practi-
caIIy concede all that the United States
asked was received in the Associated
Press cable message from Santiago, it
indicated such complete change on
the part of the Chileans that while
there was a hope, if true, many persone
were hardly able TO credit it.
The later dispatch has not only con-
irmed this cable message, but each new
development has added TO 1t some iea-
ture making stronger the statements
originally made. Mr.. Egan's dispatch
was received yesterday and in addition
To what was already known indicated
that Chile was willing to apologize for
the Malta note, which has been one OF
the worst features Of the controversy.
What Mr.. Egsn said, however, was
not in all respects satisfactory, eSpe-
cially with reference TO an apology pre-
ceding an arbitration of the Baltimore
incident. Although in advance Of its
transmission to Congress official infor-
nation is unobtainable with reference
TO the date Of the receipt Of the cable
message which shows that the Chilean
Government has gone further than any
thing vet made public indicates. II is
believed that Minister Egan'S message
was one transmitting the Chilean Gov
ernmeht's reply aud giving the sub
stance of the concessions made. For
this reason Ma. Egan may not have
been full enough I'm his statements to
thoroughly make clear the full force of
Mr.. Perira's answer. j..
The,dispatch containing the reply OF
Senior Perira, the Chilean Minister OF
Foreign Affairs, is very long and It's
translation was not completed until TO-
day. It is said to be frank and splen-
didly written document, breathing
