Control.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-From Santiago
the Herald has the following cablegram
The question of the relations between
Chilli and the United States of North
America came up in the chamber of
deputies today. Deputy Jordan brought
the matter before the chamber. He said
much alarm and concern existed in the
public mind relative to the condition
OF affairs between the two countries.
He thought that the ministers should
make some definite statement about the
matter The fact that, in his opinion,
the United States was great nation.
honorable and just i'll its dealings, was
emphasized, and he could not believe
that there was any desire on her part to
humiliate Chill. lie felt positive of
her good intentions, and urged the cham
Der to remember the position which she
assumed when the French occupied
Mexico.
To the United States, continued Senor
Jordan, Chilli and all the smaller South
American republics must look for pro-
lection in the eXpounding and enforce
ment of the Monroe doctrine. Chill, he
felt sure, ought to meet the demands
made upon her in a friendly manner
and acknowledge with regret the un-
fortunate occurrences of which COM
plant is made.
The general sentiment of the cham
Der was favorable to the sentiments eX-
pressed by SenOr Jordan, with the

entertaining dislike to Americans.
He spoke against Senor Jordan's re-
quest, bat his opposition was unim-
pOrtant
In reply to Senior Jordan's interpret
lation, Minister Pereira stated that an
answer to the ultimatum OF the United
States had been sent to American Min
lister Egan. which he hoped and be-
lieyed would prove satisfactory to the
United States, but at present he was
not at liberty to divulge Its contents.
At the meeting of the council of sta te
which considered the ultimatum pre-
sented on the part Of the United States
by Minister Egan, President Jorge Montt
presided. The meeting was of anything
but a cheerful character, and there was
some excited talk. The debate was
prolonged for some three hours. / saw
some Of the members of the cabinet
after the meeting adjourned and they
looked harassed and worn.
am informed that Foreign Minister
Pereira presented for the consideration
of the council note to be sent in reply
to the ultimatum of the United States
which expresses regret for the Balti-
more incident and begs to submit
that question to arbitration either
to friendly nation or the United
States supreme court, and asks to
retire Matta's offensive note but with
reservations and notifications. There
was opposition to this note on behalf of
the Conservadores, but the Liberals
under the lead of Eduardo Matte
formed a majority and Pereira's note
was indorsed.
The papers which were favorable to
the late government OF Balmaceda have
published the ultimatum sent by the
United States with the widest kinds of
comments. They do this in order to
arouse public feeling. British Minister
Kennedy has rendered his good Offices
to Minister Perera on behalf of the
British government. 1t is thought here
that there is possibility that the gov
ernment of the United States will not
regard the terms of the reply as salts
