rgF INTERNATIONAL SITUATION
UNCHANGED.

o,erican Legation at Valparaiso
co Aboard the Yorktown.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-It is per-
80 natural enough that the atmosphere
n1J - washington just now should he as full
:, Cbila canards as it is of English fog.
c.-.oinIv there has been mora sensational
o..s mat wasn't true during the week
,bs1st any other time. The President has
:, 3i5nifed the rumors about his snatch
the Chilean correspondence from the
..e,s department and putting searching
.n.stions TO Minister Montt, during Secre-
..,y Blaiue's recent indisposition, with
t--mal demands, but he did see ft to deny
.o.5sv the reports that Chile had announced
.bs,it would not make reparation and also
:, dsnv that he had sent for Chairman
c,ormau of the Senate committee on for
atom relations and Chairman Blount of the
porse committee on foreign affairs for
sone mysterious purpose not clearly defined
hv this rumor. Mr. O'Neill of Massa-
cbusetts and other democrats were kept
bnsy denving that they were about to spring
a resolution on the House calling in war
rke tones for the Chilean correspondence.
M course all these rumors were believed by
those who circulated them. though they
we're usually men anxious for war to the
mint Of extreme nervousness. None of the
rumors had any basis in fact, however.
GRAVITY OF THE SITUATION.
The state Of the matter is grave enough,
Int II is not the lurid situation which the
sensation mongers would have it. The
President. it can be stated authoritatively,
does not expect a warllke, but rather a
reacfful outcome. He no more looks for
war with Chile than he desires it. He has
madeureparation for it with the forethought
az prudence, but he relies ever on that very
preparsti0n to aid him in averting it. He
e1rects Chile TO come to terms, however
reluctantly and tsrdy, in time to prevent
host.ites In other words, he ex-
reefs as he said in his message,
some adeouate and satisfactory response 10
the note by which the attention Of Chile
was called to this incident. In the mean
tine he is preparing to send the corre-
spondence in the case to congress, as soon
IS the final report and review Of Judge Ad-
vocate General Remy on the Baltimore
inquiry arrives. The President, it was
stated to-day, would have sent the CORE.
sDOndence up to Jan. l into congress
Immediately after the holiday recess but
for private information from Santiago that
second revolution was imminent. lie
waited from day to day for the new
revolution until the opportunity arrived
to get this new testimony Of
the Balhmores men, whenshe withheld the
correspondence till he could get Judge
Remy's report. If by the time he sends in
tOe correspondence he does not hear OFF,
caAy and formally from the Chileans, he
Will in bis message transmitting the
correspondence call the attention of con-
gFess to that as well as to other facts in the
case IN order that congress may share his
responsibility and, if necessary, increase his
powers even to the point Of war. The Presi-
lant expressed great satisfaction to-day
With the fact that if the administration did
nave to appel to congress for
war measure it would
