sample, it says about this: Chile hate the
American uniform? No. Too well does she
remember that uniform in her ports and
harbors aiding her in her struggles for in
dependence. To illustrate the feeling we
entertain toward the American republic
we are willing to submit the whole matter
OF the Baltimore affair to that august
tribunal, your supreme court 1 do not
! quote perhaps the exact words Of the dis

Is not necessary to submit this thing

you our feeling toward you we are willing

withdraw their request for Minister Egan's
withdrawal and they speak of the Malta
note as an error of Judgment and they are

NO SPECIFIC APOLOGY.
But what about the apology we de-
| mandedp again interrupted a member OF
congress.
II cannot say that it is made in specific
form, "..replied Mr.. Blount, "but the whole
augmentation and declaration Of the feel
ing and regret, the action taken by the gov
ernment to have guilty parties arrested, all
| these illustrations are given as to their feel
| ings in the attempt to exhaust the idea that
there was any hostility toward usn
"DoeS Secretary Blaine regard the ques-
tion as settledp
he seemed very much elated over the
dispatch and to regard it as an assurance of
the end OF the controversy. While the
apology may not be put in diplomstio
language. the dispatch is just as full and
i complete in its regret Of the whole affair
| as could be-"
Turning to Mr.. Springer, Mr. Blount
said: Il tell you the bottom is out of it,
that is all, The administration would not
have straw to stand on if it continued to
| make demands with that dispatch in it's
face. But have Ho idea that they are
going to force it any further. No one can
| read that entire correspondence, gentlemen,
| without feeling the utmost sympathy at
the almost humiliatng attitude OF the
Chilean government"
"Will your committee on foreign affairs
meet Tomorrow" Chairman Blount was
| asked.
"Yes, hut we will have nothing to do
! now, of course. Secretary Blaine informed
me that the President would send Chiles
answer in to-day or tomorrow, 30 Isuppose
1t will come in Tomorrow"
THE WAR is OVER.
Mr.. Gable Of Illinois, a member Of the
foreign affairs committee, was present
during Mr. Blount's statement. "The war
| is overn, said he, laughiugly, to the Agso-
| ciated Press representative. 81 am glad at
the very satisfactory turn matters have
taken, and | think it is now
time for the great American
been made and willingness to submit the
| determination of indemnity to our own
| supreme court having been expressed, we
| need not be exacting as TO the amount of
| the award. Principle is what we were
| after, and that having been conceded we
will be tooliberal. l am sure, to impose un-
| due financial penalties on our already bank
rupt sister republic
Secretary Blaine. IL is understood, is en-
tiIely satisfied and feels relieved that the
controversy is now almost over. The pros
| pset of war, it is thought, is now over, and
that while considerable remains to be done
before the controversy in its entirety will
| be closed and simply matter Of history,
yet the affair is in such shape as to bring
| the two nations closer together and make
further proceedings matter of compara-
lively easy adjustment.
CHILE CLAIMS TO HAVE BEEN FOOLED.
SANTIAGO DE CHILE, Jan. 27.-The CORE
spondent OF the Associated Press has had
interviews with several members of the
Chilean cabinet. In his conversations with
these gentlemen he was told that Senior
Pedro Montt, the Chilean minister at Wash
ington. mislod his government as to the
status Of affairs in regard to the difficulty
between tee United States and Chile. From
bAHteLISulo Ulhu6 Dy IuS ullDloUSIS ToteTT6Q
to. it appears that the Chilean minister at
Washington sent cable dispatch to his
government on Friday last in which he
| stated that the settlement Of the matter was
proceeding in a satisfactory manner.
The text Of Chile's reply to President Har.
rison's ultimatum has not yet been made
public. 1t is awaited on all sides with in-
tense interest. The substance of it has al
ready been indicated in the Associated
Press dispatches from here, and this, so far
as can be learned meets with general ep-
proval on the part of the intelligent classes.
SANTIAGO DANGEROUSLY EXCITED.
The news that President Harrison had
sent special message to congress Monday
relating to the points at issue between the
United States and Chile and
dispatches published here yesterday and
to-day describing the attitude of the Amer
lean public toward the matter have caused
no littls popular excitement here. The Bal
timore incident, the Presidents ul~
timatum and message, and the
dangerous tension of the relations between
the two governments have been the sole
topic OF conversation In all circles They
dominate the newspaper columns to the
virtual exclusion of all other questions.
The younger and hotter-headed portion Of
the public continues to indulge in much
war talk Rather than have their govern
ment acknowledge its fault or apologize for
its utterances, these young patriots
declare that they would prefer
to see a resort to arms. Such talk
as this, it is believed, reflects the opinion of
a large element of the common people. The
naval officers are reported to be much
stirred up at the thought that they may be
called upon to salute the stars and stripes.
They 20 so far as to say, according to re-
ports published in to days papers, that they
would see the Chilean fleet sunk before they
would salute the American flag.
STANDING BY MATTA.
Whatever the government may say Off
cially in Withdrawing the offensive note of
Senior Malta of Dec. IL, there are abundant
indications that Senior Matta's popular
ity will not in any way be de-
now famous dispatch. Instead it looks
very much as though this was the most
popuar.act of his administration of the de-
partmen5 Of foreign affairs While the
cabinet has been celebrating upon the
precise form of language in which to
apologize to the United States for Senior
Mattas discourteous and undiplomstic per-
formance, preparations have been actively
going on by committee OF leading citizens
to honor Senior Malta with grand and i'm
posinq banquet This will take place next
Saturday aud promises to be a brilliant
affair.
