AN ASSURANCE or PEACE.

Tho authoritative announcement comes from
Washington tha, the CHILEAN Government has
sionificd 10 the Government Of the lnted states
lis determination TO make complete amends for
the injuries inflicted in VALPARAISO upon American
sailors, and for the diSre>pect shown at that
time and subsequently TO this country. Mr.
Montt has been instructed to offer ample apoi"-
gieS and regrets and emphatic assurances 'hdt
Chill cntertains for the Government ana people
OF the United states only feelings OF respect
friendship and gratitude. With these thorough
going acknowledgements of error and oilers OF
reparation every prospect of resort to arms dlS-
appears. and the final details of settlement will
be tremendously adjusted through the usual
channels Of diplomacy.
This country has never manifested or felt any
desire TO treat Chill with halshncSS Its Official
conduct throughout the controversy has pecn
courteous and folbearirg. II has proceeded
with consderatc care and deliberaton, mindful
Of whatever embarrasSmcntS might Involve the
situation at Santiago. and intent only upon up
holding the National honor, without passion or
resentment Ii has never intended or wished to
make the duty of repairing grave wrongs diff

ing that the matters at issue are to be adjusted
without naval ornaments and the barbarsm OF
WAR. The reversal Of the situation Is 50 sudden
as to be almost bcwldcrinS. but the fact that II
affords ample cause for profound satisfaction III
both countries is not obScurcd.
1t is expected that the President VIII send
full statement of the proposed terms OF settle
mcnt TO Congress to-day. but no doubt is felt IN
Washington that they are entirely adequate. If
rightly understood they leave only a single point

the silver being rcciOncd at 9S cents per ounce
This does not imply decrease in productions *
some may hastily infer. although the value 70
ported for 1890 was So 800. S3l. because in
that wear the silver was Icckoncd AT ~ o. per
ounce, 80 that the quantity in 1890 was 60,
510,41i ounces. according Ia Mr. Valentines
statement but in 1891 il was 81 ,SJl .O2j
ounces an increase of l.3i0,Gl ounces. or about
per cent The statement has nevertheless
been received with some surprise. because il WIS
commonly supposed that the production Of silver
had been considerably greater IN 1891 than in
the previous wear. While the WclS-Fargo state
ment admits that lis reports from Montana are
estimated and from Colorado and some other
States are liable 20 error, because facilities for
transporting bullion otherwise than by express
have much increased, there appears no reason
a, vet to question It's substantial correctness.
The net exports of silver, it is true. amounted
to Ss,739.5I1 in value in eleven months Of
1891, and from New-Yolk were Sl.57S4O7 in
December, but the imports across the Mexican
border in that month are not known. More
over, against this there must be Ieckoned the
sver-bearinS ores imported unless part was
included in the Wclls-Fargo statement, Of which
there is no certainty and this amounted in eleven
months to Ss976.7 1913. Probably the exports
