"a hours nothing else has been discussed
in streets and the cafes-in fact in all
public places.
The papers which favored Balmaceda
and the supporters of the late dictator
generally are growing over the manner
In which this matter has been handled
by the present government and are doing
all they can to inAame the people.
TIE WHOLE COUNTRY EXCITED.
In Valparaiso the matter is being dis
cussed with more calmness. Merchants
and bankers there generally believe that
apeaceful settlement Of pending diff
culties between the United States and
Chill will surely be reached. kilograms
are arriving hourly from Iquique and
all the provinces north and south to the
papers In Santiago and Valparaiso, ask
ing II the question has been settled.
Intense excitement prevails through
out the entire country. In Iquigue
especially the people appear to be
wrought up to high pitch.
The Peruvian residents of Iquiuue
4 are jubilent over the state of existing
affairs. The press of Santiago and Val
paradise prints the widest stories relative
TO the ulMmatum.
La linton is especially bitter, and calls
on the people, both male and female, to
stand together in defending the honor
OF the country.
4 In regard to the story current that the
United States would require salute to
the stars and stripes, it says:
"Our noble sailors would prefer sink
ing Il the bottom Of the sea rather than
to salute this Yankee flag"
phs report reaches me that the cabi-
net is much dissatisfied with the course
.ar1 aof Pedro Montt, the CHILEAN minister at
n Washington. His last message, received
lar Friday, 1t Is said, assured his govern
~ ment that the affair was coming to a
Inn speedy conclusion.
lRitt, MINISTER MoNTT IN TROUBLE
IA, He has all along led President Montt
The and his advisors to believe that Mr..
rs Blaine was DESTROYS Of submitting the
Inv whole affair to arbitration.
LII AS / cabled you this statement appears
RI In reply to the ultimatum. Some here
IN think that Pedro Montt has been misled
j by Ricardo L. Trumbull, Julio Foster
antl their Democratic friends.
lii.c minister of Justice has ordered
JuAee OF 'rimes Foster at Valparaiso to
drPp Al other work and to proceed at
olce to conclude the trial of the men in
ile Baltimore case. Judge Foster prom
is,ls thai he will finish the cases by Fri
day.
THE DISPATCH FROM CHILL.
WASHINGTON, Jan. GA commupi-
,,;;,.fstion was received to-day by Secretary
!. WIN laine from Chill, through Minister
?tontt, which is understood to be a com.
tn. ,lete and full apology for the attack
ri2....tpon United States seamen at Val
stron haraiso, and an offer to submit the cues
thelsiiion of reparation to arbitration. The
seIiahoffensive communication of Senior Malta
W TO Minister Montt is also disclaimed and
Wrwithdrawn. Chairman Blount said to
fi ms,s me this afternoon that the communica-
,aacSS ton received from Chill is in every re-
thel spect satisfactory and removes all ap-
com prehension Of any difficulty with that
Nj country. The contents of the COM
py' munlcatlon were made known by
OF the President to the two commit
n ,a,S tees OF Congress to whom the mes
de, sage and accompanying documents
ne were referred, and at his suggestion,
in they refrained from any consideration Of
o. the questions involved. The President,
it is understood, has replied to the
pacific note Of the Gillian government
and II is probable that the additional
TX correspondence will be sent to Congress
~ Tomorrow, accompanied by message
from the President. The Chiian gov.
eminent having made satisfactory ex-
planatlon on all the points of conten-
ton, the way is made clear fordscussing
the question OF reparation, and there can
be no doubt that satisfactory settle
ment will be reached upon this point
W.
atonement having been made for the
offence against the United States
en- the part Of the Gillian mob.
and willingness having been
expressed by that government to
make PREPARATION for the injuries sus-
tanned by individual citizens of the
United States, the only question to be
settled is as to the amount Of compen
sation which shall be made to those in
1ured and the relatives OF the two men
who were killed 1t is not improbable
that this will be satisfactorily settled by
direct ofer from the Gillian govern
ment OF certain sum of money, as was
done by the Y nited States in the case of
the Chinese killed by mob in Wyoming
several years ago, or it may be deter.
mined by arbitration, the latter method
having been suggested by the Gillian
government Ihore is an almost uni
versal expression of satisfaction from
men OF all parties with the amcable
termination OF the controversy, and the
general belief is that the President will
deal literally with Chill in the con.
sideration OF the question of PREPARATION
and the method by which the amount
OF damages shall be determined.
BLAINE MUCH ELATED.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.--Chili has
made satisfactory apology to this
government and all likelihood of war
has passed. Mr.. Blaine is authority
