The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1892-01-28


proved since early yesterday afternoon.
Tbs situation is now bright, and what
prospect there was for war, 1t is under
stood, is now dispeNed.
The first cable message received by
the President from Minister Egan was
not in all respects satisfactory. 1t was
lacking in fuMness, and there were
many things In 1t Repairing additional
calculation
Another and later dispatch has now
been received, and it's contents are such
ps to leave nothing for Congress to do
with regard to the Presiden s's message.
It not only confirms, all that has boon
said In tn Associated Press dispatches.
but goes further and is cpuched in tho
most friendly terms.
The charge of hostile feeling on the
part of Chilli toward the United States
is utterly denied. In effect the dispatch
received says that the charge that
Ch1lians entertain feeling of enmity to.
ward the United States and to its flag
and uniform is utterly false.
TIE FEELING IN WASHINGTON.
The Gillian trouble is at an end
said Mr., Blount, chairman OF the House
com mittee on foreign affairs, shortly
before o'clock this afternoon to an
Association Press correspondent "The
bottom has dropped out of the whole
thing Mr.. Blaine is elated over the
termination of tho trouble in so salts
factory manner"
Mr.. Blount's manner showed tho
pleasure he felt at the news coumuni-
Gated to him by Secretary Blaine, with
authority to him (Alr. Blount) to report
it TO such persons as he saw fit to make
it known To.
few minutes before Mr. McCyeary,
OF kentucky, another member of the
committee, when seen, said:
why, haven't you heard tho news?
Every thing is much brighter now.n
Mr.. Hit, o. Illinois, a Republican
member of the committee, said 1.-The
situation looks great deal better, and
the dispatch received puts the trouble
in very satisfactory shape"
Mr.. Chapman, of Michigan, was de.
lighted at tho outcome. "You must be
glad that the committee is relieved of
so great responsibility" he said to
Chairman Blount, who had Just given
him the intelligence.
II think we have done very we'll, Mr..
Chipman," he added Tho committee
has shown the right spirit throughout.
We have been harmonious and have con-
sidered it as a National question on
which all should be united. am glad
such ga tisfactory termination has been
brought about"
Other members of the House who
were seen showed the feeling of relief
they felt at the outcome of the trouble.
In the Senate, also, members OF the
foreign relations committee gave Wis
ible evidence Of satisfaction. The COM
mittce had placed paddock OF absolute
secrecy on all it's proceedings, and
without that being removed they did
not feel at liberty to talk lest they
should disclose what had taken place
III tho committee, or give clue as to
what would take place, but it was owl
dent they were glad that from them
had been taken the grave responsibility
OF declaring war, and that peaceful
solution of the controversy had been
reached, consistent with the dignity and
self respect of the United States.
Senator Hoar. of Massachusetts, was
told OF what had been learned. He said
it was subject of much congratulatlon
to tho American people, and that he
thought the matter was now ended.
He declined to make any further com
ment on the decided change made in
the situation by the response of the
Gillian government.
The news of the change first became
known TO nearly. if not quite all, the
Senators on the foreign relations com
mittee through publication in an after.

operating TO keep intelligence from them
also. There had been all day feeling
that the crisis had passed, and for that
reason there had been no talk among
the Senators ON that subject.
Developments in the Gillian contro-
yersy since the Presidents so-called
ultimatum have been series of sur
prise'. of which that of to-day was not
the least 1t has been change on
change, and so swift have they followed
that history may be said to have beer
made every twenty four hours.
When the first news of the decision
OF the Gillian government to practi-
cally concede all that tho United States
asked was received in an Associated
Press cable message from Santiago, it
indicated such complete change on
the part OF the Chilians that while there
was hope 1T was true, many persons
were hardly able to crcditit. The later
dispatch has not only confirmed this
| cable message. but each new develop
ment has added TO it some feature MAX

to-day, and in addition to what was al
| ready known, indicated that Chilli was
willing to anologize for the Malta note,
which has been opeof the worst features
OF the controversy. What Mr.. Egan said
however, was not in all respects salts
factory, especially with reference to ar
apology preceding any arbitration o.
