Question.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-It transpired
last night that Minister Egan had COM
municated to the secretary Of state the
reply offhe Chilean government to the
note of Secretary Blaine Of the 21st inst,
as was stated in these dispatches yester-
day from Santiago. The general incre-
dulity of the pubic regarding the San
tiago dispatches was due to the fact that
on Monday Mr.. Egan had notified the
department that the Chilean govern
ment asked for two or three days longer
In which to make its answer, owing TO
the absence of President Montt at the
springs above Santiago. Public expec-
tation had settled down to q delay of
that length of time, and the published
statement of yesterday, indicating that
President Montt had returned to the
capitol, was wholly unlocked for. 1t
was not until last night that the fact of
the reception Of the message became
circulated, and the sentiment among
public men was one of doubt and nn-
certainty. They knew not, at first,
what to say ON the subject when asked
for opinions as to the new phase OF the
matter.
First Reports Correct.
The statement of the contents Of the
message in yesterdays telegram is said
to be practically correct. Conversation
with those acquainted with the text of
the note give the impression that it was
not satisfactory. No one who was in .
position to know them would consent to
discuss the terms Of the reply. The fact,
however, that there is no reference to
an apology for the assault upon the Bal
timore's sailors is sufficient to account
for the dissatisfaction of officials with
It's terms. As to the Malta note, the

the supreme Court CannoI Declue
The proposition of Chile to throw the
whole thing into the supreme court for
arbitration is variously viewed. BY some
it is thought to be declaration by
Chile OF null confidence In the Justice
and right OF her cause; confidence 80
great and implicit that she u Wiling 70
