orders to Minister Pedro Montt at Wash.
ington to make a sincere apology to the
United States for the unfortunate and
deplorable attack uron the Balu-'
more's sailors on October 10Th last. The
apology is unqualified in character.
The other matters which have been in dis
pute between Chile and the United States
are speedily to be considered by the new
Administration. From semi-0ffi,ial sources
be learns that the reason why the Santi-
ago police are kept in the vicinity Of
the American Legation is that the In
teBdente Of the city is in daily receipt of
letters containing threats to burn and sack
the legation. The correspondent asserts

the ideas of war between the United States
and Chile are friends Of Balmaceda.

man Minister, Gutschmidt, offered the serv-
ices of his country as mediator on his own
personal responsibility. This is In line
