incnt has added 10 It some feature max
ing stronger tho statements originally
made. Mr.. Egan's dispatch was recciv-
cd yesterday, and, In addition to what
was already known, indicated that Chile
was willing TO apologize for tho Malta
note which has been one oil the worst
features OF the controversy. ,t
NOT ALTOGETHER SATISFACTORY.
What Mr., Egan said, however, was
not i'll all respects satisfactory, cspec.
tally with reference 10 an apology pre-.
cedinS any arbitration OF the Baltimore
incident. Although in advance OF its
transmissiong to Congress official IN
formation Is mobtainable with refer
encc to the date OF tho receipt of the
cable message which shows that tho
Chilean government has gone further
than anything yet made public indi-
Gates, 1t is believed that Minister Egan's
message wos ono transmitting tho
Chilean's governments reply and Civ
Ing the substance OF tho concessions
made. For this reason Mr.. Egan may
not have been full enough in his state
lnents to thoroughly mako clear tho full
force OF Mr.. Perira's answer.
Tho dispatch containing tho reply
OF Senior Pcrira, tho Chilean minister OF
foreign affairs, is very long and its
translation was not completed until TO-
day. 1t is said to be 4 frank and splen-
didly written document, breathing
throughout q spirit OF friendship and
good will TO the United States. 1t is
said to bo clear and uneqrivocal. Meth.
ing is left of tho Malta note, which isnot
only withdrawn, but apologizcd for.
The most sincere regret 10 expressed for
the Baltimore incident, and tho offer to
refer it TO the supreme court is said to
be more than 4 proposition for settle.
ment that is made ae an illustration OF
the friendly feelings OF the Chieans
loward the United States, besides show
ing their willingness to leave the mat
ter toour courts for settlement. The
expressions OF cordiality toward this
country are proiusc.
. A MANLY DOCUMENT.
It is said that the whole tone Of the
document is apparently so sincere,
friendly and manly, and leaves the
matter in such shape that it is hardly
possible to fail'to bring the two coun-
tries closer together and result in m
amIcable adjustment OF the whole diff
Guilty. The dispatch is especially clear
and vigorous III rcpcilins the charge
OF hostility on the part OF thetChileans
to the American flag and the american
uniform. In effect it says: "Chile hate
the American Uniform? No! Too we'll
does she remember that flag and that
uniform in her ports and harbors aid
ing her in her struggle ior independ-
ence" (rcferrine to Chilc's struggle
tyears ago to achieve indcpendence)..
The prospect OF war, it is thought, is
now over, and that while considerable
remains to be done before the contro-
versy in its entirety will be closed and
become simply 4 matter OF history, yet
the affair is in such Il shape as to bring
the two nations closer together and
make further proceedings n matter OF
comparatively easy adjustment.
BLAINE SATISFIED.
In referring to the despatch from
Scnor Perira, Chairman Dlount said
later: "Mr. Blaine regarded the qlcs.
tion rs settled He seemed very much
clated over the dispatch and 10 regard
as an assurance of the end OF the con-
troversy. While the apology may not
be put in diplomatic language tho dis
patch, is just as full and complete in its
regrets or the whole affair as could be-"
Turning to Mr.. Springer, Mr.. Blount
said: II tell you the bottom is out OF
it, that is all. Tho administration would
not have Il straw'to stand on ii it con-
tinued to make demands with thatdis-
patch i'll its face. But ! have 10 idea
that they are going to force it any fur
ther. No one can read that entire cor
respondencc, gentlemen, without feel
ing the utmost sympathy at the almost
humiliating attitude OF the Chilean
government"
"NVill your committee on foreign al
fairs meet tomorrow Chairman
Blount was asked.
Yes, but We will have nothing to do
now, OF course. Mr.. Blame informed
mo that the President would send
Chile's answer in to-day or tomorrow,
so suppose it will come in to-mor-
row."
Private Secretary HaIiorl said to.
night that the additional correspond
encc between the United States and
Chile would be sent to Congress to-mor-
row. 1t will be comparatively brief
and will not aggregate more than about
1000 words.
