WASHINGTON. Jan. 81. 10 p. M
This government to-day received
= long message from Minister Egan
,,rveving an offer on the part of
Ms Chilean government for settlement of
ii The existing difficulties with the United
States This dispatch confirms in every
nsr.ieular the statements made in the
H associated Press dispatch received from
Santiago last night, which was in
effect that Chile bad egreed to withdraw
tbe offensive note sent by Senior Malta; to
withdraw Its request for the recall Of Min
i,,sr Egan and to submit the Baltimore af-
4 fair to the arbitration Of some neutral na-
4 ,ioD or TO submit the matter to the decision
n Of the United States supreme court Min
js,sr Egan states these propositions at
greater length than the press dispatch, but
he exact additions cannot now be ascer-
talned.
81 OFFERS TO APOLOGIZE.
There is reason to believe, however, that
Fl The Chilean government not only offers to
B withdraw the offensive note. but in addl-
ton offers to apologize for it. 1t also
agrees to the positions taken by the United
States in regard to the right Of lum and
safe conduct Of refugees. ter Egan's
dispatch was submitted to tie cabinet at its
meeting to-day. The entire question was
discussed and it is understood that a differ
ence of opinion was developed as to che pro-
pristy of accepting the offer without modi-
fcAtion 50 far as it related co the submis-
Eon Of the question of Chile's liability for
tbe attack on the sailors of the Baltimore to
the arbitration Of a neutral nation or to the
decision Of the supreme court. Without
Preaching decision the meeting adjourned.
4he President will doubtless communicate
Minister Egan's dispatch to congress. but
SlIl probably not do so for several DAYS un-
Jess 1t Is called for by the House or Senate.
