twas at first stated that the despatch con-
tanning tho apology had been received by the
President on Saturday last and withheld from
his message Of Monday for the purpose OF de-

that the despatch was additional to that which
CAME yesterday. and which was announced In
steleeram from Santiago. Persistent inquiry.
however soon developed the fact to be that
tho despatch was received by Minister Mont
yesterday. and by him handed to Secretary
Blaine as the reply OF the CHILEAN Government
to the demand contained in the despatch OF
Secretary blaine dated Jan. y. and which the
President on Monday announced to Congress
his intention to enforce. Tonight Secretary
Dlaine could not be seen. as he dined out. as
usual. and there was much speculation as to
the exact terms OF the telegram Of apology.

1.-THE receipt OF the despatch was first made
kuowa to me yesterday morning at about 10
o'clock. A messenger from the President
brought the info, nation that a despatch from
Chilli had lust been received. but was In cipher
and had not been translated. After consulta-
ton with my colleaguesI decided that it would
lie best to know. if possible. the nature Of the
response before giving our time to the ex-
haustive study OF the immense correspond
ence on the subject. So. this morning went
to the State Department and the despatch was
shown mo. I speak with greater freedom
regarding this despatch. because Secretary
blaine Informed me that there was not the
slightest reason for keeping silence about it.
Mr. Blaine himself appeared to be profoundly
grathed by the receipt Of the news. and the
prospect 1t seems to offer Of a speedy peaceful
settlement Of an irksome controversy. In my
humble opinion the satisfactory disposition
olthe whole trouble is now only question Of
al.eM formal arrangements as to exact terms.
