OFFER TO MEDIATE.
Britain Has Not Proposed Arbitra-


WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-An Official Of
the state department, referring to the
reported al btration by friendly third
power, said today:''A third power does
not offer to arbitrate. The offer is to
mediate, and its good Offices may lead tn
a settlement under any one of three diff
ferent names, the practical result being
the same, however. Another form OF
manifestation of outside interest is
known as intervention. In that case
the intervening power usually insists
upon enforcing its views or suggestions
by force if necessary. A good illustra-
ton of the effects of Intervention is
shown in Egypt. England INTERVIEWED
there"
Among Secretary Tracy's callers to-
dry was Clement Griscom, president of
the Red Star steamship line He has
had several interviews with the secre-
tary of late, and it is understood that
negotiations are pending for the pur-
chaSe OF certain steamers from that
company by the government in event OF
war. No announcement to that effect
has as yet been made at the navy de-
Dartment, but it is thought that the
government has secured an option OH
several vessels that Will be used as
transports should hostilities occur.
Senior Montt. Ethe Chilian minister,
when asked tonight concerning the re-
port that the British government would
step in and offer to act as mediator be-
tween the United States and Chill, said
that ne was not ware of the doings of
the British government. Secretary
Tracy said tonight that there was no
truth in the printed report that Ad.
mirals Gherardi and Walker had been
ordered to Chill.

WALKERS DANGER.
He May Have to Give Battle at
the Straits.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Some ankle
ty& felt at the present delay, and some
officials say that if trouble is to occur it
should take place before the Captain
Pratt, Chili's formidable war vessel now
building in France, can be turned over
to Chill. 1t is a knowledge of the fact
that the Pratt is nearing completion
which makes the members of congress
from some of the seaboard cities anxious
that the presidents message to con-
greSs should be soon forthcoming if
trouble is to be feared. While the talk
today was favorable TO peace, many
Democratic members said plainly that
if fighting did come they were in favor
of pushing the war vigorously and re-
lentlessly, emitting no measure to give
Chilli a severe lesson.
Commander Evans is said to have re-
ported to the department that tour of
the best cruisers of the Chilian navy
Straits of Magellan, with a torpedo boat
besides. This is interpreted to mean
that Admiral Walkers fleet may be
halted there and directed to turn back
or risk fight, and naval officers take it
as an indication that Chill intends OPEN
ing the ball herself. The vessels to 90
are said to be the Esmeralda, the Almi-
rante Cochrane. the Pinto, new ar
mored cruiser, whose sailing rate is
nineteen knots, and the Condell, the
famous fast torpedo boat that blew up
the BIanco Encalada.
Admiral Walker. in his flagship, the
Chicago arrived at Montevideo Jan. IL.
He was yesterday informed of what
might await him and warned to make
ready for it. For the first time there is
real alarm at the threatened danger of
Admiral Walker. His squadron is not
equipped with torpedoes, aud the Chi

ESCAPED REFUGEES.
A Wreck in the Straits Excites
Hope of Capture.

LONDON, Jan. 1S.-The Pacific Coast
Navigation company's mail steamer
John Elder. from Valparaiso for Liver
pool, has been wrecked on Caranza
rock, in the Straits of Magellan. all
the passengers and the crew were saved,
but the vessel herself, it is expected,
will be total loss.
A dispatch to the Times from Santi-
ago, Chilli, says that the news of the
wreck of the Elder is causing much eX-
element in that city. owing to the fact
that it is generally believed that it was
by this steamer number of refugees
who had sought safety at the Ameri-
can legation had left the country.
The passengers are proceeding to Con-
cepcion, CHILEAN port, 270 miles south
west of Santiago de Chill: The local
authorities at that place have received
orders to arrest all the refugees who are
found among the shipwrecked people.
All the mails on board the steamer have
been lost
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-It is learned
today from source that cannot be queS-
toned that the Balmaceda refugees are
still on the Yorktown, and are in no
danger of falling into the hands of the
Chlllans by reason of the wreck of the
steamship John Elder. The statement
that they were placed on that vessel in
disguise at Valparaiso is, therefore, in
correct. The fact that the Esmei aida
has gone to tine wreck of the John Alder
might indicate, however, that the Gillian
authorities incline to the impression
that the refugees were passengers on
that vessel.
