The A,censIon Tronble Ende1

DEMlNG, N. NJ, Jan. ga special SAYS
there is every reason to believe the trouble
to the south is ended. A correspondent
who returned from journey to the re-
ported scene Of the revolt and along the
line reports the refugees as having dis
persed to ranches along the border, and
there is no danger of further trouble. Ssiz,
the leader, is under arrest at Messilla, and
so are two OF his lieutenants awaiting ex-
tradition action.

London Press Comments.

LONDON, Jan. 26.-All the daily papers
published long editorial comments this
morning. in regard to the Presidents mes
sage. The Ws regards the message as an
election buster, but says it is hard to see
how Chilli can possibly deny the circular
of Malta was offensive to the United
States government
mo false PRIDE; said the NeWs, "shoud
restrain the Chilians from disavowing this
act OF an indiscreet minister RnG SO paving
the way for a settlement of their own score
against America"
THE CHRONICLE.
After hearing the language of President
Harrison felt justihed in using toward
Chilli, one cannot help wondering why
Egan was not recalled. Tne coming cleo
TORS PROBABLY account for the animated
language OF the message. Harrison's
declaration that America does not covet
territory ought not be taken as pledge,
but rather as ingenious device to allay
suspicious not wholly grouadless. 1t re-
mains to De seen what the Americanism of
Blaine AND his friends will be content
with.
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH.
Nothing yet has occurred to Justify the
alarmist rumors of resort to hosLalitieE.
that would embitter diplomatic relations.
Impartial Americans must acknowledge that
Chilli has some justifcat on for it's irritation.
Harrison defends Egan in terms of IN
mixed appreciation. IL Is extremely un-
likely that Chilli viii venture to defy the
pewer of America. There only needs to be
little spirit of compromise and con-
Citation, which Chill has already exhibited.
TO remove the differences between coun-
tries specially and peRceablv
THE TIMES SAYS:
The weak point in Harrison's argument
is the absence of any evidence of the at
tack upon the American sailors was ony-
thing Else than q sudden outbreak of mob
fury. 1t is not rendered clear in what re-
spects the GILLIAN formula of regret misses
the essential virtues of the American for
mula. The request of Chilli for the recall
OF Eean had something to do with harden
ing the presidential attitude. in the mean
time things look decidedly awkward.
although comfort may be sought in the
knowledge that the exigencies of election
eering are many and mysterious.
THE sTANDARDsATs:
The plain truth is Mr.. Harrison has been
to infinite pains to pick out provocation.
CHILEAN statesmen could not reasonably be
expected to make an AFFECT apology. They
have made the frankest and fullest admis-
sion that the incident is deplorabIe. We
are not aware America has gone
nearly so far TO sooth Italy for the New
Orleans affair The iudicious inquirer will,
howev r, seek an equalization in American
politics. 1t is more probable contingency
that Gillian ironclads will lombard New
York than the American army will LAND in
Chilli. Meanwhile If mere talk of hostility
brings home 10 the minds of the American
people the inadequacy Of their armament is
something will have been achieved.

The Philadelphis to Watch the Captain Prat.


New YORK, Jan. 25.-The Rerdld's Wash
ington correspondent telegrapns his paper
that the rumor that the cruiser Philadel-
phia was on the way TO the Mediterranean,
is undoubtedly true. The correspondent
says 1t is the purpose of the Philadelphia
TO keep close walch OF the Chilian craft
Captain Prat, and that the Chiiian gov
eminent will probably encounter Difficult
ties in getting that vessel into her own
waters.
II has been known to American naval
officials for some time that the lillian
government is exerting every effort to
get the Captain Pratt into condition to
flashed the first news of declaration of
war. II is the belief Of the officials here
that the departure OF the Esmerelds, Con-
dell aud three other Gillian vessels from
Valparaiso for the south has some further
significance than that of securing recruits as
announced in dispatches from Valparaiso
The departure of the Esmeraida and other
vessels southwark Is now thought to be
Fart of plan TO enable the captain OF the
Pratt to get into Chialian waters at once
should war be declared With the Pratt in
her present unfinished condition and with
green crew she would easily TALL a victim
to the Philadelphia, and the Chilians doubt
less realize this as well as the Americans
do. Possession of the vessel means q great
deal to Chilli, and that government will do
everything in their power to get her out of
a neutral port at once.

the coal they need.

cepted in one way. Chilli has iIsulted and
maligned this government as it never has
been insulted and maligned before.
The President places the situation thus:
Shall we acknowledge ourselves to be a
nation OF power, permitting the national
dignity to be assailed, or shall we act the
part of men and resent such conducts
believe the common sense of the American
people and their love of country will assert
itself, ard that the President will be upheld
and Chilli either apologize and make
proper reparatlon or take the consequence
which means that in thirty days we will
be able to whip the entire Gillian navy.

where she least expects it.

Very many members of Congress do
not seem TO exactly understand the condi-
ton of affairs but in case of immediate
hostilities, as l said before, we can
whip the Gillian navy with the ships we
now have. They have some big boats but
they only run slowly and our cruisers can
run all around them. The Esmeralda is
the only one of their boats we have any
reasen to fear and l believe the Baltimore
can whip 1t in q straight fight.n
