SANTIAGO oUIETs DOWN.
Special Dispatch to the associated Press.
SANTIAGO, Jan. 2S.-There is a much
quieter feeling here than was evident yes
terday and during the past few
days. Chilean officials, however, con-
tlnue to express surprise at the
ultimatum forwarded from Preside MT
Harrison. The Associated Press correspond
dent in this city to-day had an interview
with one of the most prominent officials of
the Chilean foreign office. The correspond
ent was courteously met and the conversa-
tion was free and cordial. In the course of
the interview it was shown very
plainly that the foreign Office would
not say in direct manner that
Minister Montt had been deceived or had
been misled by any note or word received
by MIN from the American Secretary of
State; but it WAS evident that the official
thought so. He said that Secretary Blaine
had all along given Minister Montt to
understand that a settlement of the serious
controversy between the two republics was
being reached. and that Secretary
Blaine a month ago had proposed
a submission to arbitration of the out
rsgeous assault upon The liberty men from
the United States steamer Baltimore, and
had also agreed TO accept Senior Months
terms for the withdrawal of the Malta tel
gram.
EGAN's ASSURANCES IN DOUBT.
1t is asserted here that Minister Egan in
formed the Chilean government week ago
that the questions at issue were being settled.
Minister Egan has declared that he said
nothing OF the kind. On the night of tie
reception Of the ultimatum from
the President of the United States
cablegram was received here
from Minister Montt advising the Chilean
government co stand firm, as was as favor
able at Washington. There is intense
anxiety here as to the outcome of the situa-
tion. Every one, from the highest in official
station to the most humble citizen, wishes
to know if America accepts the terms of
Chiles reply to President Harrison's uti-
matum.
HARRISON UNDER FIRE.
LONDON. Jan. 2S.-Several Of the English
papers to-day print an alleged dispatch
from Washington to the Dalziel agency in
which it is asserted that President Harrison
yesterday informed the Senate committee
on foreign relations that the answer of
Chile to the ultimatum sent her on
Jan. 81 was received before his message
was sent to congress, but that he was
not aware OF its contents, owing to the fact
that it was not translated into English until
after the message had been delivered to
congress. Basing its comments upon this
assertion Of the Dalziel agency, the st.
James Gazette this afternoon publishes an
article in which 1t says: "If the story istrue,
President Harrison is disgraced. and has
mad himself Ridiculous The story is not
given as gossip, but as a report of toe off,
cial proceedings Of the Senate committee
on foreign relations. Snch paltry trick is
inconceivable.
SARCASTIC AT HARRIsON's EXPENSE.
LONDON, Jan. 90, 8 A. M-The Times and
Telegraph have sarcastic articles on Presi-
dent Harrison's disclaimer of official knowl
edge OF Chile's backdown prior to the
issuing Of his ultimatum. The Times con-
cludes: perhaps President Harrison has
more explanations to offer. They seem at
present very much needed"
The Times correspondent at Santiago
telegraphs: Nothing has been received
officially from Washington. Everything is
quiet here"
The Standard, in an editorial this morn
ing on che dispute between the United States
and Chile, says: ''Senor Perreira, the
Chilean minister Of foreign affairs,
cannot be suspected OF any
desire to make President Harrison ook
foolish, but circumstances made up for the
absence Of design. We are not quite sure
that the Judgment Of the managers Of his
party will sincerely echo President Harri-
sons remark that the turn Of affairs be-
tween the two countries is very crafty
ing"
ONLY NAVAL OFFICERS WANT WAR.
Special Dispatch 10 the Morning Ne,cs.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Everybody, ex-
cept few war-loving naval officers. agrees
that the Chilean war is over. There may
be some regret in other quarters that 1t is
over so soon, when it bid fair to prove SO
profitable. politically or pecuniarily, but
outside the Army and Navy Club this regret
is not expressed. The applause with which
the House followed the announcement that
the whole subject, as carried by to-day's
message with its accompanying correspond
ence, had been buried in the
committee on foreign affairs, was
spontaneous expression OF the
general feeling of relief and satisfaction
to which Chairman Sherman gave more
formal expression in the Senate. So glad
we're the senators and representatives to
get rid OF a question which promised to
make trouble politically for them that they
gave very little thought apparently to the
details Of its settlement. No one at the
capitol had any definite information to-day
as 10 exactly how Chile would finally make
whatever formal apology and money
reparation she does make. Every
body was content with the Presidents
assurance that it would now come out all
right, in spite of the statements of naval
officers that the ind cations as to popular
feeling in Chile, and particularly the prep
arations for the great banquet on Saturday
night to demon strate the popular affection
for Malta showed that the Chilean govern
ment might not be aDle to redeem its prom
ises and that we would yet have to fight.
EGAN's WITHDRAWAL EXPECTED.
One of the results of the Chilean difficulty
oenerallv expected is the withdrawal of Min-
ister Egan from Santiago and of Minister
Montt from Washington. Minister Egan,
