to Chill
WASHINGTON, Jan % There is nothing
but war talk over the prospect Of affairs
with Chill in view Of the dispatch Of an ult
natum by this government to the South
American republic The ultimatum, though
diplomatic, is sharp, short and to the point.
Three subjects are covered by the document.
A sungiug Uitimatum.
The assault upon the Baltimore's sailors is
the first The secretary Of state directs Mr.. |
Egan to inform the Chilian government that I
| after full and careful examination Of the 7
evidence Of that affair as submitted by the !
Chilian authorities and as shown in the ex-
animation Of the Baltinore's sailors the |
president feels compelled to stand by the |
terms Of Assistant Secretary Wharton's IN |
structions to Minister Egani given Oct. .,
and to insist upon apology and repalation
| therefor.
The second subject is the Malta circular
note Of Dec IS. This note, the Chilian gov
ernment is informed, is offensive to the
president and other officers of the United
States. and that unless it is promptly with
drawn and the language disavowed by the
Chilian government in equally public and
general form as that in which it was circu-
lated, Minister Egan viii ask for passports
and diplomatic relations between the cOun-
tries viii cease.
The third subject is the proposed recall Of
Minister Egan. Acknowledgement is made
Of the receipt Of Minister Months note, stat
ing that Minister Egdn is not persona grata
to the government of Chill, and announcing
the readiness and desire OF that government
to receive another representative Of the
United states at Santiago Upon this sub
iect the government Of Chilli is informed
that the note cannot now be considered.
/
pending settlement, ana when they are sat
sfactorily disposed Of this government win
then consider the request for the recall Of
Mr.. Egan.
A Question of veracity.
United States Minister Egan was, Of
course, notified Of the receipt Of the note
from Senor Montt demanding his recall and
it is said a message has been received from
Egan stating that the members Of the
Chilian government authorized to speak
upon such matters have verbally assured
him that they We're satisfied with him, and
that similar statements were made to the
ministers from other countries. This dis
patch raises a question Of veracity between
Minister Egan and Senor Montt, which
subsequent correspondence or events may
aid in settling Certain it is, that up to the
receipt Of Mr.. Months note, the records do
$ not showtany indication OF dissatisfaction
with Minister Egan by the Chilian authori-
: ties. When President Jorge Montt an
o nounced the formation Of his cabinet on the
t lst inst. Minister Egan expressed his sat
s isfaction, stating that two members were
, his personal friends and he expected to find
his future relations with all the members Of
D the cabinet most pleasant
r An incident which goes to show that
Minister Montt regards the situation very
grave occurred q few evenings ago at the
! house of a cabinet officer, when the minis
ter, in speaking Of the Chilian question
e became 50 painfully excited that the subject
had to be dropped
3 There seems to be no doubt that Presi-
! dent Harrison viii send his message TO con
t gress at once. The programme Of the two
houses viii probably be that it viii be read
i charge Of foreign affairs, to be printed with
accompanying documents and correspond
!. ence. It's future consideration will then be
\ a subject for the Termination Of the sena-
tors and representatives
z War Preparations Continue.
d Activity at the Washington navy yard
continues, and Commodore Folger, of the
ordnance bureau, leaves his desk at the
navy department every little while to 60 TO
the yard to survey the work and see the
progress that is being made. One carload
of jO0 projectiles has been shipped 10 New
Y York for the Miantonomah, and more cars
, viii soon take another supply. The Shells
2 however, are casteel and not armor piaro-
y ing projectiles. The second gun for the
e Monterey is now at the naval proving
!, grounds, Indian Head, Nd, undergoing its
! ] tests, which, it is understood, have proved
successful. a car s at the navy yard wait
. ing 10 take it TO San Francisco, and as soon
Us It reaches the yard win be placed upon it
and shipped Immediately.
at the navy department the officials
united in saying that nothing had been re-
ceived from either Valparaiso and Callao,
90 that if Captain Evans has reached there
with the Yorktown and landed the refugees
taken aboard from the United States lega-
a tion at Santiago, they will not know the
fact until today. AS has been stated, the
!. navy department does not expect to hear
officially from Valparaiso until the York
= town returns The vessel should have
reached Callao yesterday under ordinary
conditions Of going.
One Of the officials said the stories that
n Admiral Gherardi had sailed away to the
east in the Philadelphia to meet and en-
gage the Captain Pratt as the latter sailed
away from Toulon in an incomplete condi-
9 tion with an inexperienced crew was fanci-
ful creation, but would not say where the
admiral had gone, if he knew. There is an
extraordinary degree of mystery surround
ing the movements Of this officer and the
