 Chilli Sends a Reply to the Note ol
 the United States-The Message
 Discussed at a Cabinet meetfng-

 Washington.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-This govern ment to-day received long message from Minister Egan conveying an offer on the part of the Chilian government for the settlement of all existing difficulties with the United States. This dispatch confirms the statements made in the Associated Press dispatch from Santiago last evening, which was in effect that Chii had agreed to withdraw the offensive note sent by Senor Matta; to withdraw its request for the recall of Minister Egan and to submit the Baltimore affair to the arbitration of some neutral nation or to the de cision of the United States supreme court. Mir. Egan states these propositions at greater length than the press dispatch, but the ex- act additions cannot now be ascertained. There is reason to believe, however, that the Chilian government not only offers to withdraw the offensive note, but also offers to apologize for it. It also agrees to the positions taken by the United States in regard to the right of asylum and the safe conduct of refugees. MT. Egsn's dispatch was submitted co the cabinet at it's meeting to-day. The entire message was discussed and it is understood differ ence of opinion was developed ss to the propriety of accepting the offer without modification so far as it related to the sub mission of the question of Chili's liability for the attack on the Baltim ore's sailors to the arbitration of neutral nation or to the decision of the supreme court. Without reaching decision the meeting adjourned The president will doubtless communicate MT. Egan's dispatch to congress, but will probably not do so for several days unless it is called for by the house.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The secretary of the navy this afternoon sent cablegram to Commander Evans of the U. s. s. York town, now at Callao, authorizing him to give his crew shore leave. This alone shows that the vessel will remain at Callao for at least two or three days, if that fact were not already established by the neces- sity of coaling. It was said at the depart ment it had not decided whether the York town or the Boston or both should return to Valparaiso. The impression is general among naval officers, however, that the Yorktown will be selected and that she will be the only American vessel sent there for the present.
 Captain Schley, commander of the Bslti- more, arrived here this afternoon from San Francisco and had a long conference with the secretary of the navy in regard to the assault on the Baltimore's crew at Valparaiso. He had nothing to say on the subject for publication. He stated that he expected to remain in Washington two or three days and then return to his vessel at San Francisco. Captain Schley has already had more than the regulation amount of continuous sea service and is entitled to shore duty, but he remarked to day that he did not propose to give up his ship now unless compelled to.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Representative Sperry of Connecticut, McMillin of Ten nessee, Lodge of Massachusetts and many others today expressed themselves as sat- is6ed with the Chilian reply, provided the dispatch was accurate.
 The senators were generally disinclined to express any opinion until after they had read the official communication made by Chili to the state department.
 ''I would prefer" said Senator Dawes, to wait until we get fuller information be- fore giving any expression of opinion. We want to know how broad the concessions of Chili are and how far she has conceded the demands of our ultmatum. The head lines in the morning papers, l am glad to say, were satisfactory, but would prefer to await official information before giving any extended opinion"
 DIES MONIES, Jan. 26.-The senate to-day unanimously adopted 8 resolution endors- ing the presidents Chilian message.
