Blaine was little late in arriving. To
a reporter of the United Press, Secretary
Blaine said just at he was entering the
cabinet meeting, that ''no reply that he
had heard of" had been received from
the Chilian government to the demand
Of the United States. No confirmation
of the Santiago dispatch published can
be obtained on any side, and in no Off
cial quarter is the dispatch credited.
Postmaster General Wanamaker said
that war was no nearer to-day than it
was last week. He had not, he said,
heard that Chill had replied to the
United States. He intimated that after
the meeting of the cabinet he would be
more familiar with the situation.
None Would Talk.
At 1:4O p. m. the cabinet meeting
adjourned. Every member present was
asked if a reply had been received from
Chill, and every one, as though some
concerted action had been determined
upon, declined to answer. President
Harrison was asked about the matter,
but sent word that he would not say
anything on the subject. Mr.. Blaine,
who, before the cabinet meeting, had
stated that "no reply that he had heard
Of had been received from Chill, after
the cabinet meeting would neither deny
or confirm his former statement. 1t is
the general belief, based on the best
obtainable information, that Chill has
not yet replied to the ultimatum of th {
United States.

SANTIAGO, Jan. 27.-The Chilian gov
ernment has sent reply to the ultima
tum of the United States. The reply is
in effect as follows:
Chill agrees to withdraw the offensive
note sent by Senior Malta to all the Chill
ian ministers abroad and acknowledge
that its issuance was due to an error of
judgment. Chill also withdraws its re-
quest for the withdrawal of United
States Minister Egan. In addition the
Chilian government in its answer pro-
poses that the affair of the attack on
the Baltimore sailors in Valparaiso be
submitted to the arbitration of some
neutral nation. If this proposition is
not acceptable to the United States gov.
ernment the Chilian government sug-
gests that the matter be submitted tc
the decision of the supreme court OF
the United States.

of mad clamor. Tie covert and indi.
rect application for the recall Of Min
lister Egan is deservedly treated as
mere subterfuge for delay.
The Morning Advertiser says: The
tone of the message is aggressive and
warlike, and unless the matter assumes
different shape through arbitration Chill
is left in a position to apologize or suffer
the penalty. There is neither glory nor
profit for the United States in war
against such an adversary, and there
should be no war until arbitration has
utterly failed.
The World says: The country now
knows all there is to know respective to
the Chilian situation. That the situa-
tion is serious nobody can doubt.
The Herald says: It is fortunate that
the president sent with his message the
correspondence which has passed be-
tween the two governments. This will
enable the people of the country to
judge Of the merits Of the controversy.
and if we mistake not the popular YER
dict will be that Mr.. Harrison has by
his precipitate action and undue haste
brought about a crisis unwarranted and
unjust to a friendly sister republic,
crisis which might easily have been
averted by calm, patriotic and states
manlike diplomacy. We think Presi-
dent Harrison has made grave mis-
take. We trust it may be remedied.
The Press says: The evidence pre-
sented in the message and correspon-
dence removes every shadow of doubt,
if there ever was shadow, that our
sailors were maltreated and murdered
because they wore the American uni
form. The demands of our government
are set forth in temperate and deliber-
ate, but unequivocal tone. It is the
time to say to Chill that the American
nation is prepared to appeal to the final
arbitrament for which conduct like
that of the Chilian government leaves
no alternative. The people have waited
for the president; now they are waiting
for congress.
The Times says: The statements of
the presidents message and the evidence
of the correspondence leave no reason
able doubt that the assault upon the
Baltimore's men was, as our govern

it carries to congress and to the country

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The telegram
from Santiago printed saying that Chilli
had decided to apologize, and that a
message to that effect would reach
Washington shortly, was read with
much satisfaction by all classes of peo-
pie in Washington, and everywhere the
hope was expressed that the report was
true. and that hostilities might be
avoided. While every one, or nearly
every one, favors vigorous policy and
sustains President Harrison in the posi-
tion taken in his message, no one wants
to punish Chill simply as means of
showing the power of the United States.
Mr.. Blount, chairman of the house
committee on foreign affairs, speaking
of the telegram, said that if the country
could stand anything it certainly could
stand reference of the case to the
supreme court If the report be true it
is the second instance within short
time when foreign country had put
itself upon record as being willing to
trust the decision Of the questions affect
ing its interests to the supreme court.
In the Sayward case, recently, it will be
remembered the English government
instead of resorting to the usual chan
mel Of diplomacy, brought the case into
the supreme court.
No authentic corro borationhas :.as yet
been had of the report from Santiago
announcing that Chill had agreed to
withdraw the offensive Malta note and
was willing to submit the question of
indemnity to the United States court
for decision.
The Report Not Confirmmed.
If such dispatch has been received
inquiry at the state, war and navy de-
partments elected the reply that none
had been received there. If such dis
patch has been received by the state de-
partment it would be sent to the secre-
tary of the navy. Secretary Tracy said
he had received nothing from the state
department but did receive cipher
message from commander Evans an
nouncing the fact that the Yorktown
had landed the refugees.
Inquiry at the residence of Secretary
Blaine was met with the statement that
he had nothing to communicate.
Minister Montt was seen by a reporter
who approached him for news. The
minister declined to be interviewed and
would express no opinion on the presi-
dents message, nor the manner in
: which it had been received by the
American people. He was asked if he
7 had received advices from his govern
, ment to the effect that Chill had agreed
to the demands made by the United
, States. He replied that he had received
. no dispatches from Chill. The minister
: showed no disposition to discuss Chiliar
matters, and the subject was changed
a to the windy weather that at presen
1 prevails in Washington.

A Dispatch Received at the State Depart
ment from Chilli.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-A dispatch
from Chill was received at the depart
ment of state just afternoon. It is not
possible at this writing to give its con-
tents. The state and navy departments
are alive with rumors. One of these is
to the effect that the dispatch states
that Chill will withdraw the language
in the now famous Malta note as far as
it applies to the United States. It is
further rumored that the United States
had sent reply to Chill that her propo-
sition is unsatisfactory. The president
dent and members of the cabinet decline
to discuss the matter at this time.
