Mr. Blaine dated January %; a reply Of Mr..

conciliatory and friendly that l am Of the opin.
ion that there is good prospect that the differ

be adjusted upon terms satisfactory to this
government, by the usual methods and
without special powers from congress-
This turn in the affairs is very gratifying
to me, as 1 am sure it will be

support of the efforts of the executive to enforce
the just right of the nation in this matter has
Eiven an instructive and useful illustration of
the unity and patiotism Of our people. Should
1t be necessary, will again communicate with
congress upon the subject

conclusions of President Harrison as
stated in the former message and cor
respondence.
Letter B, received under date of jan

incident at Valparaiso was mot hos
tile feeling toward the uniform of the
United States, because the people
Of Chilli have always esteemed and re-
spected that uniform ever since the time
when it saw it figuring honora bly, in the
ranks of the soldiers and sailors who

tober IS was Of greater gravity than
those which usually occur in the same
district, and the fact that two deaths
had resulted from it has sufficed
TO induce the government of
Chilli to hasten to adopt the
measures necessary to discover
and punish the guilty parties and offer
such reparatlon as might be due. The
Chilian government has been COM
PEELED to delay, greatly to it's regret,
The settlement of the difficulty and a
spontaneous offer of reparation for any
