cided improvement in the situation has
occurred in the past twenty four hours.
There Is now no war talk. Minister
Montt cables from Washington that he
has assurances OF an early settlement
of the question involved. Sefior Pereira,
minister of foreign affairs. has assured
Minister Egan that the Chilean govern
ment will severely punish all persons
who have insulted Americana. Two OF
the roughs who stoned the occupants of
the Yorktown's gig week ago have
been arrested, and their conviction and
sentence may be expected. Notwith-
standing the reports sent from Washing
ton that President Harrison is urging
an immediate reply to the demand made
upon Chile by the United States, / have
been told by representative of the
Chilean government that no specific re-
quirements have been forwarded to SAM
tiago. Up to this time only general
proposals have been made, and the
Chilean government is now awaiting
the delivery of the express terms OF the
demands which the United States gov
ernment will make upon it. 1t is not
expected here that these demands will
be made until after the entire evidence
concerning the Baltimore affair has
been received at Washington. am
told on official authority that the
Chilean minister at Washington has
been instructed to act in most con-
ciliatory manner. United States Minis
ter Egan now meets with great consid-
Grafton when visiting the Moneda. the

success.
THR SITUATION AT WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The president
today concluded bis examination of the
Diplomatic correspondence in'the. Ch5l-
can controversy, and sent the docu-
ments back to the state department.
At the cabinet meeting today he an
nounced this, and indicated that the
next step in the case would not be long
delayed. The whole matter was dis
cussed in general way, but no action
was taken, as there is nothing to be
done before the correspondence is pub
dent will accompany the transmission
of the correspondence by message on
the subject that will advance certain
propositions that will give the final at
titude of the administration in very
positive manner. The expectation is
that he will have his message ready 80
that it can be submitted to the cabinet
at it's meeting Tuesday next, and'it is
therefore thought the earliest time it
can be sent to congress Will ne tuesday
afternoon or more probably Wednesday
morning.
The investigation inGo the attack
upon the kalimore's sailors, conducted
at Vallejo, having come!to an end, there
| is now no reason why the facts thus
ELECTED. which would seem to greatly
strengthen the governments case,
should not be incorporated in the docu-
| ments sent to congress, especially as
portions of the testimony have been
mailed to Washington, and the last
batch should be here in few days.
A cable was received at the navy de-
partment today from Commodore Evans
of the United States steamer Yorktown
at Valparaiso. but Secretary Tracy said
it contained no information OF import
ance. 1t is said at the navy department.

Newark have been ordered to the West

nothing to communicate indicating a
change OF policy on the part OF Chile.
