Il was Dot considered proper or desirable
to comply with this SUI sStlOD, which was
entirely unexpected ana IN TACT created
great surprise. TbereupOu Z was det-T-

brought 10 a decisive point by inviting Chile
TO choose between the two alternatives,

tions between tie Uujted States and Chile
must entirely and indefinitely cease. No
demand that she make an apology for those
attacks was included 10 the communication
thus sent for the reason that 1t IS uureT-
stood that Chile has already made 10 this
Government earnest disclaimers Of SYM

sEvEBING DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS
There IS good reason TO believe that all

severance OF Diplomatic relations, and that
tie supposed danger Of waT is by no means
increased by the S ep now taken On the
contrary, Il Is believed that no more serious
results would follow the cessation OF dlplO-
matte intercourse with Chile than lave fol-
lowed similar interruption Of such relations
with other countries in the past. Il is un-
derstOOd that this Government was not only
surprised but also disappointed by the re-
eeipt Of the suggestion for Minister Fans
recall, in view Of the fact that a settlement
OF the lOUg-peuding diplomatic controversy
upon the existing lines seemed to be pro-
crossing favgTaDiy and there was 10 ap-
parent reason why objection to E-an should
be made at this late day. There is also
good reason 10 believe that Minister MOntt
is greatly disappointed by this unexpected
turn Ot affairs which threatens 20 end his
earnest efforts 10 bring about an amicabie
adjustment by the usual diplomatic meth

AS ENBAssADOR SUGGESTED.
Senator Morgan Of Alabama, the head Of
the Democratic minority on the Senate For
gn Re ati0us Committee, in Tie course Of
a conversation TODAY, concerning the re-
ports that Minister EgaU's recall had been
requested, said: This would b8 a good
opportunity to send some great American
down there whose name would carry with
Il dignity and authority, such a man as Ed
muHG5 for instance, as EmbassadOr 70 that
G Vernment for the purpose Of negotiating
JrEa'y and looking over the field. Our
treaties with Chile have been terminated
That would be no Offense 10 Egan. An
ambassador IS sent to dO a particular Jh ng:
70 adjust affairs and arrange relations be-
tween Minister accredited TO power aud
the Government Of that power. It would
be a fine opportunity for this Govern meut
10 show desire to do Justice to Egah, to
Chile and 10 all concerned. Send a Pleni-
pOtenuary and EmJassa1OT with powers TO
negotiate a treaty, and while on the gro uLd
70 see exactly what the situation Is.
PEACE PENDING ARBITRATION.
Pending that there would be peace and an
absence Of irritation 10 our country. and in
Chile, too. There would be no Cffense 10
Egan and Il seems 20 me the Government
hss lost ITS opportunity. Although / DO not
distTust at all The patriotism Of Harrison or
Blaine iu the matter It is very natural that
they should lean 10 his side, because at the
time Of his appointment there was great
doubt as 10 whether he was a proper man to
send 10 such place. But" added the SEN
Rt0T. an apology Ohght not to be at all the
condition for tie recall Of Egau. If Egan
be not acceptable they would only have to
cay SO 90 secure his recall They have the
right 60 have him recalled independent Of
an apology, if they are going TO make it."
The Senator said II seemed to him that any
apology would be not so much for what
Chile had done as for what she had said
about us.I
CHILE's DISCLAIMER.
"The Government Of Chile" said he
"disclaims all connection with, All aDprOba-
tian Of and ali excuse for the mob, and
promises TO punish the guilty parties when
ever they may be found according to their
own laws As to the Baltimore assault
this is about as clear a case Of eXOneTatiOn on
the part u the Chilean Government as they
could arrange for. The question Of COM
pensatiun TO the men wounded and to the
relations Of the men killed IS one that must
rest In tie judgment Of the Chilean people
unless that Government is responsible in
some way. II that Government is RESPONSE
bic for the affair and refuses to make H.
pensatiOn, Of course II Is our duty 10 make
IeCamatiOns upon them and upon their
commerce until we get money enough to
pay for the losses sustained. II that Gov
eminent is not responsible to our Govern
Tent for the wrong done TO our citizens
then the question Of indemnity is one Of
mere beneYOlence such as we exercised
after the Chinese massacre at Rock
Springs"
MATTA's HOT TEMPER.
If in the place OF Malta Chile had had a
man Of good temper. experience and sound
judgment at the head Of the Department Of
the Exterior corresponding TO our State
Department. Senator Morgan thought, we
would not have had all this trouble. He
scouted the TumOr TO the effect that this
Government would urge Chile to hasten its
answer to our communication. "That would
be very singular request 10 make, he said.
1T would not do; il would be a very undtg
Dtied demand for this Government 10 make.
II the Government has an ultimatum TO
PROFOUND to Chile let it do it, and not let it
depend n any sense upon whether Chile is
10 hurry to answer"
In reply to suggestion Of the hope that a
peaceful solution would result, Senator
Morgan said: 81 never had any doubt
about II. have not put any war-paint on
since It started" he said, laughingly. 81
