yet been made public. 1t is awaited on

patriots declare they would prefer to see
a resort to arms. Such talk as this, it is

The naval officers are reported to be
much stirred up at the thought They
may be called upon to salute the stars
and stripes. They go so far as to say. ac-
cordIng to the reports published in to-
days papers, that they would see the
Chilean fleet sunk before they would sa-
lutte the American flag.

! Santiago special says: Intense anxiety
is felt in this city as to the reply of the
