THE GILLIAN SITUATION.
NO APOLOGY YET RECEIvED FOR TIE
OpTRAGE ON OUR SAILORS,

Ana No Uttersnce from the Chilian Author
tiles Except In the Nature or = JustiAca-
tion or the vaiPsraiso Mob's Violence.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-the Chilian situation
to-day practically remains where II did three
months ago. whom. on Oct. 10. 1891. the assault
upon the Baltimores sailors occurred. Chill
has made no apology for the outrage. or by
any official communication indicated that she
Intends to make apology or reparation. The
United States Government has repeatedly
called tho attention OF Chili to the assaults. but
ns yet hns made no formal demands for in
demnity. The action OF the Chilian Govern
ment in go long delaying the tonder OF an
apology Is in striking contrast with the
hction OF the United States Government in
the Malta affair at New Orleans. With
in n week after the occurrence Of the New Or
leans trouble the President Of tho United
States. in an official communication to tine
Italian Government. characterized the New
Orleans affair as dcplorable and expressed
his regrets at ITS occurrence. No such utter
ances have been received from the Chilian au-
thorties. Their every utterance has been in
tho nature OF justification OF the action OF the
Chilian mob. The inquiry instituted by the
CIiilian Government has appeared to the
United States Government as having been con-
Quoted with view to iustlfying the assault.
1t appears to our people that public sentiment
in Chill has been planned to increase hostility
in the United States. Public sentiment here
has at all times been we'll disposed toward Chill.
The contrast totween tho feeling OF the peo.
ple in the United States and Chilli is certainly
very striking scnor Montt the Chilian Min.

M'kANE A DEMOCRAT AGAIN
Elected Chairman Pro TEN. OF the Klngs
County Board OF Supervisors.

Elected Chairman Pro TEN. or the Kings
County board or Supervisors.
There was no vacant scat in the chamber Of
the Kings County Board Of Supervisors in the
Court House in Brooklyn Yesterday. when the
new Board was called to order. The thirty
members OF the Board and Mayor Boody as ex
ofliclo member. were all in their places. The
complexion Of the Board is overwhelmingly
Democratic. the Republicans numbering only
fve. The most significant action at yester-
days meeting was the election OF Supervisor
John Y. McKane Of Gravesend as Chairman
pro TEN. He was nominated at q caucus OF the
Democratic members. on Tuesday NIGHT ard
the five Republicans joined In the vote for his
election.
The choice OF the political boss OF C}ravesend
az Chairman, pro ten. Of the Board Of Super
visors means his aban ndonment Of his Republi-
can allies, and his return to the Democratic
fold. Mckane's restoration to full fellowship
with the Democracy Of Kings county will be
further emphasized bv the immediate dis
bandment Of the Democratic Association OF
GravesenG and, its reorganization by the Nc:
Kane forces. The renewal OF tho personal and
political frIendshir Of McKane aud Hugh Me
taughln. the Demoeratic leader, is a blow to
the Kings county Republican leaders. and
